Editorial comment

Antoine, et al performed a retrospective, multivariate analysis of factors affecting odds of undergoing surgery. Predictive variable was hypothesized to be race/ethnicity with covariates study from a hospital network database between 2011 and 2018: age, insurance state, comorbid conditions and type of medical therapy. The outcome of interest was likelihood of undergoing surgical treatment for LUTS/BPH. The authors reviewed the records of over 30,000 patients with a racial breakdown percentage of 80, 9, 4, and 7 respectively (e.g., White, LatinX, Black and other race/ethnicity).
