The following data were collected: demographics, type and size of stone, intraoperative data, pelvic urine culture and urosepsis complications after the procedure. Association of factors with urosepsis after PNCL were identified using a binary logistic regression model with a bootstrap estimation.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Urosepsis complications occurred in 7 patients (9.2%). Mean (SD) of age was 54.4 (10.3) years. Of all patients, 2% with staghorn stone and 22% positive urine culture. Multivariable analysis indicated that staghorn stone (a OR =6.75; 95%CI: 1.59-28.63, p=0.01) and positive pelvic urine culture (a OR =7.51; 95%CI: 1.35-41.77, p=0.02) were associated with urosepsis after PCNL.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> There was no mortality after PCNL in this study. Staghorn stone and positive pelvic urine culture may be associated with an increased risk of urosepsis complication.</p> </div> </div> </div>}, number={1}, journal={Insight Urology}, author={Santanapipatkul, Krit}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={56–62} }
