ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To determine predictive factors for stent failure-free survival in patients treated with a retrograde ureteral stent for a malignant ureteral obstruction. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We retrospectively reviewed 71 patients who underwent insertion of a cystoscopic ureteral stent due to a malignant ureteral obstruction between May 2004 and June 2011. Performance status, type of cancer, hydronephrosis grade, location of the obstruction, presence of bladder invasion, C-reactive protein (CRP), serum albumin, and inflammation-based prognostic score (Glasgow prognostic score, GPS) were assessed using a Cox proportional regression hazard model as predicting factors for stent failure.RESULTS:
A univariate analysis indicted that hypoalbuminemia ( or =1 mg/dL; HR, 4.79; 95% CI, 2.0 to 11.1; p=0.001), and presence of a distal ureter obstruction (HR, 3.27; 95% CI, 1.19 to 8.95; p=0.021) were associated with stent failure-free survival. A multivariate analysis revealed that the presence of a mid and lower ureteral obstruction (HR, 3.27; 95% CI, 1.19 to 8.95; p=0.007), GPS > or =1 (HR, 7.22; 95% CI, 2.89 to 18.0; p=0.001), and elevated serum creatinine before ureteral stent placement (>1.2 mg/dL; HR, 2.16; 95% CI, 1.02 to 4.57; p=0.044) were associated with stent failure-free survival.CONCLUSIONS:
A mid or lower ureteral obstruction, GPS > or =1, and serum creatinine before ureteral stent insertion >1.2 mg/dL were unfavorable predictors of stent failure-free survival. These factors may help urologists predict survival time.Palavras-chave
