Risk factors and interventions for post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy urinary tract infection in diabetic patients with renal calculi

Age ≥60 years, OT ≥90 min, FBG ≥10 mmol/L, and preoperative UTI are risk factors for post-PCNL UTI. Patients with these risk factors require enhanced perioperative nursing and targeted preventive measures. Furthermore, tailored interventions should be implemented to address their negative emotions, pain, sleep quality, and quality of life.
