Association of obesity and different metabolic status with prognosis in patients with bladder cancer: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Patients with bladder cancer (BC) are at high risk for recurrence rates and readmission costs. However, the evidence about obesity and metabolic abnormalities on the BC prognosis was inconsistent. Our primary aim was to determine the impact of obesity and different metabolic status on the readmission risk in patients with BC.

Design and methods

We identified 16,649 patients with BC using the 2018 Nationwide Readmissions Database who were hospitalized from January to June 2018 and followed for 180 days. The primary outcome was 180-day readmission. The multivariate Cox regression analysis and ordered logistic regression were performed to analyze data.

Results

Obesity and metabolic abnormalities were associated with an increased readmission risk
