Adverse in-hospital outcomes in patients with paraplegia who undergo radical prostatectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To test for the association between paraplegia and perioperative complications as well as in-hospital mortality after radical prostatectomy (RP) for non-metastatic prostate cancer.

Patients and methods

We identified patients who underwent RP (National Inpatient Sample [NIS] 2000-2019), stratified according to paraplegia status. The NIS is an inpatient database that rests on data contributed by ~20% of community hospitals within the United States. Descriptive analyses, propensity score matching (PSM, ratio 1:10), and multivariable logistic regression models (LRMs) were used.

Results

Of 260 302 patients who underwent RP, there were 223 (0.1%) with paraplegia. The patients with paraplegia who underwent RP were younger (age 60 vs 62 years; P = 0.002) and more fr
