Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate how patients identify a quality urologist in primary health care and how they determine and evaluate their provider's qualities before their first examination.
Patients And Methods: A specific questionnaire (The ESUO Questionnaire) was prepared to describe the domains that influence the patient's evaluation and summarize the urologist related characteristics and behaviours that the patients estimate are more important. A total of 335 patients, over 18 years of age, presented in primary healthcare urology practice, completed the survey.
Purpose: Current clinical guidelines recommend cystoscopy in patients who present with hematuria to rule out a bladder tumor. We evaluated whether our previously developed urine assay was able to triage patients with hematuria for cystoscopy in a large prospective cohort.
Materials And Methods: A urine sample was collected before cystoscopy and mutation/methylation status of 6 genes was determined on cellular DNA.
