Hierarchical cluster analysis and latent variable mixture modelling was applied to urinary incontinence (UI) and sexual function (SF) recovery scores, and final models chosen based on optimal performance.RESULTSA total of 3956 patients comprised the study cohort. Three distinct UI profiles were identified with prevalence of 49%, 37% and 14% from best to worst recovery, respectively. Four distinct SF profiles were identified with prevalence of 14%, 24%, 42%, and 20%, from best to worst recovery, respectively. The last two SF profiles had similar function scores but differed based on perception of function being bothersome. Limitations include incomplete PRO capture, which may introduce bias.CONCLUSIONSWe identify distinct UI and SF recovery profiles and their prevalence from a large, prospectively maintained registry, potentially improving interpretability of PRO data for decision making.","PeriodicalId":8985,"journal":{"name":"BJU International","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144065919","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}

We also performed a literature review to identify all studies describing PCa AS in patients with SOT.PATIENTS AND METHODSA retrospective study was conducted for patients with SOT (kidney, liver, heart, lung) with a diagnosis of PCa enrolled into AS either before or after SOT. Using prospectively collected information, they were matched with non-SOT AS patients at PCa diagnosis by age, race, prostate-specific antigen, and Gleason Grade Group (GGG). A scoping review was performed in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.RESULTSA total of 32 SOT AS patients were matched with 99 non-SOT AS patients. After matching, there was no significant difference in baseline demographics. 34% were enrolled into AS before SOT. The median time on AS for patients with and without SOT was 4.7 and 4.98 years, respectively (P = 0.87). In all, 53% of patients with SOT and 54.5% those without SOT were still on AS (P = 0.99). In all, 28.1% of patients with and 39.4% without SOT progressed to definitive treatment (P = 0.30), and there were no differences in rates of grade re-classification or GGG at definitive treatment. No systemic disease progression or PCa-specific deaths occurred. In the literature, we identified and reviewed 11 studies and found 99 patients enrolled into AS either before (n = 33) or after (n = 66) SOT. We did not identify a safety signal.CONCLUSIONWe present the largest series of patients with PCa on AS with SOT. In patients with SOT and PCa on AS, a surveillance strategy appears safe and has similar outcomes as those without SOT on AS. Our review found a paucity of AS data in the SOT setting suggesting that further research is warranted.","PeriodicalId":8985,"journal":{"name":"BJU International","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945512","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}

Protocol MRI was performed at 6, 24, 42 and 60 months. Biopsy indications evolved over time. Any Gleason pattern 4 (GP4) represented a clinically significant PCa recurrence (csPCaR). Pathological disease characteristics, csPCaDR, and salvage treatments were compared for MRIv and MRIi disease. Baseline and post-treatment characteristics were compared between MRIv and MRIi csPCaR. Ordinal and binary measures were compared with Mann-Whitney rank-sum test. Categorical testing for differences was performed with chi-square testing.RESULTSOf 665 post-treatment MRIs, 87 (13.1%) and 578 (86.9%) were positive (+ve) and negative (-ve) for csPCaR, respectively. Biopsies were taken in 62 of the 87 +ve MRIs and 179 of the 578 -ve MRIs, with a csPCaDR of 43.5% and 10.6% for +ve and -ve MRI, respectively. Of the 46 csPCaRs, 28 (61%) and 18 (39%) were associated with +ve and -ve MRI, respectively. The median linear length of GP4 for MRIv and MRIi csPCaR was 2.6 and 0.6 mm, respectively (P = 0.08). Four (14%) and eight (44%) MRIv and MRIi csPCaRs were managed with continued active surveillance (P = 0.03).CONCLUSIONThe cost and morbidity of surveillance following PPGCA can be safely reduced by avoiding biopsy in most cases with -ve MRI.","PeriodicalId":8985,"journal":{"name":"BJU International","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945513","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}
