Feedback of data quality measures to study sites is an established procedure in the management of registries. Comparisons of data quality between registries as a whole are missing. We implemented a cross-registry benchmarking of data quality within the field of health services research for six projects. Five (2020) and six (2021) quality indicators were selected from a national recommendation. The calculation of the indicators was adjusted to the registries' specific settings. Nineteen (2020) and 29 results (2021) could be included in the yearly quality report. Seventy-four per cent (2020) and 79% (2021) of the results did not include the threshold in their 95%-confidence-limits. The benchmarking revealed several starting points for a weak-point analysis through a comparison of results with a predefined threshold as well as through comparisons among each other. In the future, a cross-registry benchmarking might be part of services provided through a health services research infrastructure.

Open-source Large Language Models can Generate Labels from Radiology Reports for Training Convolutional Neural Networks.
Acad Radiol
January 2025
Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, German Heart Center Munich, Lazarettstraße 36, 80636 Munich, Germany (K.K.B.).
Rationale And Objectives: Training Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) requires large datasets with labeled data, which can be very labor-intensive to prepare. Radiology reports contain a lot of potentially useful information for such tasks. However, they are often unstructured and cannot be directly used for training.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Tongji Medical College, Union Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430015, China.
Background And Study Aims: Hirschsprung disease (HD) is a complex developmental disease that resulted from impaired proliferation and migration of neural crest cells. Despite the genetic causation of enteric nervous system have been found to be responsible for part of HD cases, the genetic aetiology of most HD patients still needs to be explored.
Patients And Methods: Whole-genome sequencing and subsequent Sanger sequencing validation analysis were performed in 13 HD children and their unaffected parents.
Impact of Robotic Artificial Urinary Sphincter Implantation in Female Patients on Quality of Life and Patient-reported Outcomes.

Department of Urology, University of Rennes, Rennes, France.
Background And Objective: Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is commonly used in France in female patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). However, it has never been assessed using patient-reported outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of robotic AUS implantation using validated questionnaires.

Department of Urology, Moinhos de Vento Hospital, Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Purpose: To compare voiding parameters in women with and without increased postvoid residual (PVR) volume, to correlate these parameters with PVR volume and PVR percentage, and to describe their ability to predict an increased PVR volume.
Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study of urodynamics data prospectively acquired from consecutive symptomatic women over a 5-year period. Patients with spinal cord disorders and with abdominal straining during voiding (abdominal pressure ≥10 cm H2O over baseline at maximum flow rate [Qmax]) were excluded.
