Predicting the Probability of 90-Day Survival of Elderly Patients With Bladder Cancer Treated With Radical Cystectomy

Abstract

We developed a nomogram that provides individualized risk estimations to predict the probability of 90-day mortality, potentially enhancing preoperative counseling and providing clinicians with an added tool to individualize treatment decisions in this challenging patient population. These data suggest that albumin is a strong predictor of postoperative mortality and show the importance of assessing this variable before surgery.
