Association of variation in contrast volume with acute kidney injury in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
The purpose of this study was to examine the national variation in acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence and contrast use among US physicians and the variation's association with patients' risk of developing AKI after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This cross-sectional study used the American College of Cardiology National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) CathPCI Registry to identify in-hospital care for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the United States.

Effects of physician payment reform on provision of home dialysis.
The investigators evaluated whether Medicare payment reform influenced dialysis modality assignment. They concluded that transition from a capitated to a tiered fee-for-service payment model for in-center hemodialysis care resulted in fewer patients receiving home dialysis.

External validation of the STONE score, a clinical prediction rule for ureteral stone: an observational multi-institutional study.
The STONE score is a clinical decision rule that classifies patients with suspected nephrolithiasis into low-, moderate-, and high-score groups, with corresponding probabilities of ureteral stone. The researchers evaluated the STONE score compared with physician gestalt. They concluded that in its present form, the STONE score lacks sufficient accuracy to allow clinicians to defer CT scan for suspected ureteral stone.
