Outcomes of an enhanced recovery after radical cystectomy program in a prospective multicenter study: Compliance and key components for success
World Journal of Urology Mar 11, 2020
Llorente C, et al. - This study intended to examine the impact of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program on complications and length of stay (LOS) after radical cystectomy (RC) and to evaluate whether the number and type of components of ERAS play a key role on the decrease of surgical morbidity. A sum of 277 individuals prospectively included in 11 hospitals undergoing RC initially managed according to local practice (Group I) and later within an ERAS program (Group II). This analysis defined two main outcomes: 90-day complications rate and LOS. Researchers studied 90-day mortality, 30-day readmission and transfusion rate as secondary variables. After RC, complications, and LOS were not altered by the introduction of an ERAS program. They assumed that at least 15 measures should be used to maximize the benefit of ERAS
