Descrição: Despite similar diagnostic effectiveness for renal colic, computed tomography (CT) is more resource intensive than point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS). We sought to compare Emergency Department (ED) length of stay (LOS) among patients with renal colic according to imaging modality utilized. We secondarily compared rates of infection, return ED visits, missed significant pathology, and urologic intervention. This was a 12-month (1/1/22–12/31/22) multi-site retrospective cohort study of all patients diagnosed with renal colic who presented to the ED on days when at least one patient had a billable renal PoCUS examination performed. Patients with a history of genitourinary malignancy, pregnancy, renal transplant, hemodialysis, single kidney, prior visit for renal colic in the previous 30 days, or an incomplete workup were excluded. Median ED LOS was compared using a Wilcoxon rank sum test, and the 95% confidence limits for the difference between medians was calculated. Secondary outcomes were compared using a Fisher's Exact test. Of 415 patients screened, 325 were included for analysis: 150 had CT alone, 80 had PoCUS alone, 54 had PoCUS plus CT, and 41 had neither. Median LOS for PoCUS alone was 75.0 (95% CI 39.3–110.7) minutes shorter than CT alone (231.5 vs. 307.0 min, p < 0.0001). Similar rates of infection, return visits, and missed pathology occurred across all groups (p > 0.10). Urologic interventions were higher in the PoCUS plus CT (25.9%) group compared to CT alone (7.3%), PoCUS alone (2.5%), and neither (7.3%), p < 0.0001. Among patients with renal colic, PoCUS was associated with shorter ED LOS compared to CT, without differences in infection rates, return visits, or missed pathology. Patients with PoCUS plus CT had a higher rate of urologic interventions, suggesting PoCUS may have a role in identifying patients who would most benefit from CT.
