Summary of the clinical practice guideline for the management of urinary stones, third edition

This third edition of the Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Urinary stones (2023) has been developed under the leadership of the Japanese Urological Association, the Japanese Society of Endourology and Robotics, and the Japanese Society on Urolithiasis Research. This revision adheres to the Minds Manual for Guideline Development (2017) and incorporates new findings from a nationwide survey conducted in 2015, which highlighted the epidemiological characteristics of urolithiasis in Japan since the previous guidelines were published in 2013. A significant advancement in this edition is the systematic review (SR) methodology applied to formulate recommendations for 12 clinical questions (CQs). Both quantitative and qualitative SRs were performed, leading to recommendations determined through consensus among 21 members of the guideline development group. Additionally, nine algorithms were created to support clinical decision-making based on these findings. Topics not addressed by the CQs, considered as foundational knowledge, are outlined in an "Explanation of Related Matters" section, which includes 26 items. This article provides an overview of these guidelines. This section ensures that practitioners have access to comprehensive information, covering aspects of urolithiasis management beyond the scope of the systematic reviews. This article provides an overview of the guidelines, emphasizing their relevance and importance in improving the management and treatment outcomes for patients with urinary stones. The guidelines are designed to be a practical resource for clinicians, facilitating evidence-based care in the evolving landscape of urolithiasis treatment.

Abstract

This third edition of the Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Urinary stones (2023) has been developed under the leadership of the Japanese Urological Association, the Japanese Society of Endourology and Robotics, and the Japanese Society on Urolithiasis Research. This revision adheres to the Minds Manual for Guideline Development (2017) and incorporates new findings from a nationwide survey conducted in 2015, which highlighted the epidemiological characteristics of urolithiasis in Japan since the previous guidelines were published in 2013. A significant advancement in this edition is the systematic review (SR) methodology applied to formulate recommendations for 12 clinical questions (CQs). Both quantitative and qualitative SRs were performed, leading to recommendations determined through consensus among 21 members of the guideline development group. Additionally, nine algorithms were created to support clinical decision-making based on these findings. Topics not addressed by the CQs, considered as foundational knowledge, are outlined in an "Explanation of Related Matters" section, which includes 26 items. This article provides an overview of these guidelines. This section ensures that practitioners have access to comprehensive information, covering aspects of urolithiasis management beyond the scope of the systematic reviews. This article provides an overview of the guidelines, emphasizing their relevance and importance in improving the management and treatment outcomes for patients with urinary stones. The guidelines are designed to be a practical resource for clinicians, facilitating evidence-based care in the evolving landscape of urolithiasis treatment.
