Assessment of clinical reasoning competence in urology with the script concordance test: an exploratory study across two sites from different countries.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In prostate cancer (PCa) patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP), the rate of urinary continence (UC) and erectile function (EF) recovery may change significantly depending on the time interval between surgery and patient assessment. This effect, known as conditional survival, has not yet been asses...
