Impact of on-hours versus off-hours admission on outcome in pediatric patients with testicular torsion
Testicular torsion is a time-dependent diagnosis, and any delay in treatment could cause testicular loss. Our data suggest that the DoS before admission, rather than the admission time, influences the testicular outcome. The efficient management of emergencies regardless of the time of day is a key factor for the reduced probability that admission timing affects outcomes.
