Brief 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.

Conditions

Renal Colic; Emergency Department Patient

Keywords

early recurrence, RC pain, emergency department

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• RC recurrence

  NRS score greater than 3 within the 7 days following inclusion and/or a return visit for the same complaint

  7 days

Study Arms (1)

prospective study of 878 patients

Other: phone call

Interventions

phone call OTHER

Included patients were evaluated on day 7 after discharge from the ED through a telephone call. This evaluation aimed to identify a recurrence of RC, defined as a NRS score greater than 3 within the 7 days following inclusion and/or a return visit for the same complaint

prospective study of 878 patients
