Our ACA-based instrument, OABCare, is a feasible and acceptable tool for assessing preferences in OAB patients. Preference assessment can facilitate shared decision-making and may enhance the quality of OAB care. Future work will evaluate the OABCare instrument in different subgroups based on sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics, and its integration into clinical care settings.
