And so I think one of the concerns was to really understand the impact of the instrument design. I know we don't get into it that much, deeply on this census, but the impact of those instrumentations on women. And as we see, the women had higher rates of ergonomic injury. Great.
No, just a last minute plug for people to fill out the census this year. It will be open through the end of September. The census opens at the annual meeting every year and it closes on September 30th. We have a new head of statistical services at the AUA, Lex Hessel, who is amazing because she comes to us with a background in survey design.

And so she's been really helpful in terms of getting us to think about how to word questions in a way that will maximize the value of the responses we get. We've also democratized the way that we solicit questions so that there will be an email sent out with a form that people can fill out online if they have ideas for future census questions.

We do keep a rotating schedule of some of the topics that we think should be asked, but we're pretty open-minded and especially for hot topics. Prior authorization was a hot topic this year because our legislative affairs people wanted it. But as you mentioned, locums is another really hot topic that we're interested in.

So we love getting ideas from people from all various specialties and practice settings because I think it's really important for us in the future to have everyone's voice heard on the census, both in terms of the questions that we ask and then, of course, in responding to the census. So that'll be my little plug.

Yeah, so we just asked last year about OAB and stress incontinence. We are learning over time, because I've made all the mistakes you can make, that grouping topics together often makes sense. Hematuria and all of the cancers that come from hematuria have been grouped together. So kidney and Bladder cancer, for example, into one setting, trying to understand uptake of guidelines.

So are people, you know, there was a microhematuria guideline that came out recently. Are people following that? We'd like to know. So, you know, assessing the utility of AUA educational tools. We did ask last year about torsion treatment because we know in pediatric urology, Having patients transferred from long distances with torsion can be very detrimental to the future of their testicle.

So we do have a whole rotating schedule that our AUA staff does a really good job of keeping us on track with that for specifically for clinical topics. And then we do put some business and legislative related stuff in every year. So Maslach burnout inventory is every five years. So that'll next be on in 2026. So keep a lookout for that because that's always an important one. Thank you.
