Abstract
Using a measure of neighborhood “disadvantage” known as the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), Knorr et al report higher rates of post radical cystectomy morbidity/mortality among patients that live in the most socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. Several prior studies have evaluated the impact socioeconomic position (SEP) has on post-cystectomy outcomes. However, this study is unique in that the exposure tested extends beyond solitary measures of socioeconomic position (such as income or education) to a validated composite measure that also provides a more nuanced understanding of neighborhood dwelling absent in prior studies.
