Aim <p>The prevention and management of recurrent kidney stones can be challenging and requires patients to modify their diet and daily rountines that impact their quality of life. Our study aims to describe the process of integrating consumer-prioritised topics and outcomes in guidelines on kidney stones to ensure patient relevance.</p> Methods <p>Two workshops were convened in Aotearoa New Zealand with people with kidney stones invited to identify topics and outcomes for inclusion in the guidelines. Flipcharts and transcripts were analysed thematically to identify the reasons for participants’ choices.</p> Results <p>The topics identified by the twenty-eight participants included education on nutrition, better diagnosis, and individualised nutritional and pharmacological management. Pain, equity of access, anxiety about recurrence, and life participation were identified as important outcomes to be included. Four themes (and subthemes) underpinning priorities were: unresolvable debilitating pain (complexity of exctruciating acute episodic pain, inadequacy of pain relief medication, frustrated by stigma associated with opioids), dissatisfied at delayed access to care (prolonged difficulties in diagnosis, struggling to obtain individualised care), inadequate knowledge to enable self-management (insufficient information on kidney stones, conflicting nutrition advice, cultural deficit), and limiting life participation (restricting life choices, psychological burden of kidney stones).</p> Conclusions <p>Participants identified topics that would support symptom management to improve quality of life and reduce the burden on families. Guidelines should provide essential, consistent and clear guidance, particularly on nutrition, to support self-management. Incoporating consumer priorities in guidelines can help to support decision-making and patient-centred care in kidney stones.</p>
