Health-related Quality of Life After Robotic-assisted vs Open Radical Cystectomy: Analysis of a Randomized Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We compare health-related quality of life using a broad range of validated measures in patients randomized to robotic-assisted radical cystectomy vs open radical cystectomy.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed patients that had enrolled in both a randomized controlled trial comparing robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy vs open radical cystectomy and a separate prospective study of health-related quality of life. The prospective health-related quality of life study collected 14 patient-reported outcomes measures preoperatively and at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postoperatively. Linear mixed-effects models with an interaction term (study arm×time) were used to test for differences in mean domain scores and differing effects of approach over time, adjusting
