Abstract Objective To test and compare the efficacy of methenamine hippurate for prevention recurrent urinary tract infections with current standard prophylaxis daily low dose antibiotics. Design Multicentre, open label, randomised, non-inferiority trial. Setting Eight centres in UK, recruiting from June 2016 to 2018. Participants Women aged ≥18 years infections, requiring prophylactic treatment. Interventions Random assignment (1:1, using permuted blocks variable length via a web based...

BACKGROUND: Recurrence of non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is common after transurethral resection tumor (TURBT). Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) provides better diagnostic accuracy and more complete may reduce recurrence. However, there limited evidence on the longer-term clinical effectiveness cost-effectiveness PDD-guided resection. METHODS: In this pragmatic, open-label, parallel-group randomized trial conducted in 22 U.K. National Health Service hospitals, we recruited...

Abstract Background The diagnosis and surveillance of urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) require cystoscopy. There is a need for biomarkers to reduce the frequency cystoscopy in surveillance; urinary volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis could fulfil this role. This cross-sectional study compared VOC profiles patients with without UBC, investigate metabolomic signatures as biomarkers. Methods Urine samples were collected from haematuria clinic undergoing diagnostic UBC surveillance. Urinary...

Daily, low-dose antibiotic prophylaxis is the current standard care for women with recurrent urinary tract infection. Emerging antimicrobial resistance a global health concern, prompting research interest in non-antibiotic agents such as methenamine hippurate, but comparative data on their efficacy and safety are lacking.

Introduction Bladder cancer is the most frequently occurring tumour of urinary system. Ta, T1 tumours and carcinoma in situ (CIS) are grouped as non-muscle invasive bladder (NMIBC), which can be effectively treated by transurethral resection (TURBT). There limitations to visualisation with conventional TURBT using white light illumination within bladder. Incomplete resections occur from failure identify satellite lesions or full extent leading recurrence potential risk disease progression....

Background Around 7500 people are diagnosed with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in the UK annually. Recurrence following transurethral resection of tumour is common, and intensive monitoring schedule required after initial treatment has associated costs for patients NHS. In photodynamic diagnosis, before tumour, a photosensitiser that preferentially absorbed by cells instilled intravesically. Transurethral then conducted under blue light, causing to fluoresce. Photodynamic...

Objectives: To compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for patients with symptomatic renal stone disease treated by flexible ureterorenoscopy (fURS) and shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) Introduction: Historically, surgical outcomes are measured surgeon-specific such as ‘stone-free rates’. More recently, there is increasing emphasis on PROMs to ascertain a patient’s perspective of their own outcome. Despite this, the literature in reference stone-specific following treatment remains...

ABSTRACT Introduction Predict Prostate is a freely-available online personalised risk communication tool for men newly diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer. Its accuracy has been assessed in multiple validation studies but the clinical impact of on patient decision-making had not previously evaluated. Methods A multi-centre randomised controlled trial was performed across 8 UK centres, wherein considering either active surveillance or radical treatment, were to standard care (SOC)...
