Topic overview
Pediatric testicular torsion is a surgical emergency with known health disparities. The US News and World Report is an American media company that ranks colleges and hospitals based on annually published criteria. Hospitals that complied with the US News and World Report’s (USNWR) Speed in Treating Testicular Torsion (SiTTT) metric saw improved surgical testicular salvage rates, but the metric’s impact in mitigating inequities in testicular torsion is unstudied.
