The ability to consistently review abstracts in an unbiased and objective fashion is a skill that most academics hope to master. However, robust standardized rating systems are sparse, with most scientific boards leaving the task of rating abstracts poorly defined and at the whim of the reviewer. In an effort to bring consistency to this process, in 2013, the ESPU board adopted an abstract rating system that has been previously used in the field of plastic surgery and orthopedics. (van der Steen et al., 2004; Poolman et al., 2007). The aim of this manuscript is to outline this practice.

Update and Summary of the European Association of Urology/European Society of Paediatric Urology Paediatric Guidelines on Vesicoureteral Reflux in Children.
Eur Urol
May 2024
Department of Pediatric Urology, Ankara University School of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey.
Background And Objective: The prescriptive literature on vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is still limited and thus the level of evidence is generally low. The aim of these guidelines is to provide a practical approach to the treatment of VUR that is based on risk analysis and selective indications for both diagnostic tests and interventions. We provide a 2023 update on the chapter on VUR in children from the European Association of Urology (EAU) and European Society for Paediatric Urology (ESPU) guidelines.

Introduction: There is no general agreement among paediatric urologists on how infants with spina bifida (SB) should be investigated after birth. Recently the EUA/ESPU guidelines have been published recommending a baseline DMSA scan in the first year of life and a Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) or Videourodynamic (VUD) between the second and third month of life.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of renal investigations in the first year of life in infants with SB to verify if an early DMSA scan is indicated in the management of this group of patients.

The Research Committee of the European Society of Pediatric Urology will present a series of short educational communications related to evidence-based medicine. The aim of the series is to emphasize the importance of grading evidence, thereby determining the best clinical practice for patients. The goal of this series is to guide the clinician in using tools for setting up a clinical question, finding appropriate information, searching appropriate databases, and evaluating the results in relation to the patient in mind.
