US patterns of care for urodynamic evaluation for BPH

Introduction Practice patterns around the use of urodynamic evaluation (UDS) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery are largely undefined. As such, we investigated factors associated with the use of UDS for BPH. Methods We used American Board of Urology case log data from 2008 to 2020, to co...

Description
Summary:Introduction Practice patterns around the use of urodynamic evaluation (UDS) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery are largely undefined. As such, we investigated factors associated with the use of UDS for BPH. Methods We used American Board of Urology case log data from 2008 to 2020, to compare patient‐ and surgeon‐sided factors associated with UDS utilization and BPH surgeries. We performed logistic regression models to identify factors independently associated with UDS usage for BPH. Results Among urologists performing UDS, the majority (80%) self‐identified as general urologists and practiced in a private practice group (69%). Compared with urologists who performed no UDS, urologists who performed any UDS for BPH were more likely to be from the Mid‐Atlantic (20.3% vs. 10.6%, p 1 000 000 (34.7% vs. 28.5%, p
