Associations of two urinary bacterial species with pre-surgery OABqSS values
| Species | Mean Relative Abundance Within the Sample (%) | Coefficient valuea | P-valueb |
|---|---|---|---|
| A. vaginae | 1.07 | 0.015 | 0.006 |
| F. magna | 1.32 | 0.030 | 0.008 |
a
The association between the bacteria and OABqSS scores were identified using linear regression with the bacterial abundance as the independent variable and OABqSS scores as the dependent variables. The positive coefficient values display the increase in OABqSS scores related to a 1% increase in bacterial abundance. We also explored the linear regression model using age and hormonal status as confounding factors (similar results).
b
p-values < 0.05 are considered significant; significant values are bolded.
