Attitude towards active surveillance: a cross-sectional survey among patients with uroandrological disorders.

Objectives: We looked at subjective attitude towards active surveillance (AS) as the first option for cancer management in a cohort of patients seeking first medical help for uroandrological disorders prior to a formal discussion with a caregiver.

Design: Cross-sectional observational study.

Setting: Uroandrological outpatient clinic of a European academic centre.

Six Out of Ten Women with Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections Complain of Distressful Sexual Dysfunction - A Case-Control Study.

Uncomplicated recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) are common among reproductive-aged women. We aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of sexual dysfunction (FSD) in a cohort of women with rUTIs and compare their psychometric scores to those of matched controls. Data from 147 rUTIs women and 150 healthy controls were analysed.

Low Birth Weight Is Associated with a Decreased Overall Adult Health Status and Reproductive Capability - Results of a Cross-Sectional Study in Primary Infertile Patients.

Individuals born with low birth weight (LBW) risk cardiometabolic complications later in life. However the impact of LBW on general health status and male reproductive function has been scantly analysed. We investigated the clinical and seminal impact of different birth weights (BW) in white-European men presenting for primary couple's infertility.

Validation of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine guidelines/recommendations in white European men presenting for couple's infertility.

Objective: To retrospectively validate the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) guidelines/recommendations concerning endocrine evaluation in a cohort of white European men presenting for couple's infertility.

Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: Academic reproductive medicine outpatient clinic.

When to Perform Karyotype Analysis in Infertile Men? Validation of the European Association of Urology Guidelines with the Proposal of a New Predictive Model.

Unlabelled: Known genetic alterations play a major role in perturbing male reproductive health. We sought to retrospectively validate the European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines for karyotype analysis (KA) in a homogenous cohort of 1168 White European men presenting for primary couple's infertility (noninterracial infertile couples only) and to develop a novel nomogram capable of predicting karyotype alterations. Overall, 742 (63.

Metabolic syndrome in White-European men presenting for secondary couple's infertility: an investigation of the clinical and reproductive burden.

We aimed to determine the impact of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on reproductive function in men with secondary infertility, a condition that has received relatively little attention from researchers. Complete demographic, clinical, and laboratory data from 167 consecutive secondary infertile men were analyzed. Health-significant comorbidities were scored with the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI; categorised 0 vs 1 vs 2 or higher).

Infertility as a proxy of general male health: results of a cross-sectional survey.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence, and clinical and seminal impact of comorbidities in white European men presenting for couple infertility.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Academic reproductive medicine outpatient clinic.
