Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study will examine the work status of all adult patients admitted over a 6-month period to the University Hospital in Kraków, Poland, for treatment of urological diseases. All admitted patients will be surveyed about their job situation. Patients who are occupationally active and undergoing major oncological surgeries (such as radical cystectomy, prostatectomy, or nephrectomy) or procedures for urinary tract stones will also complete a quality-of-life questionnaire and be followed up by phone at 3 and 6 months. The goal is to learn how treatment affects patients' ability to return to work and their well-being, to help guide support and rehabilitation strategies.

Arms & Interventions
Patients admitted to the Department of Urology and Oncological Urology over a 6-month period
Adult patients (≥18 years) admitted over a 6-month period to the Department of Urology and Oncological Urology, University Hospital in Kraków, Poland, including a subset of occupationally active individuals undergoing major uro-oncological surgeries or procedures for urinary tract stones.
Intervention: Occupational Status Survey and Telephone Follow-up and Quality-of-Life Assessment in a subset of patients (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Occupational Status of Patients With Urological Diseases
Time Frame: At hospital admission (baseline), and at 3 and 6 months for the prospective cohort
Descriptive assessment of employment categories (employed, unemployed, on disability, retired) among all admitted patients, and changes in employment status over time for occupationally active patients undergoing major surgeries or stone-related procedures.
Return to Work Rate in Occupationally Active Patients Undergoing Major Uro-Oncological Surgeries
Time Frame: 3 months and 6 months after surgery
Proportion of employed patients at baseline who resume or maintain work following radical cystectomy, radical prostatectomy, radical or partial nephrectomy, or nephroureterectomy.
Return to Work Rate in Occupationally Active Patients Undergoing Procedures for Urinary Tract Stones
Time Frame: 3 months and 6 months after procedure
Proportion of employed patients at baseline who resume or maintain work following ureterorenoscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotripsy.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in Quality of Life in Occupationally Active Patients Undergoing Major Uro-Oncological Surgeries (EQ-5D-5L Score)(Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months)
- Change in Quality of Life in Occupationally Active Patients Undergoing Procedures for Urinary Tract Stones (EQ-5D-5L Score)(Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months)
