No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Background: The STONE score has traditionally been used as a clinical prediction tool to predict the presence of ureteric stones in patients presenting with renal colic. More recently, the CHOKAI score was introduced and found to have superior diagnostic accuracy on both internal and external validation.

Objective: Our study aims to externally validate and compare the use of both the CHOKAI and STONE score in a population of UAE patients presenting to the Emergency Department for renal colic.

Methods: Over a period of approximately 6 months, the study will follow Emergency Department Physicians at each institution and retrieve data from their encounters with patients presenting with renal colic. Parameters for both CHOKAI and STONE scores will be logged, extracted and matched against a reference standard of CT scan to compare diagnostic accuracy of both scores to predict the presence of ureteric stones in this population.

Goals: Evaluation of the findings will discern applicability of scores to the UAE population and contribute to reducing unnecessary radiation exposure.

To our knowledge, no studies have compared the use of these scores to diagnose urolithiasis in the United Arab Emirates. Furthermore, this will be the first study to externally validate the CHOKAI score outside of Japan using a controlled, prospective design.
