Aim  To assess the effect of preoperative blood glucose (POBG) levels on the length of stay (LOS) in patients with kidney stones undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).    Methods  We conducted a retrospective study of patients who underwent PCNL at the Zhongda Hospital of Southeast University from 2013 to 2019. The relationship between POBG level and LOS was investigated by dose-response analysis curves of restricted cubic spline function.    Results  We included 310 patients and divided them into three groups (&amp;lt;5.04, 5.04 to &amp;lt;6.88, ≥6.88 mmol/L) according to the POBG levels. Patients with POBG levels ≥6.88 mmol/L (adjusted odds risk [aOR] 1.67; 95% CI 0.83–3.33) had a 67% higher risk of LOS &amp;gt; 2 weeks than patients with POBG levels &amp;lt;5.04 mmol/L. A positive dose-response analysis curve was observed between POBG and the adjusted risk of LOS &amp;gt;2 weeks. Similar results were observed in the subgroups analysis.    Conclusion  We demonstrated that higher POBG levels were significantly associated with longer LOS in patients with kidney stones undergoing PCNL.
