How can we improve care for men with LUTS and urgency?
1️⃣ Measure symptoms completely and accurately
2️⃣ Identify what matters
3️⃣ Only then can data-driven changes lead to real results. If we don't track it, we can't fix it. 🩺📈 #LUTS #LURN #SOBPD26

Government laws often (always?) come with unintended consequences. The 21st Century Cures Act means patients may learn of their cancer diagnosis via email—before their doctor can explain. But AI offers solutions! Congrats to the team on this work! 🤖👇 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3983…”

Great to see results from the COURAGE RCT. Vibegron improved all outcome measures for men with #BPH and urgency, with no increased risk of retention or hypertension. Thanks to all the patients who participated in this trial during COVID!

"Hip replacement patients thought their doctor should be paid $14,358 for a total hip replacement
and estimated that Medicare was paying out $8,212 for the procedure.
The actual amount that Medicare paid out? A paltry $1,375"
