Live from AUA2021: Highlights in Overactive Bladder (2021)
Live from AUA2021: Highlights in Overactive Bladder is a panel discussion filmed LIVE at the 2021 AUA Annual Meeting!
This activity is designed to increase the urologist’s understanding of how to translate the latest scientific advances into their routine clinical practice, improving the care of patients with OAB. Panelists will review currently available agents as well as third line therapies, including the pros and cons of each option, and the current data regarding outcomes to facilitate proper patient counseling. Patient communication, including goal setting with respect to realistic expectations of therapy and therapeutic algorithms are important factors in improving patient outcomes.
