Abstract Objectives To define pre‐morbid, clinical, laboratory, and imaging features and identify prognostic factors associated with morbidity and mortality in patients with Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) and develop a prognostic scoring system for improving management outcomes. Patients and Methods From Jan 2009 to Dec 2019, we performed a prospective study of all patients with a suspected […]

Objective To study how patients with urinary bladder cancer (UBC) with previous or concomitant other primary cancers (OPCs) were treated, and to investigate their prognosis. Patients And Methods Using nationwide population‐based data in the Bladder Cancer Data Base Sweden (BladderBaSe), we analysed the probability of treatment with curative intent, and UBC‐specific and overall survival (OS) […]
Objective To compare directly the performance of the ADXBLADDER test with that of cytology in the detection of non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) recurrences. Background ADXBLADDER is a urine test based on the detection of MCM5, a DNA licensing factor expressed in all cells capable of dividing. Expression is usually restricted to the basal stem cell […]
Objective To assess the effect of surgical experience on peri‐operative, functional and oncological outcomes during the first 50 Retzius‐sparing robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RsRARP) cases performed by surgeons naïve to this novel approach. Materials and Methods We retrospectively evaluated the initial cases operated by 14 surgeons in 12 different international centres. Pre‐, peri‐ and postoperative features […]
Objectives To assess the role of core body temperature in urinary stone formation using a large clinical dataset. Patients and Methods We retrospectively collected 14 519 039 individual temperature measurements from 580 416 patients with medical history, laboratory values and medication history between 2013 and 2018 at a single institution. After exclusions and matching 2:1 (controls:cases) to account […]
Objective To validate models currently used to predict metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) outcomes in a cohort of patients undergoing cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN). Patients and methods A total of 10 RCC prognostic models (International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium [IMDC]; Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center [MSKCC]; Culp; Leibovich; University of California at Los Angeles Integrated Staging […]
Objectives To evaluate the incidence and predictors of hospital readmission and emergency department (ED) visits in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia treated by transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Patients and Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study using a linked administrative dataset from Calgary, Canada. Participants were men who underwent their first TURP procedure […]
