We present in this contribution a review of recent results of parameters of massive OB stars in the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds and nearby spirals. The review is timely because of the strong lowering of the temperature scale of Galactic OB stars produced by the new model atmospheres, including sphericity, blanketing and mass-loss, that are also discussed, and because of the boost suffered by extragalactic stellar physics in the last years. The effects on the determination of mass-loss and the Modified Wind Momentum-Luminosity Relationship are discussed, and a comparison with evolutionary models is provided. We finally present a comparison of abundances from OB stars and H II regions in Orion and M 33.
