Pediatric Urology

Disruptive papers - A novel bibliometric tool not yet ready for primetime in pediatric urology.

Historically, word of mouth, total citation count, H-index, and expert opinion were some of the primary metrics used to identify the most influential papers. This method is subject to significant bias.

Bladder bowel dysfunction scoring system (BBDSS): A novel, illustrated questionnaire for evaluation of voiding dysfunction in children.

We sought to evaluate the reliability and validity of a new, illustrated questionnaire, the bladder bowel dysfunction symptom score (BBDSS) in the assessment of overactive bladder (OAB) and bladder bowel dysfunction (BBD).

Risk of acute kidney injury after lower urinary tract reconstruction with early NSAID therapy: A propensity matched retrospective analysis.

The opioid epidemic response led to increased use of postoperative, non-opioid analgesia. Some pediatric urologists do not routinely use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for fear of causing acute kidney injury (AKI).

Urology HEIRS: A Feasibility and Acceptability Study for Video-Based Research on Physician-Family Communication in Pediatric Urology Visits.

Patient- and family-centered communication is essential to healthcare equity. However, less is known about how urologists implement evidence-based communication and dynamics involved in caring for diverse pediatric patients and caregivers.

Parental Decision Regret After Pediatric Urologic Surgeries Compared to Decisions of Everyday Life - Beyond the Abstract

We wished to evaluate the levels of decisional regret reported by parents after their children underwent several different urologic surgeries. It turned out that parental decisional regret after surgery was very low and no parent would have made a different choice (that is, no one would not have chosen surgery).

Pediatric Urology Providers' Perceptions and Attitudes on Transitional Urologic Care in a Single-Payer Healthcare System.

Advances in healthcare have improved outcomes for pediatric patients with congenital neuro-urological conditions, highlighting the need for an effective transition from pediatric to adult care. This study investigates Canada's transitional urologic care within its single-payer healthcare system, focusing on the active members of Pediatric Urologists of Canada's (PUC) practices, perceptions, and attitudes towards transitional urologic care.

Comparison of maximum voided volume and maximum bladder capacity in voiding diary, uroflowmetry and cystometrography in children with non-neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.

Maximum voided volumes (MVV) and maximum bladder capacities (MBC) are important parameters in the evaluation of lower urinary tract functions in children. However, consistency of MVV and MBC measurements between voiding diary (VD), uroflowmetry (UF) and cystometrography (CMG) in children with non-neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) has not been addressed specifically.

Palliative Care for Pediatric Urology - Beyond the Abstract

As defined by the World Health Organization, palliative care is a medical specialty that aims to improve the quality of life of any patient, regardless of age, and their families who face life-threatening illness by relieving any form of suffering. Palliative care in urology has predominantly centered around adult patients grappling with oncologic conditions, but its utilization has been limited.

European Association of Urology/European Society for Paediatric Urology Guidelines on Paediatric Urology: Summary of the 2024 Updates.

We present an overview of the 2024 updates for the European Association of Urology (EAU)/European Society for Paediatric Urology (ESPU) guidelines on paediatric urology to offer evidence-based standards for perioperative management, minimally invasive surgery (MIS), hydrocele, congenital lower urinary tract obstruction (CLUTO), trauma/emergencies, and fertility preservation.

Palliative Care for Pediatric Urology.

Palliative care in the field of urology has largely been limited to adult oncologic conditions. Although there is a plethora of established literature suggesting the advantageous impact of palliative care, there is limited integration of palliative care in adult urology.
