Voting Results Research Articles

Prawo i Sprawiedliwość wobec procedury zapłodnienia pozaustrojowego metodą in vitro

The main aim of this article is to analyze the position of Law and Justice party (PiS) towards in vitro fertilization (IVF) at the level of ideological and political agenda, results of parliamentary votes, and views of the electorate. Therefore, the following concepts were analyzed: the Law and Justice party doctrinal stereotype, the party's political stance on IVF, draft bills, the position of the party's club in the parliament towards the aforementioned and the results of parliamentary votes alongside the views of the electorate on IVF. Recognizing that human dignity begins with conception, the Law and Justice party is in favor of banning IVF and imposing criminal punishments for carrying it out, experimenting on embryos, and destroying them. These methods include: qualitative analysis of ideological and political program assumptions, institutional and legal assumptions, quantitative analysis of existing data. In order to determine the position of the party's electorate towards IVF, the announcements of the Public Opinion Research Center (CBOS) were analyzed.

An electronic voting scheme based on homomorphic encryption and decentralization

Compared with paper-based voting, electronic voting not only has advantages in storage and transmission, but also can solve the security problems that exist in traditional voting. However, in practice, most electronic voting faces the risk of voting failure due to malicious voting by voters or ballot tampering by attackers. To solve this problem, this article proposes an electronic voting scheme based on homomorphic encryption and decentralization, which uses the Paillier homomorphic encryption method to ensure that the voting results are not leaked until the election is over. In addition, the scheme applies signatures and two layers of encryption to the ballots. First, the ballot is homomorphically encrypted using the homomorphic public key; then, the voter uses the private key to sign the ballot; and finally, the ballot is encrypted using the public key of the counting center. By signing the ballots and encrypting them in two layers, the security of the ballots in the transmission process and the establishment of the decentralized scheme are guaranteed. The security analysis shows that the proposed scheme can guarantee the completeness, verifiability, anonymity, and uniqueness of the electronic voting scheme. The performance analysis shows that the computational efficiency of the proposed scheme is improved by about 66.7% compared with the Fan et al. scheme (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2019.10.016).

Monetary policy document analysis for prediction of monetary policy board decision

In terms of market capitalization, the bond market is larger than the stock market, and the bond market is affected by macroeconomic indicators. Despite this, there has been relatively little research, making it a good candidate for the use of data mining techniques. In this paper, a novel approach designed to predict the vote results of the Korean Monetary Policy Committee regarding the base interest rate was proposed. To predict sentence sentiment, prior monetary policy decision text was used as input for classification models. The sentence sentiment prediction model showed 83.7% performance when using a support vector machine. In addition, it was observed that the bigrams extracted from documents provided important descriptions of the Korean economy at the time. Finally, the document sentiment of monetary policy decision was calculated using aggregating sentence sentiment, and the vote results were predicted using this sentiment. As a result, when using the support vector machine to predict the Monetary Policy Committee vote results, the performance improved by 29.5% over the baseline model. Statistical tests confirmed whether there is a difference in document sentiments between unanimous and non-unanimous, and the null hypothesis was rejected at a significance level of 5%.

Implementation and Legitimization of the Results of Remote Electronic Voting in the Regions of Russia: Features of Urban and Rural Practices

Remote electronic voting (REV) as technology is gradually taking root in the political practice in Russia. As the technology is legally and chronologically new, it is both interesting and necessary to explain its implementation, as well as to identify the technological basis of the REV and, therefore, questions about the potential illegal use of this technology. This study aims at identifying the elements of the analysis of the implementation and legitimation of REV in cities and villages across Russia. The research is based on qualitative sociological and general logical methods: in general, the author uses the dialectical-materialistic approach, as well as the tools of comparative politics. A series of expert interviews were conducted in 10 regions of Russia. The results of the study showed that the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation, the regional election commissions of the subjects of the Russian Federation, as well as regional and municipal authorities where the REV is being held, are at this stage looking for specific technologies to legitimize electronic voting. These practices will differ not only when comparing different regions, but also, most often, within one subject. One of the most significant differences will be noticeable with the introduction of REV in highly urbanized massifs and rural areas. Urban areas are characterized by the wide usage of political technologies to attract voters to electronic voting and legitimize it. Significantly larger budgets are invested in propaganda materials, including large, printed products (billboards, advertising at bus stops, and public transport). The idea of electronic voting is being promoted in social networks, mainly through VK, Telegram, Odnoklassniki, and WhatsApp. The rural areas, meanwhile, are characterized by activities aimed at personal contact with the voters and the use of informal connections. At the same time, today messages in social networks also reach rural residents, although most often it is not a purposeful activity, but a background capture of the audience. Concerning the improvement of the technological basis and the expansion of the geography of the REV, we can further elaborate on its legitimization and implementation, including in the context of the issues identified in this study.

Improving the quality ofhospital sterilization process using failure modes andeffects analysis, fuzzy logic, andmachine learning: experience intertiary dental centre.

Activities practiced in the hospital generate several types of risks. Therefore, performing the risk assessment is one of the quality improvement keys in the healthcare sector. For this reason, healthcare managers need to design and perform efficient risk assessment processes. Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is one of the most used risk assessment methods. The FMEA is a proactive technique consisting of the evaluation of failure modes associated with a studied process using three factors: occurrence, non-detection, and severity, in order to obtain the risk priority number using fuzzy logic approach and machine learning algorithms, namely the support vector machine and the k-nearest neighbours. The proposed model is applied in the case of the central sterilization unit of a tertiary national reference centre of dental treatment, where its efficiency is evaluated compared to the classical approach. These comparisons are based on expert advice and machine learning performance metrics. Our developed model proved high effectiveness throughout the results of the expert's vote (she agrees with 96% fuzzy-FMEA results against 6% with classical FMEA results). Furthermore, the machine learning metrics show a high level of accuracy in both training data (best rate is 96%) and testing data (90%). This study represents the first study that aims to perform artificial intelligence approach to risk management in the Moroccan healthcare sector. The perspective of this study is to promote the application of the artificial intelligence in Moroccan health management, especially in the field of quality and safety management.

Shareholder activism in listed family firms: Exploring the effectiveness of say‐on‐pay on CEO compensation

AbstractThe widespread critical evidence surrounding executive compensation of listed corporations has boosted shareholder activism in recent decades. The say‐on‐pay (SOP) mechanism—a vote in which shareholders express their (dis)agreement with executive pay designs—is one of the corporate governance mechanisms that has led to this activism among listed firms. Merging agency and socioemotional wealth (SEW) arguments, this paper analyzes how effective SOP voting results are among listed family firms in terms of CEO compensation efficiency and equity. Using a sample of UK listed firms from 2011 to 2018, our results show that SOP effectiveness is positively influenced by family ownership and is strongly moderated by family involvement in management and in governance as well as by family generation. Our findings stress the strong family effect and the ethical perceptions of family shareholders on SOP voting, showing how family participation in the firm encourages fairer and more aligned CEO compensation packages. SOP institutional and practical implications oriented to preserve shareholder value and family wealth are finally outlined.

Understanding European Union Climate Change Governance through Political Parties Euromanifesto

This study offers a novelty specifying climate change as the legislation results in the European Parliament (EP) as an indicator of the consistency of political groups in realising their Euromanifestos. The article aims to investigate precisely the prospects and future of climate change policies in the EU post the 2019 general election. This study adopted qualitative legal research methods by studying the Euromanifestos of political groups in the European Union that competed in the 2019 European elections. Environmental issues, particularly climate change, were a significant focus in the study of these manifestos. Based on data from Euromanifesto, this study selected five EU Regulations as indicators of realising such political promises. In addition, the record of legislation and the results of voting during the establishment of the regulation was also applied as a data source in this study. In general, the cohesion between political groups in the EP is excellent. Based on a manifesto study, there are three essential findings; namely, most political groups in the EP make environmental issues, especially climate change, a politicised issue in elections. The second finding is that there are specific intersections between political groups, so it has implications for making the issue of climate change a common interest, and the results of the vote showed that a majority of Member of European Parliament members supported the establishment of the regulation. Finally, the solidarity of the EP political group cohesion in establishing regulations related to climate change is the last finding in this research.

Pengembangan UMKM Rengginang di Desa Sukakarya Kecamatan Megamendung Kabupaten Bogor melalui Pelatihan Sanitasi, Inovasi Kemasan, dan Digital Marketing

The existence of UMKM in the midst of society has a positive impact on their survival, especially at the economic level. To be able to continue to survive and compete, innovations are needed. One of the efforts made is to innovate the product. Products that were originally packaged simply is innovated into more modern packaging with attractive designs and brands. This is supported by a digital marketing system so that products can be known more widely. In addition, the quality and cleanliness of the product need to be considered to prevent and avoid contamination. The activities carried out were divided into three sessions, the first session on sanitation, the second session on product innovation which includes labeling and packaging, and the last session on digital marketing. The results of the discussion showed that the type of packaging used in the form of a standing pouch with the trademark "Hampleu" and label design was obtained from 38 of the 49 voting results. Digital marketing that is implemented utilizes public platforms, namely Instagram, Facebook and Shopee. The risk of contamination in products is avoided by reviewing related sciences and starting to apply them by washing hands, wearing gloves, and masks.

Use of artificial intelligence during elections, practice, threats to the right to vote and ways to overcome them

This article explores the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in elections and its impact on the right to votr. It examines the practical aspects of the application of AI in the electoral process, as well as the potential threats it may pose to democratic principles and human rights.
 The paper analyzes various aspects of the use of AI during elections, including the automation of vote counting, election forecasting, and the impact of social media and crowdsourcing on political advertising. It also explores the potential of using AI to detect electoral fraud and manipulation, such as disinformation and falsification of results.
 However, the article also draws attention to the threats that arise in connection with the use of AI during elections. These threats include the possibility of manipulation of election results, violations of the privacy, and the possibility of creating artificial accounts or bots to mass influence public opinion.
 Finally, the article examines ways to overcome these threats and protect human electoral rights. It discusses the need to develop effective laws and regulations to ensure the transparency, auditability and security of electoral processes that use AI. It also considers the importance of educating voters and politicians about these technologies and the conscious use of AI in political processes. In addition, the article considers the importance of international cooperation and the creation of standards for the ethical use of AI by electoral bodies and political actors. However, the use of artificial intelligence during elections can also pose threats to citizens' right to vote. For example, there may be a lack of transparency and accountability of the algorithms used to analyze election data and make decisions. This can lead to unfair or hidden influence on the election process and voting results.
 In addition, there is a risk of artificial intelligence being misused to manipulate voters by spreading false information or manipulating political sentiment. Algorithms can be configured to enhance certain views or suppress others, which can expose the electoral process and violate the principles of democratic elections.
 Effective legal regulation is necessary to overcome the threats associated with the use of artificial intelligence during elections.
 It is important to establish mandatory norms regarding the transparency and accountability of algorithms used during election processes. This may include requiring disclosure of the underlying principles and logic underlying algorithms, as well as mandatory testing and independent verification of their effectiveness and lack of bias.
 It is necessary to consider the introduction of restrictions on the use of artificial intelligence in the field of political advertising and information campaign. This may include restrictions on the use of personalized advertising, mandatory identification and disclosure of sources of funding for political advertising campaigns, as well as regulation of the use of social networks.

ESPEN guideline on nutritional support for polymorbid medical inpatients

Disease-related malnutrition in polymorbid medical inpatients is a highly prevalent syndrome associated with significantly increased morbidity, disability, short- and long-term mortality, impaired recovery from illness, and cost of care. As there are uncertainties in applying disease-specific guidelines to patients with multiple conditions, our aim was to provide evidence-based recommendations on nutritional support for the polymorbid patient population hospitalized in medical wards. This update adheres to the standard operating procedures for ESPEN guidelines. We did a systematic literature search for 15 clinical questions in three different databases (Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library), as well as in secondary sources (e.g. published guidelines), until July 12th. Retrieved abstracts were screened to identify relevant studies that were used to develop recommendations (incl. SIGN grading), which was followed by submission to Delphi voting. From a total of 3527 retrieved abstracts, 60 new relevant studies were analyzed and used to generate a guideline draft that proposed 32 recommendations (7x A, 11x B, 10x O and 4x GPP), which encompass different aspects of nutritional support including indication, route of feeding, energy and protein requirements, micronutrient requirements, disease-specific nutrients, timing, monitoring and procedure of intervention. The results of the first online voting showed a strong consensus (agreement of >90%) on 100% of the recommendations. Therefore, no final consensus conference was needed. Recent high-quality trials have provided increasing evidence that nutritional support can reduce morbidity and other complications associated with malnutrition in polymorbid patients. The timely screening of patients for risk of malnutrition at hospital admission followed by individualized nutritional support interventions for at-risk patients should be part of routine clinical care and multimodal treatment in hospitals worldwide. Use of this updated guideline offers an evidence-based nutritional approach to the polymorbid medical inpatients and may improve their outcomes.

On the safety of group manipulation

Groups of voters have more possibilities to influence the voting result than separate individuals. However, there is a problem with coordinating their actions. This paper considers manipulation by groups of voters who have the same preferences. If a voting result is more preferable for voters of a particular group provided that all its members use the same strategy (report the same insincere preference), then each of these members has an incentive to manipulate. If there is a chance that they will become worse off in case only a subset of the whole group manipulates, then manipulation is unsafe. For several voting rules we study conditions on the numbers of voters and alternatives which allow for an unsafe manipulation or which make manipulation always safe.

Conflict of interests among shareholders – does it refer to dividend decisions?

Abstract Research background Agency theory refers to the conflict of interests between different groups involved in the business. One aspect of the agency theory is conflict among shareholders. One of the areas of potential conflict is dividend payment. Purpose The goal of our paper was to identify the impact of voting behaviour of shareholders during Annual General Meetings on dividend decisions. We make a comparison between big and small companies. Research methodology We included the 20 biggest and the 20 smallest companies from the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) in our sample over the 2010–2022 period. We collected 413 observations (shareholders’ presence, voting results from annual general meetings, and financial data). We use statistical tests, a correlation analysis, and a regression analysis. Results: We found that in small companies there is conflict among large shareholders on dividend payout decisions, while in big companies small shareholders show their disappointment by voting against or abstaining from voting for financial statement acceptance (but not dividend payout decisions). Additionally, we found that the higher presence of large shareholders at the AGM the lower the dividend payout is. Novelty: The originality of the paper is that instead of ownership structure we took into account shareholders’ presence at AGM’s. We deal with a unique set of hand-collected data on voting results. We present new evidence on interests of conflict among shareholders (not only on dividend decisions). Although the problem of the conflict between minority and majority shareholders was identified, there is a scarcity of research on its background and implication.

Impact of a priori positive information on the results of voting methods

The aim of this paper is to present the results of experiments relating to voting methods based on the bounded rationality theory. The research demonstrated that a positive nudge changes the voting results. The study focused on three methods of voting: the Borda Count method, the Condorcet winner method and the anti-manipulation method. In a laboratory experiment, the subjects were asked to select the best musician. They were to manipulate their voting so that a predetermined winner is chosen. In the first voting, the subjects did not receive any a priori information, while in the second voting, some a priori information was provided, i.e. the true, objective ranking of the musicians. What followed was another voting. It was initially assumed that the participants would manipulate their voting the same way as in the first voting. The results, however, were different. The obtained second ranking of musicians was closest to the true, objective ranking, thus proving that the manipulation effect was neutralised by the a priori positive information about the true, objective order.

ELECTIONS AS A WAY OF LEGITIMATING POLITICAL AUTHORITY IN CONDITIONS OF INSTABILITY

The article examines the phenomenon of the legitimacy of political power, its signs and factors that can influence it. The election process as an element of political activity is considered in detail, the contribution of elections to democratic governance is analyzed. Examples of how elections work and how this affects the legitimation of power in unstable societies and the role of international actors in this process are presented, it is about elections as one of the most widespread systems of power legitimation. In today's world, many countries face various forms of political instability, such as mass protests, economic crises, wars and conflicts, corruption and political violence. In these conditions, elections become an important means of legitimizing political power, as they allow citizens to choose their representatives and determine the direction of the country's development. Elections are also a mechanism for changing power and developing democracy in the country. In addition, elections in conditions of instability can become the object of manipulation and abuse by political forces, which can undermine citizens' trust in the electoral process and the legitimacy of political power. Elections can be viewed as a struggle of ideologies, as a process of replacing structural elements, and as a communication process. Participation in elections can have a positive effect on voters' self-esteem and self-esteem, as well as satisfy their need for a sense of belonging to a political community. Regardless of the voting results, participation in elections is a manifestation of the human desire for personal fulfillment. Voting is a mechanism that allows the people to delegate their powers to elected officials who govern the country within the framework of their political agenda. In general, elections can be an effective way of legitimizing political power in conditions of instability, but only on the condition that they take place in accordance with the principles of democracy and transparency, and are not subject to manipulation by the interests of individual political groups.

ETHICAL PROBLEMS OF USING PUSH-POLLS IN MARKETING RESEARCH IN THE POLITICAL MARKET

Thepurpose of political marketing research is to measure the electoral sentiments of voters, which are formed in the process of using various tools of influence. Critical from the ethical point of view of conducting marketing research in the political marketis their use as a tool to influence the consciousness and electoral mood of voters. Under the current conditions of marketing development, researching the needs of consumers, competitors, and macroenvironmental factors is extremely important for further planning of the company's activities. Marketing research, in addition to the fact that it should help in making effective management decisions, can be used by unscrupulous customers for various manipulations. For example, in the conditions of the industrialgoods market, such manipulations are practically unreal, because each of the participants systematically makes purchasing decisions and is very well acquainted with both the market participants and the technical and functional characteristics of the goodsthat are the subject of procurement. In the political market, the "purchase of goods" is carried out regularly, but with large time intervals (once every 4 or 5 years), which, given the unformed political culture, creates extremely favorable conditions for the use of various manipulations and technologies to influence the voter (consumer of political goods).The main methods of the conducted research are the analysis, generalization and processing of information obtained as a result of sociological research conducted by the Batkivshchyna party, the sociological company Rating, the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, and the Razumkov Center. The method of correlation analysis was also used to identify the relationship between the poll results and the actual voting results. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the use of manipulative technologies in the process of conducting marketing political research in the conditions of the pre-election process is ineffective and difficult to predict from the point of view of the final result. Thus, it can be argued that the Ukrainian voter is influenced by a complex of marketing and technological means and techniques, and individual efforts do not bring the desired result

The Spatial Data Analysis of Determinants of U.S. Presidential Voting Results in the Rustbelt States during the COVID-19 Pandemic

This study aims to analyze the factors that determine voting behavior in the rustbelt states during the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The rustbelt states are traditionally considered “swing states” and play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the presidential election. The study employs a spatial econometrics model that considers COVID-19-related factors, such as the percentage of people wearing masks and the number of COVID-19 deaths in each county of the rustbelt states. Firstly, the study identifies the most suitable spatial econometrics model. Secondly, the study shows that COVID-19 pandemic-related independent variables had a significant positive impact on the Republican Party’s results in the U.S. presidential election while mask-wearing behavior had a significant negative impact. These results suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced voting behavior and altered the political landscape, but it does not have geographical effects.

Discourse on the Debate on Bawaslu's Authority in Handling Election Violations After the Determination of National Vote Results

Violations in the electoral process in Indonesia are an issue that often occurs during the electoral process, where the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) is tasked with preventing and taking action related to alleged election violations, not only during the election but also when the vote results have been determined nationally, with the hope of realizing a fair and integrity election. This study aims to describe the limitations of Bawaslu in carrying out its duties fully to oversee the entire series of elections following statutory regulations. This research uses a normative juridical research method through a statutory approach. The results of this study reveal that Bawaslu is unable to fully carry out its duties in taking action against alleged election violations after the determination of the vote until the stage of taking the oath or pledge because there is a legal vacuum in Article 93 letter d of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections which outlines that Bawaslu is only tasked with overseeing the implementation of the election until the stage of determining the election results. Law Number 7/2017 on General Elections must be reviewed to provide legal certainty to Bawaslu in carrying out its duties under statutory regulations.

Intestinal MRI in Inflammatory Bowel Disease - Literature and Survey-Based Recommendations regarding Reporting by the German Radiological Society (DRG) and the German Competence Network for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.

MR-enterography/enteroclysis (MRE) is increasingly used for primary diagnosis, detection of complications, and monitoring of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Standardization of reporting is relevant to ensure quality of the methodology and to improve communication between different faculties. The current manuscript describes the features that are required for optimized reporting of MRE in IBD. An expert consensus panel of radiologists and gastroenterologists conducted a systematic search of the literature. In a Delphi process, members of the German Radiological Society (DRG) and members of the Competence Network for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases voted on relevant criteria for the reporting of findings in MRE. Based on the voting results, statements were developed by the expert consensus panel. Clinically relevant aspects of MRE findings have been defined to optimize reporting and to standardize terminology. Minimal requirements for standardized reporting are suggested. The statements focus on the description of disease activity as well as on complications of IBD. Attributes of intestinal inflammation are described and illustrated by exemplary images. The current manuscript provides standardized parameters and gives practical recommendations on how to report and how to characterize MRE findings in patients with IBD. · Systematic overview provides practice-oriented recommendations and names and evaluates the decisive criteria for reporting and interpretation of MRI in inflammatory bowel disease.. · Standardized terminology and reporting criteria for MRI in IBD improves interdisciplinary communication.. · Standardized collection and documentation of MRI findings in IBD helps to further establish the method and to improve care for IBD patients.. · Wessling J, Kucharzik T, Bettenworth D et al.

Key points of anti-tumor treatment in breast cancer patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Internationally, the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become the most serious public health emergency. With the adjustment of the prevention and control policies, China downgraded the management of COVID-19 from Class A to Class B, causing new challenges in the clinical management of patients with breast cancer. It is necessary to formulate clinical strategies for timely and reasonable anti-tumor treatment after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. By combing the relevant evidence and summarizing the anti-tumor treatment experience for breast cancer patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection in various regions, the expert panel of the Breast Cancer Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO-BC) discussed and voted on hot and difficult issues of this situation timely. Based on the vote results, combined with domestic and foreign guidelines and consensus, the key points of treatment and management of breast cancer patients who were infected with COVID-19 have been established to provide suggestions and recommendations for clinical practice, such as restart time of anti-tumor treatment, application of anti-tumor drugs and other considerations. In the formulation of this key point, we mainly focus on mild to moderate and asymptomatic infection patients who account for the largest proportion of COVID-19 patients, and propose diagnosis and treatment recommendations for breast cancer patients with different infections and after SARS-CoV-2 infection, aiming to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Management of patients with advanced prostate cancer—metastatic and/or castration-resistant prostate cancer: Report of the Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference (APCCC) 2022

BackgroundInnovations in imaging and molecular characterisation together with novel treatment options have improved outcomes in advanced prostate cancer. However, we still lack high-level evidence in many areas relevant to making management decisions in daily clinical practise. The 2022 Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference (APCCC 2022) addressed some questions in these areas to supplement guidelines that mostly are based on level 1 evidence. ObjectiveTo present the voting results of the APCCC 2022. Design, setting, and participantsThe experts voted on controversial questions where high-level evidence is mostly lacking: locally advanced prostate cancer; biochemical recurrence after local treatment; metastatic hormone-sensitive, non-metastatic, and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer; oligometastatic prostate cancer; and managing side effects of hormonal therapy. A panel of 105 international prostate cancer experts voted on the consensus questions. Outcome measurements and statistical analysisThe panel voted on 198 pre-defined questions, which were developed by 117 voting and non-voting panel members prior to the conference following a modified Delphi process. A total of 116 questions on metastatic and/or castration-resistant prostate cancer are discussed in this manuscript. In 2022, the voting was done by a web-based survey because of COVID-19 restrictions. Results and limitationsThe voting reflects the expert opinion of these panellists and did not incorporate a standard literature review or formal meta-analysis. The answer options for the consensus questions received varying degrees of support from panellists, as reflected in this article and the detailed voting results are reported in the supplementary material. We report here on topics in metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), non-metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC), metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and oligometastatic and oligoprogressive prostate cancer. ConclusionsThese voting results in four specific areas from a panel of experts in advanced prostate cancer can help clinicians and patients navigate controversial areas of management for which high-level evidence is scant or conflicting and can help research funders and policy makers identify information gaps and consider what areas to explore further. However, diagnostic and treatment decisions always have to be individualised based on patient characteristics, including the extent and location of disease, prior treatment(s), co-morbidities, patient preferences, and treatment recommendations and should also incorporate current and emerging clinical evidence and logistic and economic factors. Enrolment in clinical trials is strongly encouraged. Importantly, APCCC 2022 once again identified important gaps where there is non-consensus and that merit evaluation in specifically designed trials. Patient summaryThe Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference (APCCC) provides a forum to discuss and debate current diagnostic and treatment options for patients with advanced prostate cancer. The conference aims to share the knowledge of international experts in prostate cancer with healthcare providers worldwide. At each APCCC, an expert panel votes on pre-defined questions that target the most clinically relevant areas of advanced prostate cancer treatment for which there are gaps in knowledge. The results of the voting provide a practical guide to help clinicians discuss therapeutic options with patients and their relatives as part of shared and multidisciplinary decision-making. This report focuses on the advanced setting, covering metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer and both non-metastatic and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Twitter summaryReport of the results of APCCC 2022 for the following topics: mHSPC, nmCRPC, mCRPC, and oligometastatic prostate cancer. Take-home messageAt APCCC 2022, clinically important questions in the management of advanced prostate cancer management were identified and discussed, and experts voted on pre-defined consensus questions. The report of the results for metastatic and/or castration-resistant prostate cancer is summarised here.
