Title:
Conjoint Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand (USANZ) and Urogynaecological Society of Australasia (UGSA) Guidelines on the management of adult non‐neurogenic overactive bladder
Description:
<jats:p>Due to the myriad of treatment options available and the potential increase in the number of patients afflicted with overactive bladder (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">OAB</jats:styled-content>) who will require treatment, the Female Urology Special Advisory Group (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">FUSAG</jats:styled-content>) of the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">USANZ</jats:styled-content>), in conjunction with the Urogynaecological Society of Australasia (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">UGSA</jats:styled-content>), see the need to move forward and set up management guidelines for physicians who may encounter or have a special interest in the treatment of this condition. These guidelines, by utilising and recommending evidence‐based data, will hopefully assist in the diagnosis, clinical assessment, and optimisation of treatment efficacy. They are divided into three sections: Diagnosis and Clinical Assessment, Conservative Management, and Surgical Management. These guidelines will also bring Australia and New Zealand in line with other regions of the world where guidelines have been established, such as the American Urological Association, European Association of Urology, International Consultation on Incontinence, and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines of the UK.</jats:p>
