Description
Banchao Shen and co-authors build and validate a screening chart for urinary stones in Laos in a 2026 study. Stone disease is rising in Southeast Asia, and low resource clinics lack quick risk tools. Their chart joins accessible setting, behavior, and clinical factors for in hospital risk sorting, with a long term aim of village level screening.
Records and surveys covered hundreds of adult inpatients at a Lao military hospital over one year. About one in four had stones. A variable selection method picked predictors, led by age band, sex, and rural living. Chart performance was judged by discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility, with external validation as the stated next check.
