Abstract: Background:With a high rate of recurrence, urolithiasis is a chronic disease that impacts quality of life. The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System is an NIH validated questionnaire to assess patient quality of life. We evaluated the impact of urolithiasis on quality of life using the NIH-sponsored PROMIS-43 questionnaire.Materials and Methods:Patients reporting to the kidney stone clinic were interviewed to collect information on stone history and demographic information and were asked to … Show more

“…Most of the evidence is focused on the limited aspects of clinical management. In spite of clear indications from the literature for the need to understand patient perspectives in a scientific way on patients' HRQoL (including the impact of disease and interventions), very few research groups have published peer-reviewed papers in this field [7][8][9][10][11][12]. This has made it difficult to evaluate and compare different treatments and technologies effectively.…”

“…Seven studies on the quality of life of patients with urolithiasis confirmed the decreased quality of life 19 . Although there are variations among studies, it can be argued that patients with urolithiasis have a lower quality of life in comparison to the general population [22][23][24] . According to the study of Bryant et al 16 , patients with urolithiasis have a significantly lower SF 36 score than the general US population in six out of eight domains of health.…”
