Association of cancer with overactive bladder and impact of overactive bladder on mortality among cancer survivors: NHANES 1999-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. There is little knowledge on the association between cancer and risk of overactive bladder (OAB). Additionally, the impact of OAB on mortality among cancer survivors remains unknown.
