Tradução para o português An International Continence Society (ICS) report on the terminology for adult neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (ANLUTD).

INTRODUÇÃO: A terminologia para disfunção neurogênica do trato urinário inferior em adultos (DNTUIA) deve ser definida e organizada com base clínica em um relatório de consenso. MÉTODOS: Este relatório foi criado por um Grupo de Trabalho sob o endosso e diretrizes do Standardization Steering Committee (SSC) da International Continence Society (ICS), auxiliado em intervalos por julgadores externos. Todas as definições relevantes para DNTUIA foram atualizadas com base em pesquisas nos últimos 14 anos. Um extenso processo de 18 rodadas de revisão interna e externa foi realizado para examinar exaustivamente cada definição, com tomada de decisão pela opinião coletiva (consenso). RESULTADOS: O Relatório de Terminologia para a DNTUIA, englobando 97 definições (42 novas e oito modificadas), foi desenvolvido. Este relatório é clinicamente baseado nos diagnósticos definidos mais comuns. Clareza e facilidade de uso têm sido os principais objetivos para torná-lo interpretável por profissionais e pessoas em treinamento em todos os diferentes grupos envolvidos não só na disfunção do trato urinário inferior, mas também em muitas outras especialidades médicas. CONCLUSÃO: Baseado no consenso, o Relatório de Terminologia para a DNTUIA foi produzido para auxiliar na pesquisa e na prática clínica.

Impact of COVID-19 on education, health and lifestyle behaviour of Brazilian urology residents

ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on clinical and surgical practice, educational activities, health and lifestyle behavior of Brazilian urology residents. Materials and Methods: A web-based survey was sent to 468 Brazilian urology residents from postgraduate years (PGY) 3 to 5 to collect data on clinical practice and training after 4 months of COVID-19. We also assessed health-related and behavior changes, rate of infection by SARS-CoV-2, deployment to the front line of COVID-19, residents' concerns, and access to personal protective equipment (PPE). Results: Massive reductions in elective and emergency patient consultations, diagnostic procedures and surgeries were reported across the country, affecting PGY 3 to 5 alike. Most in-person educational activities were abolished. The median damage to the urological training expected for 2020 was 6.0 [3.4 - 7.7], on a scale from 0 to 10, with senior residents estimating a greater damage (P< 0.001). Educational interventions developed included online case-based discussions, subspeciality conferences and lectures, and grand rounds. Most senior residents favored extending residency to compensate for training loss and most younger residents favored no additional training (p< 0.001). Modifications in health and lifestyle included weight gain (43.8%), reduced physical activity (68.6%), increased alcoholic intake (44.9%) and cigarette consumption (53.6%), worsening of sexual life (25.2%) and feelings of sadness or depression (48,2%). Almost half were summoned to work on the COVID-19 front-line and 24.4% had COVID-19. Most residents had inadequate training to deal with COVID-19 patients and most reported a shortage of PPE. Residents' concerns included the risk of contaminating family members, being away from residency program, developing severe COVID-19 and overloading colleagues. Conclusions: COVID-19 had a massive impact in Brazilian urology residents´ training, health and lifestyle behavior, which may reflect what happened in other medical specialties. Studies should confirm these findings to help developing strategies to mitigate residents' losses.

Impact of a 1-day urodynamic course on knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes of urology residents.

AIMS: No evidence-informed educational curriculum is available for designing urodynamics (UDS) courses. We evaluated the learning outcomes of a short-lasting urodynamic course for urology residents. METHODS: Urology residents of postgraduate years 4 and 5 (n = 13 and n = 1316, respectively) attended a 1-day urodynamic course. Learning objectives included patient preparation, indication and technique, terminology, trace interpretation, and impact on patient management. Instructional methods consisted of short lectures (3 h) and case-based discussions (7.5 h). Learners' reactions, modifications of perceptions and attitudes, and acquisition of knowledge and skills were assessed by three written tests with a single group, pretest, posttest 1, and posttest 2 design. Tests were conducted precourse, 1 week after, and 4 months after the course. RESULTS: All participants felt more confident in several urodynamic competencies after the course, including patient preparation, urodynamic indication and technique, terminology, trace interpretation, and impact for patient management. These perceptions remained unchanged after 4 months. Most became stricter in the indication of UDS, including 20 (87.0%) at posttest 1 and 8 (66.7%) at posttest 2. The mean number of correct answers in the knowledge evaluation was 52.2% versus 61.4% versus 56.7%, respectively at pretest, posttest 1, and posttest 2; p = 0.535). All participants rated the course as very useful or useful in both posttest evaluations. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates that a 1-day urodynamic course can promote lasting improvements in self-reported perceptions, attitudes, and urodynamic-related competencies of urology residents. Further studies using evidence-informed educational principles are needed to determine the effect of specific educational interventions on urodynamic competencies in different contexts.
