ABSTRACT
Background: Prostate biopsy, is the only procedure to diagnose prostate cancer; however, complications may arise. Gross hematuria occurs in 50% of patients with a persistence of 3-7 days after the procedure. Although pre-surgical discontinuation of drugs that affect platelet function constitutes a routine practice, to our knowledge, there have been no studies showing that this practice is beneficial before ultrasound-guided prostatic transrectal biopsy.
Objective: To identify whether the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is a risk factor for gross hematuria after performing ultrasound-guided prostatic transrectal biopsy in patients with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer.
Material and method: A cohort study was done from July 1
st 2009 to July 1
st 2010 in which the association between the chronic use of NSAIDs and the prevalence of gross hematuria was assessed. Variables such as days with hematuria and chronic use of NSAIDs were obtained. Descriptive statistics was used and risk was determined with OR.
Results: Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs use was not a risk factor for macroscopic hematuria after performing ultrasoundguided prostatic transrectal biopsy. We found an odds ratio of 0.74 with a confidence interval from 0.53 to 0.88 at 95% having no statistical significance.
Conclusions: In this study, the chronic use of NSAIDs was not a risk factor for gross hematuria.
