Impact of neighborhood deprivation on bladder cancer outcomes: A regional analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neighborhood Deprivation (ND) indices serve as indicators of socioeconomic status and are recognized determinant of survival across multiple cancer types.

Objective

To determine the potential effect of ND on urothelial bladder cancer survival outcomes using a California-specific measure, the Healthy Places Index (HPI).

Methods

We queried our institutional database for patients who underwent radical cystectomy from 2013 to 2019. Patients were categorized into HPI quartiles based on their residential areas, with Q1 representing the most disadvantaged and Q4 the least disadvantaged. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify predictors of adverse pathological features. Multivariable cox regression was utilized to evaluate the association of HPI wit
