ABSTRACT: Background
Long-term renal function after partial nephrectomy (PN) is difficult to predict as it is influenced by several modifiable and nonmodifiable variables, often intertwined in complex relations.Objective
To identify variables influencing long-term renal function after PN and to assess their relative weight.Design setting and participants
A total of 457 patients who underwent either robotic (n = 412) or laparoscopic PN (n = 45) were identified from a multicenter international database.Outcome measurements and statistical analysis
The 1-yr estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) percentage loss (1YPL), defined as the eGFR percentage change from baseline at 1 yr after surgery, was the outcome endpoint. Predictors evaluated included demo
