The impact of overactive bladder, incontinence and other lower urinary tract symptoms on quality of life, work productivity, sexuality and emotional well-being in men and women: results from the EPIC study (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This study investigates the impact of overactive bladder (OAB) and other lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), work productivity, sexuality, and emotional well-being. Using data from the EPIC study, results indicate that OAB, particularly in conjunction with additional LUTS, significantly affects patients' HRQoL, with notable differences in work productivity and emotional health compared to controls. The findings emphasize the need for comprehensive management of OAB alongside associated symptoms to improve overall patient outcomes.
