“…beeinflussen unterschiedlich das Ergebnis der Lithotripsie [1,5,54,58,64]. Jüngste Berichte zeigten, dass die infundibulopelvine Anatomie die SC nach ESWL determinieren kann [16,17,24,25,36,59,51,52,53,54,55,56]. Es blieb allerdings unbekannt, warum einige Patienten frei von unteren Nierenkelchsteinen werden und andere mit gleichen Steinmerkmalen und Nierenkelchanatomie keine Steinfreiheit erreichen können.…”

The purpose of this retrospective study was to define prognostic factors which determine the stone clearance (SC) for lower caliceal stones after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and to compare the prediction accuracy of artificial neural network analysis (ANNA) and standard computational methods. Since January 1995, 321 renal units in 310 patients with single or multiple inferior caliceal calculi of all sizes and compositions have been treated with ESWL (Lithotriptor: Piezolith 2500, Wolf company). The classification accuracy of ANNA in the test set was 94%, with a sensitivity of 95%, a specificity of 92%, and a receiver operating characteristic curve area of 0.966, results significantly better than those yielded by a logistic regression analysis (classification accuracy 77%, sensitivity 75%, specificity 81%, and ROC curve area 0.779). Patients with lower renal caliceal stones appear to have the best chance of successful ESWL when their body mass index (BMI) and urinary transport (UT) are normal, the infundibular width (IW) is 5 mm or more, and the infundibular ureteropelvic angle (IUPA) is 45 degrees or more. Stone size and composition, as factors of SC, are not statistically significant. After determining the angle, width, and UT in patients with optimal age and body mass suitable for ESWL, SC can be achieved irrespective of stone size and composition.
