| 10 | Can we predict the incidence of high-grade Clavien-Dindo complications in patients with forgotten encrusted stents undergoing endourologic management?显示文摘Objective:Ureteral stents are customarily inserted to facilitate urinary drainage,but they come with their own glitches of being forgotten and/or encrusted leading to serious consequences.The present study aimed to report the complications in patients with forgotten and encrusted stents according to the Clavien-Dindo system specific to urological procedures and identify the factors leading to high-grade(Clavien-Dindo Grade 4A or above)complications.Methods:The hospital records of patients with forgotten encrusted double-J stents over a period of 8 years were reviewed.The parameters recorded included patient demographics,indwelling time,need for percutaneous nephrostomy,hemodialysis,urine culture,blood culture,total blood counts,serum creatinine,radiologic findings,management techniques,number of surgical interventions,modified Clavien-Dindo complications,follow-up,and mortality,if any.Results:Forty patients were included in the study.The median age was 52(range 6-85)years.Of the total,25(62.5%)patients had a“significant”stent load;31(77.5%)had renal failure or acute kidney injury on presentation;19(47.5%)patients had sepsis at presentation.Among the patients presented with sepsis,11(57.9%)patients demonstrated a positive urine culture;and 7/11(63.6%)patients exhibited pan-resistant organisms.Twelve out of 40(30.0%)patients in our series developed high-grade Clavien-Dindo complications.On univariate analysis,sepsis at presentation(p=0.007),stent load(p=0.031),diabetes(p=0.023),positive urine culture(p=0.007),and stent indwelling time of more than 1 year(p=0.031)were found to be significant.On multivariate logistic regression analysis,sepsis at presentation(p=0.017)and positive urine culture(p=0.016)were significant predictors for high-grade complications.Conclusion:It is prudent to identify specific risk factors,namely sepsis at presentation and positive urine culture to triage and optimize these patients before surgical management. | Praanjal Gupta Ramanitharan Manikandan Lalgudi Narayanan Dorairajan Kodakattil Sreenivasan Sreerag Sidhartha Kalra Swapnil Singh Kushwaha | 2024 | Asian Journal of Urology2024，11，1： | 0 |
