The management of OAB increases in complexity as a patient becomes older. This can be due a number of factors, including the number of conditions an older patient needs to managed and the increasing severity of these conditions. In particular, cognitive impairment has become a major issue that has been identified among older OAB patients, with OAB being associated with measurably slower cognative responses. This episode will focus on the latest thinking on how to approach this OAB and lifelong care, and what is being done to address this issue as the geriatric population grows.

Diagnosis and management of OAB among males can be challenging, especially given the inherent overlap in symptoms observed with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is diagnosed and treated more frequently than OAB; however, the differences between diagnosis and treatment patterns for the two conditions highlight the potential undertreatment of OAB and misdirection of therapy for men. This episode explores various aspects of OAB in males, focusing on its unique characteristics within this population.

Although there have been significant advances in OAB treatments, OAB is significantly under-recognised and under-treated within the primary care setting. It is well established that there is a high “willingness to learn” about OAB management within primary care, and that educational activities can have a lasting impact on clinical practice. This episode will explore the motivation for primary care physicians to learn about OAB, the impact continuing education can have, and how trends in OAB management can impact how primary care physicians care for OAB patients.
