Abstract
Patients with OAB are statistically significantly frailer than individuals seeking care for other non-oncologic urologic diagnoses. Frailty, when adjusted for age, race, and gender, is a statistically significant predictor of OAB. Furthermore, frailty should be considered when caring for older patients with OAB, and OAB should be assessed when caring for frail older patients.
