Sponsored by Region Skane · Observational
The goal of this observational study is to learn more about diagnostics in patients with suspected acute renal colic at the emergency department. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants are patients with symtoms of suspected acute renal colic at the emergency department in Helsingborg with an emergency CT within 24 hours.
Since October 2022 The National Guidelines in Sweden recommend emergency CT for patients with suspected acute renal colic at the emergency department. In May 2023 the Department of Urology implemented this new regime with emergency CT for these patients in collaboration with the Department of Emergency and the Department of Radiology. This study aims to evaluate the first year (May 2023 to May 2024) with this new regime. Data regarding these patients where gathered regarding decriptive data, data regarding the stone, interventions and follow up. The investigators aim to compare the data with data from a soon to be published (Scandinavian Journal of Urology) article evaluating the situation regarding these patients during one year 2018-2019.
509 studies on the registry are indexed under Kidney Calculi; 146 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 1,500 is above the median of 160 across 96 observational studies indexed under Kidney Calculi.
