Abstract
PURPOSE To calculate the frequency of infection and acute urinary retention (AUR) following transperineal (TP) prostate biopsy at a single high-volume academic institution and determine risk factors for developing these post-biopsy conditions. METHODS Men undergoing TP prostate biopsy from 2012 to 2022 at our institution were retrospectively identified and chart reviewed. TP biopsies were performed with TR ultrasound (TRUS) guidance with anesthesia using a brachytherapy grid template. TRUS volumes were recorded during the procedure, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volumes were calculated using the ellipsoid formula. When available, MRI volume was used for all analysis, and when absent, TRUS volume was used. AUR was defined as requiring urinary catheter placement within 72 h post-biopsy for inability to urinate. Univariable analysis was performed and variables with p < 0.1 and/or established clinical relevance were included in a backward binary logistic regression to produce an optimized model that fit the data without collinearity between variables. RESULTS A total of 767 TP biopsies were completed in the study window. The frequency of infection was 1.83% (N = 14/767). The total frequency of AUR was 5.48% (N = 42/767). On multivariable regression, patients who went into AUR were five times as likely to develop infection (p = 0.020). Patients with infection post-TP biopsy were four times as likely to develop AUR (p = 0.047) and with prostates > 61.21 cc were three times as likely (p = 0.019). CONCLUSION According to our model, AUR is the greatest risk factor for infection post-TP biopsy. With regard to AUR risks, infection post-biopsy and prostate size > 61.21 cc are the greatest risk factors.

Abstract
STUDY AIMS To investigate safety and side effects of transperineal prostate biopsy without antibiotic prophylaxis. Secondary aim was to identify whether the number of cores influenced the occurrence of complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cohort of 184 patients undergoing perineal prostate biopsy without antibiotic prophylaxis from 2015 to 2017 was analyzed retrospectively. On average, 41 cores were taken via two perineal skin punctures. Demographic and clinical data were obtained from patients´ electronic medical records. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify predictors for complications with the following covariates: age, prostate specific antigen (PSA), prostate volume, Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score, history of prostatitis, therapeutic anticoagulation, risk factors for urinary tract infection, surgery duration, and the number of biopsy cores. Furthermore, we calculated chi-squared tests with post hoc analyses for differences in the occurrence of complications between quartiles of the above-mentioned parameters. RESULTS The overall complication rate was 10.8% (20/185). Out of 20, 19 (95 %) complications were ≤ grade 2 according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. There were two cases of afebrile urinary tract infection, and no patient developed fever or sepsis. Acute urinary retention was reported in 10 patients (5.4 %). The total number of cores was not associated to infectious complications or acute urinary retention rates. CONCLUSIONS Transperineal prostate biopsy without antibiotic prophylaxis is a safe procedure. Neither postoperative fever nor sepsis occurred. An increased number of cores through two skin punctures was not associated with more complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the influence factors of infection complications of transrectal ultrasound-guided transperineal prostate biopsy. METHODS A total of 2192 patients who underwent prostate biopsy under transperineal prostate biopsy were analyzed retrospectively from December 2010 to May 2020.We collected the clinical characteristics and the incidence of complications, and used univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to analyze independent risk factors for infection complications after transperineal prostate biopsy. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that the following factors were associated with the infection complications: diabetes, bacterial prostatitis, history of urinary retention, history of urinary infection, and number of cores. Furthermore, multivariate logistic analysis revealed that diabetes (OR 2.037, 95% CI 1.143-3.572, P = 0.021) and history of urinary retention (OR 2.563, 95% CI 1.284-3.901, P = 0.013) were independent risk factors for infection complications after transperineal prostate biopsy. CONCLUSIONS Patients with diabetes and history of urinary retention were more likely to have infection complications after transperineal prostate biopsy.

Abstract
Introduction: How to quantify the impact of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the quantified effect of the number of MetS components on the outcome of PCNL. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, consecutive 606 patients with idiopathic staghorn renal stones undergoing PCNL were included. The participants were divided into two groups: MetS(+) and MetS(-). The number of MetS components were calculated as 0 to 5. Primary outcomes were stone-free rate (SFR) and overall complication rate. Results: MetS, obesity, hypertension, increased triglycerides (TG), decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and diabetes mellitus were found in 24.1%, 38.1%, 70.0%, 29.9%, 34.5%, and 26.4% of the patients, respectively. SFR values were comparable between groups. MetS resulted in a higher rate of overall complication (p < 0.001, odds ratio [OR] = 2.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.67-3.69), blood transfusion, urosepsis, larger hemoglobin deficiency, and length of hospital stay. Multivariable analysis confirmed that fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (p = 0.033, OR = 1.164, 95% CI 10.22-1.348) and number of MetS components (p = 0.001, OR = 1.496, 95% CI 1.184-1.890) were independent risk factors, whereas HDL (p = 0.014, OR = 0.428, 95% CI 0.217-0.837) played an independent protective role. Compared with 0, having 3, 4, and 5 MetS components was associated with stepwise increase in complication rate (19.5% vs 34.2%, 41.5%, 62.5%, p = 0.027, 0.006, <0.001; OR = 2.1, 2.9, 6.9). Subgroup analysis showed that MetS(+) patients without complications were associated with lower systolic blood pressure, TG, and FPG (p = 0.010, 0.031, 0.002, respectively). Conclusions: The number of MetS components is the central predictor in assessing both inner severity of MetS and outer risk for PCNL. The number of MetS components is recommended to be calculated on a scale of 0 to 5. Three, four, and five MetS components increase risk for PCNL in a stepwise manner regardless of the presence or absence of obesity. MetS components should be controlled preoperatively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate biopsy complications and hospital admissions that could be reduced by the use of European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) risk calculators. MATERIALS AND METHODS All biopsies performed in the Rotterdam section of the ERSPC between 1993 and 2015 were included. Biopsy complications and hospital admission data were prospectively recorded in questionnaires that were completed 2 weeks after biopsy. The ERSPC risk calculators 3 (RC3) and 4 (RC4) were applied to men attending the first and subsequent rounds of screening, respectively. Applying the predefined RC3/4 probability thresholds for prostate cancer (PCa) risk of ≥12.5% and high-grade PCa risk ≥3%, we assessed the number of complications, admissions and costs that could be reduced by avoiding biopsies in men below these thresholds. RESULTS A total of 10 747 biopsies with complete questionnaires were included. For these biopsies a complication rate of 67.9% (7294/10 747), a post-biopsy fever rate of 3.9% (424/10747) and a hospital admission rate of 0.9% (92/10747) were recorded. The fever rate was found to be static over the years, but the hospital admission rate tripled from 0.6% (1993-1996) to 2.1% (2009-2015). Among 7704 biopsies which fit the criteria for RC3 or RC4, 35.8% of biopsies (2757/7704), 37.4% of complications (1972/5268), 39.4% of fever events (128/325) and 42.3% of admissions (30/71) could have been avoided by using one of the risk calculators. More complications could have been avoided if RC4 had been used and for more recent biopsies (2009-2015). Our findings show that 35.9% of the total cost of biopsies and complication treatment could have been avoided. CONCLUSION A significant proportion of biopsy complications, hospital admissions and costs could be reduced if biopsy decisions were based on ERSPC risk calculators instead of PSA only. This effect was most prominent in more recent biopsies and in men with repeated biopsies or screening.

Abstract
A systematic review to identify risk factors for prostate biopsy-related infection, preventative strategies, and optimal management of infectious complications was conducted. Significant risk factors for postbiopsy infection include urogenital infection, antibiotic use, international travel, hospital exposure, bacteriuria, previous transrectal biopsy, and resistance of fecal flora to antibiotic prophylaxis (especially fluoroquinolones). Patients at risk may benefit from an adjusted biopsy protocol comprising transrectal biopsy under targeted prophylaxis, and/or the use of rectal disinfection techniques or using a transperineal approach. Management of biopsy-related infection should be based on individual risk and local resistance profiles with input from multiple specialties.

Abstract
CONTEXT Prostate biopsy (PB) represents the gold standard method to confirm the presence of cancer. In addition to traditional random or systematic approaches, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided technique has been introduced recently. OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review of complications after transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided, transperineal, and MRI-guided PB. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We performed a systematic literature search of Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus databases up to October 2015, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Complications and mortality following random, systematic, and image-guided PBs were reviewed. Eighty-five references were included. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS The most frequent complication after PB was minor and self-limiting bleeding (hematuria and hematospermia), regardless of the biopsy approach. Occurrence of rectal bleeding was comparable for traditional TRUS-guided and image-guided PBs. Almost 25% of patients experienced lower urinary tract symptoms, but only a few had urinary retention, with higher rates after a transperineal approach. Temporary erectile dysfunction was not negligible, with a return to baseline after 1-6 mo. The incidence of infective complications is increasing, with higher rates among men with medical comorbidities and older age. Transperineal and in-bore MRI-targeted biopsy may reduce the risk of severe infectious complications. Mortality after PB is uncommon, regardless of biopsy technique. CONCLUSIONS Complications after PB are frequent but often self-limiting. The incidence of hospitalization due to severe infections is continuously increasing. The patient's general health status, risk factors, and likelihood of antimicrobial resistance should be carefully appraised before scheduling a PB. PATIENT SUMMARY We reviewed the variety and incidence of complications after prostate biopsy. Even if frequent, complications seldom represent a problem for the patient. The most troublesome complications are infections. To minimize this risk, the patient's medical condition should be carefully evaluated before biopsy.
