Defining Factors Associated with High-quality Surgery Following Radical Cystectomy: Analysis of the British Association of Urological Surgeons Cystectomy Audit.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Radical cystectomy (RC) is associated with high morbidity.

Objective

To evaluate healthcare and surgical factors associated with high-quality RC surgery.

Design setting and participants

Patients within the prospective British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) registry between 2014 and 2017 were included in this study.

Outcome measurements and statistical analysis

High-quality surgery was defined using pathological (absence of positive surgical margins and a minimum of a level I lymph node dissection template with a minimum yield of ten or more lymph nodes), recovery (length of stay ≤10 d), and technical (intraoperative blood loss <500 ml for open and <300 ml for minimally invasive RC) variables. A multilevel hierarchical mixed-effect logistic
