There exists no previous survey, which maps the different practice patterns adopted. Our aim was to deliver a survey to evaluate the current status of practice patterns across different parts of the world regarding the management of stone disease in pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Through an iterative process, 19-item survey was devised. This contained the following five sections: (1) Demographics, (2) General items, (3) Diagnosis and Imaging, (4) Initial management, (5) Surgery. It was disseminated via social media and email chains.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 355 responses were collected, and the majority (66.2%) reported no established hospital protocol for stones in pregnancy. Ultrasound was the most popular first line imaging choice (89.9%) but 8% would choose non-contrast CT. The latter was also chosen as second line choicer in 34.6% as opposed to magnetic resonance imaging. A large proportion (42.5%) had requested CT in pregnancy previously. With equivocal ultra sound results, only 19.4% would proceed to ureteroscopy (URS) but 40.9% would opt for CT. Twenty-four\u201348 hours were the most popular (37.6%) time period to observe before surgical intervention. Ureteral stent and nephrostomy were regarded as equally effective, and 6 weeks was most popular frequency for an exchange. Most do not use fetal heart rate monitoring intraoperatively. A total of 3.94% had previously performed percutaneous nephrolithotomy during pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Practice patterns vary widely for suspected kidney stones in pregnancy and use of CT appears increasingly popular. This includes when faced with equivocal ultrasound results and instead of proceeding to ureteroscopy. Most hospitals lack an established management protocol for this scenario.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/end.2024.0012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,30]],"date-time":"2024-07-30T11:13:07Z","timestamp":1722337987000},"page":"1092-1096","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Management of Kidney Stones in Pregnancy: A Worldwide Survey of Practice Patterns"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4253-1283","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrick","family":"Julieb\u00f8-Jones","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway."},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway."},{"name":"EAU YAU Urolithiasis group, Arnhem, The Netherlands."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle J.","family":"Semins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Seitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy","family":"Krambeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Northwestern University School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Etienne Xavier","family":"Keller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Zurich University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Niall F.","family":"Davis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, Ireland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lazaros","family":"Tzelves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EAU YAU Urolithiasis group, Arnhem, The Netherlands."},{"name":"Department of Urology, Sismanogleio Hospital, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Geraghty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Beisland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway."},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00d8yvind","family":"Ulvik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway."},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mathias S\u00f8rstrand","family":"\u00c6s\u00f8y","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway."},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ewa","family":"Bres-Niewada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Roefler Memorial Hospital, Pruszk\u00f3w, Poland."},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, \u0141azarski University, Warsaw, Poland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2904-351X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B.
