简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine if kidney stone patients who should have received metabolic tests (urine collection over 24-hours that determines the composition of urine) based on Canadian Urologic Association (CUA) guidelines did in fact receive them, and if these results were explained to them by their doctor.
详细描述
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the project is to determine whether metabolic workups are administered to Canadian kidney stone patients in accordance to CUA (Canadian Urologic Association) guidelines. Additionally, the study will look to evaluate whether the results of metabolic tests were sufficiently explained to patients by their doctors, and also whether or not patients would follow dietary or treatment plans to possibly prevent kidney stones based on these metabolic workups.
HYPOTHESIS:
The investigators hypothesize that the implementation of metabolic tests based on CUA guidelines is sub-optimal and that when they are prescribed, doctors do not adequately explain these results to patients. The investigators also hypothesize that patients would follow dietary and treatment plants to prevent recurrent stone formation based on these metabolic results - if they are prescribed to the patient.
