Summary
Anticholinergic medication is used to treat overactive bladder (OAB). A known side effect of
this medication is cognitive dysfunction. OAB is more prevalent in the elderly population - a
group that also has a higher baseline risk of cognitive dysfunction. Our objective is to
evaluate the effect of an anticholinergic medication on cognitive function in elderly women.
