CONTRERAS, Sebastián; DOMINGUEZ, Luis Carlos e VALDIVIESO, Eduardo. Lights and shadows in predicting choledocholithiasis: Opportunities for future research. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.4, pp.494-500. Epub 20-Abr-2022. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.773.
Secondary choledocholithiasis is a disease of high prevalence that involves diagnostic and treatment challenges; it implies a high use of resources and economic costs. There are significant knowledge gaps related to clinical prediction models, risk group classification, and patient treatment in secondary choledocholithiasis cases. Those gaps include diagnostic performance, variables, and risk thresholds, as well as cost-effectiveness for the use of non-invasive and invasive resources, and their application in special population groups. This study analyzes those knowledge gaps and outlines a guideline that could lead future research.
