چکیده
Chronic Prostatitis at AUA 2014 The 2014 offerings on chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain (CP/CPPS) were again few at the American Urological Association meeting in Orlando last May, with only about 15 presentations that could apply to men with CP/CPPS and only 9 aimed specifically at CP/CPPS. Funding for studies in North America is now mostly through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases-funded MultiDisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network, with results only beginning to trickle in. Of the 5 North American studies concerning CP/ CPPS specifically, 3 were from MAPP study sites.
