Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on the success of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) treatment.
Methods: This retrospective study includes data from patients who underwent ESWL treatment for kidney stones. A total of 196 patients who received ESWL treatment were included in the study. The data from these patients were thoroughly analyzed to examine the relationship between BMI (Body Mass Index) and ESWL treatment outcomes
Results: The findings indicate that BMI does not significantly affect the success of ESWL treatment. The treatment outcomes revealed no statistically significant difference in BMI between the successful and unsuccessful groups. These results suggest that BMI should not be considered a determining factor in ESWL treatment, and other clinical factors should be prioritized in treatment planning regardless of BMI. All statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS software, with a significance level set at p<0.05.
Conclusion: It was found that BMI does not have a significant impact on the success of ESWL in the treatment of kidney stones. These findings suggest that BMI should not be considered a primary factor in predicting ESWL outcomes.
