We examined data on a cohort of patients with primary nonrefluxing megaureter to determine risk factors for febrile urinary tract infection, indications surgery and time resolution.The records younger than 24 months were prospectively captured from 2008 2015. Six priori defined variables studied, including gender, circumcision status, hydronephrosis SFU (Society Fetal Urology) grade (low--1 2 vs high--3 4), continuous antibiotic prophylaxis use, ureteral dilatation (greater 11 mm)...
As more artificial intelligence (AI) applications are integrated into healthcare, there is an urgent need for standardization and quality-control measures to ensure a safe successful transition of these novel tools clinical practice. We describe the role silent trial, which evaluates AI model on prospective patients in real-time, while end-users (i.e., clinicians) blinded predictions such that they do not influence decision-making. present our experience evaluating previously developed...
We studied the impact of caudal block vs dorsal penile on rate urethrocutaneous fistula and glans dehiscence in children who underwent hypospadias repair.We retrospectively reviewed records 849 consecutive patients tubularized incised plate repair between 2004 2015. A total 331 cases with incomplete medical records, other techniques redo were excluded. The preference for was based anesthesiologist discretion. Age at surgery, meatal location, preoperative testosterone stimulation, type...
Objective To compare the outcomes of pre‐ vs postnatally diagnosed posterior urethral valves (PUV) at two large paediatric centres in North America to ascertain if prenatal diagnosis PUV is associated with better outcomes. Patients and Methods All boys were identified institutions between 2000 2020 (The Hospital for Sick Children [SickKids, SK] Children’s Philadelphia [CHOP]). Baseline characteristics outcome measures compared those postnatally. Main interest included progression chronic...
Exposure to research data and artificial intelligence (AI) model predictions may lead many sources of bias in clinical decision-making evaluation. These include anchoring bias, automation leakage. In this case study, we introduce a new source termed "induced belief revision," which have discovered through our experience developing testing an AI predict obstructive hydronephrosis children based on their renal ultrasounds. After silent trial model, observed unintentional but clinically...
Introduction: Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are essential in medical education and widely used by licensing bodies. They traditionally created with intensive human effort to ensure validity. Recent advances AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), offer the potential streamline this process. This study aimed develop test a GPT-4 model customized instructions for generating MCQs assess urology residents. Methods: A was embedded using guidelines from bodies reference materials...
In vivo residual arterial pedicle length (RAPL) has been proposed as a quality indicator for central vascular ligation (CVL [i.e., RAPL ≤ 10 mm]) in colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. However, its survival association non-routine CVL practice requires clarification. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and reproducibility of measuring alongside oncological associations A prospective cohort at Concord Hospital was conducted on anterior resection (AR) or right hemicolectomy (RH) patients...
