Association of the G8 score with urinary continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine the association between the preoperative G8 score and urinary continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Methods

This study included 1794 patients enrolled in SUPER-PC-RP prospective cohort who underwent RARP and completed G8 questionnaire preoperatively. Patients were classified into high (G8 score ≤ 14) and low (G8 score > 14) frailty groups. Continence recovery, defined as the use of less than one pad per day, was assessed three months and one year postoperatively. Factors affecting continence recovery were identified using multivariable logistic analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis evaluated continence recovery over two years according to frailty and nerve-sparing status.

Results

Overall, 649 and 1145 patients were assigne
