To date, no study has assessed the quality of ChatGPT outputs to prostate cancer related questions from both the physician and public perspective while optimizing outputs for patient consumption.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Nine prostate cancer-related questions, identified through Google Trends (Global), were categorized into diagnosis, treatment, and postoperative follow-up. These questions were processed using ChatGPT 3.5, and the responses were recorded. Subsequently, these responses were re-inputted into ChatGPT to create simplified summaries understandable at a sixth-grade level. Readability of both the original ChatGPT responses and the layperson summaries was evaluated using validated readability tools. A survey was conducted among urology providers (urologists and urologists in training) to rate the original ChatGPT responses for accuracy, completeness, and clarity using a 5-point Likert scale. Furthermore, two independent reviewers evaluated the layperson summaries on correctness trifecta: accuracy, completeness, and decision-making sufficiency.

This study aimed to evaluate the contemporary incidence of the US after different types of BPH surgery, to identify associated risk factors and to assess its management. A retrospective analysis was conducted using the PearlDiver™ Mariner database, containing de-identified patient records compiled between 2011 and 2022. Specific International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes were employed to identify population characteristics and outcomes. All the most employed surgical procedures for BPH treatment were considered. Multivariable logistic regression was employed to evaluate factors associated with diagnosis of post-operative US. Among 274,808 patients who underwent BPH surgery, 10,918 developed post-operative US (3.97%) within 12 months. Higher incidence of US was observed following TURP (4.48%), Transurethral Incision of the Prostate (TUIP) (3.67%), Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP) (3.92%), HoLEP/ThuLEP (3.85%), and open Simple Prostatectomy (SP) (3.21%). Lower incidence rates were observed after laparoscopicrobot-assisted SP (1.76%), Aquablation (1.59%), Prostatic Urethral Lift (PUL) (1.07%), Rezum (1.05%), and Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) (0.65%). Multivariable analysis showed that patients undergoing PUL, Rezum, Aquablation, PAE, and PVP were associated with a reduced likelihood of developing US compared to TURP. US required surgical treatment in 18.95% of patients, with direct visual internal urethrotomy (DVIU) and urethroplasty performed in 14.55% and 4.50% of cases, respectively. Urethral dilatation (UD) in an outpatient setting was the primary management in most cases (76.7%). The present analysis from a contemporary large dataset suggests that the incidence of US after BPH surgery is relatively low (<5%) and varies among procedures. Around 94% of US cases following BPH surgery are managed using minimally invasive treatment approaches such as UD and DVIU.","PeriodicalId":20727,"journal":{"name":"Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140877184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One-hundred forty-eight adult males with symptomatic BPH were enrolled and randomized in a 2:1 fashion to Optilume BPH or Sham (100 Optilume BPH; 48 Sham). Long-term measures include International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), peak urinary flow rate (Qmax), Post-Void Residual Urine (PVR), quality of life measures and sexual function. Follow-up beyond one year was limited to those treated with Optilume BPH. At 2 years, 67.5% (56/83 CI 56.3%, 77.4%) of participants in the Optilume BPH arm were symptomatic responders as defined by ≥30% improvement in IPSS without medical or surgical retreatment. IPSS significantly improved from 23.4 ± 5.5 (n = 100) to 11.0 ± 7.0 (n = 74). Qmax improved by 116.8.% (8.9 ± 2.2 (n = 97) to 19.0 ± 16.3 (n = 65)), while PVR showed a slight reduction (83.7 ± 70.3 (n = 99) to 65.9 ± 74.5 (n = 65)).

Factors such as disease stage, PSA values, core involvement at biopsies, Gleason Score (GS), and comprehensive risk score classifications [1, 2] have been reassessed to expand the cohort of patients suitable for AS. Despite this broader eligibility, more than 40% of patients with low-risk disease are treated immediately in the United States (U.S.), leading to an increased number of patients receiving unnecessary treatment [3]. Historically, the implementation of AS within the U.S. has been predominantly associated with academic institutions, with lower adoption rates in community-based urology practices. However, recent trends indicate a substantial and rapid expansion in the utilization of AS across a broader spectrum of healthcare institutions, leading to significant increase of active monitoring among the U.S. population diagnosed with PCa [4, 5].</p><p>Interestingly, the broader eligibility criteria have not only resulted in an increased number of patients choosing AS, but also extended the period during which individuals commit to this management strategy. This paradigm shift has consequently led to a rise in the incidence of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) among patients in AS, a condition that typically emerges around the age of 40 and becomes progressively more common thereafter [6].
