Disparities in urology are well-documented but less is known about the role of translational research within existing interventional models to address inequalities. In this narrative review, we utilize an accepted framework of the process of translational research in mitigating disparities to investigate current translational and interventional urologic programs that bridge the gap. Three established, disparity-focused urologic interventional programs were identified and are highlighted in depth. Finally, we extrapolate from these findings to provide 10 policy relevant implications to help move urologic disparities research from evidence synthesis to translational research.
泌尿外科领域的差异已有充分记录，但对于转化研究在现有干预模式中解决不平等问题所起的作用，人们了解较少。在这篇叙述性综述中，我们利用一个公认的转化研究过程框架来减轻差异，以调查当前弥合差距的转化性和介入性泌尿外科项目。我们确定了三个既定的、以差异为重点的泌尿外科介入项目，并对其进行了深入强调。最后，我们从这些发现中推断出10条与政策相关的启示，以帮助将泌尿外科差异研究从证据综合推进到转化研究。
