Abstract

Purpose of Review

To understand how frailty interacts with overactive bladder. To explore how frailty should be considered when devising an individualized treatment plan for OAB patients.

Recent Findings

Frailty can be assessed in the outpatient office without undue burden. The urology community is increasingly aware of the importance of evaluating a patient for frailty and including this assessment in treatment algorithms. Frailty should be considered when treating OAB patients, since frail OAB patients are more susceptible to the potential deleterious consequences of medical therapy, onabotulinumtoxinA therapy, and sacral neuromodulation.

Summary

A patient’s frailty status should be considered during counseling regarding OAB therapy. Additional studies are needed to examine the treatment effects and risks in the frail OAB population.

Harnwegsinfektprophylaxe: Es geht auch ohne Antibiotika

20.04.2024 EAU 2024 Kongressbericht

Beim chronischen Harnwegsinfekt bei Frauen wird bisher meist eine Antibiotikaprophylaxe eingesetzt. Angesichts der zunehmenden Antibiotikaresistenz erweist sich das Antiseptikum Methenamin-Hippurat als vielversprechende Alternative, so die Auswertung einer randomisierten kontrollierten Studie.
