Objective: To investigate on prevalence of ureteral stent complications and its influencing factors in individuals with indwelling ureteral stents following urolithotomy. Methods: 376 patients with indwelling ureteral stent who were hospitalized in the comprehensive hospitals in northern Nanjing and the north of the Yangtze River from December 1st, 2019 to May 31st, 2022 were selected as subjects. The subjects were extubated with questionnaires, including overactive bladder symptom score(OABSS), quality-of-life index(QOL) scale, and ureteral stent symptom questionnaire(USSQ). Furthermore,clinical data were collected and disease characteristics were analyzed. Results: The 376 subjects had an average age of(42.18±9.29) years, with 257(68.35%) males and 119(31.65%) females. The average time of intubation was(22.19±7.10) days. OABSS scores showed 202 cases(53.27%) of overactive bladder(OAB), including 105 cases(27.93%) of mild OAB, 93 cases(24.73%) of moderate OAB, and 4 cases(1.06%) of severe OAB. Among the complications related to ureteral stents in patients with indwelling ureteral stents, nocturia accounted for 81.38%, followed by hematuria(77.66%), body pain(70.74%), incomplete urination(66.49%), frequency of urination(63.83%), pain in urination(61.70%), and urgency of urination(51.60%). Some patients had urinary incontinence(13.30%). What's more, 48% of patients felt that the quality of life was decreased. The results of univariate analysis showed that body mass index(BMI), stent diameter, daily water consumption, indwelling time and whether the distal stent crossed the midline of the pubic symphysis were risk factors for lower urinary tract symptoms; The diameter of ureteral stent and the presence or absence of the proximal end of the stent tube in the renal pelvis were risk factors for pain. Gender, preoperative urinary tract infection were related to the general health status score in USSQ. It was further found by multiple linear regression analysis that gender, BMI, diameter of stent, daily water consumption, indwelling time, whether the proximal end of the stent located in the renal pelvis and whether the distal end of stent crosses the midline of pubic symphysis were risk factors for ureteral stent complications in patients with indwelling ureteral stent. Conclusion: Urinary symptoms and pain caused by ureteral stents seriously affect patients' quality of daily life. In addition, secondary OAB is the main cause of reduced guality of life. Targeted selection of appropriate type and length of ureteral stents, ensuring that intraoperative placement of tubes are in place, and adequate health education can help to improve patients' quality of life. |
