Development of a risk calculator to predict spontaneous stone passage in patients with acute ureteric colic

Is there an app for that?

“…With the combined efforts of collaborators from 71 sites, across seven different countries, 4171 patients who presented with ureteric colic and CT confirmed single ureteric stones were included in the study [5]. The scale of this large international research study heralded an opportunity to apply our findings to clinical practice in order to make a difference to patient care and quality of life through the formulation of an app‐based calculator that predicts the rate of spontaneous stone passage in acute ureteric colic [6].…”
