1. Content Summary
The Overactive Bladder Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (OAB-S) consists of two modules: the Pre-
medication module and the Medication module:
• The 21-item Pre-medication module is designed to be completed by the patient at the start of
a study (i.e. before study medication is started) and aims at documenting the patient’s
expectations with medication (i.e., OAB Medication Expectation scale) and the impact of the overactive bladed on patient’s day-to-day life (i.e., Impact on Daily Living scale). One global assessment, i.e., Impact on Daily Living, is also evaluated.
• The 40-item Medication module is designed to be completed at follow-up study visits (i.e.
after patients have experiences with study medication). This module consists of four scales
(i.e., OAB Control, Impact on Daily Living, OAB Medication Tolerability and Satisfaction with OAB Control) and five global assessments evaluating fulfillment of OAB medication
expectations, the overall interruption of patient’s day-to-day life due to OAB, the overall
patient’s satisfaction with OAB medication, the patient’s willingness to continue the OAB medication and patient’s perceived life improvement due to OAB medication.
The content of the OAB-S is detailed in Table 1.

2. Scoring Procedures
The proportion of completed items required in order to score each OAB-S scale varies depending on
the internal consistency reliability of each scale.
For the OAB Control, OAB Satisfaction with Control and Impact on Daily Living with OAB scales, at
least five out of the ten items (50%) in each scale must be completed in order to compute a scale
score. These three scales have very good internal consistency reliability; in the original validation
study, at the first administration of each scale, Cronbach’s alpha was 0.83 for OAB Control (baseline),
0.94 for OAB Satisfaction (baseline) and 0.96 for Impact on Daily Living with OAB (enrollment). The
50% complete rule is a common standard [for example, this is the same standard used when scoring
the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36)].
For the OAB Medication Expectations scale, at least eight out of the ten items (80%) in the scale must
be completed in order to calculate a score, and for the OAB Medication Tolerability scale, at least five
out of the six items (83.3%) in the scale must be completed to calculate a scale score. The reason for
requiring higher proportions of completed items for these two scales is that while the internal
consistency reliability for these scales met the commonly-accepted minimum standard of 0.70 for
multi-item scales intended for making group-level comparisons, the reliability coefficients were
somewhat lower than the other three scales. In the original validation study at the first administration
of each scale Cronbach’s alpha was 0.75 for OAB Medication Expectations (enrollment) and 0.76 for
OAB Medication Tolerability (baseline). Thus it was deemed advisable to require more stringent data-
completion standards for these two scales.

Development and Validation of the OAB-S
In sections below, “initial response value” refers to the raw numeric response value listed on the form
next to each response choice and entered into the database (these are the values summarized in the
last column of Table 1). If in a given study the initial response values used on the CRF and entered
into the database differ from those summarized in Table 1 and shown on the forms in the Appendix,
then extra programming may be necessary to recode the initial response values so that they match
the values in Table 1 and on the forms in the Appendix. The scoring instructions below assume that
the initial response values match the values shown in Table 1 and on the forms in the Appendix.
“Final response value” refers to the numeric response value for each item after any necessary
reverse-coding or re-coding has been performed (see each section below for detailed instructions).
2.1. OAB Control Expectations Scale
First the coding of eight of the items (EXP1 to EXP7 and EXP10; Pre-Medication form items 1, 2a, 2b,
2c, 2d, 3a, 3b and 4c) must be reversed by subtracting the initial response value of each item from 6
(i.e. 6 – initial response value) so that a higher final response value is associated with expectations of
better OAB control while on medication for all items in the scale. Items EXP8 and EXP9 (Pre-
Medication form items 4a and 4b) do not require reverse coding; the final response values for those
two items are the same as the initial response values.
If fewer than eight of the ten items are completed, then do not score this scale (i.e. set the score to
missing).
If eight or more items are completed, then compute the scale score using the formula:
[(Sum of final response values for completed items / Number of completed items) - 1] X 25.
This is a simple linear transformation which results in a scale score ranging from 0 to 100, with a
higher score representing expectations of better OAB control while on medication.
2.2. OAB Control Scale
First the coding of eight of the items (CON1 to CON7 and CON10; Medication form items 1, 2a, 2b,
2c, 2d, 3a, 3b, and 4c) must be reversed by subtracting the initial response value of each item from 6
(i.e. 6 – initial response value) so that a higher final response value is associated with better OAB
control for all items in the scale. Items CON8 and CON9 (Medication form items 4a and 4b) do not
require reverse coding; the final response values for those two items are the same as the initial
response values.

Development and Validation of the OAB-S
If fewer than five of the ten items are completed, then do not score this scale (i.e. set the score to
missing).
If five or more items are completed, then compute the scale score using the formula:
[(Sum of final response values for completed items / Number of completed items) - 1] X 25
This is a simple linear transformation which results in a scale score ranging from 0 to 100, with a
higher score representing better OAB control.
2.3. Satisfaction with OAB Control Scale
First the coding of all ten items (SAT1 to SAT10; Medication form items 9, 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 11a,
11b, 12a, 12b, and 12c) must be reversed by subtracting the initial response value of each item from
6 (i.e. 6 – initial response value) so that a higher final response value is associated with better
satisfaction with OAB control for all items in the scale.
If fewer than five of the ten items are completed, then do not score this scale (i.e. set the score to
missing).
If 5 or more items are completed, then compute the scale score using the formula:
[(Sum of final response values for completed items / Number of completed items) - 1] X 25
This is a simple linear transformation which results in a scale score ranging from 0 to 100, with a
higher score representing better satisfaction with OAB control.
2.4. Impact on Daily Living with OAB scale
First the coding of all ten items (IDL1 to IDL10; Pre-Medication form items 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g,
5h, 5i, and 5j; Medication form items 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e, 6f, 6g, 6h, 6i, and 6j) must be reversed by
subtracting the initial response value of each item from 6 (i.e. 6 – initial response value) so that a
higher final response value is associated with better satisfaction with ability to perform daily activities
for all items in the scale.
If fewer than five of the ten items are completed, then do not score this scale (i.e. set the score to
missing).
If five or more items are completed, then compute the scale score using the formula:
[(Sum of final response values for completed items / Number of completed items) - 1] X 25

Development and Validation of the OAB-S
This is a simple linear transformation which results in a scale score ranging from 0 to 100, with a
higher score representing better satisfaction with ability to perform daily activities.
2.5. OAB Medication Tolerability Scale
First the coding of the response “I did not have this side effect” must be changed from an initial
response value of 0 to a final response value of six for all six items (TOL1 to TOL6; Medication form
items 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 8e, and 8f) so that a higher final response value is associated with better
medication tolerability (less bothered by side effects, with the highest value given to “I did not have
this side effect”) for all items in the scale. Note that the final response values associated with the
other five response choices for each item do not change from their initial values.
If fewer than five of the six items are completed, then do not score this scale (i.e. set the score to
missing).
If five or more items are completed, then compute the scale score using the formula:
[(Sum of final response values for completed items / Number of completed items) - 1] X 20
This is a simple linear transformation which results in a scale score ranging from 0 to 100, with a
higher score representing better medication tolerability.
2.6. Fulfilment of OAB Control Expectations Item
To get the final item score, the coding of this item must be reversed by subtracting the initial response
value from 6 (i.e. 6 – initial response value) so that the final item score ranges from one to five with a
higher score associated with better fulfillment of OAB medication expectations.
2.7. Interruption of Day-to-day Life due to OAB Item
The final item score is the same as the initial response value (no coding changes necessary). The
final item score ranges from one to five with a higher score associated with less interruption in day-to-
day life due to OAB symptoms.

Development and Validation of the OAB-S
2.8. Overall Satisfaction with OAB Medication Item
To get the final item score, the coding of this item must be reversed by subtracting the initial response
value from 6 (i.e. 6 – initial response value) so that the final item score ranges from one to five with a
higher score associated with better satisfaction with OAB medication.
2.9. Willingness to Continue OAB Medication Item
To get the final item score, the coding of this item must be reversed by subtracting the initial response
value from 6 (i.e. 6 – response value) so that the final item score ranges from one to five with a higher
score associated with greater desire/willingness to continue using the current OAB medication.
2.10. Improved Life with OAB Medication Item
To get the final item score, the coding of this item must be reversed by subtracting the initial response
value from 6 (i.e. 6 – response value) so that the final item score ranges from one to five with a higher
score associated with greater improvement in day-to-day life due to the current OAB medication.
