Risk factors and nomogram for predicting urinary tract infection in patients with ureterolithiasis complicated with hydronephrosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease in urology and often occurs in patients with urolithiasis. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for UTI in patients with ureterolithiasis complicated with hydronephrosis, and to construct a simple and practical nomogram to predict the incidence of UTI for patients.

Methods

A total of 383 patients were enrolled from September 2019 to June 2022. The results from univariate and multivariate logistic regression showed the risk factors for predicting UTI and a prediction model was constructed. Subsequently, the differentiation, calibration, and clinical applicability of the model were estimated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA), respe
