Summary

This population-based study will use provincial health administrative data to examine the risk of hospital admission for hydrocelectomy among males who underwent laparoscopic pyeloplasty, compared with males from the general population with similar baseline health characteristics. We will use health administrative data from Ontario, Canada, to identify males who had a laparoscopic pyeloplasty between 2002 and 2024. We will calculate a propensity score based on sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, and health care utilization. We will then match laparoscopic pyeloplasty males to non-pyeloplasty male controls (1:10) based on propensity score, age, and index date. The primary outcome is hospital admission for hydrocelectomy. The secondary outcomes are a hydrocele diagnosis and receipt of a scrotal ultrasound.
