Contemporary Attitudes and Practice Patterns of North American Urologists in Investigating Stone-Forming Patients-A Survey of Endourological Society Members.

Introduction: Recent evidence would suggest a low rate of metabolic assessment in stone formers, even in those deemed as high risk. We wished to assess the attitudes and practice patterns of metabolic work up in North American members of the Endourological Society as part of the management of stone-forming patients.

Methods: A 12-question online multiple-choice questionnaire (using Survey Monkey(®)) was distributed to all members of the Endourological Society through e-mail.
