What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This observational study investigates whether the ratio of the second to fourth finger length (2D:4D) is associated with urinary stone disease. Researchers will compare finger measurements between adults with kidney or ureteral stones and stone-free controls, all confirmed by CT scans. The study also examines whether this ratio relates to stone recurrence, burden, or bilaterality.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population will consist of consecutive adults undergoing non-contrast computed tomography at Malatya Training and Research Hospital during the study period. Participants with kidney and/or ureteral stones will constitute the case group. Participants without urinary stones on computed tomography and without a previous history of urinary stone disease or stone surgery will constitute the control group.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older * Provision of written informed consent * Undergoing non-contrast computed tomography at Malatya Training and Research Hospital during the study period * For cases: presence of at least one kidney and/or ureteral stone on non-contrast computed tomography * For controls: absence of stones in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder on non-contrast computed tomography * For controls: no previous physician-diagnosed urinary stone disease or history of stone-related surgery * Feasibility of bilateral second- and fourth-digit length measurements Exclusion Criteria: * Congenital deformity of the hands or fingers * History of hand or finger trauma, fracture, surgery, or amputation that may affect digit length measurement * Severe hand deformity, contracture, or advanced joint disease preventing reliable measurement * Incomplete, inadequate, or technically unreliable 2D:4D measurements * Missing essential clinical, demographic, or imaging data * Pregnancy * Presence of bladder stones * Urinary diversion, major urinary tract reconstruction, or a significant structural urinary tract anomaly
