Editorial Comment: There has been some discussion in recent years as to whether adjusted associations between overactive bladder (OAB) and falls and fractures demonstrate a definite correlation. Among 783 potentially relevant studies these authors found 15 that contributed estimates for the core analyses of patients with overactive bladder. Nine studies measured falls and fractures prospectively and 6 retrospectively. The percentage of patients with OAB experiencing at least 1 fall during a year ranged from 18.9% to 50%, and the percentage experiencing recurrent or serious falls ranged from 10.2% to 56.0%. In studies that included a nonOAB comparison sample a greater risk of falls was observed in patients with OAB compared to those without. A 1.3 to 2.3-fold OAB associated risk of falls was reported, while unadjusted percentage of attributable risk of falls and fractures associated with OAB ranged from 3.7% to 15.5%. Risk was increased in women and those age 65 years or older. Analysis of fractures revealed elevated point estimates but most studies were underpowered to detect the statistically significant difference between groups. The authors feel that “the findings in this study highlight both the strength of the relationship between OAB and falls and fractures, and the limited evidence of the impact of any treatment on that risk.” Furthermore, they cite a recent systematic review of the impact of continence management strategies, including pharmacotherapy for OAB, which identified little evidence that such strategies reduce falls and acknowledged that the increased fall risk associated with anticholinergic medications could counter any observed benefits of continence management strategies in decreasing falls in this population. 1 The article includes 57 well chosen references on the subject.
