This study explored the relationship between delays in definitive kidney stone surgery and the subsequent need for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) and/or staged surgical procedures. The findings revealed that delays in definitive stone surgery were associated with an increased likelihood of undergoing complex stone treatment.
Introduction and Objective: Prior literature had demonstrated increased stone burden and higher rates of staged surgery in individuals of lower socioeconomic status (SES). Low SES individuals are more likely to experience delays in definitive stone surgery after initial presentation to the emergency department (ED) for kidney stones. This study aims to investigate the relationship between delays in definitive kidney stone surgery and the subsequent need for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) and/or staged surgical procedures using a statewide data set.Methods: This retrospective cohort study gathered longitudinal data from 2009 to 2018 using the California Department of Health Care Access and Information data set. Patient demographic characteristics, comorbidities, diagnosis/procedure codes, and distance were analyzed. Complex stone surgery was defined as initial PNL and/or undergoing more than one procedure within 365 days of initial intervention.Results: A total of 1,816,093 billing encounters from 947,798 patients were screened, resulting in 44,835 patients with ED visits for kidney stones followed by a urologic stone procedure. Multivariable analysis revealed that relative to patients who underwent surgery within 1 month of initial ED visit for stone disease, patients were at increased odds of undergoing complex surgery if waiting >= 6 months (odds ratio [OR] 1.18, p = 0.022), >= 1 year (OR 1.29, p < 0.001), and >= 3 years (OR 1.43, p < 0.001).Conclusions: Delays in definitive stone surgery after initial ED encounter for stone disease were associated with increased likelihood of undergoing a complex stone treatment.
