To evaluate the decompression of the pelvicalyceal system between urologists and radiologists.
A survey was distributed to urologists and to radiologists comparing double-J stent (DJS), percutaneous nephrostomy (PN) and primary ureteroscopy (URS) for three clinical scenarios (1-febrile hydronephrosis; 2-obstruction and persistent pain; 3-obstruction and anuria) before and after reading literature The survey included perception on radiation dose, cost and quality of life (QoL).
Response rate was 40% (366/915). 93% of radiologists believe that DJS offers a better QOL compared to 70.6% of urologists (p = 0.006). 28.4% of urologists consider PN to be more expensive compared to 8.9% of radiologists (p = 0.006). 75% of radiologists believe that radiation exposure is higher with DJS as opposed to 33.9% of urologists. There was not a difference in the decompression preference in the first scenario. After reading the literature, 28.6% of radiologists changed their opinion compared to 5.2% of urologists (p < 0.001). The change favored DJS. In the second scenario, responders preferred equally DJS and they did not change their opinion. In the third scenario, 41% of radiologists chose PN as opposed to 12.6% of urologists (p < 0.001). After reading the literature, 17.9% of radiologists changed their opinion compared to 17.9% of urologists (p < 0.001), in favor of DJS. Although the majority of urologists (63.4%) consistently perform primary URS, only 3, 37 and 21% preferred it for the first, second and third scenarios, respectively.
The decision on the type of drainage of a stone-obstructing hydronephrosis should be individualized.
评估泌尿科医生和放射科医生在肾盂系统减压方面的差异。
对泌尿科医生和放射科医生进行了一项调查,比较了双 J 支架(DJS)、经皮肾造瘘术(PN)和原发性输尿管镜检查(URS)在三种临床情况下(1-发热性肾积水;2-梗阻和持续疼痛;3-梗阻和无尿)的应用,分别在阅读文献前后进行。该调查包括对辐射剂量、成本和生活质量(QoL)的感知。
应答率为 40%(366/915)。93%的放射科医生认为 DJS 比 70.6%的泌尿科医生提供更好的 QoL(p=0.006)。28.4%的泌尿科医生认为 PN 更昂贵,而 8.9%的放射科医生认为 PN 更昂贵(p=0.006)。75%的放射科医生认为 DJS 的辐射暴露更高,而 33.9%的泌尿科医生则认为 DJS 的辐射暴露更高。在第一种情况下,没有减压偏好的差异。阅读文献后,28.6%的放射科医生改变了他们的观点,而只有 5.2%的泌尿科医生改变了他们的观点(p<0.001)。改变倾向于 DJS。在第二种情况下,应答者同样更喜欢 DJS,他们没有改变他们的观点。在第三种情况下,41%的放射科医生选择 PN,而只有 12.6%的泌尿科医生选择 PN(p<0.001)。阅读文献后,17.9%的放射科医生改变了他们的观点,而 17.9%的泌尿科医生也改变了他们的观点(p<0.001),倾向于 DJS。尽管大多数泌尿科医生(63.4%)始终进行原发性 URS,但只有 3%、37%和 21%的医生分别在第一种、第二种和第三种情况下首选它。
结石性肾积水引流方式的选择应个体化。
