Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 176 patients compared outcomes of those who received vCUT versus those who did not, assessing urinary continence and sexual function over time using validated questionnaires.
- * Results indicated that 86% of patients with vCUT achieved continence by 3 months post-op compared to 74% without it, but there was no significant difference in sexual function between the two groups by 24 months.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess urinary and sexual function outcomes in men with high-risk prostate cancer after undergoing radical prostatectomy within the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative from 2014 to 2023.
- Results show that 58% of patients were socially continent three months post-surgery, increasing to 86% by twelve months, with better recovery linked to higher baseline urinary function scores and younger age.
- Only 15% of patients regained sexual function by twelve months, with nerve-sparing surgery and lower pre-operative PSA levels positively influencing results, highlighting a need for improved strategies in addressing sexual function post-surgery.
Introduction: Postoperative length of stay (LOS) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a potentially modifiable aspect of prostate cancer care. Our objective was to evaluate the use of same-day discharge (SDD) RARP and compare pre- and perioperative characteristics of these men with those who underwent hospitalization postoperatively.
Methods: Perioperative outcomes for patients undergoing RARP were evaluated from the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MUSIC) registry.
We investigated the design and analysis of observational booster vaccine effectiveness (VE) studies by performing a scoping review of booster VE literature with a focus on study design and analytic choices. We then applied 20 different approaches, including those found in the literature, to a single dataset from Michigan Medicine. We identified 80 studies in our review, including over 150 million observations in total.

However, there exists substantial heterogeneity in study designs and statistical methods for estimating VE. The impact of such heterogeneity on VE estimates is not clear.
