For the pre‐post COVID pandemic comparison, patients reported lower adherence to all DRs after the start of the pandemic (5.0 vs. F/V intake was significantly lower during winter/spring than summer/fall (4.4 vs. We separated responses by their receipt: summer/fall (April to mid‐November) and winter/spring (mid‐November to April), and by pre‐ vs. nearly 5.5 d/week for all other DRs, P < 0.004). Overall, adherence to eating more F/V was lower (4.7 vs.
one‐time stone formers, nor for those on stone‐related medications vs. There were no differences in adherence for men vs. Of those providing clinical details, 77% were recurrent stone formers and 46% were on stone medication(s).
Results: Respondents (n = 132) represented 29% of patients who were sent questionnaires and were 50% female (61 ± 13 y). This was a quality improvement project patients were thus offered to respond anonymously. Questionnaires were sent by mail with postage‐paid envelopes for return. We asked patients to estimate the number of days within the last week they followed the most common DRs and, in a separate question, days they followed all DRs. Methods: From 1/2020‐1/2021 we invited patients to complete a questionnaire approximately 1 month after their appointment. We assessed adherence to individualized, targeted DRs issued in our multidisciplinary stone prevention clinic. Adherence is challenging to assess and optimally includes multiple measures including patient‐reported outcomes. Common dietary recommendations (DRs) include higher fluid intake, lower salt intake, lower dietary acid load (e.g., more fruits/vegetables, F/V), and normal calcium intake (neither excessive nor insufficient). Introduction & Objective: Nutrition therapy for stone prevention is indicated if risks are nutrition‐related.
