Article Title: It's About Time: The Temporal Burden of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Among Women.
Abstract: This secondary analysis studied 50 transcripts of women who shared day-to-day experiences of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and characterized temporal (time-associated) features of living with LUTS.

Increasing nurses' knowledge of the temporal context of LUTS may heighten awareness and improve symptom detection and management.
