We fitted multivariate logistic regression models to examine factors associated with testing.RESULTS In total, 1848 children presented with an incident upper tract stone, of which 12.0% submitted a 24-hour urine collection. This percentage remained stable over the study period. Testing was more common among younger patients (P
