Development of a risk prediction model for dialysis access steal syndrome: exploring the interaction and modifying role of BMI.
BACKGROUND: Dialysis access steal syndrome (DASS) is a severe complication of vascular access surgery. This study aimed to identify key risk factors and develop an interpretable prediction model for e...
Extended versus standard lymph node dissection for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder in people undergoing radical cystectomy.
RATIONALE: We are currently uncertain of the benefits and harms of standard pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) compared to extended PLND in the treatment of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. OBJE...
Detrimental effect of delayed or incomplete BCG protocols administration after trans-urethral tumor resection in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: a systematic review.
INTRODUCTION: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy remains the standard treatment for high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). While the European Association of Urology (EAU)...
Real-world comparison of the effectiveness and safety of immune-based combinations in elderly patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (ARON-1 study).
BACKGROUND: Nowadays, systemic treatment with immune-based combinations for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is the gold standard. However, the benefit of these treatments in patients aged "...
Real-world multicenter adherence to international guidelines in the management of upper tract urothelial carcinoma: insights from the ROBUUST 2.0 Registry.
BACKGROUND: The European Association of Urology (EAU), American Urological Association (AUA) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines (GL) represent key international standards for ...
Evolution of survival outcomes in robot-assisted radical cystectomy over 20 years of experience in a high-volume tertiary robotic center.
BACKGROUND: Radical cystectomy (RC) is the gold standard for muscle-invasive and recurrent high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (BCa). Over time, robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has g...
Atherogenic Index of Plasma Predicts the Onset and Progression of Cardio-Renal-Metabolic Multimorbidity: Evidence From a Nationwide Prospective Cohort Study.
BACKGROUND: Cardio-renal-metabolic (CRM) multimorbidity, defined by the co-occurrence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and type 2 diabetes (T2DM), poses a growing burden ...
All-Hazards Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment of Canadian Kidney Care Systems: Protocol for a Qualitative Study.
BACKGROUND: Health and health care systems are progressively challenged by more frequent natural and human-caused hazards. A hazard becomes a disaster when vulnerability and exposure interact in compl...
Expression levels of miRNA 22-5p and miRNA 337-5p in bladder cancer.
Background and objectives MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and play critical roles in tumour development and progr...
