Search processing algorithms in a primary care setting, analyzing the specifics of care management for seniors suffering from urinary incontinence (UI), described the recommendations and levels of evidence of treatment.

Historical data showed worse perioperative outcomes after cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) in older patients. Additionally, the CARMENA trial questioned the survival benefit of cytoreductive CN. We reassessed complication, failure to rescue (FTR) and mortality rates after CN in a contemporary cohort of older patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).

Incontinence is common in hospitalised older adults but few studies report new incidence during or following hospitalisation.

To describe prevalence and incidence of incontinence in older inpatients and associations with clinical outcomes.

To assess the outcomes after artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation in older women aged over 75 years.

A monocentric retrospective study included all non-neurological women aged over 75 years suffering from stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency and undergoing an AUS placement between 1991 and 2015.

The incidence of prostate cancer among older men has increased in many countries, including Asian countries.

We assessed the efficacy and safety of mirabegron, a β3-adrenoceptor agonist, in older adults (≥ 80 years old) with overactive bladder (OAB).

OAB patients aged ≥ 80 years were enrolled in this prospective, single-arm observational study.

To examine the clinical features, applied treatments, and survival of older patients with prostate cancer compared with younger patients.

All patients diagnosed with prostate cancer between 2005 and 2015 in the Netherlands were identified from the nationwide population-based Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR).

Aging is associated with a combination of several lower urinary tract (LUT) signs and symptoms, including residual urine, overactive bladder and nocturia. One of the mechanisms of this LUT dysfunction that has not been discussed in dept so far is the role of dopamine (DA).
