ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

This study comprehensively evaluates the distribution patterns and antimicrobial resistance profiles of urinary pathogens in Preoperative midstream urine cultures collected from patients with urinary calculi in China over the last two decades.

Methods

A cross-sectional analysis of 41 studies was conducted. A systematic search across various databases, including Wanfang Data, CNKI, SinoMed, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science, was carried out, covering the time period from 2002 to 2022. Using R 4.2.1 software, a meta-analysis was performed to assess heterogeneity using Cochran's Q test and the I² statistic.
