Anticholinergic Burden in the Elderly Population: An Emerging Concern. Editorial Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Antimuscarinics are commonly used to treat overactive bladder, but increase anticholinergic burden, which has been associated with multiple adverse outcomes in older patients. We advocate for standardization of anticholinergic risk assessment and reevaluation of anticholinergic prescribing practices for the elderly.
