Gross hematuria in nonagenarians admitted to a urological ward: prevalence, predictors, and outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe the trajectories of nonagenarians admitted to a urological ward and to identify risk factors for admission due to gross hematuria (GH) and its impact on discharge status.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study of nonagenarians admitted to a tertiary care center between 2014 and 2022 was conducted. Data on demographics, comorbidities, medication, and outcomes were collected. Frailty was assessed via the Canadian Study of Health and Aging Clinical Frailty Scale (CSHA-CFS). Multivariable Poisson regression was used to assess risk factors for GH-related admissions. Secondary endpoints included changes in discharge status and survival, analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and restricted mean survival time (RMST).

Results

Among 317 patients (median age 92 yrs [IQR
