Prevalence, Incidence, and Age at Diagnosis of Boys With Hypospadias: A Nationwide Population-Based Epidemiological Study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic prevalence, incidence, diagnostic age, and surgical volume of hypospadias in Denmark.

Materials And Methods: Males with a hypospadias diagnosis in the Danish National Patient Registry (n = 10,276) were identified (1977-2019). A diagnostic algorithm, validated by medical file review (n = 1710), confirmed diagnoses and severity (distal/proximal).

Acquired hypothyroidism is the most common thyroid disease in paediatric patients and in iodine-replete areas mainly due to autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT). Symptoms of hypothyroidism are unspecific and insidious for which reason thyroid function tests are often part of a general paediatric assessment. Consequently, only few patients present with pronounced symptoms which include a stunted growth pattern and multiorgan involvement when most extreme.

Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is the most common form of acquired hypothyroidism in paediatric patients in iodine-replete populations. AIT is characterised by a gradual autoimmune destruction of the thyroid gland. The diagnosis is verified by the presence of thyroid autoantibodies.

Referral patterns, clinical features and management of uncorrected hypospadias in a series of adult men.

Background: Hypospadias surgery undertaken in early life often continues to impose challenges as patients age. Little is known about the natural history of uncorrected hypospadias persisting into adulthood.

Objective: To describe presenting symptoms and management strategies in men with uncorrected hypospadias referred to our national tertiary transitional clinic for congenital urological conditions.
