THE EFFECT OF AGE AND SYMPTOM DURATION ON THE ACCURACY OF TWIST SCORE FOR TESTICULAR TORSION IN BOYS

This study evaluates how patient age and symptom duration influence the diagnostic accuracy of the TWIST (Testicular Workup for Ischemia and Suspected Torsion) scoring system in pediatric males with acute scrotal pain. The research aims to determine whether these clinical variables affect the tool's reliability in identifying testicular torsion, a time-sensitive urological emergency.
