Abstract

Higher patient recall is associated with ⩽3 dietary recommendations. Patient recall of recommendations that were not actually provided ('false recall') may contribute to reduced recall and confusion about the most important dietary strategies to reduce their stone risk. Accordingly, providers should prioritize the most important dietary recommendations, reserving those less important for follow-up, and address any confusion patients have from information received prior to evaluation.
