Abstract

Objective: To assess the readability and comprehensibility of web-based German-language patient education material (PEM) issued by urological associations. Materials and Methods: German PEM available in June 2017 was obtained from the European Association of Urology (EAU), German (DGU), Swiss (SGU) and Austrian (ÖGU) Association of Urology websites. Each educational text was analyzed separately using 4 well-established readability assessment tools: the Amstad Test (AT), G-SMOG (SMOG), Wiener Sachtextformel (WS) and the Lesbarkeitsindex (LIX). Results: The EAU has issued PEM on 8 topics, the DGU 22 and the SGU 5. The ÖGU refers to the PEMs published by the DGU. Calculation of grade levels (SMOG, WS, LIX) showed readability scores of the 7th-14th grades. The easiest readability was found for materials on Nocturia and Urinary Incontinence issued by the EAU. Kidney Cancer and Infertility, issued by the DGU had the hardest readability. The EAU achieved the best median AT score, followed by the SGU, and the DGU. Conclusion: Remarkable differences between readability were found for the PEMs issued by EAU, DGU and SGU. Materials published by the EAU were the easiest to read. Improving the readability of certain PEMs is of crucial importance to meet patient needs and act in the interests of a growing, self-informing German-speaking patient community.

Abstract

Objectives: To compare bipolar and monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in a comparative prospective study at two urology centers. Methods: Of 212 patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia entered prospectively into the study, 111 underwent bipolar and 101 monopolar TURP. Patients were treated in two consecutive series with each surgical method at both centers. Improvement in peak flow rate, postvoid residual, International Prostate Symptom Score, and quality of life score postoperatively and at 3, 12, 24 and 36 months, as well as long-term adverse events were compared. Regarding safety, duration of surgery, postoperative catheterization and hospitalization time, amount of fluid absorption, frequency of transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome, and risk of hemorrhage were evaluated. Results: Patient characteristics of the two series were comparable. The risk of developing TUR syndrome (p = 0.32) and bleeding tendency (p = 0.52) did not differ significantly between groups. Significant differences were seen for duration of surgery and resection speed. All functional parameters improved significantly during follow- up, with no relevant differences between surgical groups. Conclusions: Since no major differences in efficacy and safety were seen between the surgical groups, we feel that the monopolar technique still has a valuable place in TURP. Copyright © 2012 S.
