Abstract:
This article outlines an evidence-informed, interdisciplinary, multidimensional, comprehensive action plan for the American Urogynecologic Society to improve care of women with overactive bladder (OAB) while minimizing treatment-related adverse events, including cognitive impairment. It is a "call to action" to advance basic, translational, and clinical research and summarizes initiatives developed at the State-of-the-Science Conference on OAB and Cognitive Impairment to (1) develop framework for a new OAB treatment approach in women, (2) define research gaps and future research priorities, (3) champion health equity and diversity considerations in OAB treatment, (4) foster community and promote education to remove stigma surrounding OAB and urinary incontinence, and (5) elevate visibility and impact of OAB, by creating partnerships through education and engagement with health care professionals, industry, private and public payers, funding agencies, and policymakers.
