Incidence and Predictors of 30-Day Readmission in Patients Treated With Radical Cystectomy: A Single Center European Experience

Abstract

Previous studies showed high hospital readmission rates after radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer (BCa), however at the time results of a European series analyzing this event were still missing. Overall, 1090 consecutive BCa patients treated with RC at a single center between January 2002 and August 2012 were identified. Logistic regression analyses were used to test the association between covariates and 30-day readmission in the overall population and after stratifying according age at the time of surgery. Mean length of stay (LOS) was 19 days (median, 16 days), and the overall 30-day readmission rate was 12.2%. The most frequent reasons for readmission at 30 days were ileus (n = 15; 11.3%), lymphoceles (n = 11; 8.3%), wound infection (n = 10; 7.5%), and fever (n = 12; 9.0%). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, age (odds ratio [OR], 1.02; P = .04) and LOS (OR, 0.94; P < .01) were associated with 30-day readmission. However, when analyzed according age at the time of surgery, a beneficial effect from a longer LOS was observed only in patients older than 70 years (P < .003). In the first European series on the effect of 30-day readmission, our data showed that even with a relative high mean LOS, 30-day readmis...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
