Case description

Una Lee, MD, FPMRS, a urologist at the Virginia Mason Medical Center, discusses concepts physicians should consider when managing urinary incontinence and overactive bladder (OAB) in geriatric populations. First, Dr. Lee reviews the “5 M’s”: mind, mobility, medications, multi-complexity, and what matters most to the patient, or care goals/preferences. Additionally, she addresses the role of frailty in older adults, which is associated with increased risk of poor health outcomes. Lastly, she reviews data about the association of anticholinergic medication use and dementia.
