Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factors influencing life-threatening complications during perioperative period in patients undergoing traditional cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder.

METHODS: To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 206 cases who underwent radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the significance of the factors such as age, amount of bleeding, pathological stage, effective supplement of albumin, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, operation duration, intestinal preparation, etc., on the occurrence of severe complications.

RESULTS: Among the 206 patients who underwent radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder, 22 cases (10.7%) had life-threatening complications (intestinal fistula, hemorrhagic shock, severe infection) during the perioperative period, and 9 cases died (mortality rate 4.4%). Logistic regression analysis showed that the elderly age, long operation duration, lack of effective supplement of albumin, diabetes mellitus are independent factors influencing the occurrence of life-threatening complications during the perioperative period of radical cystectomy with orthotopic ileal neobladder (P<0.05 for all), and are risk factors positively correlated with the severe complications.

CONCLUSION: The elderly age, long operation duration, lack of effective supplement of albumin, and diabetes mellitus are risk factors of the occurrence of life-threatening complications during the…

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 206 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
