TL;DR: This research presents a novel and scalable approach called “informed consent” that allows for real-time decision-making about whether or not to admit a child to hospital for treatment with a serious medical condition.

TL;DR: Pregnancy outcomes for the complete cohort confirmed initial findings: that prenatal surgery was associated with an increased risk for membrane separation, oligohydramnios, spontaneous membrane rupture, spontaneous onset of labor, and earlier gestational age at birth.

TL;DR: Prenatal surgery did not significantly reduce the need for CIC by 30 months of age but was associated with less bladder trabeculation and open bladder neck.

TL;DR: Doxazosin and combination therapy reduced nocturia more than placebo, but the net benefit of active drug compared to placebo was often modest with a net difference of less than 0.20 fewer nightlyNocturia episodes at 1 and 4 years.

TL;DR: Long-term benefits of prenatal surgery included improved mobility and independent functioning and fewer surgeries for shunt placement and revision, with no strong evidence of improved cognitive functioning.
