Objective:

To investigate and address specific controversial issues in pediatric urolithiasis and standardize guidelines for clinical practice.

Key Findings:
  • Nine main themes encapsulating core controversial issues in pediatric urolithiasis were identified, highlighting critical areas for future research.
  • Existing guidelines vary significantly, necessitating a standardized approach to improve clinical outcomes.
  • A high level of consensus (95%) was achieved on identified issues through expert surveys, indicating strong agreement among specialists.
Interpretation:

The study underscores the urgent need for standardized guidelines in pediatric urolithiasis, considering the unique anatomical and physiological differences in children compared to adults.

Limitations:
  • The study's findings are based on expert opinions, which may not encompass all clinical scenarios; further empirical research is needed.
  • Potential biases in guideline selection and expert participation could affect the outcomes; future studies should aim to include a broader range of perspectives.
Conclusion:

A consensus statement was developed to guide future clinical research and multicentric studies in pediatric urolithiasis, emphasizing the importance of addressing guideline discrepancies to improve patient care.
