American Urological Association (AUA) Guideline MEDICAL MANAGEMENT OF KIDNEY STONES: AUA GUIDELINE
نویسنده
چکیده
Methods: The primary source of evidence for this guideline was the systematic review and data extraction conducted as part of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Comparative Effectiveness Review titled Recurrent Nephrolithiasis in Adults: Comparative Effectiveness of Preventative Medical Strategies (2012). That report included rigorous searches of MEDLINE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Google Scholar and ClinicalTrials.gov for English-language studies published from 1948 through November 2011 relevant to recurrent nephrolithiasis in adults. To augment and broaden the body of evidence provided in the original AHRQ report, the American Urological Association (AUA) conducted additional supplementary searches of PubMed and EMBASE for relevant articles published between January 2007 and November 2012 that were systematically reviewed using a methodology developed a priori. In total, these sources yielded 46 studies that were used to inform the statements presented in the guideline as Standards, Recommendations or Options. When sufficient evidence existed, the body of evidence for a particular clinical action was assigned a strength rating of A (high), B (moderate) or C (low). In the absence of sufficient evidence, additional information is provided as Clinical Principles and Expert Opinions. While some of the statements in this guideline may be applicable to the pediatric population, this patient group was not the focus of our systematic review due to the limited number of relevant studies available.
