Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Correlation of Hydronephrosis on Point of Care Ultrasound With CT Finding in Patients With Expected Renal Colic

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the overall sensitivity and specificity of hydronephrosis on point-of-care bedside ultrasound to identify hydronephrosis as compared to hydronephrosis found by CT.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Yale University

Current Primary Outcome: hydronephrosis bedside ultrasound [ Time Frame: Sept 2011-Jan 2013 ]

To determine the overall sensitivity and specificity of hydronephrosis on point-of-care bedside ultrasound to identify hydronephrosis as compared to hydronephrosis found on by CT.


Original Primary Outcome:

Current Secondary Outcome: hydronephrosis bedside ultrasound [ Time Frame: Sept 2011-Jan 2013 ]

To determine test performance characteristics of hydronephrosis on point of care ultrasound with the goal of incorporating POC US into a prospective rule for determining which patients with suspected renal colic require CT evaluation.
