Factors predicting postoperative febrile urinary tract infection following percutaneous nephrolithotomy in prepubertal children.
Predictive tables and scoring systems can predict stone clearance. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding the prediction of complications during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), particularly in children, which remains under-researched. To our knowledge, no studies have evaluated the risk factors for febrile urinary tract infection (FUTI) after pediatric PCNL.
To assess the predictive factors of FUTI in prepubertal children after PCNL and determine whether any prophylactic cephalosporins are superior for decreasing the FUTI rate.
Data from 1157 children who underwent PCNL between 1991 and 2012 were retrieved from the multicenter database of the Turkish Pediatric Urology Society. Children >12 years of age were excluded, leaving 830 children (364 girls, 466 boys). Data were analyzed according to the presence of FUTI and compared between the FUTI and non-FUTI groups.
Mean age was 6.46 ± 3.38 years. Twenty-nine (3.5%) children had FUTI which was confirmed by urine culture. FUTI occurred more frequently in young children (5.5%) than school-age children (2.4%). In univariate analysis, there were significant differences between the FUTI and non-FUTI groups regarding age, cephalosporin subgroup (first, second and third generation cephalosporin), side of PCNL, staghorn stones, tract size, operative time, postoperative ureteral catheter usage, perioperative complications (SATAVA), and blood transfusion. Multivariate analysis revealed that age, side of PCNL, staghorn stones, tract size, operative time, and blood transfusion were independent predictors of FUTI.
The smaller tract size could cause FUTI with poor fluid drainage that may lead to elevate renal pelvic pressure and trigger bacteremia-causing pyelovenous backflow. Filling the calyx and renal pelvis by a staghorn stone and the resulting obstruction of fluid drainage may elevate intrarenal pelvis pressure. Longer operative time is likely to increase renal pelvic pressure over longer periods, which may account for FUTI after pediatric PCNL.
Younger age, right-sided PCNL, staghorn stones, mini-PCNL, longer operative time, and blood transfusion are risk factors for FUTI. First-, second-, and third-generation cephalosporins are equally effective for prophylaxis in prepubertal children undergoing PCNL.

Predictive Model for Systemic Infection After Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy and Related Factors Analysis.
Objectives: To investigate the factors associated with systemic infection after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and establish a predictive model to provide theoretical basis for the prevention of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and urosepsis correlate to percutaneous nephrostomy. Methods: Patients received PCNL between January 2016 and December 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. All patients were categorized into groups according to postoperative SIRS and urosepsis status. Single factor analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to determine the predictive factors of SIRS and urosepsis after PCNL. The nomograms were generated using the predictors respectively and the discriminative ability of was assessed by analyses of receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC curves). Results: A total of 758 PCNL patients were enrolled in this study, including 97 (12.8%) patients with SIRS and 42 (5.5%) patients with urosepsis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that there were 5 factors related to SIRS, followed by preoperative neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (odds ratio, OR = 1.721, 95% confidence interval, CI [1.116-2.653], p = 0.014), S.T.O.N.E. score (OR = 1.902, 95% CI [1.473-2.457], p < 0.001), female gender (OR = 2.545, 95% CI [1.563-4.144], p < 0.001), diabetes history (OR = 1.987, 95% CI [1.051-3.755], p = 0.035), positive urine culture (OR = 3.184, 95% CI [1.697-5.974], p < 0.001). And there were four factors related to urosepsis, followed by preoperative NLR (OR = 1.604, 95% CI [1.135-2.266], p = 0.007), S.T.O.N.E. score (OR = 1.455, 95% CI [1.064-1.988], p = 0.019), female gender (OR = 2.08, 95% CI [1.063-4.07], p = 0.032), positive urine culture (OR = 2.827, 95% CI [1.266-6.313], p = 0.011). A nomogram prediction model was established to calculate the cumulative probability of SIRS and urosepsis after PCNL and displayed favorable fitting by Hosmer-Lemeshow test (p = 0.953, p = 0.872). The area under the ROC curve was 0.784 (SIRS) and 0.772 (urosepsis) respectively. Conclusion: Higher preoperative NLR, higher S.T.O.N.E. score, female gender, and positive urine culture are the most significant predictors of SIRS and urosepsis. Diabetes history is the predictor of SIRS. These data will help identify high-risk individuals and facilitate early detection of SIRS and urosepsis post-PCNL.
