Pediatric Urology
Summary of the European Association of Urology/European Society of paediatric urology guidelines on transition in urology.
- Details
To provide a chapter on transition and the importance of long-term follow-up for congenital conditions in urology to the European Association of Urology (EAU) and European Society for Paediatric Urology (ESPU) Guidelines.
Practice patterns, barriers, and attitudes toward urotherapy for pediatric lower urinary tract symptoms: A societies for pediatric urology survey.
- Details
Pediatric lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common in school-age children. Urotherapy (UT), the first-line treatment involving education on behavioral changes, is typically delivered through in-person 1:1 clinic visits, which can limit access and strain clinic resources.
Navigating the waters of LUTS from childhood to puberty - NOPIA meeting (ICI-RS 2024).
- Details
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are known to significantly affect health-related quality of life, often leading to psychological and social challenges. Despite the prevalence of paediatric and adult LUTS, the needs for, and the process of transition from childhood to adolescence and young adulthood remain both poorly understood or defined, with many patients lacking organized follow-up care.
Disruptive papers - A novel bibliometric tool not yet ready for primetime in pediatric urology.
- Details
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.
- Details
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.
- Details
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.
- Details
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
- Details
Pediatric Urology Providers' Perceptions and Attitudes on Transitional Urologic Care in a Single-Payer Healthcare System.
- Details
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.
- Details
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.
