Brief Summary

Calcium oxalate stone, the most common type worldwide, has a recurrence rate of around 50% in ten years. Therefore, identifying the underlying pathophysiological aspects via metabolic evaluation and suggestions for medical & dietary prophylaxis in calcium stone patients is of upmost importance. However, one of the greatest problem with metabolic evaluation and subsequent therapeutic advices is the patient compliance. Therefore, it is important to identify factors related to patient compliance for metabolic evaluation and medical & dietary prophylaxis in calcium stone patients

Detailed Description

Nephrolithiasis is an important health problem that can deteriorate the renal functions in long term and affects the patients' quality of life. One of the major problems about renal stones is the high rate of recurrence. Calcium oxalate stone, the most common type worldwide, has a recurrence rate of around 50% in ten years. Therefore, identifying the underlying pathophysiological aspects via metabolic evaluation and suggestions for medical & dietary prophylaxis in calcium stone patients is of upmost importance. However, one of the greatest problem with metabolic evaluation and subsequent therapeutic advices is the patient compliance. In the previous studies, even in case of a dedicated stone clinic, the drop out rate for preventive measures were over 37% per year. The patients' non-compliance may be related to a number of factors associated with the stone clinic, demographic characteristics of the patients, past medical history of the patients, and even the recommended tests and the therapeutic advices. Therefore, it is important to identify factors related to patient compliance for metabolic evaluation and medical & dietary prophylaxis in calcium stone patients Methods: Parameters to be recorded Age Gender Level of education - of stone episodes - of surgical intervention Type of surgical intervention History of SWL Concomitant diseases Other medications Type of metabolic evaluation (24 hour urine, spot morning urine, serum etc.) Drug for medical prophylaxis Dosage of medication (bid/tid, etc.) Side effects Dietary recommendations Compliance to metabolic evaluation Compliance to medical treatment Statistics: Patients will be grouped based on: compliance to metabolic evaluation compliance to medical treatment The parameters listed above will be compared between the groups with univariate analysis (logistic regression).

Study Design Info

ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on December 10, 2019

Conditions

Conditions usually refer to a disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury. In ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions include any health issue worth studying, such as lifespan, quality of life, health risks, etc.

Interventions

Interventions refer to the drug, vaccine, procedure, device, or other potential treatment being studied. Interventions can also include less intrusive possibilities such as surveys, education, and interviews.

Study Phase

Most clinical trials are designated as phase 1, 2, 3, or 4, based on the type of questions that study is seeking to answer:

In Phase 1 (Phase I) clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.

In Phase 2 (Phase II) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.

In Phase 3 (Phase III) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.

In Phase 4 (Phase IV) clinical trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.

These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration in the Code of Federal Regulations.
