Complications leading to hospitalisation 12 months after brachytherapy or high-intensity focused ultrasound for localized prostate cancer: French national from the PMSI-MCO data, 2019 and 2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Prostate cancer can be treated using either brachytherapy or high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which are less invasive than surgery. Although both approaches have proved effective, few studies have looked at the specific causes of hospitalisation due to complications, following these treatments. The aim of this study was to compare the causes of hospitalisation.

Methods

A retrospective study was carried out examining the records of patients who had undergone brachytherapy or HIFU treatment for localized prostate cancer in 2019 and 2020, using the French national database: Programme de Médicalisation du Système d'Information - Médecine, Chirurgie, Obstétrique (PMSI-MSO). Data on post-treatment hospitalisations were analyzed.
