  1. For quantitative measures (stone weight, BMI, parity, age of operation), the median and interquartile range are reported. Other measures are expressed as percentages. The family history refers to a positive family history of gallstones (either history of cholecystectomy or self-reported presence of gallstone based on previous sonography) in a first degree relative.
