Timing of surgery (early versus delayed intervention)</h2><div id="ch7.s1.1"><h3>1.1. Review question: What is the most clinically and cost-effective length of time to manage people (adults, children and young people) with symptomatic or asymptomatic renal or ureteric stones conservatively before intervention (early versus delayed intervention)?</h3></div><div id="ch7.s1.2"><h3>1.2. Introduction</h3><p>The management of renal and ureteric stones is dependent on the site and size of the stone. It is known that stones in the ureter will pass spontaneously and the chance of this decreases with increasing size. The optimum length of time for “conservative” treatment is not known and there is no clear consensus on the time scale.</p><p>Once the decision has been made to treat there is no clear consensus as to whether it is clinically and cost effective to treat with a primary intervention, shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) or ureteroscopy (URS), or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), or to relieve the patients’ symptoms of pain /obstruction with a JJ stent before definitive treatment. This option for management allows the patient to be treated by a planned elective procedure but results in an additional procedure, a time delay in treatment and possible complications and quality of life issues. There is a wide variation in management with both options in UK practice. There is uncertainty about whether treating the stone at the time of the initial presentation (if appropriate) is more effective and reduces resource use, than discharging and treating as an elective procedure at a later point in time.</p></div><div id="ch7.s1.3"><h3>1.3.

Resource costs</h3><p>The recommendations made by the committee based on this review are not expected to have a substantial impact on resources.</p><p>Early intervention is likely to lead to substantial savings from downstream resource use avoided such as stents. It is recognised that there will be investment needed in order to reconfigure the system to allow early intervention, but the cost of implementing SWL for example has been identified in the surgery recommendations, and is a relevant cost here, but not an additional cost of implementing this recommendation.</p></div><div id="ch7.s1.7"><h3>1.7. Evidence statements</h3><div id="ch7.s1.7.1"><h4>1.7.1. Clinical evidence statements</h4><p>Three studies compared early versus delayed intervention in the adult, ureteric <10mm population. All three studies reported the outcomes stone-free state, ancillary procedures and retreatment, and showed a clinically important benefit of early intervention (3 studies; n=462-465). One study reported the outcome spontaneous stone passing and showed a clinical benefit of delayed intervention (n=271), and one study reported stent insertion and showed a clinically important benefit of early intervention (n=239). The quality of evidence ranged from Moderate to Low quality. This was due to risk of bias, and imprecision. There was also inconsistency for the stone-free state outcome.</p></div></div><div id="ch7.s1.8"><h3>1.8. The committee’s discussion of the evidence</h3><div id="ch7.s1.8.1"><h4>1.8.1. Interpreting the evidence</h4><div id="ch7.s1.8.1.1"><h5>1.8.1.1. The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>The committee agreed that spontaneous stone passing and surgical intervention required were the critical outcomes for this review.</p></div><div id="ch7.s1.8.1.2"><h5>1.8.1.2. The quality of the evidence</h5><p>The quality of the evidence in this review ranged from a GRADE rating of moderate to very low. This was due to presence of selection bias and outcome reporting bias, resulting in a high risk of bias rating. Additionally, the imprecise nature of the results extracted and analysed in this review further downgraded the quality of the evidence.</p></div><div id="ch7.s1.8.1.3"><h5>1.8.1.3. Benefits and harms</h5><p>Evidence for adults, children and young people with both symptomatic and asymptomatic renal or ureteric stones was searched for; however no evidence was identified for children, those with asymptomatic stones, or renal stones. The committee therefore agreed that the recommendations should only apply to those with adults with symptomatic ureteric stones.</p><p>The committee noted that as expected, the number of people spontaneously passing a stone was higher in the delayed intervention group, however this was not clinically significant, and the number of people experiencing this outcome was small. There were fewer stents inserted (post-surgery), fewer ancillary procedures and fewer retreatments in the early intervention group. There were also more stone free people following early treatment compared to delayed treatment. The committee noted that there was evidence from one study regarding early versus delayed URS, and evidence from 2 studies where the participants received SWL.</p><p>The committee considered the evidence for URS and noted that spontaneous stone passage was low compared to what would be expected in clinical practice. They further noted that a bigger difference between stone passage at 12 hours and 3 weeks would be expected. The committee also noted that this evidence was based on a study where early treatment was defined as URS performed within 12 hours, and discussed that this generally would not be possible in current UK clinical practice.</p><p>In terms of SWL, the committee noted that early treatment was within 48 hours of onset and 24 hours of referral, which was also likely to be within 48 hours of onset. The committee noted that although this may still not reflect current UK practice, other than those large centres which have lithotripters, it would be achievable providing there was increased access to equipment.</p><p>The committee discussed that although the evidence was from a population with a mean stone size less than 10 mm, this did include a range of stone sizes up to 20 mm, which may have impacted the results, especially given the small study sizes. They discussed that even within the less than 10 mm group there are differences in terms of the likelihood of stone passage and response to treatment with MET, for example a stone <4mm is more likely to pass spontaneously, whereas a stone of >7 mm is likely to require intervention.</p><p>Overall, the committee agreed that this evidence suggests that the earlier a stone is treated, the easier and more effective SWL is. They noted from clinical experience that this could be due to the position of the stone, as it may be earlier in its passage and therefore in the proximal ureter, and it is easier to localise proximal stones compared to distal stones. It may also be due to there being less swelling and inflammation around the stone, making the targeting of the stone easier and the shockwave more effective. They considered that this has important implications in terms of reducing the need for further treatment, and also in terms of patient quality of life. They noted that not everyone presenting with renal colic due to a ureteric stone would need surgical treatment within 48 hours. Only those who have ongoing pain that persists after analgesia and is not tolerated, or those who have a stone that is unlikely to pass spontaneously, should be offered urgent surgical treatment, due to concerns about prolonged pain, and potential damage to the kidney caused by the ureter being blocked. Those whose pain is managed with analgesia or whose stone is likely to pass are likely to be treated conservatively with medical expulsive therapy or watchful waiting, and may have surgery at a late date.</p></div></div><div id="ch7.s1.8.2"><h4>1.8.2. Cost effectiveness and resource use</h4><p>No economic evidence was identified for this question.</p><p>The interventions being compared are the same surgery at different time points. However, differences in cost could arise if some people pass their stone before the delayed intervention, and therefore some surgeries are avoided. On the other hand, there may be more complications from delaying surgery, in which case surgery could become more complicated and require more resource use.</p><p>The clinical review has shown that there were more stone free people in the early intervention group. This was more so with SWL than URS. The committee thought this was likely to be because of oedema from delay which makes the intervention more difficult. This would impact resource use from avoiding further treatment. There was also a clinically meaningful decrease in ancillary procedures, retreatment, and stents inserted in the early group. This would lead to savings and also a positive impact on quality of life from clearing a stone sooner, and avoiding disutility from having a stent. Currently, in practice some people (having URS) would have a stent inserted and have a planned procedure at a later date, hence why stents can be avoided from treating early. There was however no information on adverse events whilst the delayed group were waiting for their scheduled surgeries e.g. unplanned hospital admissions. Overall there was a benefit demonstrated of early intervention, and given the resource use avoided, quality of life benefit from more people being stone free, and the negative quality of life impact of stents – early intervention is likely to be a dominant strategy.</p><p>The committee opinion was that the evidence was strong enough to offer URS or SWL within 48 hours of diagnosis or readmission. However there were caveats to this as the populations in the studies were in secondary care who had presented acutely with renal colic. The committee discussed that everyone is likely to present acutely, however not all should have surgery within 48 hours, as some can be managed with pain relief, and also for others the clinician may feel the stone is likely to pass on its own and hence those patients may undergo a period of conservative management or MET (if indicated), and a decision to treat surgically may be made at a later point in time. Hence this recommendation is for those patients with ureteric stones who have either ongoing pain that is not tolerated, or a stone which is unlikely to pass, and as a result there are adverse event risks and concerns about potential kidney damage. The committee however did not want to caveat the recommendation with a particular stone size, as the studies in the review had a mean stone size of under 10mm, but the ranges were very large, therefore covering a broader population. It is also important to note that the population are also those having primary treatment, as those having failed a first treatment of URS would have a stent inserted. Also with regards to SWL, it is about the first session: as if services allow a first session to be completed in a timely manner, then these services would also benefit the patient for any retreatments.</p><p>These recommendations are likely to result in a change in practice because services would need to be reconfigured to allow more ring-fenced theatre space for example, for emergency surgery. Additionally for SWL; more equipment would be needed such as more responsive networks of mobile lithotripters or more fixed site machines or better organised referral systems. This may also have staff implications such as more staff required to operate equipment. This is likely to have a resource impact, but is also dependent on a number of factors; SWL has been recommended as the first line of treatment for several groups in the surgery review, in which case implementation of more (or improved) access to SWL can benefit multiple recommendations in the guideline. Additionally, there are likely to be large savings from treatments and stents avoided. As an estimate; there are around 20,000 URS procedures per year (GC estimate but also similar to HES/NHS reference cost figures). Not all of those would be for ureteric stones, but the majority probably are. If around 75% of these presented acutely as emergencies and if, as based on the clinical review, there is a relative risk of 0.24 of stent insertion, then around £11 million could be saved from stents avoided alone. This would go some way towards investment needed for equipment/staff/running costs.</p><p>In summary, the overall resource impact is unclear and depends upon the balance of savings and investment required to implement the recommendation.</p></div><div id="ch7.s1.8.3"><h4>1.8.3. Other factors the committee took into account</h4><p>The committee discussed that from a patient’s perspective, although there may be a benefit of delayed intervention in terms of spontaneous stone passage, this may not outweigh the potential impact on quality of life due to living with periods of severe pain for several weeks.</p><p>The committee discussed usual practice when making decisions on whether to delay surgery. If a ureteric stone was 4mm or less then it would be usual to wait for up to 6 weeks for the stones to pass, however the addition of MET may increase the chance of spontaneous passage. The chance of spontaneous stone expulsion decreases with stone size and varies between patients. Stones between 4-7mm have less chance of passing spontaneously and MET may help, but a period of observation 2-4 weeks is normal clinical practice. Stones larger than 7mm have less chance of passing, even with the addition of MET, and therefore people with these size stones may undergo a primary intervention.</p><p>The committee considered that children and young adults may spontaneously pass larger stones, therefore it would be reasonable to have a period of observation or conservative treatment before intervention. The evidence was only in ureteric stones so the recommendation is not applicable to people with renal stones. However, the committee noted that ureteric stones are associated with a higher risk of adverse events and are likely to be more painful compared with renal stones. It is however acknowledged that clinicians should treat renal stones based on size and urgency as they would any individual with a stone in any location.</p></div></div></div><div id="ch7.rl.r1"><h2 id="_ch7_rl_r1_">References</h2><dl class="temp-labeled-list"><dl class="bkr_refwrap"><dt>1.</dt><dd><div class="bk_ref" id="ch7.ref1">Etemadian

Clinical search literature search strategy</h4><p>Searches were constructed using a PICO framework where population (P) terms were combined with Intervention (I) and in some cases Comparison (C) terms. Outcomes (O) are rarely used in search strategies for interventions as these concepts may not be well described in title, abstract or indexes and therefore difficult to retrieve.

<p>Amended to be able to investigate whether treating the stone at the time of the initial presentation (if appropriate) is better than discharging and treating as an elective procedure. Defining early as 4 weeks was based on UK NHS practice, but did not address this question. The evidence that was found based on this was very limited and did not allow the committee to make recommendations. The committee were aware of other evidence that had been excluded because of these time definitions, and felt on reflection that the original protocol was too restrictive.</p>
|
|
<p>GIRFT project has suggested that best practice is a primary URS performed at the patients’ initial presentation.</p>

<p>A multidisciplinary committee developed the evidence review. The committee was convened by the National Guideline Centre (NGC) and chaired by Andrew Dickinson in line with section 3 of <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/article/pmg20/chapter/1%20Introduction%20and%20overview" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">Developing NICE guidelines: the manual</a>.</p>

The ultimate aim is to include economic studies that are helpful for decision-making in the context of the guideline and the current NHS setting. If several studies are considered of sufficiently high applicability and methodological quality that they could all be included, then the health economist, in discussion with the Committee if required, may decide to include only the most applicable studies and to selectively exclude the remaining studies.
