Abstract:Objective To analyze the severity of anxiety and depression after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) followed by sheath-guided rigid/flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with upper urinary tract stones and the risk factors thereof.Methods A total of 130 patients who underwent TURP surgery followed by sheath-guided rigid/flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy in our hospital from March 2016 to June 2022 were prospectively selected. The clinical data of all patients including age, marital status, income status, medical conditions, concerns about work, psychological states of family members, sleep quality, stone size, operative duration, intraoperative bleeding, concurrent infections, and postoperative urinary catheterization were collected. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) was used to evaluate the perioperative anxiety and depression status of all patients. The statistical analysis was performed via SPSS 22.0, and the risk factors were determined based on the multivariable Logistic regression models.Results There were significant differences in age, income status, medical conditions, concerns about work, psychological states of family members, sleep quality, stone size, operative duration, concurrent infections, and postoperative urinary catheterization between patients with and without anxiety and depression (P < 0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of marital status and intraoperative bleeding (P > 0.05). The multivariable Logistic regression analysis revealed that the age ≥ 75 years old [O^R = 4.387, (95% CI: 1.275, 10.339) ], income status < 5 000 yuan/month [O^R = 3.026, (95% CI: 1.078, 9.325) ], poor sleep quality [O^R = 3.982, (95% CI: 1.581, 6.959) ], concurrent infections [O^R = 4.873, (95% CI: 1.768, 7.521) ], and postoperative urinary catheterization [O^R = 6.923, (95% CI: 1.923, 11.587)] were risk factors for developing anxiety and depression in patients undergoing combined surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia with upper urinary tract stones (P < 0.05).Conclusions For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and upper urinary tract stones undergoing TURP followed by sheath-guided rigid/flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy, special attentions should be paid to patients with characteristics such as age ≥ 75 years old, income status < 5 000 yuan/month, poor sleep quality, concurrent infections, and postoperative urinary catheterization. In addition, relevant preventive measures should be taken to avoid the occurrence of anxiety and depression.
