Quantifying treatment burden: the patient burden score a study of 758 patients across three clinical urologic scenarios
PA treatment for small renal masses, TMT for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and ureteroscopy for upper ureteral stones provided similar success rates to those of PN, RC, and SWL, but with significantly lower BS. This tool can assist in patient consultation when multiple treatment options are available. The concept of BS can be extended to other fields of medicine.
