A prospective observational study on the predictability of Triple-D score versus Quadruple-D score in the success rate of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of renal stones 1 & #8211;2 cm in diameter
Conclusion: Triple-D scoring system has been successfully validated as the SFR showed a parallel increase with every positive component. The Quadruple-D scoring system with a simple addition of stone location can further facilitate the validation of Triple-D scoring by increasing SFR, keeping the calculation simple and easy to use. These findings support the incorporation of Quadruple-D scoring system over Triple-D scoring system.
