Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to develop a machine-learning model to predict the risk of sepsis following retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for kidney stones, including data from 1,552 patients across 16 centers.* -
- Inclusion criteria for patients were specified, and certain conditions like concomitant ureteral stones were excluded, with antibiotic treatments used where applicable.* -
- The Random Forest algorithm outperformed other machine-learning models, achieving high precision, recall, and accuracy, and a web-based version of the predictive tool is available for use in clinical settings.*
Background And Objectives: We aimed at evaluating the impact of Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score on clinically significant decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with non-metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) undergoing radical nephrectomy (RN).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a multi-institutional cohort of 140 patients with ccRCC who underwent RN between 2016 and 2018 at three Urological Centers. The CONUT score was calculated with an algorithm including serum albumin, total lymphocyte count, and cholesterol.

This review explores the technological advancements, optimal application conditions, and benefits of targeted prostate biopsies facilitated by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI).
Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to compare traditional 12-core systematic biopsies guided by transrectal ultrasound with targeted biopsy techniques using mpMRI.
