title: Urologic care in long-term facilities.
abstract: The urologic care of the institutionalized elderly is confounded by the high prevalence of comorbid conditions. There is also a challenge to provide cost effective care to this group that requires a disproportionate share of health care resources. Bacteriuria, hematuria, and problems of urine control and drainage provide unique clinical conditions that must be dealt with.
