Article Synopsis
- Pediatric urolithiasis is rare and usually linked to specific anatomical or metabolic issues, with this study examining emergency department (ED) admissions for renal colic among children and its potential relationship with climate.
- A retrospective analysis of ED visits from 2010 to 2020 found a total of 609 admissions, showing a general decline over the years, with peaks in 2012 and 2018.
- The research concluded that, unlike adults, seasonal variations and climate changes did not influence renal colic admissions in children, indicating different factors may be at play in this younger demographic.
