Scarce data about factors influencing displacement led to evaluation of our data in order to give better insight into this topic.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Patients and methods<\/jats:title>\n \n Patients admitted for percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) exchange between March 3\n rd<\/jats:sup>\n and October 3\n rd<\/jats:sup>\n 2023 were included in our prospective observational study aiming to determine possible factors influencing PCN displacement. Catheter type, number of sutures and patients\u2019 age over 70 years were analyzed. Descriptive statistics and Pearson\u2019s chi-square test were used; value less than 0.05 was determined as statistically significant.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n We included 57 patients (35 males; mean age 71.4 years) in the study. Loop catheters with strings were implanted 58 times and without strings 17 times. Fixation was achieved by 55 single and by 20 double sutures. 17 PCN (22.7%) were displaced in designated period. The mean time from PCN implantation to exchange was 4.16 months. Neither catheter type, number of sutures or patients\u2019 age significantly influenced PCN displacement (chi-square 0.57, 0.34 and 0.61, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n No significant difference in PCN displacement between two types of catheters and the number of fixing sutures was detected. Elderly patients had similar rates of PCN displacements as younger ones. The most important causes of PCN displacement remained probably patients\u2019 activity and a care for PCN during months after the implantation. Proper patients\u2019 education and care of the PCN are possibly the keys for long-term success.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2478\/raon-2025-0037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,18]],"date-time":"2025-07-18T06:59:27Z","timestamp":1752821967000},"page":"522-525","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The influence of catheter type, the number of sutures and patients\u2019 age on percutaneous nephrostomy displacement"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Dimitrij","family":"Kuhelj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Radiology Institute, University Medical Centre Ljubljana , Ljubljana , Slovenia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana , Ljubljana , Slovenia"},{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Novo mesto , Novo mesto , Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Sustersic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Radiology Institute, University Medical Centre Ljubljana , Ljubljana , Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Urban","family":"Zdesar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Occupational Safety , Ljubljana , Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026071215565077308_j_raon-2025-0037_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Goodwin WE, Casey WC, Woolf W.
