Patient transfer influences the prognosis of pediatric patients operated for testicular torsion: a single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Testicular torsion (TT) remains an emerging issue for pediatric patients. This study's objective was to determine risk factors of TT outcomes in the Chinese pediatric cohort from a single center.

Methods

We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who met the inclusion criteria in our center from 2013 to 2018. Clinical demographics, and TT-related data, including laterality, torsion degree, torsion direction, position to the cavity of tunica vaginalis, enorchia, and outcomes, were reviewed and extracted from medical charts and databases. Statistical analysis was conducted to compare and figure out the risk factors of TT outcomes.

Results

A total of 84 pediatric patients were enrolled in this study. Among these variables, age, duration of symptoms,
