Early Recurrence of Renal Colic: Predictive Factors
Sponsor: University of Monastir
Summary
Renal colic (RC) is a common pathology in emergency medicine, with a high risk of recurrence. Early recurrence remains a major concern, affecting up to 30% of patients, with around 84% of these recurrences occurring within two days of the initial episode , despite preventive measures, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological . The recurrence of RC varies significantly between individuals, and systematic evaluation may facilitate personalized treatment . Recurrence is likely influenced by multiple factors, and identifying these could help clinicians develop better preventive strategies.The main aim of our study was to identify factors predictive of early recurrence of RC pain after emergency department (ED) management.
