Predictors for emergency readmission in patients with ureteral calculi: a focus on pain management and stone location.

Effective pain management and consideration of calculi location are important for predicting patient revisits. More research is required to validate findings, develop precise predictive models, and empower tailored care for high-risk patients. In patients with ureteral calculi in the ED, the number of analgesics given and stone location predict return visits. Proximal ureteral calculi on CT may require early urologic intervention to prevent pain-related revisits.
