Abandoning testing for asymptomatic microscopic haematuria in Sweden - a long-term follow-up

CONCLUSIONS: Based on open-source registry data, the new restrictive policy was not found to adversely affect the survival of patients with urinary bladder cancer in Sweden. These observations argue against a major negative impact of abandoning further work-up for patients with AMH and may be of use for other countries when revising guidelines. The reduced number of patients undergoing investigation may allow for increased focus and be a relief both for caregivers and the health budget.PMID:37987210 | DOI:10.2340/sju.v58.11142
