American Urological Association (AUA) Guideline DIAGNOSIS, EVALUATION and FOLLOW-UP OF ASYMPTOMATIC MICROHEMATURIA (AMH) IN ADULTS: AUA GUIDELINE
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods: A systematic review of the literature using the MEDLINE database (search dates January 1980 – November 2011) was conducted to identify peerreviewed publications relevant to the diagnosis, evaluation, and follow-up of asymptomatic microhematuria in adults. The review yielded an evidence base of 192 articles after application of inclusion/exclusion criteria. These publications were used to create the majority of the clinical framework. When sufficient evidence existed, the body of evidence for a particular treatment was assigned a strength rating of A (high), B (moderate), or C (low) and evidence-based statements of Standard, Recommendation, or Option were developed. Additional information is provided as Clinical Principles and Expert Opinion when insufficient evidence existed. See text and algorithm for definitions and detailed diagnostic, evaluation, and follow-up information.
