“…In previous translation studies, the number of patients varied between 5 and 87. 12,13,14 A correlation sample size calculation was performed using the Sample Size Calculators for designing clinical research tool (UCSF Clinical & Translational Science Institute) 16 . The calculation yielded that recruiting a total of 194 patients would be sufficient; using α (two-tailed) = 0.05, β = 0.20 and r=0.20.…”

Introduction: The Wisconsin Stone Quality of Life (WISQOL) questionnaire has been recently developed to objectively assess QOL in patients with urolithiasis. However, French version of the questionnaire was lacking. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to develop and validate the French version of this tool. Methods: The French version of the WISQOL (F-WISQOL) was developed in a multi-step process involving primary translation, back-translation and pilot testing amongst a group of patients (n=12). Urolithiasis patients from two tertiary care institutions were recruited into this study and completed 3 questionnaires: Perceived Stress Scale-10, medical history form and either the WISQOL or F-WISQOL. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s α and inter-domain associations were evaluated using Spearman’s rank correlation (r). One-way ANOVA was used to compare scores from the two groups (WISQOL and F-WISQOL). Results: A total of 210 patients were enrolled in this study; 68 in the WISQOL group and 148 in the F-WISQOL group. Internal consistency was high for all domains in both groups (F-WISQOL: 0.924-0.970; WISQOL: 0.888-0.965). No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups’ scores. Inter-domain association, measured by Spearman correlation, was moderate to very strong between all of the domains in the F-WISQOL. Values ranged from r=0.676-0.915, with acceptable correlation between D1, D2 and D3, but weaker correlation between D4 (vitality) and the 3 other domains r=0.676-0.729. Conclusions: In the present study, the French version of the WISQOL questionnaire (F-WISQOL) was validated at two academic institutions.

“…Patients' HRQOL was found to be decreased, particularly with respect to their physical and mental states [5,6,[23][24][25]. Penniston et al [7,10] developed a stone-speci c questionnaire, the WISQOL, with robust psychometric properties, which has been already translated and validated in different languages [11][12][13][14][15]. Worldwide, we are observing an increasing interest in publishing high quality papers on urolithiasis.…”

PURPOSE Urolithiasis is a worldwide spread condition that affect patients’ Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL), which measurement is an important tool for routinary clinical and research practice. Disease-specific HRQOL measures demonstrated to perform better in assessing effects of specific conditions. A disease-specific questionnaire for kidney stones, the WISQOL, has been validated in different language, but an Italian version is still missing. Our aim is to produce and validate the Italian version of WISQOL (IT-WISQOL). METHODS Patients undergoing any elective treatment for upper urinary tract stones were enrolled. A multi-step process with forward- and back-translation was used to translate WISQOL to Italian. Patients were evaluated within 15 days pre-operatively and then at 1-,3-months post-operatively and administered both IT-WISQOL and SF-36v2. Post-operative data such as 30 days post-operative complications, late stone-related events, stone free status, stone complexity were collected. Cronbach’s αwas used to evaluate internal consistency of IT-WISQOL, while Spearman’s rho was used for item and inter-domain correlations and IT-WISQOL with SF-36v2 correlation. RESULTS We found excellent internal consistency across all domains (α ≥ 0.88), particularly when the total score is considered (α = 0.960). Test–retest reliability showed excellent results for the total questionnaire (Pearson correlation value: 0.85). the Inter-domain association ranged from 0.497 to 0.786. Convergent validity was confirmed by a good correlation with subdomains of the SF-36v2 measures. CONCLUSION IT-WISQOL is a reliable tool to measure HRQOL in stone patients. It shows analogue characteristics if compared to English WISQOL.

“…Furthermore, genetic alterations associated with the underlying urinary metabolic abnormalities that lead to kidney stones, have also been described in recent years. (3)(4)(5) Assessing the stone-formers (SF) urinary metabolism is paramount, as it reflects, to an extent, dietary habits which provide information on hydration and acid-base status. Certain substances in urine work, whether as inhibitors or facilitators of stone aggregation and nucleation, the first steps of lithogenesis.…”

Objective: To investigate the correlations between abdominal aortic calcifications (AAC) and the underlying urinary metabolic abnormalities in stone-formers (SF). Methods: Patients with a 24 h urinary panel and computed tomography scan were included. The Kauppila Score (KS) was used to quantitatively assess AAC; clinical data and stone information were also recorded. The Spearman correlation was utilized. Results: A total of 54 patients were included, the mean age was 46.4±11.2, 75.9% were female, and 59.3% had AAC. Hypertension and AAC were associated (p=0.026), and the KS was higher in patients with hypertension. Hypocitraturia (98.1%) and hypercalciuria (16.7%) were the most frequent urinary abnormalities, but they were unrelated to AAC (p>0.05). The 24 urinary panel, blood biochemistry, stone burden and hardness, and body mass index were not correlated to the KS (p>0.05). Limitations: This work had the following limitations: its retrospective nature, a relatively small sample, and the lack of an automated informatics-based assessment of AAC. Conclusion: The link between cardiovascular diseases and kidney stones is still to be elucidated. Our finding differs from the other few studies reported on the literature, as no correlation was found between AAC and the urinary metabolic abnormalities in SF.
