What else did we find ⁉️

1⃣ Patient age 👨‍🦱
2⃣ Use of Point-of-Care Ultrasound #POCUS
3⃣ Ultrasound user 👩‍⚕️

Did NOT lead to significant reduction in diagnostic accuracy 🌟

What were our study selection criteria ⁉️

1⃣ All patients receive an appropriate reference standard - scrotal exploration or follow-up
2⃣ Study must provide rates of true/false positives + negatives
3⃣ No restrictions on ultrasound technology, user, patient age, language, etc.

Emergency haematuria: a common urological emergency with no standardised management. 

Our systematic review @bjuicompass.bsky.social explores current management strategies and outcomes in patients admitted with haematuria.

What did we find? A lack of data and a need for better guidelines. 🏥👇🧵
