Pdf Summary

This document includes information about a poster template, image quality, changing the color theme, and printing the poster. It also contains a study titled "Prevalence of Cystoscopy with Hydrodistention following the 2014 American Urologic Association (AUA) Clinical Guidelines on Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS)." The study aims to compare the frequency of cystoscopy with hydrodistention before and after the 2014 AUA IC/BPS clinical guidelines. The study used an interrupted time series design and analyzed data from January 2012 to June 2019 from a clinical database. The results showed a decrease in the prevalence of hydrodistention as a management option for IC/BPS from 2012 to 2014. However, the 2014 AUA IC/BPS guideline did not decrease the frequency of this procedure. The study also compared the prevalence of hydrodistention across specialties and found that urology had a significant decrease in hydrodistention rates prior to the guideline release. After the release of the guidelines, there was no significant change in hydrodistention rates overall, but there was a significant increase in rates among OB/GYN specialists. The document includes figures illustrating the prevalence of hydrodistention by race, payment method, age group, specialty, and hospital type. Finally, it includes a conflict of interest disclosure for the authors of the study.
