guidelines and were removed from the analysis), there were 2202 survey respondents representing 11,680 practicing urologists. Utilization of AUA guidelines was reported in 95.0% of the weighted population. There was no significant difference in utilization based on gender, race, country of origin (United States vs. other), owner interest in equipment, practice type, or having completed a fellowship. After controlling for other variables, urologists who reported practicing in a rural/ micropolitan area (vs. metropolitan) were more likely to be non-utilizers (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.03, 1.09). Additionally, urologists who had been practicing longer were less likely to utilize guidelines compared with those earlier in their careers; OR 1.15 (95% CI 1.10, 1.21) for practicing 10-20 years and OR 1.13 (95% CI 1.09, 1.18) for practicing >20 years vs. <10 years of practice (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Despite continued production and dissemination of AUA practice guidelines, about 5% of urologists do not utilize guidelines in their practice. Later career status and rural/micropolitan geography were associated with non-utilization. These data may inform efforts to improve dissemination and education regarding evidencebased practice.
