Predictors of failed same-day discharge in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in a Canadian universal healthcare system.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Same-day discharge (SDD) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been shown to be feasible and safe. In order to improve uptake of this ambulatory model in Canada, we aimed to update our experience of SDD after RARP and identify reasons for SDD pathway non-initiation and failure in a universal healthcare system.

Methods

A review of our prospectively collected database of patients undergoing RARP at a Canadian tertiary academic center from May 2021 to May 2023 was conducted. Binary logistic regression analysis determined predictors SDD pathway non-initiation and failure.

Results

We identified 387 patients, of which 198 were initiated on the SDD pathway. Of those initiated, 104 (52.5%) were successfully discharged home on the same day. Patient
