Prevalence of urinary tract cancer in the Spanish cohort of the IDENTIFY study.

Introduction: Malignant tumors of the urinary tract are associated with high morbidity and mortality, and their prevalence can vary worldwide. Recently, the IDENTIFY study has published results on the prevalence of urinary tract cancer at a global level. This study evaluates the prevalence of cancer within the Spanish cohort of the IDENTIFY study to determine whether the published results can be extrapolated to our population.

Impact of a delayed presentation to the emergency department for acute renal colic on biochemical and clinical outcomes.

Introduction And Objective: To verify the impact of delay on biochemical and clinical outcomes for patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with acute renal colic.

Materials And Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from three institutions of two European countries between 01 January and 30 April 2020. Patients who presented to the ED with unilateral or bilateral renal colic caused by urolithiasis confirmed by imaging tests during the study period were included.

Developing a Diagnostic Multivariable Prediction Model for Urinary Tract Cancer in Patients Referred with Haematuria: Results from the IDENTIFY Collaborative Study.

Background: Patient factors associated with urinary tract cancer can be used to risk stratify patients referred with haematuria, prioritising those with a higher risk of cancer for prompt investigation.

Objective: To develop a prediction model for urinary tract cancer in patients referred with haematuria.

Design, Setting, And Participants: A prospective observational study was conducted in 10 282 patients from 110 hospitals across 26 countries, aged ≥16 yr and referred to secondary care with haematuria.

[Use of vascular prostheses in renal transplantation: series of 9 cases.].

Objective: Calcification and atherosclerosis of the iliac arteries is very common in dialysis patients, making sometimes impossible the anastomosis of a kidney graft. The objective of this study is to present our kidney transplantation series using vascular prostheses for iliacartery reconstruction and to assess the results obtained in comparison to other published series.

Material And Method: In a single centre where 1090 kidney transplants were performed between January 2013 and December 2019, patients who required vascular reconstruction were identified for their descriptive analysis.

The IDENTIFY study: the investigation and detection of urological neoplasia in patients referred with suspected urinary tract cancer - a multicentre observational study.

Objective: To evaluate the contemporary prevalence of urinary tract cancer (bladder cancer, upper tract urothelial cancer [UTUC] and renal cancer) in patients referred to secondary care with haematuria, adjusted for established patient risk markers and geographical variation.

Patients And Methods: This was an international multicentre prospective observational study. We included patients aged ≥16 years, referred to secondary care with suspected urinary tract cancer.
