Abstract

Background

The Bosniak classification is a CT classification which stratifies renal cysts based on imaging appearances and therefore associated risk of malignancy. Bosniak IIf cysts are renal which have complex features and therefore require surveillance.

Aims

The aim of this study is to assess the economic and workload burden of diagnosing and following up Bosniak IIf cysts on the urology service in a tertiary hospital in the West of Ireland.

Methods

All patients with a diagnosis of Bosniak IIf renal cysts attending our urology service between 1st of January 2012 and 31st December 2020 were analysed. The following data were collected: number and modality of follow up scans, number of MDT discussions, number and type of outpatient appointments, surgical intervention, and length of follow up. Financial data were provided by the hospital finance department.

Results

One hundred and sixty-two patients were included. Total cost of follow up was €164,056, costing €1,012.7 per patient. Cost of outpatient visits was €77,850. Follow-up length ranged from 1 to 109 months, median follow up time 17.5 months. Overall cost of imaging was €74,518. There were a total of 80 MDT discussions at an overall cost of €11,688.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates that surveillance of patients with Bosniak IIf renal cysts represents a significant burden upon both radiology and urology services. Surveillance for these patients could be streamlined in the future through a number of initiatives such as virtual OPDs and dedicated MDTs.

Vorhofflimmern: Antikoagulation vor Schlaganfall von Vorteil

Erleiden Menschen mit Vorhofflimmern einen ischämischen Schlaganfall, ist dieser weniger schwer, auch sind Infarktgröße und Blutungsrisiko geringer, wenn sie zuvor orale Antikoagulanzien erhalten haben. Die Art der Antikoagulation spielt dabei keine Rolle.

Frühe CLL-Therapie: BTK-Hemmer verlängert EFS und PFS, aber nicht OS

Auch nach sechs Jahren ergibt sich kein Überlebensvorteil einer Therapie mit dem BTK-Hemmer Ibrutinib für Menschen mit frühem CLL-Stadium und erhöhtem Progressionsrisiko. Die Progressionsrate wird mit der Behandlung jedoch um über 80% gesenkt.

Mehr Cholesterin im Essen = höheres Herzinfarktrisiko

Je mehr Cholesterin man täglich über die Nahrung zu sich nimmt, desto höher ist offenbar das Herzinfarktrisiko – das legt eine Studie mit US-Veteranen zumindest für Männer nahe.

Antikoagulation bei Vorhofflimmern: Sind DOAK noch zu toppen?

Gegen Thromboembolien so wirksam wie ein DOAK, bei zugleich geringerem Blutungsrisiko – werden Faktor-XI-Hemmer als neue Antikoagulanzien dieser Erwartung gerecht? Eine aktuell publizierte Vergleichsstudie gibt darüber Aufschluss.
