Defining Morbidity of Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy Using a Standardized Reporting Methodology (original) (raw)

Background: Adverse event reporting is highly variable and nonstandardized in urologic literature, especially for robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). Objective: We sought to better characterize complications in patients after RARC using a standardized reporting methodology. Design, setting, and participants: Using a prospectively maintained, singleinstitution database, we identified 156 consecutive patients who underwent RARC with at least 90 d of follow-up. Complications were analyzed and graded according to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) system and were defined and stratified by organ system. Measurements: Logistic regression models were used to define predictors of complications. Cox proportional hazard modeling and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used to correlate complications and 90-d mortality.
