Identifying predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients with emphysematous pyelonephritis: insights from a large retrospective cohort.
Article in World journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate the predictors of in-hospital mortality of patients with emphysematous pyelonephritis (EP) by type of management.
methodsRetrospective data were collected on 176 patients with EP who had undergone treatment at our hospital between 2011 and 2019. Data collected included demographic characteristics, clinical presentations, management strategies, and survival rates. The independent variables with a p value < 0.05 in the univariate analysis were selected for multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the independent factors significantly associated with mortality.
resultsThe mean age was 59.1 ± 12.7 years. Among the cases, 143 were women (81.2%) and 127 had diabetes mellitus (72.2%). Urinary obstruction occurred in 61.9% of patients. The left kidney was affected in 80 patients (45.4%) and bilateral involvement was present in 7 patients (4%). There were 12 deaths (6.8%) within our cohort. Risk factors significantly associated with mortality include age (p = 0.002), bilateral involment (p = 0.003), shock (p < 0.001), thrombocytopenia (p = 0.016), and medical management alone (p = 0.003).
conclusionsOur study identified the key risk factors associated with the mortality in EP patients, including advanced age, bilateral kidney involvement, shock, thrombocytopenia, and medical treatment alone. These results reinforce the importance of early recognition and risk management to improve EP patients' outcomes.
