Meta‑analysis of the effect of sexual intercourse on promoting the discharge of ureteral stone less than 10 mm
本研究检索并纳入了知网、万方、PubMed、Embase、Web of Science (WOS)及Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)中2023年5月31日前有关性行为促进输尿管结石排出的文献,提取排石率、排石时间及日需止疼药物剂次等数据,应用ADDIS 1.16.8进行贝叶斯网状Meta分析,应用STATA 16.0进行敏感性分析。
To systematically evaluate the clinical effect of sexual intercourse on ureteral stones less than 10 mm and to provide evidence‑based medical evidence.
Methods
2
We searched and included studies about the effect of sexual intercourse on the lower ureteral stone before May 31
2023
in CNKI
WanFang
PubMed
Embase
Web of Science (WOS)
and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)
and extracted some data (the stone‑removal rate
stone‑removal time
daily analgesic doses and so on) for further analysis using ADDIS 1.16.8 and STATA 16.0.
Results
2
A total of four randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies were finally included
with a total of 416 patients. Their stones were less than 10 mm in diameter and were divided into the conventional treatment group
sexual intercourse group (3‑4 times/week)
and tamsulosin group. The results of pairwise comparison showed that the stone‑free rate
stone‑free time
and daily analgesic dose in the coitus group were better than those in the conventional treatment group. The stone‑free rate in the coitus group was higher than that in the tamsulosin group
but the stone‑free time and daily analgesic dose were both higher in the coitus group than in the tamsulosin group. Sensitivity analysis showed that the results of stone‑free time and daily analgesic dose (the coitus group
vs
the conventional treatment group) were robust. Bayesian network meta‑analysis results showed that the model consistency and convergence were good. The stone‑free rate of the conventional treatment group was significantly lower than that of the coitus group and tamsulosin group. The stone‑free rate of the coitus group was significantly higher than that of the tamsulosin group. The daily analgesic dose in the conventional treatment group was significantly higher than that in the coitus group. The ranking results of stone‑free rate
stone‑free time
and daily analgesic dose showed that the coitus group
>
the tamsulosin group
>
the conventional treatment group.
Conclusion
2
For stones under 10 mm in the lower ureter
sexual intercourse 3‑4 times/week can promote their discharge
which may be an effective non‑surgical treatment.
