METHODS: Clinicopathological and survival data from 789 patients who underwent radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection between January 2007 and December 2020 were analysed. External validation was determined using regression coefficients abstracted from previously published data. COBRA score was applied to our sample and Cancer Specific Survival (CSS) Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves were performed. After adding LVI new CCS curves were plotted. RESULTS: A total 789 patients were analyzed, with median follow up of 32 months. Cancer Specific Mortality was 218 patients (27,6%). When COBRA score was applied to our cohort, the discriminatory power was found to have high precision with a c- index of 71% for the full model.Regression COX analysis showed Group 1 HR 0.36, IC (0.16-0.83), p=0.016; Group 2 HR 0, IC (0-1.77) p=0.94; Group 3 HR 0.51, IC (0.39 -0.67), p=0.001; Group 4 HR 1.67, IC (1.23-2.27), p=0.001; Group 5 HR 2.45, IC (1.51-3.99); p=0.001; Group 6 HR 2.01, IC (1.42-2.85), p=0.001; Group 7 HR 0.66, IC (0.09-4.73), p=0.682. KM curves for COBRA score in our sample are presented. When the LVI was added to the model, a poorer CSS was verified (Figure 1, without LVI vs with LVI). CONCLUSIONS: COBRA adequately identifies those patients with a higher risk of cancer mortality in our population. Furthermore, adding LVI information further improves the prediction. LVI could be further evaluated and eventually included in the prediction model.
