Sixty-two patients were lost to follow-up. In total, 305 urologic patients were screened, of whom 199 fulfilled the inclusion criteria subsequently, 17 declined to participate and 9 had histological confirmation of an oncocytoma, which is definitively nonmalignant.
Results: In comparison with the patients with prostate cancer, those with kidney/distal urinary tract cancer had higher CCI scores (median, 3 vs 2 P 39 ☌) NuDESC score >2 cardiopulmonary complications (eg, acute respiratory distress syndrome, atrial fibrillation and other rhythm diseases, dyspnea, pleural effusion) musculoskeletal complications (eg, joint effusions) gastrointestinal complications (eg, meteorism, nausea, emesis, diarrhea, constipation) extraordinary pain (ie, Visual Analogue Scale score >5), and urogenital complications (eg, urinary stasis, urinary tract infections).Ģ.4. The relationships between CGA and complications, hospital duration, death rate, and baseline characteristics were analyzed. Further CGA tools were Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (iADL), Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Patients were divided into 2 groups: prostate cancer (n = 88) and distal urinary tract cancer (n = 29). Methods: After informed consent, 111patients were included, all aged more than 65 years, with oncological surgery (with proof of a malignancy), a Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score of at least 23 points, and a prospective life expectancy of more than 2 months. Objectives: This work aims to evaluatecomprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) tools to better guide patients with urogenital carcinomas perioperatively and, consequently, to intensify or reduce hospital resource use.
