Abstract

To investigate prevalence and predictors of postoperative small bowel obstruction (SBO) and ileus in a large cohort of bladder cancer (BCa) patients treated with radical cystectomy (RC). All patients within the Nationwide Inpatient Sample who underwent RC for BCa between 2006 and 2012 were identified. First, prevalence of SBO and ileus was analyzed. Second, predictors of these bowel-related complications were identified using multivariable regression analyses. Third, the association between SBO, ileus, and length of stay was evaluated using logistic regression models adjusted for clustering. Prolonged length of stay was defined as hospital stay above mean stay of the population (>10 days). Fourth, the effect of SBO and ileus on mean inpatient cost of healthcare was examined. Of overall 41,498 patients, 1071 (2.6%) experienced SBO, and 11,155 (26.9%) experienced ileus. Predictors of ileus included age, male gender, black race, hospital characteristics, anemia, chronic pulmonary disease, drug abuse, hypothyroidism, fluid and electrolyte disorders, and neurological disorders (all p < 0.05) Predictors of SBO included male gender, Asian/Pacific islander race, hospital characteristics, congestive heart failure, fluid and electrolyte ...Continue Reading
