Abstract
In most of the pediatric stone cases, SWL is the first-line treatment option. However, it is wise to define the patients who will benefit the most. Therefore, nomograms can be useful for this purpose. The nomogram in the present study revealed that gender, stone size, number of stones, age, location of the stone, and history of previous intervention were found to be the independent prognostic factors for assessing the stone clearance rates. This nomogram can practically be used to inform the parents, and for proper patient selection for SWL.
