1/5 📢 𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗧!

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘴? 🤔

1 in 5 acute surgical referrals in the UK are urological 🏥

Yet, 1 in 3 UK doctors lack confidence in assessing these admissions. We are seeing a major disconnect between clinical demand and frontline expertise.

📣 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐇 - #WASHOUT 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐕𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐋

🌍 We are incredibly proud and grateful that our latest flagship study has been featured by media outlets across the globe!

🔍 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬:
🩸 ~25% of patients presenting with emergency haematuria had an underlying cancer

🚨 Mortality rate of almost 10%

🩻 Patients who did not receive investigations or appropriate treatment were 2.5× more likely to die within three months.

⏱️ Investigation within 48h reduced length of stay, readmissions and mortality

⌛️ No investigations or treatment in the first 48 hours increases length of stay by 5.6 days, mortality by 2.6% and readmission risk by 3.6%

🔑 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫:
Visible haematuria should not be ignored. Rapid investigation is key for patients presenting with emergency haematuria with high rates of underlying malignancy.

🔥 𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 -#WASHOUT featured in @Telegraph

🩸WASHOUT is the largest study to date investigating the management of emergency haematuria with 8,500+ patients across >350 hospitals globally

🔍 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝:

🩻 Patients who did not receive investigations or appropriate treatment were 2.5× more likely to die within three months.

🧬 Approximately one quarter of patients were found to have an underlying cancer.

⏰ For patients with underlying cancer, those having investigations within 48 hours received a diagnosis within one day on average, compared with ~3 weeks for those discharged without investigation.

🏥 Lack of investigation is associated with longer hospital stays.

❓𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:
Emergency haematuria is a prevalent urological emergency accounting for at least 15% of all urological emergency admissions in the UK and 10% readmitted within 30 days. Despite this, there are no standardised guidelines for management. 

🔑 Prompt investigation is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
