Understanding the influence of demographic and clinical factors on urinary stone composition: A retrospective multivariate study in a diverse population

UroPrecision, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 161-168, September 2025.
Abstract Background Demographic and clinical factors significantly influence urinary stone composition; however, data from other Arabian Gulf countries still lack further exploration of these variables with the aid of multivariate analyses. This study aims to address this gap by conducting an in‐depth multivariate analysis of the demographic and ...
