Early and Late Perioperative Outcomes Following Radical Cystectomy: 90-Day Readmissions, Morbidity and Mortality in a Contemporary Series

Abstract

Readmission rates after radical cystectomy are significant, approaching 27% within the first 90 days. Gender and age adjusted Charlson comorbidity index were independent predictors providing preoperative information identifying patients more likely to require readmission or possibly to benefit from a longer initial hospital stay.
