LUTS in Older Adults: Definitions, Comorbidity Impact, Patient Priorities, and Treatment Strategies for Managing Daytime and/or Nighttime Symptoms ‐ ICI‐RS 2024

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are prevalent among older adults, a population that faces multiple medical challenges, with frailty being a major concern. Despite the high prevalence of LUTS, current treatment strategies for older adults are often inadequate. This paper aims to address these issues by defining daytime and/or nighttime LUTS and examining the impact of comorbid conditions on these symptoms. We will identify the priorities of older patients regarding LUTS management and propose treatment strategies to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population.
