The association of body composition with postoperative complications and length of hospital stay after radical or partial nephrectomy in patients with renal cell cancer: a multicenter population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Body mass index (BMI) and body composition have been associated with postoperative outcomes in oncological surgery. Evidence in renal cell cancer (RCC) is limited and inconsistent. Therefore, we examined BMI and body composition in relation to postoperative outcomes in patients with RCC.

Methods

We conducted a multicenter population-based historical cohort study including 801 patients with RCC treated with radical (79%) or partial (21%) nephrectomy between 2008-2012. Computed Tomography images at third lumbar vertebrae were assessed for skeletal muscle (SM) index, SM density, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) index and subcutaneous adipose tissue index (SATI). Multivariable multilevel logistic regression analyses were used to examine associations between BMI, body com
