Background. Little is known about the role of asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) treatment in young women affected by recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI). We aimed to evaluate impact AB on recurrence rate among UTI. Methods. A total 673 consecutive with demonstrated from January 2005 December 2009 were prospectively enrolled. Patients split into 2 groups: not treated (group A, n = 312) and B, 361). Microbiological clinical evaluations performed at 3, 6, 12 months. Quality life was also...
To evaluate variant histologies (VHs) for disease-specific survival (DSS) in patients with invasive urothelial bladder cancer (BCa) undergoing radical cystectomy (RC).We analysed a multi-institutional cohort of 1082 treated upfront RC cT1-4aN0M0 BCa at eight centres. Univariable and multivariable Cox' regression analyses were used to assess the effect different VHs on DSS overall three stage-based analyses. The stages defined as 'organ-confined' (≤pT2N0), 'locally advanced' (pT3-4N0)...

We evaluated the prevalence and estimated incidence risk factors of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome in urological hospital outpatients Italy.From January to June 2006 patients from 28 Italian centers who were between 25 50 years old with symptoms consecutively enrolled this prospective epidemiological case-control study. A total 152 subjects similar age, race area origin investigated for infertile couples but otherwise healthy served as controls. All provided a medical...
Objectives To determine if a re‐transurethral resection (TUR), in the presence or absence of muscle at first TUR patients with T1‐high grade (HG)/Grade 3 (G3) bladder cancer, makes difference recurrence, progression, cancer specific (CSS) and overall survival (OS). Patients methods In large retrospective multicentre cohort 2451 T1‐HG/G3 initially treated bacille Calmette–Guérin, 935 (38%) had re‐TUR. According to specimen primary TUR, were divided four groups: group 1 (no muscle, no re‐TUR),...
Abstract Background. Women suffering from recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) are routinely treated for asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB), but the consequences of this procedure on antibiotic resistance not fully known. The aim study was to evaluate impact AB treatment among women with rUTIs. Methods. population consisted 2 groups who had previously been enrolled in a randomized clinical trial: group A treated, and B treated. All were scheduled follow-up visits every 6 months, or more...
The public health emergency caused by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in a significant reallocation of resources with consequent reorganization clinical activities also several urological centers. A panel Italian urologists agreed on set recommendations pathways pre-, intra- and post-operative care for patients undergoing urgent procedures or non-deferrable oncological interventions during COVID-19 pandemic. Simplification diagnostic staging pathway to be...
The Global Prevalence of Infections in Urology (GPIU) study is a worldwide-performed point prevalence intended to create surveillance data on antibiotic resistance, type urogenital infections, risk factors and consumption, specifically patients at urological departments with healthcare-associated infections (HAUTI). Investigators registered through web-based application (http://gpiu.esiu.org/). Data collection includes the practice characteristics hospital urology ward. On certain day...
Primary objective was to identify the (1) relationship of clinical severity urosepsis with pathogen spectrum and resistance (2) appropriateness using rates health-care-associated urinary tract infections (HAUTI) as representative urosepsis. The secondary provide an overview pathogens their profile in patients A point prevalence study carried out 70 countries (2003–2013). Population studied included; 408 individuals microbiologically proven urosepsis, 1606 microbiological proof HAUTI 27,542...
