Objective: To test whether the contemporary robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (RNU) is associated with more favorable in-hospital outcomes than historical RNU, relative to same endpoints in open NU (ONU).
Abstract The overall survival (OS) improvement after the advent of several novel systemic therapies, designed for treatment metastatic urothelial carcinoma urinary bladder (mUCUB), is not conclusively studied in either contemporary UCUB patients and/or non‐UCUB patients. Within Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, (2017–2020) historical (2000–2016) therapy‐exposed and, subsequently, were identified. Separate Kaplan–Meier multivariable Cox regression (CRM) analyses first...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to test for the association between paraplegia and perioperative complications as well in-hospital mortality after radical cystectomy (RC) non-metastatic bladder cancer. Methods Perioperative were tabulated in RC patients with or without National Inpatient Sample (2000–2019). Results Of 25,527 patients, 185 (0.7%) paraplegic. Paraplegic younger (≤70 years age; 75 vs. 53%), more frequently female (28 19%), harbored Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥3 (56...
To evaluate the quality information on testicular cancer uploaded YouTube™ videos.YouTube™ videos were searched using "Testicular cancer" as a keyword. The Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool, Misinformation scale, and DISCERN tool used to assess of cancer.According selection criteria, 121 collected for analysis stratified according uploading year (2009-2014 vs 2015-2020). According Tool audio-visual content, overall Understandability score was 60% (interquartile range 45.5-75)...
Abstract Background In incidental prostate cancer (IPCa), elevated other‐cause mortality (OCM) may obviate the need for active treatment. We tested OCM rates in IPCa according to treatment type and grade we hypothesized that is significantly higher not‐actively‐treated patients. Methods Within Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results database (2004−2015), patients were identified. Smoothed cumulative incidence plots as well multivariable competing risks regression models fitted address after...
To investigate the prognostic role of preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) treated radical nephroureterectomy (RNU).We retrospectively analyzed our multi-institutional database to identify 2492 patients. SII was calculated as platelet count × neutrophil/lymphocyte and evaluated at a cutoff 485. Logistic regression analyses were performed association muscle-invasive non-organ-confined (NOC) disease. Cox recurrence-free,...
Objectives To quantify the magnitude of differences between observed overall survival and respective, age‐adjusted Social Security Administration life tables‐derived expectancy in Caucasian, African American, Hispanic/Latino Asian metastatic prostate cancer patients. Furthermore, to test for cancer‐specific mortality other‐cause according race/ethnicity. Methods We relied on 2004–2006 Surveillance, Epidemiology End Results database identify tables were used compute 10‐year comparisons with...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality information on YouTube regarding penile prosthesis. We searched term 'penile prosthesis' recording first 100 video links. Each was analysed by three evaluators through validate Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT), DISCERN criteria for consumer health and a misinformation assessment tool specifically created subject. All videos were viewed 10'011'232 times. Median duration time 5'13″ (IQR = 7'25″-1'58″). Sixty-eight per cent...
The Internet is an important and easily accessible source of information. aim the current study was to investigate quality YouTube videos on cystoscopy establish if they can be used as a reliable information tool for internet users.The search term "cystoscopy" platform first 120 were analyzed. To assess video Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) Audiovisual (A/V) (Understandability Actionability sections), Misinformation score Global Quality Score (GQS) used.Of all videos, 72...
PurposeTo assess the impact of prostate MRI image quality by means Prostate Imaging Quality (PI-QUAL) score, on identification extraprostatic extension disease (EPE), predicted using EPE Grade Score, Likert Scale Score (LSS) and a clinical nomogram (MSKCCn).MethodsWe retrospectively included 105 patients with multiparametric prior to prostatectomy. Two radiologists evaluated PI-QUAL (≥ 4 was considered high quality) in consensus. All cases were also scored Grade, LSS, MSKCCn (dichotomized)....
