Evaluation of Financial Toxicity in Women Seeking Care for Urinary Incontinence
Women with moderate-to-severe financial toxicity related to urinary incontinence had worse urinary incontinence symptom severity and more unmet social needs. The COST-FACIT survey administered in women with urinary incontinence for the first time serves to characterize the subjective financial impact. Efforts to increase awareness of the cost burden of urinary incontinence may reveal cost-related barriers to care contributing to health care disparities among women with urinary incontinence.
