The purpose of this study was estimation the cumulative incidence and lifetime prevalence urolithiasis in Korea.We used a National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) sample cohort dataset that included approximately 1 million individuals from Korea. Data January 2002 to December 2013 were collected. We calculated annual prevalence, recurrence rate, estimate urolithiasis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identify risk factors associated with urolithiasis.There 57,921 diagnosed cases...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with cognitive dysfunction.Using National Health Insurance Service database entire Korean adult prostate cancer population (n=236,391), data on ADT and dysfunction between 2008 2015 were analyzed. We excluded patients previously diagnosed dysfunction, dementia, or a cerebral event history. tested effect risk using propensity score-matched Cox proportional hazards regression models Kaplan-Meier...

To evaluate the effects of 50 mg mirabegron once daily for ureteric stent-related discomfort after ureteroscopic procedures by conducting a multicentre randomized study.A total 100 patients with indwelling stents stone removal or retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) were 1:1 to receive either no treatment during stenting period. At time stent removal, validated Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire (USSQ), International Prostate Score (IPSS), amount analgesics administered, and post-voiding...

Purpose: To establish a prospective, comprehensive, multidisciplinary, bio-bank linked genitourinary cancer cohort based on standard real practice. Materials and Methods:We established the Seoul National University Prospectively Enrolled Registry for Genitourinary Cancer (SUPER-GUC), prospective clinical database bio-specimen repository system prostate (SUPER-PC), renal cell carcinoma (SUPER-RCC), urothelial (SUPER-UC) at high-volume, tertiary institution.Each consists of several sub-cohorts...
Special considerations should be made when selecting medications for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in older patients especially those over 65 years old. This review summarizes relationship between current treatments LUTS and cognitive impairment. Although recently reported association dementia tamsulosin is debatable, effects α-blockers pharmacokinetics are not this context. Five-alpha reductase inhibitors appear to affect mood. However, development impairment...
To analyze the presentation of mumps and orchitis using National Health Insurance Service Database (NHISD).Using information from NHISD representing all cases in Korea, data regarding were analyzed. The International Classification Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification codes used for diagnosis. incidence estimates number analyzed Statistical Analysis System (SAS) software.Based on NHISD, 199,186 people diagnosed with mumps, males accounted 62.3% cases. Teen 69,870 cases, largest...
Although the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination covers most children against mumps in Korea, development of has been reported. However, clinical manifestations orchitis postpubertal vaccinated patients have never investigated.

To evaluate the rate of pyuria and bacteriuria after transurethral resection bladder tumor (TURBT).We retrospectively evaluated data obtained from 363 patients who underwent TURBT between October 2012 December 2013 at Seoul National University Hospital. Urinalysis urine culture were assessed 3, 6, 12, 24 months postoperatively. Primary endpoint was (≥105/mL in a midstream) (white blood cells ≥5/high-power field).We analyzed 306 eligible for study.

Patients received either combination therapy (silodosin 8 mg + 5 mg) or monotherapy (solifenacin 12 weeks. Baseline follow-up assessments included symptom score (OABSS), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality life (QoL), maximum flow rate (Qmax), voided volume (VV), postvoid...
Bladder cancers have high recurrence rates and are usually removed via transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Recently, some reports showed that the anesthetic method may affect cancers. The purpose this population-based study was to compare effect methods with in South Korea.
