The prevalence of calcified upper urinary tract stone disease in a random population--Cumbernauld Health Survey

R Scott et al. Br J Urol. 1977.

Abstract

It is difficult to obtain the true prevalence of stone disease in community. A proper random sample of a population has been studied and a figure of 3.83% of calcified stones have been found in 2,000 subjects. The significance of biochemical, bacteriological, skeletal and other surgical abnormalities is discussed. It is now possible to study individual groups within the population with respect to stone disease.
