Models to predict the surgical outcome of mini-ECIRS (endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery) for renal and/or ureteral stones

Abstract To establish a safer and more efficient treatment strategy with mini-endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS), the present study aimed to develop models to predict the outcomes of mini-ECIRS in patients with renal and/or ureteral stones.

description Abstract To establish a safer and more efficient treatment strategy with mini-endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS), the present study aimed to develop models to predict the outcomes of mini-ECIRS in patients with renal and/or ureteral stones. We retrospectively analysed consecutive patients with renal and/or ureteral stones who underwent mini-ECIRS at three Japanese tertiary institutions. Final treatment outcome was evaluated by CT imaging at 1 month postoperatively and stone free (SF) was defined as completely no residual stone or residual stone fragments ≤ 2 mm. Three prognostic models (multiple logistic regression, classification tree analysis, and machine learning-based random forest) were developed to predict surgical outcomes using preoperative clinical factors. Clinical data from 1432 ECIRS were pooled from a database registered at three institutions, and 996 single sessions of mini-ECIRS were analysed in this study. The overall SF rate was 62.3%. The multiple logistic regression model consisted of stone burden (P < 0.001), number of involved calyces (P < 0.001), nephrostomy prior to mini-ECIRS (P = 0.091), and ECOG-PS (P = 0.110), wherein the area under the curve (AUC) was 70.7%. The classification tree analysis consisted of the number of involved calyces with an AUC of 61.7%. The random forest model showed that the top predictive variable was the number of calyces involved, with an AUC of 91.9%. Internal validation revealed that the AUCs for the multiple logistic regression model, classification tree analysis and random forest models were 70.4, 69.6 and 85.9%, respectively. The number of involved calyces, and a smaller stone burden implied a SF outcome. The machine learning-based model showed remarkably high accuracy and may be a promising tool for physicians and patients to obtain proper consent, avoid inefficient surgery, and decide preoperatively on the most efficient treatment strategies, including staged mini-ECIRS.
