urine-first strategy
urine-first strategy: Only patients with an abnormal urine test result undergo a diagnostic workup, i.e. cystoscopy and upper-tract imaging.
Study summary
The SeARCH-trial assess the clinical impact of a molecular urine test as a 'urine-first' strategy in the diagnostic workup of patients presenting with microscopic hematuria.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Microscopically confirmed microscopic hematuria of voided urine defined as ≥3 erythrocytes per high power field

* Presence of macroscopic (visible) hematuria
* Woman who is or may be pregnant
Primary outcome measure(s)
The primary aim of the SeARCH-trial is to assess the clinical impact of implementing a molecular urinary assay as a 'urine-first' strategy, in the diagnostic workup of patients presenting with microscopic hematuria. — 1 year The net benefit is defined as the proportion of patients who were diagnose with urinary tract cancer within 1 year after initial diagnostic work-up in the population (true positives) subtracted by the proportion of patients that underwent diagnostic evaluations without an abnormal finding (false positives). The latter is multiplied by the decision threshold, which represents the estimated harms of the diagnostic intervention, such as patients' burden and use of available resources, against the harms of an outcome event, i.e. missing a urinary tract tumor.
