Antimuscarinic use among older adults with dementia and overactive bladder: a medicare beneficiaries study

CONCLUSIONS: Nearly one-third of dementia patients had OAB and over one-fourth of them used antimuscarinics. Majority of the incident users were prescribed non-selective antimuscarinics with several demographic and clinical factors contributing to their prescribing. Given the high prevalence of OAB among dementia patients, there is a need to optimize their antimuscarinics use, considering their vulnerability for anticholinergic adverse effects.PMID:33890538 | DOI:10.1080/03007995.2021.1920899
