Factors predicting postoperative febrile urinary tract infection following percutaneousnephrolithotomy in prepubertal children. Cilt:14.

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. Objectives 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. Study design 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 groupseninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessInflammatory response syndromeantıbıotıc-prophylaxısrısk-factorscomplıcatıonsmanagementpressureratesArticle14544844810.1016/j.jpurol.2018.04.010
