The 10-year priapism experience: identifying clearer targets for intervention

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a paucity of data on the clinical experience of priapism. Moreover, little work has explored differences in practice patterns between urologists and emergency medicine (EM) physicians. Our primary objective was to understand the priapism patient population and identify targets that may guide clinical translational efforts.

Methods

A retrospective chart review was performed on two priapism datasets from June 2008–July 2018—one focused on patients managed by urology and another on patients managed exclusively by EM physicians. Primary areas of interest included the duration of priapism and acute interventions during the consultation. Time to presentation, prior interventions and evaluation was also documented.

Results

Over the course of 10 years
