Abstract: Objective

To observe the influencing factors of infection-related complications of the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL),and to explore the relationship between the preoperative glycemic level and postoperative infection-related complications of the T2DM patients, and to provide the basis for the early prevention and treatment of infection-related complications of the T2MD patients after FULR.

Methods

A total of 83 patients diagnosed as urolithiasis with concurrent T2DM and received FURL were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into infection group and non-infection group according to whether or not infection occurred after surgery. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to examine the independent risk factors for the postoperative infections. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to define the well-controlled level of preoperative glycemic;based on the optimal cut-off value, the patients were divided into good glycemic control group (glycemic level≤7.7 mmol·L-1) and poor glycemic control group (glycemic level>7.7 mmol·L-1).The incidence frequency of postoperative infection-related complications and avarage postoperative hospital stay of the patients in two groups were compared.

Results

The univariate Logistic regression analysis results showed that the preoperative glycemic level, the stone diameter≥2 cm, preoperative urine routine leukocyte count ≥10/HP,the positive preoperative urine culture,and the operation time≥90 min were the independent influencing factors for the postoperative infection-related complications of the T2DM patients.The multivariate Logistic regression analysis reesults showed that the preoperative glycemic level,the operation time ≥90 min,the stone diameter≥2 cm,and positive preoperative urine culture were the independent influencing factors for the postoperative infection-related complications of the T2DM patients.The ROC curve analysis results showed that if the optimal cut-off value of the preoperative glycemic level was 7.7 mmol·L-1, the sensitivity to predict the postoperative infection-related events of the patients was 70.37%, and the specificity was 96.43%.The incidence frequency of postoperative infection-related complications and the average postoperative hospital stay of the patients in good glycemic control group were lower than those in poor glycemic control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion

The preoperative glycemic level, positive preoperative urine culture, operative time≥90 min and stone diameter≥2 cm are the independent influencing factors for the infection-related complications of the T2DM patients after FURL. When the preoperative glycemic level≤7.7 mmol·L-1 is used as the standard for good glycemic control, the incidence of postoperative infection can be effectively reduced and the postoperative hospital stay can be shortened.
