Correction: SMART stone multidisciplinary team (MDT) and patient care: recommendations for the adult high-risk kidney stone patient pathway
Clinical Report: Multidisciplinary Team Approach for High-Risk Adult Kidney Stone Patients
Overview
This report summarizes the updated recommendations for managing adult patients at high risk for kidney stones using a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach. The article emphasizes the benefits of coordinated care among specialists to optimize patient outcomes.
Background
Kidney stones are a common urological condition with significant morbidity, especially in patients at high risk for recurrence or complications. Traditional management often involves isolated interventions, which may not address the multifactorial nature of stone disease. A multidisciplinary team approach integrates expertise from urology, nephrology, dietetics, and other relevant specialties to provide comprehensive care. Recent guidelines advocate for this collaborative model to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies.
Data Highlights
The article itself is a correction notice indicating the original publication is now Open Access under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. It does not present new numerical data but updates the publication status to enhance accessibility.
Key Findings
The SMART Stone MDT model facilitates coordinated care for adult patients at high risk of kidney stones.
Multidisciplinary collaboration improves patient pathways by integrating diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive measures.
Open Access publication of the recommendations increases dissemination and implementation potential.
The article underscores the importance of patient-centered care involving multiple specialties.
Licensing under Creative Commons allows broad use and adaptation of the guidelines.
Clinical Implications
Clinicians should consider adopting a multidisciplinary team approach when managing adult patients at high risk for kidney stones to enhance care coordination and outcomes. Access to these updated recommendations is now unrestricted, facilitating wider clinical application and education.
Conclusion
The transition to an Open Access model for the SMART Stone MDT recommendations supports broader adoption of multidisciplinary strategies in kidney stone management, ultimately aiming to improve patient care quality.
