About this trial
This study will examine the work status of all adult patients admitted over a 6-month period to the University Hospital in Kraków, Poland, for treatment of urological diseases. All admitted patients will be surveyed about their job situation. Patients who are occupationally active and undergoing major oncological surgeries (such as radical cystectomy, prostatectomy, or nephrectomy) or procedures for urinary tract stones will also complete a quality-of-life questionnaire and be followed up by phone at 3 and 6 months. The goal is to learn how treatment affects patients' ability to return to work and their well-being, to help guide support and rehabilitation strategies.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adult patients (≥18 years) admitted to the Department of Urology and Oncological Urology, University Hospital in Kraków, during the 6-month study period.
Occupationally active (employed) at baseline.
Undergoing major uro-oncological surgery (e.g., radical cystectomy, radical prostatectomy, nephrectomy) or a procedure for urinary tract stones (e.g., ureterorenoscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy).
Able and willing to provide written informed consent.
Disqualifiers
Patients unwilling or unable to provide informed consent.
Patients who are unemployed or retired at baseline (excluded from the prospective follow-up cohort but included in the baseline cross-sectional survey).
Patients not undergoing major uro-oncological surgery or urinary tract stone procedures (for the prospective follow-up cohort).
Trial population
Consecutive adult patients admitted over a 6-month period to the Department of Urology and Oncological Urology at the University Hospital in Kraków, an academic tertiary care center in Poland. As this is a uro-oncological department, patients with urological cancers are likely to be overrepresented. The population includes individuals hospitalized for a range of urological diseases, with a subset of occupationally active patients undergoing major uro-oncological surgeries or procedures for urinary tract stones. Participants represent a typical tertiary referral population treated for both malignant and benign urological conditions.
