1. Abstract
1.1. Introduction: Urolithiasis has long been considered less frequent in children than in adults. However, daily clinical practice at the Regional Teaching Hospital of Ouahigouya seems to show that urolithiasis is more frequent in children than in adults. This study, the first of its kind at the Regional Teaching Hospital of Ouahigouya, aims to describe the epidemiological profile of urolithiasis in children based on hospital data.
1.2. Material and methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study over 4-year period from March 2017 to February 2021. We included all children under 15 years of age admitted to the CHUR of Ouahigouya for urinary lithiasis during the study period and having a complete medical record.
