In Progress

The ICHOM team is currently developing a Set of Patient-Centered Outcomes Measures for Kidney Stones, prioritizing patient-centered outcomes measurement for kidney stones patients to bring forth ground-breaking improvements in how kidney stones outcomes are measured and evaluated, ultimately enhancing patient care globally.

Under the leadership of Dr. Khurshid Ghani from the University of Michigan and Dr. Margaret Pearle from UT Southwestern, this initiative aims to enhance the global measurement and assessment of kidney stones.
The recruitment of clinical experts and patient representatives for the Working Group has been completed, and the development of the ICHOM Kidney Stones Set is officially underway following the successful completion of the kick-off call

We express our deep appreciation for the financial backing provided by our contributors, with whom contractual arrangements are currently being finalized.

If you have any questions about the ICHOM Kidney Stones Set, please email ICHOM Project Manager, Christina Nielsen, at c.nielsen@ichom.org
