Canadian urologist artoon6/22/2023 Our long-term vision is to become an essential destination for urology-based research, education, and advocacy for both physicians and patients, and to act as a springboard for discussions within the urologic community. ![]() We take pride in showcasing the work of some of Canada’s top investigators and providing our readers with the latest relevant evidence-based research, and on being the primary repository for major guidelines and other important practice recommendations. By significantly shortening the time to article availability, we offer our readers more flexibility in the way they engage with our content: as a continuous stream, or in a monthly “package,” or both.ĬUAJ covers a broad range of urological topics - oncology, pediatrics, transplantation, endourology, female urology, infertility, and more. In 2017, the journal launched an ahead-of-print publishing strategy, in which accepted manuscripts are published electronically on our website and cited on PubMed ahead of their official issue-based publication date. As of 2013, articles have been published monthly, alternating between print and online-only versions (print issues are available in February, April, June, August, October, and December online-only issues are produced in January, March, May, July, September, and November). In 2008, CUAJ became a bimonthly publication. The wide variance in investigations and treatments confirms the need for practice management guidelines.Published by the Canadian Urological Association, the Canadian Urological Association Journal (CUAJ) released its first issue in March 2007, and was published four times that year under the guidance of founding editor (Editor Emeritus as of 2012), Dr. This prospective audit indicates that prostatitis might not be as common as frequently believed and that interstitial cystitis is more common, and it represents the first estimate of the prevalence of epididymitis in urologic practice. There was wide variance in investigations and treatments. Prostatitis was identified in 2.7% of the men (n = 166 mean age 50 years mean duration 3.1 years mean CPSI score 19.7), interstitial cystitis in 2.8% of patients (n = 242 211 women, 26 men mean age 50.2 years, mean duration 4.5 years, mean OSSI score 11.8), and epididymitis in 0.9% of men (n = 57 mean age 41.1 years, mean duration 2.5 years, mean CESI score 15.5). Of the 8712 patients seen in outpatient practice (average 182 per urologist), 2675 were female and 6037 male. Fifty-seven (88%) agreed, and 48 (74%) completed the audit. Sixty-five urologists were invited to participate. ![]() Each day the participant urologist completed an outpatient log and a detailed programmed chart review to transcribe demographics, investigations, and treatments associated with each PIE patient. ![]() Each patient identified with a PIE diagnosis during a typical 2-consecutive-week period during April 2004 to July 2004 was requested to complete a corresponding Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (CPSI), O'Leary-Sant Symptom Index (OSSI), or a Chronic Epididymitis Symptom Index (CESI). Representative urologists were randomly selected from the Canadian and Quebec Urological Associations. To determine the prevalence, diagnostic patterns, and management of prostatitis, interstitial cystitis, and epididymitis (PIE) in Canadian urology outpatient practice.
