Background
Haematuria is one of the most common urological conditions requiring hospital admission, yet current practice remains highly variable across the UK and internationally. Currently there is no consensus on best practice, no high-quality evidence to guide practice and no standardised management pathways. Over 25,000 patients are admitted each year in the UK with haematuria, contributing to at least 15% of all emergency urology admissions. In addition to poor clinical outcomes, inpatients admitted with haematuria have high resource use, long inpatient stays and they often have repeated readmissions.
Aims and Objectives
Primary aims – To define current practices in the management of inpatient haematuria and their outcomes.
Secondary aims – To identify factors associated with adverse outcomes and increased resource usage.
