Impact of an Advanced Information Management System on Postoperative Infection Prevention

Overview

This study demonstrates that full-process intelligent information management significantly reduces delayed stent removal and catheter-related urinary tract infections in patients with indwelling double-J stents following urinary tract stone surgery.

Background

Urolithiasis is a prevalent condition with a high recurrence rate and significant complications associated with double-J stents. Conventional management often leads to complications such as urinary tract infections and delayed stent removal. This study evaluates a novel management approach that integrates intelligent information systems to improve postoperative outcomes.

Data Highlights

Key Findings

• Full-process intelligent information management reduced delayed double-J stent removal to 0.00% compared to 10.00% in the control group.
• The rate of catheter-related urinary tract infections was 0.00% in the intervention group versus 12.00% in the control group.
• Patients in the intervention group had a significantly higher Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale (QDTS) score.
• The Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) score was significantly higher in the intervention group.
• Overall patient satisfaction was 96.00% in the intervention group compared to 82.00% in the control group.

Clinical Implications

Implementing full-process intelligent information management may lead to improved postoperative outcomes for patients with indwelling double-J stents. This approach could serve as a model for enhancing patient care and reducing complications in urological surgeries.

Conclusion

The study highlights the effectiveness of advanced information management systems in improving postoperative care and reducing complications in patients with urinary tract stones.
