Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| •To assess the stent-related symptoms as different domain scores, as recorded by the USSQs in patients undergoing ureteric stenting. •To compare the USSQ scores between the stent sizes 5 Fr and 6 Fr in different domains like general health, work performance, sexual function, and global quality of life scores recorded by the USSQs. Timepoint: Different domain scores, as recorded by the USSQs in patients undergoing ureteric stenting at TWO TIME POPINTS: After 1 week of stenting (with stent in-situ) and 2 weeks after stent removal | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To analyze hydronephrosis, analgesics usage & post operative complications in stented patients. To compare the stone-free rates between 5 Fr & 6 Fr stent sizes. • To propose the ideal stent diameter to be used in patients after ureterorenoscopy Timepoint: 4 WEEKS | — |
