External validation of Imamura nomogram as a tool to predict preoperatively laser semi-rigid ureterolithotripsy outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS: We firstly validated Imamura nomogram in an European cohort study. It proved a reasonable accuracy (AUC 0.67) and a good PPV (83%). Further studies should confirm our results to support the routine clinical use of Imamura nomogram as a tool to predict ULT outcomes. PMID: 30547902 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
