{"doi":"10.1111/bju.15935","title":"Findings from an international survey of urology trainee experience with prostate biopsy","abstract":"OBJECTIVE: To assess urology trainees' exposure to transperineal prostate biopsy (TP-Bx) and intent to use TP-Bx in practice. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A 34-question survey about prostate biopsy was distributed to urology trainees in the United States and Europe. Primary outcomes were exposure to TP-Bx in training and intent to use TP-Bx post training. Exposure to transrectal prostate biopsy (TR-Bx) and magnetic resonance imaging-targeted biopsy (MRI-Bx) was also assessed. Survey answers were compared between groups as categorical variables using Fisher's exact test. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with intent of performing TP-Bx post training. RESULTS: A total of 658 trainees from 19 countries completed the survey. Of these, 313 trainees (48%) reported exposure to TP-Bx, 370 (56%) reported exposure to MRI-Bx, and 572 (87%) reported exposure to TR-Bx. There was significant heterogeneity in TP-Bx exposure among countries (P < 0.001), with the highest prevalence in Italy (72%) and the lowest prevalence in Greece (4%). Intent to perform TP-Bx post training was higher in those exposed to TP-Bx during training (89% vs 58%; P < 0.001) and did not differ between trainees in postgraduate year (PGY) 1-3 vs those in PGY ≥4 (73% vs 72%; P = 0.7). On multivariable regression, exposure to TP-Bx in training was independently associated with increased intent to perform TP-Bx post training (odds ratio 5.09, 95% confidence interval 3.29-8.03; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Fewer than half of 658 surveyed urology trainees reported exposure to TP-Bx, with significant heterogeneity among countries. Greater experience with TP-Bx in training was associated with greater intent to perform TP-Bx post training. A minimum requirement of TP-Bx cases during urological training may increase resident familiarity and adoption of this guideline-endorsed prostate biopsy approach.","journal":"British Journal of Urology","year":2022,"id":259296,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":17,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9186,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2022-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":911485,"name":"Riccardo Campi","orcid":"0000-0001-5237-0888","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":911486,"name":"Diego M.
