Introduction: The reasons for performing a circumcision among males after the neonatal period are usually cultural or medical. We aimed to evaluate parental regret for providing consent and to identify factors associated with such regret.

Methods: Included were the parents of males aged 6 months to 18 years who underwent circumcision under general anesthesia at a single center between 2/2017 and 01/2023. Those who underwent additional surgical procedures during the same session were excluded. Parents responded telephonically to the Decision Regret Scale (DRS) questionnaire. Regret was classified as none (0 points), mild (1-25) or moderate-to-strong (26-100). Surgical and demographic data were retrieved for comparison to DRS scores and identification of predictors of parental regret.

Results: In total, 201 of the 265 suitable patients met the inclusion criteria. Parents of 130 patients (65% response rate) whose average age was 5.06 (IQR 1.58,7.53) years completed the DRS questionnaire (study group). The average time since surgery was 41.8 (IQR 25.4,59.3) months. Forty surgeries were undertaken for cultural reasons and 90 for medical considerations. Eighteen parents reported regret (15 mild and 3 moderate-to-strong) for their decision to consent to their son's circumcision. The time from responding since surgery was the only significant variable in the DRS scores, with a 33-month gap predicting no regret (p = 0.02 compared to shorter gaps). The reasons for circumcision did not significantly differ between the "regret" and "no-regret" groups (p = 0.23).

Discussion: Our current investigation revealed a lower incidence of parental regret when compared to previous reports following distal hypospadias repair, likely attributable to the lower complication rate associated with circumcision. Our data reflect the experience of a single center in a country where neonatal male circumcision is routinely performed for cultural and religious reasons, thus precluding the generalization of our findings to places where post-natal circumcision is less commonplace.

Conclusion: Consent to their son's post-neonatal circumcision was regretted by 13.8% of parents. Time since surgery significantly influenced the reduction of their negative attitudes.

导言:对新生儿期后的男性实施包皮环切术的原因通常是文化或医学方面的。我们的目的是评估父母对同意进行包皮环切术的后悔程度,并确定与这种后悔相关的因素:研究对象包括 2017 年 2 月 2 日至 2023 年 1 月 1 日期间在一个中心接受全身麻醉下包皮环切术的 6 个月至 18 岁男性的父母。不包括在同一疗程中接受其他外科手术的患者。家长通过电话回答了决定后悔量表(DRS)问卷。后悔程度分为无(0 分)、轻度(1-25 分)或中度至重度(26-100 分)。我们还检索了手术和人口统计学数据,以便与 DRS 评分进行比较,并确定父母后悔的预测因素:在 265 位合适的患者中,共有 201 位符合纳入标准。平均年龄为 5.06(IQR 1.58,7.53)岁的 130 名患者(回复率为 65%)的父母填写了 DRS 问卷(研究组)。平均手术时间为 41.8 个月 (IQR 25.4,59.3) 。40 例手术是出于文化原因,90 例是出于医疗考虑。有 18 位家长对同意儿子接受包皮环切手术的决定表示后悔(15 位轻度后悔,3 位中度到强烈后悔)。自手术以来作出反应的时间是 DRS 评分中唯一显著的变量,33 个月的间隔预示着不会后悔(与较短的间隔相比,p = 0.02)。包皮环切术的原因在 "后悔 "组和 "不后悔 "组之间没有显著差异(p = 0.23):我们目前的调查显示,与之前的报告相比,远端尿道下裂修复术后家长后悔的发生率较低,这可能是由于包皮环切术的并发症发生率较低。我们的数据反映的是一个国家的一个中心的经验,在这个国家,出于文化和宗教原因,新生儿男性包皮环切术是常规手术,因此我们的研究结果不能推广到那些产后包皮环切术不那么普遍的地方:13.8%的父母对同意其儿子在新生儿期后接受包皮环切手术感到后悔。手术后的时间明显影响了他们消极态度的减少。

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods are increasingly being applied in pediatric urology across a growing number of settings, with more extensive databases and wider interest for use in clinical practice. More than 30 ML models have been published in the pediatric urology literature, but many lack items required by contemporary reporting frameworks to be high quality. For example, most studies lack multi-institution validation, validation over time, and validation within the clinical environment, resulting in a large discrepancy between the number of models developed versus the number of models deployed in a clinical setting, a phenomenon known as the AI chasm. Furthermore, pediatric urology is a unique subspecialty of urology with low frequency conditions and complex phenotypes where clinical management can rely on a lower quality of evidence.

Objective: To establish the AI in PEDiatric UROlogy (AI-PEDURO) collaborative, which will carry out a living scoping review and create an online repository (www.aipeduro.com) for models in the field and facilitate an evidence synthesis of AI models in pediatric urology.

Methods and analysis: The scoping review will follow PRISMA-ScR guidelines. We will include ML models identified through standardized search methods of four databases, hand-search papers, and user-submitted models. Retrieved records will be included if they involve ML algorithms for prediction, classification, or risk stratification for pediatric urology conditions. The results will be tabulated and assessed for trends within the literature. Based on data availability, models will be divided into clinical disease sections (e.g. hydronephrosis, hypospadias, vesicoureteral reflux). A risk assessment will be performed using the APPRAISE-AI tool. The retrieved model cards (brief summary model characteristics in table form) will be uploaded to the online repository for open access to clinicians, patients, and data scientists, and will be linked to the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for each article.

Discussion and conclusion: We hope this living scoping review and online repository will offer a valuable reference for pediatric urologists to assess disease-specific ML models' scope, validity, and credibility to encourage opportunities for collaboration, external validation, clinical testing, and responsible deployment. In addition, the repository may aid in identifying areas in need of further research.

背景:人工智能(AI)和机器学习(ML)方法正越来越多地应用于小儿泌尿外科领域,数据库越来越广泛,临床实践中的应用兴趣也越来越浓厚。小儿泌尿外科文献中已发表了 30 多个 ML 模型,但其中许多模型缺乏当代报告框架所要求的高质量项目。例如,大多数研究缺乏多机构验证、时间验证和临床环境验证,导致开发的模型数量与临床环境中部署的模型数量之间存在巨大差异,这种现象被称为人工智能鸿沟。此外,小儿泌尿外科是泌尿外科的一个独特亚专科,病情发生频率低,表型复杂,临床管理可依赖的证据质量较低:建立儿科泌尿外科人工智能(AI-PEDURO)合作组织,该组织将开展一项活范围审查,并为该领域的模型创建一个在线存储库(www.aipeduro.com),促进儿科泌尿外科人工智能模型的证据综合。方法与分析:范围界定审查将遵循 PRISMA-ScR 指南。我们将纳入通过四个数据库的标准化检索方法确定的 ML 模型、手工检索论文和用户提交的模型。如果检索到的记录涉及小儿泌尿科疾病的预测、分类或风险分层的 ML 算法,则将纳入检索记录。结果将以表格形式列出,并对文献中的趋势进行评估。根据数据可用性,模型将分为临床疾病部分(如肾积水、尿道下裂、膀胱输尿管反流)。将使用 APPRAISE-AI 工具进行风险评估。检索到的模型卡片(以表格形式简要概括模型特征)将上传到在线资料库,供临床医生、患者和数据科学家开放访问,并将链接到每篇文章的数字对象标识符(DOI):我们希望这份活范围综述和在线资料库能为儿科泌尿科医生评估疾病特异性 ML 模型的范围、有效性和可信度提供有价值的参考,从而鼓励合作、外部验证、临床测试和负责任的部署。此外,该资料库还有助于确定需要进一步研究的领域。

Introduction and aims: Congenital bladder anomalies are rare and are a leading cause of end stage renal failure in children. The Wnt signaling pathway, important during embryonic development, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of these conditions through regulation of gene expression, including essential transcription factors. We investigated the expression of four Wnt transcriptional targets, namely, Pygopus 1 (Pygo1), Connexin 43 (Cx43), FRA1 and TCF7L1 in three rare congenital bladder disorders: bladder exstrophy (BE), neurogenic bladder (NGB) and posterior urethral valves (PUV).

Methods: Bladder tissue samples were collected from patients at the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, London, UK, with control (normally-functioning bladder, N = 9), BE (N = 15), NGB (N = 6) and PUV (N = 5). Histological analysis was performed using the van Gieson stain to differentiate smooth muscle (SM) and connective tissue (CT) compartments. An unbiased, automated, semi-quantitative immunofluorescence analysis was performed to measure the labelling intensity of four Wnt-related proteins in tissue from these four groups.

Results and discussion: There was a significant (p < 0.05) increase in the expression of Pygo1 in the smooth muscle of all anomalies examined and also in the connective tissue in PUV compared to control. Cx43 also showed overexpression in the smooth muscle across all conditions; however, there was a reduced expression in NGB and an increase in PUV in connective tissue. TCF7L1 showed a significant decrease in both tissue compartments for NGB, whereas FRA1 expression remained unchanged across all anomalies. We also measured colocalization of Wnt-related proteins. TCF7L1 exhibited increased colocalization with Pygo1 and FRA1 in exstrophy compared to control. These results suggest a complex dysregulation of the Wnt pathway in congenital bladder disorders.

Conclusion: Wnt signaling-related proteins show dysregulation in congenital bladder disorders compared to control tissue. Understanding these mechanisms should help towards non-invasive early diagnosis, drug target discovery and development of treatment strategies for these conditions.

导言和目的:先天性膀胱异常非常罕见,是导致儿童终末期肾衰竭的主要原因之一。Wnt 信号通路在胚胎发育过程中非常重要,它通过调控基因表达(包括重要转录因子)被认为与这些疾病的发病机制有关。我们研究了四种 Wnt 转录靶标(即 Pygopus 1 (Pygo1)、Connexin 43 (Cx43)、FRA1 和 TCF7L1)在三种罕见先天性膀胱疾病(膀胱外萎症(BE)、神经源性膀胱(NGB)和后尿道瓣膜(PUV))中的表达情况:膀胱组织样本取自英国伦敦大奥蒙德街病童医院(Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children)的对照组(功能正常膀胱,9 例)、BE(15 例)、NGB(6 例)和 PUV(5 例)患者。使用 van Gieson 染色法进行组织学分析,以区分平滑肌 (SM) 和结缔组织 (CT) 区。对这四组组织中的四种 Wnt 相关蛋白的标记强度进行了无偏见、自动化、半定量的免疫荧光分析:结果和讨论:四组组织中的四种 Wnt 相关蛋白的标记强度存在明显差异(P与对照组组织相比,先天性膀胱疾病患者体内的 Wnt 信号相关蛋白出现失调。了解这些机制将有助于对先天性膀胱疾病进行无创早期诊断、发现药物靶点并制定治疗策略。

背景:关于儿童尿道下裂手术治疗者的心理健康和与健康相关的生活质量的研究有限,结果也相互矛盾。此外,尿道下裂患者报告结果(PRO)的重要性日益凸显。有必要就这些主题开展更多研究,尤其是针对青少年:我们的目的是比较儿童时期接受尿道下裂手术的 16 岁青少年与健康对比组的心理健康、健康相关生活质量、身体满意度、自尊、阴茎外观和性功能结果:研究对象为在挪威一家医院接受尿道下裂手术的 16 岁青少年。此前还招募了一个年龄匹配的健康青少年对比组。研究使用优势与困难问卷评估心理健康方面的自我报告结果,使用儿科生活质量量表评估与健康相关的生活质量,使用青少年自我感知档案评估身体满意度和自尊,使用儿科阴茎感知评分和未经验证的结构化访谈评估生殖器感知和性功能:共纳入了117名接受尿道下裂手术的青少年和61名健康青少年。两组在心理健康和与健康相关的生活质量方面没有统计学差异。然而,有18名尿道下裂患者(16%)在心理健康结果方面被归类为病例/边缘,而对比组只有2人(3%)(P = 0.01)。在心理健康方面被归类为病例/边缘的患者报告的健康相关生活质量、自尊和生活压力事件均较低。两组患者自我报告的阴茎外观和性功能相当,但尿道下裂近端患者的满意度较低:讨论:尽管本研究的结果总体上是积极的,但一个重要发现是,在心理健康问题方面,曾在童年时期接受尿道下裂手术的青少年中,有较多人被归类为病例或边缘病例。儿童时期接受尿道下裂手术的患者在青春期可能会面临一些挑战,尤其是近端组患者。医护人员的定期监测对于提供必要的支持至关重要。不足之处在于分组规模较小:尽管尿道下裂患者比对比组患者有更多的心理健康问题,但大多数患者都表示心理健康、生活质量和自尊心良好。近端尿道下裂患者对阴茎外观和性功能的满意度较低。不过,由于样本量较小,对这一群体的结论应谨慎对待。在随访中评估自我报告的结果对于识别接受尿道下裂手术并面临心理健康下降风险的青少年非常重要。

简介:现代医学的复杂性促使人们重新评估传统的病人护理模式,以提高安全性和质量:现代医学的复杂性促使我们重新评估传统的病人护理模式,以提高安全性和质量。我们开展了为期一年的小儿泌尿外科医学奖学金试点项目,该项目由泌尿外科和儿科医院医学部共同开发,一名儿科医生同时接受两个专业的研究生培训。这项创新计划旨在增强儿科泌尿外科非手术方面的知识和专业技能。完成研究金培训后,受训儿科医生将担任儿科泌尿科内科医生(MPU),同时兼任儿科和泌尿科医生。与传统的专家会诊模式不同,MPU 成为了泌尿科不可或缺的成员,在加拿大一家三级儿科医院全职工作,并分担儿科泌尿科住院和门诊护理的责任:本研究旨在阐述 MPU 八年来的培训课程、作用、临床成果和教育影响:我们回顾性地分析了临床结果,包括 2021 年至 2023 年期间每年由 MPU、泌尿科医生和执业护士接诊的患者数量。比较了 MPU 社区儿科泌尿科诊所和三级医院儿科泌尿科诊所的候诊时间和患者满意度。在泌尿科轮转期间,儿科住院医师采用李克特量表对作为临床教师的 MPU 进行评分,以此评估其对教育的影响:结果:整合 MPU 后,建立了神经源性膀胱和后尿道瓣膜等专科门诊。重症监护病房的门诊量约占门诊总量的 34.7%。主观反馈强调,住院环境中的 MPU 共同管理提高了护理质量。此外,在社区医疗泌尿科诊所(CUC)中,由 MPU 和儿科泌尿科护士共同管理,患者的等待时间更短,满意度更高(53 ± 36 天和 194 ± 108 天)(P 讨论):我们在小儿泌尿科采用的新型共同管理方法整合了内科和外科的专业知识。然而,该方法存在回顾性设计和单中心设置等局限性。不过,这一框架为其他外科专科提供了一个潜在的模式,为对外科疾病的内科管理感兴趣的学员提供了一个独特的实践机会:内科小儿泌尿科医生作为教育者、住院医生和门诊主任发挥着关键作用,有效地整合了内科和外科的专业知识。MPU 模式有望优化小儿泌尿外科的医疗安全和质量。

Introduction

Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) are structural disorders originating prenatally and present at birth. Affecting 4.2 to 1000 per 10,000 births globally, CAKUT includes conditions like posterior urethral valves, cloacal anomalies, and reflux nephropathy. These anomalies can lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in children, necessitating renal replacement therapy or transplantation.

Objectives

This article aims to provide an updated perspective on pediatric kidney transplantation for children with CAKUT, emphasizing pre-transplant evaluation and management to optimize long-term outcomes.

Methods

A comprehensive urologic evaluation is essential for children with ESKD being considered for kidney transplantation. Key pre-transplant investigations include kidney/bladder ultrasound (US), voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), uroflowmetry, and urodynamics (UDS)/video-urodynamics (VUDS). Non-operative interventions such as pharmacotherapy and clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) are also considered. Surgical interventions, like augmentation cystoplasty or continent catheterizable channels, are evaluated based on individual patient needs.

Results

Kidney/bladder US and VCUG provide essential anatomical information. UDS offers comprehensive functional data, identifying hostile bladders needing pre-transplant optimization. Non-surgical measures like anticholinergics and CIC improve bladder function, while surgical options enhance compliance and capacity. Concurrent interventions during transplantation are feasible but require careful consideration of risks and benefits.

Discussion

Children with CAKUT undergoing kidney transplantation exhibit comparable or better graft survival rates than those without CAKUT. However, those with lower urinary tract obstructions (LUTO) may have poorer long-term outcomes. UDS is crucial for evaluating bladder function pre-transplant, guiding the need for interventions. Long-term monitoring for urinary tract infections (UTIs) and bladder dysfunction is essential.

Conclusion

Optimal outcomes in pediatric kidney transplantation for CAKUT patients require thorough pre-transplant evaluation and management, particularly for those with LUTO. Multidisciplinary approaches ensure careful monitoring and timely interventions, improving graft survival and quality of life for these patients.
导言先天性肾脏和泌尿道畸形(CAKUT)是一种起源于产前并在出生时出现的结构性疾病。全球每 1 万名新生儿中就有 4.2 到 1000 名先天性肾脏和泌尿道畸形患者,其中包括后尿道瓣膜、泄殖腔畸形和反流性肾病等疾病。这些异常可导致儿童慢性肾脏疾病(CKD)或终末期肾脏疾病(ESKD),从而需要进行肾脏替代治疗或移植手术。本文旨在提供有关 CAKUT 儿童肾移植的最新观点,强调移植前评估和管理,以优化长期预后。移植前的主要检查包括肾脏/膀胱超声检查(US)、排尿膀胱尿道造影(VCUG)、尿流率测定和尿动力学检查(UDS)/视频尿动力学检查(VUDS)。此外,还考虑药物治疗和清洁间歇导尿术(CIC)等非手术干预措施。结果肾/膀胱 US 和 VCUG 可提供重要的解剖信息。UDS 可提供全面的功能数据,识别需要移植前优化的敌对膀胱。抗胆碱能药物和 CIC 等非手术措施可改善膀胱功能,而手术方案则可提高顺应性和容量。在移植期间同时进行干预是可行的,但需要仔细考虑风险和益处。讨论接受肾移植的 CAKUT 患儿的移植存活率与无 CAKUT 患儿相当或更高。然而,下尿路梗阻(LUTO)患儿的长期预后可能较差。UDS 对于评估移植前的膀胱功能至关重要,可指导是否需要进行干预。结论小儿肾移植的 CAKUT 患者要想获得最佳预后,需要在移植前进行全面的评估和管理,尤其是那些患有下尿路梗阻的患者。多学科方法可确保仔细监测和及时干预,从而提高这些患者的移植存活率和生活质量。
