Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Large, non-specific waiting lists pose significant challenges in healthcare management.
  • Patients referred for prostatism symptoms were evaluated, revealing a high prevalence of serious underlying conditions.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the diagnostic yield and patient engagement from a large, non-specific urology waiting list.
  • To highlight the inefficiencies and risks associated with non-specific referrals for lower urinary tract symptoms.

Summary:

  • Out of 128 patients on a prostatism waiting list, seven were diagnosed with urinary tract cancers.
  • Only two-thirds of patients remained interested in further evaluation, indicating potential loss to follow-up.
  • The study underscores the critical need for precise diagnostic referrals.
