简要总结
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."

结局指标
主要结局
The presence of at least one reported barrier to accessing healthcare
时间窗: Before the first attending for testicular torsion

次要结局
- The association between patients' prior knowledge of testicular torsion and the time taken to seek medical advice(Before the first attending for testicular torsion)
- The role of those close to the individual, particularly parents or legal guardians, in the decision to seek medical advice.(Before the first attending for testicular torsion)
- The influence of the initial perception of symptom severity on the time taken to seek medical advice.(Before the first attending for testicular torsion)
