Comprehensive assessment of risk factors for postoperative urinary tract infection following pediatric pyeloplasty.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeVariable patterns of perioperative management and postoperative drainage following pyeloplasty are utilized at our institution. We reviewed our patient population and practices to assess risk factors for postoperative urinary tract infection (UTI) following pediatric pyeloplasty.
methodsElectronic health records of patients who underwent open or robotic pyeloplasty from 2018 to 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics, perioperative characteristics, and postoperative UTI within 30 days were evaluated. Postoperative UTI was defined as symptomatic and requiring antibiotic therapy. Patients with concurrent conditions elevating risk for UTI and asymptomatic patients with positive cultures were excluded. Univariate and multivariate statistical analysis were performed.
results295 patients underwent pyeloplasty with median age of 13 months (IQR 3-91). Eleven (4%) patients had febrile UTI within 30 days of surgery. On univariate analysis, female gender (p = 0.007) and UTI history (p = 0.045) were significantly associated with risk for postoperative UTI. On multivariate analysis, only female gender (OR 4.5, 95% CI 1.2-17.3, p = 0.026) remained significantly associated. No other variables, including type of postoperative drainage and nephrostomy tube drainage prior to surgery, were associated with increased risk.
conclusionFemale gender and UTI history were significant predictors of postoperative UTI following pediatric pyeloplasty. This knowledge may help inform parents during preoperative counseling.
