Computational Analysis of Influencing Factors and Multiple Scoring Systems of Stone Clearance Rate after Flexible Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy
| S: stone size, the length × width of the largest cross-sectional area of stone in CT plain scan = cross-sectional area (mm2) | 1 points 0∼399 | 2 points: 400∼799 | 3 points: 800∼1599 | 4 points: ≥1600 |
| T: tract length, the distance measured from the center of stone to the skin on the cross section of CT (horizontal line, 45° line, and vertical line). | 1 point: ≤100 mm | 2 points: >100 mm |
| O: obstruction, degree of hydronephrosis | 1 point: no obstruction or mild hydronephrosis | 2 points: moderate or severe hydronephrosis |
| N: number of involved calices | 1 point: 1 renal caliceal involvement | 2 points: 2–3 renal calices involvement | 3 points: complete staghorn calculi |
| E: essence or stone density | 1 point: ≤950HU | 2 points: >950HU |
