NEW OPPORTUNITIES AWAIT!
We’re thrilled to unveil three pioneering projects that promise to shape the future of patient care. Dive in to discover how you can play a part in these transformative initiatives!
Validation study of the MIMIC Calculator for Predicting Spontaneous Stone Passage
Background: The MIMIC study has shed light on predictive factors linked with spontaneous stone passage (SSP) in patients presenting with acute ureteric colic. Despite the prevalence of such cases, there is a clear need for standardised tools that aid clinical decisions. The calculator, aimed at addressing this gap, is available for exploration here.
Aims: To validate the MIMIC calculator developed from the MIMIC study.
Commitment: Data collection for ~10 patients per site, approximately 2-4 hours.
Data Source: Electronic records and hard copy case notes.
Time-scale: Data collection over a specified period with a 6-month follow-up for stone passage assessment.
Sample Size: 200 patients across 20 sites.
Authorship Policy: Those collecting data on ≥10 patients will be included in all subsequent publications.

Ward Admission of Symptomatic Haematuria: an Observational Multicentre Study
This study will assess the management of patients admitted with haematuria to better inform best practices.
⏰ Duration: Opens 1st January 2024 for one year.
Background: Haematuria stands out as one of the leading urological challenges faced by healthcare providers. Astonishingly, about 14-15% of all emergency urology admissions are due to haematuria. Despite its frequency, the clinical approach towards haematuria remains inconsistent, not just in the UK but globally. The core of the problem? A stark lack of high-quality evidence to inform best practices. This vacuum has led to varied patient experiences, outcomes, and considerable strain on healthcare resources.
Primary Aim: Clearly define and document the existing practices in the management of inpatient haematuria, mapping out their outcomes.
Secondary Aim: Delve deeper to pinpoint factors tied to adverse patient outcomes and heightened resource usage.
