Background And Objective: There is a reported association between overactive bladder (OAB) treated with antimuscarinic drugs and an increased risk of a dementia diagnosis, although short-term data suggest that newer OAB antimuscarinics are cognitively safe. This study examined the cognitive safety of fesoterodine in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and OAB.
Methods: This four-way randomised crossover study examined the cognitive effects of fesoterodine 4 and 8 mg and oxybutynin 5 mg b.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the impact of an electronic urinary continence assessment system against usual care on care plans and resource use for nursing home residents in Alberta.
- It involved 101 residents across four nursing home units, with data collected quantitatively at several stages and qualitatively through interviews.
- Results showed that the electronic system led to a higher reduction in pad absorbency and improved quality of care and resource utilization, indicating its effectiveness and validation by nursing staff.
