PURPOSE: We identified and quantified prognostic factors for @entity2885 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: The clinical information, laboratory data and radiological findings from 38 @entity1 with @entity2885 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the nonsurvivor and survivor groups with respect to age, gender, @entity6 history, presence of @entity2259 , identity of infecting organisms, blood @entity413 level, leukocyte count, urinary white blood count, presence or absence of urinary tract obstruction or @entity1791 , and modes of treatment. There were significant differences between the nonsurvivor and survivor groups, however, with respect to platelet count (84,300 +/- 119,500 versus 220,400 +/- 161,800/mm.3, p = 0.001), serum @entity1011 level (3.61 +/- 1.25 versus 2.19 +/- 1.32 mg./dl., p = 0.003) and urinary red blood counts (56.47 +/- 41.86 versus 27.65 +/- 36.14, p = 0.028). @entity1 with radiological type I @entity2885 were significantly more likely to die than those with type II (69 versus 18%, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: Serum @entity1011 level is the most reliable predictor of outcome in @entity1 with @entity2885 . By calculating likelihood ratios, @entity1 with @entity1011 levels greater than 1.4 mg./dl. and platelet counts 60,000/mm.3 or less were at high risk. The posttest probability of death increased from 69 and 18% to 92 and 53% for type I and II @entity2885 , respectively. @entity1 with @entity1011 levels 1.4 mg./dl. or less and platelet counts greater than 60,000/mm.3 were at much lower risk. Posttest mortality risk in these @entity1 dropped from 69 and 18% to 27 and 4% for type I and II @entity2885 , respectively.
