Boston Scientific and Urovant Sciences contributed the biggest number of individual payments, while Merck contributed the largest total amount (32. 6M) (Table 2). CONCLUSIONS: Disproportionate amount of industry payments were made with 0. 1% of urologists receiving 26% of the total payments in 2022. Research payments are the largest industry payment category to urologists. Further studies are warranted to better understand the nature of this industry-urologist relationship and its impact on physician decision making.
