Özet

Introduction: Triple D score was recently developed for prediction of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) outcomes. However, it has not been validated. SWL in elderly patients results in lower success and higher complication rates. We aimed at externally validating Triple D score in a population >= 65 years of age.
