The purpose of this study was to assess patient frailty as a risk factor for radical cystectomy (RC) complications.
We performed an analysis of prospectively collected data of consecutive patients 80 years of age or older who underwent RC and ureterocutaneostomy in 6 primary care European urology centers. Frailty was measured using a simplified frailty index (sFI) with a 5-item score including: (1) diabetes mellitus; (2) functional status; (3) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; (4) congestive cardiac failure; and (5) hypertension, with a maximum 5-item score meaning high level of frailty. Within 90 days surgical complications were scored according to the Clavien Classification System (CCS). sFI ≥3 was considered as poor frailty status. Clinical and pathological variables were analyzed as predictors of severe complications (CCS ≥3).
One hundred seventeen patients were enrolled. Most patients reported an sFI score of 2 and 3, respectively, 31/117 (26.5%) and 45/117 patients (38.5%). CCS ≥3 occurred in 17/117 patients (14.5%). Patients with sFI ≥3 were significantly older than patients with sFI <3 (median age, 85 years [interquartile range (IQR), 82-86] versus 82 years [IQR, 80-84]; P = .001). Most CCS ≥3 scores occurred in patients with sFI ≥3: 13 (11.1%) versus 4 (3.4%; P = .02). No significative differences were detected in terms of length of hospital stay, pathological stage, and postoperative bowel canalization when related to sFI. sFI ≥3 was an independent risk factor of CCS ≥3 in univariate and multivariate analysis (respectively, odds ratio [OR], 3.81 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.16-12.5; P = .02] and OR, 3.1 [95% CI, 0.7-13.7; P = .01]). Body mass index, age, American Society of Anesthesiologists score ≥3, and pathological stage were not related to CCS ≥3.
RC appears feasible in elderly patients with an sFI <3. In cases of sFI ≥3, this choice should be carefully valued, discussed, and possibly avoided because of a higher risk of complications.
本研究旨在评估患者虚弱程度作为根治性膀胱切除术(RC)并发症的风险因素。
我们对 6 个初级保健欧洲泌尿科中心连续接受 RC 和输尿管皮造口术的 80 岁或以上患者的前瞻性收集数据进行了分析。使用简化的虚弱指数(sFI)测量虚弱程度,该指数包含 5 个项目:(1)糖尿病;(2)功能状态;(3)慢性阻塞性肺疾病;(4)充血性心力衰竭;和(5)高血压,最高得分为 5 分,表示虚弱程度高。90 天内,根据 Clavien 分类系统(CCS)对手术并发症进行评分。sFI≥3 被认为是虚弱状态不佳。分析临床和病理变量作为严重并发症(CCS≥3)的预测因素。
共纳入 117 例患者。大多数患者的 sFI 评分分别为 2 和 3,分别为 31/117(26.5%)和 45/117 例(38.5%)。17/117 例(14.5%)患者发生 CCS≥3。sFI≥3 的患者明显比 sFI<3 的患者年龄大(中位数年龄为 85 岁[四分位距(IQR),82-86]比 82 岁[IQR,80-84];P=.001)。大多数 CCS≥3 评分发生在 sFI≥3 的患者中:13 例(11.1%)比 4 例(3.4%);P=.02)。sFI 与住院时间、病理分期和术后肠道通畅情况无关。在单变量和多变量分析中,sFI≥3 是 CCS≥3 的独立危险因素(分别为优势比[OR],3.81[95%置信区间(CI),1.16-12.5;P=.02]和 OR,3.1[95% CI,0.7-13.7;P=.01])。体重指数、年龄、美国麻醉医师协会评分≥3 和病理分期与 CCS≥3 无关。
RC 似乎可用于 sFI<3 的老年患者。对于 sFI≥3 的情况,应仔细评估、讨论并可能避免选择 RC,因为并发症风险较高。
