<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> This study aimed to assess patient compliance with a newly established electronic patient-reported outcome measure (ePROM) system after urologic surgery and to identify influencing factors. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Digital surveys were provided to patients undergoing cystectomy, radical or partial nephrectomy, or transurethral resection of bladder tumor via a newly established ePROM system. Participants received a baseline survey preoperatively and several follow-up surveys postoperatively. Multivariable regression analysis was performed to identify factors predicting compliance. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of <i>N</i> = 435 eligible patients, <i>n</i> = 338 completed the baseline survey (78.0%). Patients who did not participate were significantly more likely male (<i>p</i> = 0.004) and older than 70 years (<i>p</i> = 0.005). Overall, 206/337 patients (61.3%) completed the survey at 1-month, 167/312 (53.5%) at 3-month, and 142/276 (51.4%) at 6-month follow-up. Lower baseline quality of life (odds ratio: 2.27; <i>p</i> = 0.004) was a significant predictor for dropout at 1-month follow-up. Low educational level was significantly associated with low compliance at 3- (OR: 1.92; <i>p</i> = 0.01) and 6-month follow-up (OR: 2.88; <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Acceptable compliance rates can be achieved with ePROMs following urologic surgery. Several factors influence compliance and should be considered when setting-up ePROM surveys.

PURPOSE: Post-operative complication rates may vary among racial and/or ethnic groups and have not been previously described in individuals with spina bifida (SB) undergoing urologic surgery. The aim of this study was to compare in-hospital complication frequencies of individuals with SB following urologic surgery by race/ethnicity. METHODS: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was used to identify pediatric patients with SB who underwent inpatient urologic procedures. A pediatric cohort (<18 years old) with SB that underwent urologic surgery were assessed. All analyses report weighted descriptive statistics, outcomes, and race/ethnicity was the primary predictor variable. The primary outcome of interest was post-operative complications which were defined using NSQIP ICD-9 code definitions. Secondary analysis included length of stay (LOS), and encounter cost was estimated using the cost-to-charge ratio files provided by the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. RESULTS: The unadjusted model showed no differences in complications, LOS, and cost. In the adjusted model there were no differences in complications, LOS, and cost between Black and White encounters. However, Hispanic ethnicity was associated with a 20%(95%CI: 4–40%) increase in LOS and 18%(95%CI: 2–35%, p = 0.02) increase in cost compared to White encounters. CONCLUSION: There was no evidence of variation for in-hospital complication rates among racial/ethnic groups undergoing urologic surgery. Hispanic ethnicity was associated with higher costs and longer LOS in pediatric SB encounters.
