Purpose: To evaluate overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in patients undergoing diagnostic cystoscopy. Overall changes in the entire study population were assessed, as well as broken down by various subgroups.
Methods: A prospective multi-center study among consecutive 450 adults undergoing diagnostic cystoscopy was conducted.
Purpose: To prospectively assess anxiety and depression in patients undergoing diagnostic cystoscopy.
Methods: Patients presenting for outpatient diagnostic cystoscopy were recruited from four European urological departments. Anxiety and depression were assessed with the 'Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale' (HADS) before cystoscopy and after 1 week.
Background: The aim of this study was to prospectively assess women's pain during rigid and flexible diagnostic cystoscopy and afterwards during a one-week follow-up.
Methods: Prospective, multi-institutional trial analyzing numeric rating scales (NRS) of women undergoing diagnostic cystoscopy. Pain categories: no (0 points), mild (1-3), moderate (4-6) and severe pain (7-10).
Objective: To evaluate pain perception in men undergoing flexible or rigid diagnostic cystoscopy.
Methods: This is a prospective multi-institutional analysis of men undergoing cystoscopy in 4 European departments of urology. Pain perception was assessed with an 11-point numeric rating scale.
Objective: A potential strategy to decrease the high complication rate of radical cystectomy (RC) in the elderly is to avoid the use of bowel for urinary diversion. The aim of this study was to address this issue in a multicentre study of patients aged ≥ 75 years.
Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective, multicentre study of a consecutive series of patients aged ≥ 75 years who underwent RC for muscle-invasive bladder cancer between 2006 and 2010.
