SIGNIFICANCE OF AGE ON PROGNOSIS IN PATIENTS TREATED BY EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE LITHOTRIPSY

(Purpose) To investigate the effect of patient age on the stone-free rate (SFR) in patients with urinary stones treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). (Patients and method) 138 patients with renal calculi and 463 patients with ureteral calculi were treated using the Siemens Lithost...

Zusammenfassung:(Purpose) To investigate the effect of patient age on the stone-free rate (SFR) in patients with urinary stones treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). (Patients and method) 138 patients with renal calculi and 463 patients with ureteral calculi were treated using the Siemens Lithostar Multiline. Multiple logistic regression was used to investigate the effect of age and other possible predicting factors, i. e., gender, location, size, side, grade of hydronephrosis, symptom at onset and history of urolithiasis, on the SFR at 3 months after treatment. (Results) The overall SFR was 77.2%. The SFRs of aged
