Long-term urinary tract effect of ileal conduit after radical cystectomy compared with bladder preservation: a nationwide, population-based cohort study with propensity score-matching analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Ileal conduit urinary diversion (ICUD) is the most common procedure after radical cystectomy. Although complications have been reported, few patients with ICUD and bladder preservation controls have been available for long-term follow-up. This study compared the long-term effect of structural changes after cystectomy with ICUD to that in bladder preservation controls.

Design

A retrospective nationwide cohort study.

Setting

Data retrieved from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database.

Participants

The National Health Insurance database was explored for patients diagnosed with bladder cancer between 1997 and 2006. Only cancer-free patients without chemotherapy and other types of urinary diversion who lived for >5 years were included in the
