To identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with patterns of aggressiveness of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). From January 2011 to December 2018, 476 patients with NMIBC were prospectively included.
Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) exhibits significant sexual dimorphism in the incidence, etiology, and response to intravesical immunotherapy. Environmental factors such as tobacco use and clinical management issues such as delayed presentation have widely been associated with sex differences in UCB outcomes.
The objective of the study is to test the effect of age on cancer-specific mortality (CSM) in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder (UCUB), across all disease stages. Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry (2004-2016), we identified 207,714 patients.
Implementation of evidence-based infection control practices is the need of the hour for every institute to reduce the device-associated infections, which directly reflects the quality of care. As catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most common nosocomial infection, the study was planned to evaluate the impact of the catheter care bundle in reducing CAUTI […]
To investigate whether apical prolapse in addition to early-stage anterior prolapse has any effect on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Patients with early-stage pelvic organ prolapse (POP) were retrospectively analyzed at the urogynecology unit of a tertiary referral center.
The aim of this study was to develop and validate a mobile application patient decision aid (mPDA) for providing treatment options to women with overactive bladder (OAB). We performed a mixed methods study.
To evaluate risk factors associated with nocturia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Patients aged over 18 years who had been diagnosed with OSAS using polysomnography from January to December 2019 were evaluated.
We evaluated mid urethral sling outcomes in overweight and obese patients compared to normal weight patients and identified risk factors for failure in this population. Records of 688 women between January 2004 and July 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.
Stress urinary incontinence is a common problem affecting women’s quality of life. The retropubic mid-urethral sling accounts for the majority of surgical interventions for stress incontinence. Complications of the procedure are rare.
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common problem in women that affects their quality of life. According to the current evidence, 15%-50% of severe pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgeries lead to de novo urinary incontinence (UI).
