Continued use of scrotal ultrasounds for the workup of undescended testes: Confirmation bias and inaccuracies.

Scrotal ultrasound highly corroborated PCPs' UDT diagnoses. Older patients were more likely to be misdiagnosed with UDT by PCP and ultrasound. As ultrasounds rarely refute PCP examinations for suspected UDTs and are highly inaccurate, confirmation bias may explain the use of ultrasound in the workup of UDT.
