The economic burden of overactive bladder (OAB) and its effects on the costs associated with other chronic, age‐related comorbidities in the United States

Abstract

Within this US-based population, the healthcare costs of OAB patients were more than 2.5 times those of similar patients without OAB. Additionally, patients with OAB and chronic, age-related comorbidities incurred higher healthcare costs than non-OAB controls with the same comorbidities.
