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.
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.
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.
The COVID-19 pandemic has seriously disrupted the day-to-day running of hospitals, affecting the activity of all medical and surgical departments. It has also affected urology residents, depriving them of training at their usual workplaces and forcing them to support COVID units. This has implied not only the loss of daily activities, but also the uncertainty of job opportunities for the final year residents.
