    The economic burden of overactive bladder (OAB) is significant, encompassing direct, indirect, and intangible costs. Accurately quantifying these costs is crucial for understanding OAB's societal impact.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Economics
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Overactive bladder (OAB) incurs substantial direct, indirect, and intangible costs.
    • Quantifying the total economic burden of OAB is essential for societal impact assessment.
    • Existing research highlights the significant economic burden of urinary incontinence, a key OAB symptom.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the need for comprehensive cost quantification in overactive bladder (OAB).
    • To outline economic evaluation models applicable to OAB interventions.
    • To identify challenges in assessing the economic impact of OAB treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of cost categories associated with OAB (direct, indirect, intangible).
    • Discussion of economic evaluation models: cost-minimization, cost-outcome, cost-utility, cost-benefit.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Identification of challenges in quantifying intangible costs.

    • Main Results:

    • The total economic burden of OAB remains undetermined.
    • Urinary incontinence, a symptom of OAB, has a substantial economic impact.
    • Estimating intangible costs presents the primary difficulty in economic impact evaluations.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive understanding of OAB's economic burden requires quantifying all cost types.
    • Economic evaluation models are vital for assessing OAB interventions.
    • Further research is needed to accurately estimate intangible costs associated with OAB.
