Abstract
To explore the preference for diagnosing and treating renal colic during pregnancy among Chinese urologists. A questionnaire was designed using the Sojump® platform. WeChat, the largest social networking platform in China, was used to distribute the questionnaire to urologists at hospitals of all levels in China. In total, 110 responses were included. Of the respondents, 100.0% used ultrasound to diagnose renal colic during pregnancy, followed by magnetic resonance imaging (17.3%) and low-dose CT (3.6%). Phloroglucinol (80.9%) and progesterone (72.7%) were the most commonly used antispasmodics and analgesics. Opioid analgesics were not commonly used (12.7%). Most of the respondents (63.6%) indicated that no more than 20% of the patients needed surgical intervention. If surgery was unavoidable, 95.5% preferred temporary renal drainage, including ureteral stenting (92.7%) and percutaneous nephrostomy (2.7%). However, some respondents still preferred definitive stone treatment, such as ureteroscopy lithotripsy (3.6%) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (0.9%). Moreover, there were no differences in the choices of urologists with different professional titles regarding diagnostic tools, most therapeutic medications, or surgical methods (p > 0.05). Ultrasound is the preferred tool for diagnosing renal colic during pregnancy. Low-dose CT is still not widely accepted. Pregnant patients with renal colic are initially treated conservatively. Urologists prefer ureteral stenting when there are clinical indications for intervention.

[PMID: 37918980 DOI: 10.1016/j.purol.2023.08.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023]
Abstract
The acute situation, caused by an obstructive stone, is defined by a renal colic that may be uncomplicated, complicated, or at risk in specific conditions. Its management may be medical or require interventional treatment by extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, endoscopic removal, or ureteroscopy. METHODOLOGY: These recommendations were developed using two methods, the Clinical Practice Recommendations (CPR) and the ADAPTE method, in function of whether the question was considered in the European Association of Urology (EAU) recommendations (https://uroweb.org/guidelines/urolithiasis) [EAU Guidelines on urolithiasis. 2022] and whether they could be adapted to the French context.

Efficacy and Safety Analysis of Phloroglucinol in Combination with Oxytocin for the Induction of Labor in Women with Term Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM). COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2617075. [PMID: 35669368 PMCID: PMC9166937 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2617075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 04/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of phloroglucinol in combination with oxytocin in the induction of labor in women who had experienced term premature rupture of membranes (PROM). Methods. Data from 100 women who experienced PROM between December 2020 and December 2021 were retrospectively evaluated in this study. The puerperae were categorized into observation and control groups based on their uterine contraction regimens. The observation group consisted of 53 participants that had been treated with phloroglucinol in combination with oxytocin, and the control group consisted of 47 participants that had been treated with oxytocin alone. It was observed and compared in terms of the Bishop score before and after the administration of the puerpera to see which group had the best index. A study was performed after the drug was administered to examine its effects on the duration of labor (including the first, second, and third stages of labor), the mode of delivery (including natural vaginal delivery and cesarean section), the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes (fetal distress and neonatal asphyxia), successful labor induction, and complication rates. Results. Patients in the observation group had a significantly higher Bishop score after administration than those in the control group (
), although there was no difference between the two groups before administration. In comparison to the control group, the observation group had a significantly higher efficacy rate for drug administration (
), as well as a significantly lower occurrence of the first stage of labor (
), a higher rate of vaginal natural delivery and successful induction of labor (
), and a significantly lower incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes and complications (
). Conclusion. In conclusion, the use of phloroglucinol in combination with intravenous oxytocin in the process of promoting cervical ripening and induction of labor for women with PROM who are at term was investigated. This study could help women speed up cervical dilation, improve the cervical Bishop scores, shorten the total labour process, improve the effective rate of vaginal delivery, and be very safe, making it a good candidate for clinical promotion and application.
