Nearly 90% overall respondents felt that a full 2-year paediatric fellowship program was very important and 94% endorsed a collaborative dedicated paediatric urology on call service, with 92% supporting the joint development of transitional care. Urology managed higher numbers of bedwetting (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04), bladder bowel dysfunction (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.02), endourological procedures (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04), and robotics (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04). Paediatric general surgery managed higher numbers of laparoscopic reconstruction (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03), and posterior urethral valve ablation (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study represents the first time that a cross-sectional cohort of paediatric urologists from different training backgrounds were compared to assess their productivity, practice patterns and attitudes. Paediatric urology is in a unique position to have two contributing specialities, with the ability to provide optimal transitional and lifelong care. We believe that there should be a strong emphasis on collaboration and to remove any historically-created barriers under policies of equity, diversity and inclusivity.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00345-023-04743-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,13]],"date-time":"2024-01-13T11:02:16Z","timestamp":1705143736000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Pathways to paediatric urology subspecialisation: a study of casemix, incumbent attitudes and opinions"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4992-7689","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"F.","family":"O\u2019Kelly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L.
