Analyse Des Facteurs de Retard à la Consultation Dans Les Torsions Testiculaires Chez Les Adolescents du Haut-Rhin Entre 2020 et 2025
The objective of this observational study is to identify the factors that influence whether or not an adolescent seeks immediate medical attention upon the onset of symptoms of testicular torsion. The main question it aims to answer is as follows: What factors are associated with a delay in seeking medical care-defined as a time interval of 6 hours or more between the onset of symptoms and the first visit to Colmar Hospital-among adolescents aged 10 to 18 who underwent surgery for testicular torsion? Participation in this study involves completing a questionnaire: the Questionnaire for Assessing Factors Associated with Delay in Seeking Medical Care for Testicular Torsion in Adolescents.
• Patients who underwent surgery for suspected testicular torsion between 2020 and 2025 in the Paediatric Surgery Department of the Hôpitaux Civils de Colmar, following admission via the Paediatric A\&E Department of the same hospital;
• Patients aged between 10 and 17 years at the time of admission;
• Participants who, after being informed, do not object to the use of their data for the purposes of this research;
• Holders of parental authority who, after being informed, do not object to the use of their children's data for the purposes of this research.
