Different ways of auditing screening for undescended testes, using Hospital Activity Analysis data, hospital case notes, and community/general practice records are described. The cumulative orchidopexy rate per 1000 male births in successive birth cohorts is a simple tool for monitoring trends within a health district. Information gained from community/general practice records is valuable in highlighting problem areas in screening, such as the lack of clear diagnostic criteria and referral pathways.
本文描述了利用医院活动分析数据、医院病历以及社区/全科医疗记录对隐睾筛查进行审计的不同方法。连续出生队列中每1000例男性出生的累计睾丸固定术率是监测健康区内趋势的一个简单工具。从社区/全科医疗记录中获取的信息对于突出筛查中的问题领域很有价值，比如缺乏明确的诊断标准和转诊途径。
