Guidelines

CUA guidelines are divided into two categories:

  1. Guidelines will be created for content areas that are important to urologists where there is high-level (e.g., RCTs) evidence to support recommendations. Note that although moving forward the CUA will be employing GRADE methodology for all its major guidelines, until we shift exclusively to this model, guidelines will be updated using the methodology in which they were originally created.
  2. Expert Reports are for topics somewhat peripheral to a urologist’s practice or when most recommendations need to be formed by experts on consensus. Prior to 2025, CUA Expert Reports may have been entitled Best Practice Reports or Consensus Statements.

Reproduction of any part of the published CUA guideline portfolio requires the express written consent of the Canadian Urological Association (CUA).

*Please note, the CUA is currently reviewing its guideline portfolio and will be updating/recategorizing topics as appropriate. For any questions, don't hesitate to contact the CUA Guidelines Manager at adriana.modica@cua.org.*
