About this study

Official title: Gram Stain of the First Urine After Intraoperative Renal Puncture in Predicting the Systemic Inflammatory Response After Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study

In this study, investigators compared the systemic inflammatory responses after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) patients who were given an expanded empirical antibiotic regimen based on the prediction of the possibility of bacteria identified by Gram staining the first urine after renal puncture and patients whose antibiotic regimen was not performed and whose antibiotic regimen was adjusted according to patient symptoms and culture results. Investigators aimed to test its diagnostic value in predicting and preventing complications.

Being tested
Gram staining of the first urine after intraoperative renal puncture to predict the systemic inflammatory response after percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
Keywords

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy of Gram stain in predicting systemic inflammatory response after percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

    Gram staining of urine after puncture to detect the presence of bacteria that are a possible source of infection according to the rate of gram-stained and non-gram-stained patients by microscopic examination.

    Measured: immediately after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change of antibiotic regimen after bacterial estimation of Gram stain

    The percentage of patients whose antibiotic regimen was changed by estimating bacteria after Gram staining did not progress to systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Systemic inflammatory response criteria: temperature less than 36 °C or higher than 38 °C, heart rate more than 100 beats per minute, respiratory rate more than 20 per minute, leukocyte count greater than 12 × 10 up 9/L or 4 × 10 up 9/L less than L, systolic blood pressure falling below 90 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure falling below 40 mmHg

    Measured: immediately after the surgery

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy of Gram stain in predicting systemic inflammatory response after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. (time frame: immediately after the surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
