Parallel comparison of R.E.N.A.L., PADUA, and C-index scoring systems in predicting outcomes after partial nephrectomy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To parallelly compare the applicability of the radius, exophytic/endophytic, nearness, anterior/posterior, location nephrometry score (R.E.N.A.L.), the Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for an Anatomical (PADUA), and the centrality index (C-index) scoring systems in predicting clinical outcomes after partial nephrectomy (PN).

Methods

We searched EMBASE, PubMed, Ovid, and Web of Science to perform a meta-analysis examining the correlation coefficients between three nephrometry scores (NSs) and warm ischemia time (WIT), estimated blood loss (EBL), operation time (OT), length of stay (LOS), and absolute change in eGFR (ACE) up to 25 January 2021.

Results

In total, 13 studies including 1496 patients met the criteria for further analysis. Overall, all scor
