Kidney stone disease: Practice patterns among urologists in Canada
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Despite kidney stone disease (KSD) guidelines, high-quality evidence for KSD management in Canada is lacking. We aimed to assess Canadian urologists’ practice patterns, preferences, and barriers in managing KSD. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was distributed to Canadian urologists via the Canadian Urological Association (CUA), Quebec Urological Association (QUA), and Canadian Endourology Group (CEG), as well as directly to urology departments nationwide.
Validation of the Patient Activation Measure in kidney stone disease patients
Abstract INTRODUCTION: We aimed to validate the Patient Activation Measure (PAM) within a kidney stone disease (KSD ) population, determine the variability of patient activation within this population, and characterize relationships between activation and variables such as health literacy, quality of life, and demographics. METHODS: This cross-sectional study includes individuals 18 years or older followed for KSD at University of Montreal Hospital Center.
Treatment modalities for small-sized urolithiases and their impact on health-related quality of life
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is often reduced in patients with urolithiasis. The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review to describe impact on HRQoL based on different modalities of treatment for small urolithiases with a diameter smaller or equal to 10 mm.

Clinical Applications of Machine Learning for Urolithiasis and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Systematic Review
Journal of EndourologyVol. 37, No. 4 Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Abstract Introduction: Previous systematic reviews related to machine learning (ML) in urology often overlooked the literature related to endourology. Therefore, we aim to conduct a more focused systematic review examining the use of ML algorithms for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or urolithiasis.
