Background: There is a lack of approved treatments for pediatric patients with overactive bladder (OAB) with inadequate response to anticholinergic therapy. OnabotulinumtoxinA 100U is approved to treat OAB in adults based on data from randomized, pivotal trials.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of onabotulinumtoxinA treatment of OAB in children aged 12-17 years who were not adequately managed with anticholinergics.
Background And Objective: We present an overview of the 2024 updates for the European Association of Urology (EAU)/European Society for Paediatric Urology (ESPU) guidelines on paediatric urology to offer evidence-based standards for perioperative management, minimally invasive surgery (MIS), hydrocele, congenital lower urinary tract obstruction (CLUTO), trauma/emergencies, and fertility preservation.
Methods: A broad literature search was performed for each condition. Recommendations were developed and rated as strong or weak on the basis of the quality of the evidence, the benefit/harm ratio, and potential patient preferences.
Article Synopsis
- The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the medical field, especially in urology, is growing, enabling quicker access to current scientific knowledge which traditionally took years to master.
- In a study comparing the performance of AI tools (ChatGPT 3.5, ChatGPT 4.0, and Bard) against 736 human participants on a urological assessment, ChatGPT 4.0 performed the best, scoring 80 points and ranking near the top 10%.
- Despite showing promising results, the study emphasizes that current AI systems can make mistakes and highlights the need for careful evaluation of their role in medical education and information sharing.
Background And Objective: The prescriptive literature on vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is still limited and thus the level of evidence is generally low. The aim of these guidelines is to provide a practical approach to the treatment of VUR that is based on risk analysis and selective indications for both diagnostic tests and interventions. We provide a 2023 update on the chapter on VUR in children from the European Association of Urology (EAU) and European Society for Paediatric Urology (ESPU) guidelines.
