This project aimed to elicit, refine, and prioritize research ideas from kidney stone stakeholders to develop a patient-centered research agenda for clinical trials.MATERIALS AND METHODSThe Kidney Stone Engagement Core, a group of patients, caregivers, advocates, clinicians, and researchers, executed an iterative process of surveys and focus groups to elicit and refine research themes, which were then translated into research questions. A separate group of patients, caregivers, and clinicians prioritized these questions through parallel modified Delphi and crowd-sourced digital platforms. A research agenda was developed by the Kidney Stone Engagement Core based on the highest rated questions during a hybrid virtual/in-person capstone session.RESULTSA total of 70 individuals (57 patients and caregivers, 13 researchers and clinicians) participated in the elicitation, 20 individuals (15 patients and caregivers, 5 researchers and clinicians) participated in refinement, and an additional 80 individuals (81 patients and caregivers, 9 researchers and clinicians) participated in prioritization. Key novel themes emerged from elicitation and refinement: ureteral stents, genetic evaluation, shared surgical decision-making, key subgroups, cumulative disease burden, genetic evaluation, and psychosocial support. Stakeholders generated 6 proposed trials from these themes focused on surveillance, surgical intervention, and medical prevention.CONCLUSIONSPatients and caregivers valued comparative effectiveness kidney stone research that focused on individualized care, shared decision-making, and improvement of patient-reported experiences. This process provided actionable recommendations for future patient-centered clinical trials within kidney stone disease.","PeriodicalId":501636,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Urology","volume":"5 1","pages":"101097JU0000000000004242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142275257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to review our 11-year experience in patients with germ cell tumors (GCT) who underwent EP-RPLND at a single institution.METHODSAll patients with GCT who underwent EP-RPLND between 2010 to 2021 were reviewed. Surgical, peri-operative, and oncologic outcomes were reported. A logistic regression model was developed to evaluate variables predictive of early discharge. Oncologic outcomes included recurrence free survival (2-year RFS) and recurrence patterns, which were analyzed according to pathology.RESULTSOverall, 237 patients underwent EP-RPLND, of which 72% were in the post-chemotherapy (PC) setting. Median follow-up was 16.7(IQR 3.9-39.6) months. Median size of retroperitoneal disease was 2.8 (1.8-5.4)cm, of which 16 cases were > 10 cm. There were no cases of postoperative ileus or readmission due to small bowel obstruction. Median hospital stay was 2(IQR 1-3) days. From 2020 to 2021, 73% of patients were discharged on POD1 and 89% by POD2. Thirty-one complications occurred, including 4% grade III-IV. In the primary setting, 2-year RFS for seminoma and NSGCT were 0.93 (95% CI 0.84-1.00) and 0.85 (95% CI 0.72-1.00); respectively. In the PC setting, 2-year RFS for seminoma and NSGCT were 0.88 (95% CI 0.74-1.00) and 0.88 (95% CI 0.81-0.95); respectively. Overall, only 7 patients had in-field recurrence.CONCLUSIONSMidline EP-RPLND is safe, associated with rapid gastrointestinal recovery, short hospital stay, and low complication rates. It also demonstrates acceptable oncologic outcomes in the primary and post-chemotherapy settings, with low rates of in-field relapse.","PeriodicalId":501636,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Urology","volume":"46 1","pages":"101097JU0000000000004246"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142233504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subjects were contacted and outcomes assessed at 7, 14, and 35 days after treatment, with clinical follow-up and CT imaging 70 ± 14 days postprocedure. The primary objectives were to assess the safety (hematomas, complications, etc) and effectiveness of BWL (any fragmentation, residual fragments ≤4 mm or ≤2 mm, and completely stone-free rate) as assessed via noncontrast CT-kidneys, ureters, and bladder.RESULTSForty-four patients with a ureteral (43%) or renal (57%) stone were treated across 5 centers. Stone fragmentation occurred in 88% of cases; 70% had fragments ≤ 4 and 51% ≤ 2 mm, while 49% were completely stone free on CT; no serious adverse events were reported. Eighty-six percent of patients received either no analgesic medication at all (50%) or minor analgesia (36%). After determining optimal therapy settings, 36 patients were treated and the effectiveness improved exhibiting fragmentation in 92% (33/36), residual fragments ≤ 4 mm in 75% and 58% with fragments ≤ 2 mm with 58% completely stone free. Effectiveness was less in subjects with lower pole stones with 81% fragmentation, 71% having fragments ≤ 4 mm, 29% with fragments ≤ 2 mm, and 29% completely stone free; of distal ureteral stone patients, 89% were completely stone free.CONCLUSIONSBWL offered safe and effective noninvasive stone therapy requiring little to no anesthesia and was carried out successfully in nonoperative environments.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03811171.","PeriodicalId":501636,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Urology","volume":"41 1","pages":"580-589"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142165936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
