Predictive factors for spontaneous dislodgement of percutaneous nephrostomies for malignant ureteral obstruction
A significant association was identified between spontaneous PCN catheter dislodgement and both the psoas muscle index and ECOG performance status scores, while no notable relationship was observed with abdominal visceral or subcutaneous fat tissue volumes or abdominal perimeter. The risk of dislodgement was found to increase with reduced renal parenchymal and abdominal wall muscle thickness, as well as with more frequent nephrostomy replacements, suggesting these parameters may serve as useful markers for identifying patients at higher risk.
