TL;DR
The study identifies risk factors for infections after urological procedures in patients with initially negative urine cultures.
Contribution
The study identifies specific risk factors for post-procedure infections in patients with initially negative urine cultures.
Findings
Chronic kidney disease stage III-V is a significant risk factor for post-procedure infections.
Previous urinary tract infection within 3 months increases infection risk after urological procedures.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is associated with higher infection risk despite negative urine cultures.
Abstract
In this retrospective cohort, chronic kidney disease stage III-V (P = .005), history of previous urinary tract infection within 3 months (P < .05), Revised Cardiac Risk Index for preoperative risk ≥2 (P = .002), and percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedure (P < .05) were associated with risks of infections after urological procedures among patients with negative urine culture screening.
