Comparison of anxiety and other psychosocial measures between OAB and controls (adjusted for age and sex)

OAB (n=50)* Controls (n=30) p-value (adjusted for age and sex)
Anxiety measures:
HADS-A (mean ± SD) 7.5 ± 4.5 3.3 ± 3.6 <0.001
% with HADS-A≥8 (presence of anxiety) 48.0% 13.3% 0.003
Odds ratio of having anxiety (HADS-A≥8) in OAB compared to controls (95% CI) OR=6.0 (CI: 1.8 to 19.7)
% with HADS-A ≥11 (moderate to severe anxiety) 24.0% 3.3% 0.025
Odds ratio of having moderate/severe anxiety (HADS-A ≥11) in OAB compared to controls (95% CI) OR=9.2 (CI: 1.1 to 74.6)
Other psychosocial measures: (mean ± SD)
Depression (HADS- D) 5.3 ± 3.9 2.8 ± 3.9 0.004
Psychological stress level (PSS) 17.3 ± 8.1 10.7 ± 8.5 0.001
Somatic symptom burden (PSPS-Q) 17.5 ± 12.3 6.4 ± 7.9 <0.001
Exposure to childhood sexual 29.4% 6.7% 0.040
trauma (CTES)
Sleep (PROMIS- 8b) 54.3 ± 10.3 43.8 ± 9.2 <0.001
Fatigue (PROMIS- 7a) 54.7 ± 9.6 46.0 ± 6.4 <0.001

One OAB patient did not provide complete HADS-A data and was thus excluded from comparisons.
