Comparison of major complications at 30 and 90 days following radical cystectomy
Urology Sep 24, 2020
Knorr JM, Ericson KJ, Zhang JJH, et al. - This study was sought to evaluate the time-course in which major complications occur after radical cystectomy and to describe associations with complications at 30 and 90 days. Researchers examined a database of radical cystectomy cases for preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative data. A total of 969 patients who had undergone radical cystectomy were included in the study. The results distinguished a significant number of complications occurring after 30 days post cystectomy, including the majority of deaths and genitourinary complications. The data revealed that the evaluation of complications exclusively at 30 days would fail to capture a large proportion of major complications and deaths. Understanding the time-course of complications post cystectomy will provide to better inform the design of further outcome trials.
