Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of sharing follow-up care after HCT between the HCT specialty center and local oncologists.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a multicenter collaborative randomized clinical trial of patients undergoing HCT at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI)-a high volume HCT center in Boston (Massachusetts)-and 8 local oncology practices.

- Overactive bladder (OAB) is a long-term condition affecting health and finances, and guidelines were created to improve its management, but the effectiveness of these guidelines remains unclear.
- A study analyzed data from a national health claims database (Optum) between 2013 and 2018 to evaluate trends in OAB treatment, focusing on medication and minimally invasive therapies post-2014 guideline updates.
- The research included over 1.8 million patients, revealing a significant increase in new OAB diagnoses (369%) and providing insights into therapy utilization patterns based on various demographic factors.
