Global, Regional, and National Epidemiology of Pediatric Urolithiasis (1990-2021) and 2040 Forecast

To address the growing burden of pediatric urolithiasis, focusing on low-Socio-Demographic Index areas is crucial, prioritizing access to prevention and treatment resources to improve global child urological health.
