Created in 1997 and updated in 2001, the tables were initially developed by a group of urologists at the Brady Institute for Urology at Johns Hopkins University. This page provides links to pages at Phoenix5 and other sites where you can learn more about the tables. Some pages are built on the 1997 figures but the text can still explain how the tables are used. At Phoenix5 The original 1997 abstract from Journal of American Medican Assn.
