Association of Urinary pH With Overall Survival in Patients With Stage IV Cancer: A Single‐Center Retrospective Cohort Study
Cancer Nexus
Single-center retrospective cohort with no concurrent control group, studying an association between urinary pH and survival in stage IV cancer patients; the authors explicitly state findings are associative and hypothesis-generating rather than causal, and call for prospective studies.
