RESUMO

PURPOSE: The AUA recommends postvasectomy semen analysis (PVSA) to verify successful vasectomy. However there remains poor patient compliance. We sought to assess whether mail-in PVSA improves patient compliance across a wide range of practice types. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospective data were collected on all men who received a Fellow PVSA kit between April 2021 and August 2023 in a nationwide cohort. Date of kit activation, practice type, clinic zip code, and date of kit accession/processing at the lab was collected. Compliance rates for each practice area were reported. χ2 tests of independence, logistic regression models, and multivariable logistic analysis were performed to assess the impact of relevant variables. RESULTS: Overall compliance across all practice areas was 69% following an 18-week period of observation (n = 16,105) and 82% (n = 6687) following a 40-week period. Compliance rates were highest and similar for small urology practices (<5 providers), including Veterans Affairs practices, ranging from 76% to 82% at 18 weeks to 85% to 87% at 40 weeks. Large urology practices had slightly lower compliance rates with 66% at 18 weeks to 80% at 40 weeks. The univariable logistic regression model demonstrated that patients in small urology practices have a 63% greater odds of 26-week compliance, on average, compared to those who receive care in large urology practices (odds ratio 1.63, 95% CI 1.48-1.79). CONCLUSIONS: Fellow's mail-in PVSA offers improved PVSA compliance over previously published data. Improved compliance is seen across all practice types. Despite these successes, there is significant room for improvement to achieve 100% compliance.
