Trends in the Authorship of Peer Reviewed Publications in the Urology Literature
ConclusionsThere is a global trend toward more authors per article in urology publications for original research as well as review articles, and across each of the individual journals evaluated. An increase in author count has also been associated with increased citations and measures of article impact. (Source: Urology Practice)

Prostate Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging Program Implementation and Impact: Initial Clinical Experience in a Community Based Health System
ConclusionsWhile staging information with prostate magnetic resonance imaging was accurate early in the implementation of the program, lesion characterization improved with use of Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System, version 2 criteria and standardized reporting. Regular multidisciplinary participation in community based prostate magnetic resonance imaging programs may maximize clinical impact. (Source: Urology Practice)

Minimizing the Cost of Treating Asymptomatic Ureterolithiasis
ConclusionsThe probability of spontaneous passage of a ureteral stone can be used to optimize treatment strategies for patients. Observation minimizes costs for patients with stones likely to pass spontaneously, whereas ureteroscopy minimizes costs for stones unlikely to pass. For ureteral stones with an intermediate probability of spontaneous passage computerized tomography to guide treatment is associated with the lowest estimated costs. (Source: Urology Practice)

Trends in the Setting and Cost of Ambulatory Urological Surgery: An Analysis of Five States in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project
ConclusionsAmbulatory urological surgery represents 5% of all surgical cases, but 7.6% of costs. The rate of procedures is increasing steadily with performance in ASCs outpaced by those in HOPD. The cost of ambulatory urological surgery is rising out of proportion to explanation by inflation, patient factors, or case-mix. (Source: Urology Practice)

Role of mpMRI PSA Density and PI-RADS Score in Predicting Upstaging in Men on Active Surveillance
ConclusionA combination of PI-RADS score and prostate specific antigen density predicts patients at risk of being upstaged at surveillance biopsy. Conversely, this combination may help determine which men may safely forgo biopsy. (Source: Urology Practice)

Evaluating clinical implementation approaches for prostate cancer decision support
ConclusionsImplementation success was realized when physicians engaged and staff provided follow-up contacts. New practice changes to implement interventions require multi-modal strategies for early success. (Source: Urology Practice)

Genitourinary Prosthetic Use Among Prostate Cancer Survivors Treated with Radical Prostatectomy
ConclusionsOverall, receipt of genitourinary prosthetic surgery for incontinence (1.5%) or erectile dysfunction (1.6%) was rare following radical prostatectomy. However, diabetic and older men demonstrated a greater likelihood of device placement.
