DOI: 10.1177/07334648221093050
Abstract: During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a shortage of SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests, and testing patients with mild symptoms (low-threshold testing) was not recommended in the Netherlands. Despite these guidelines, to protect… read more here.

Data Gap in Sacral Neuromodulation Documentation: Call to Improve Documentation Protocols
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Neurourology Journal"
DOI: 10.5213/inj.2244084.042
Abstract: Purpose We quantified patient record documentation of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) threshold testing and programming parameters at our institution to identify opportunities to improve therapy outcomes and future SNM technologies. Methods A retrospective review was conducted… read more here.
