MP5-18 A MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF OBESITY ON COMPLICATIONS AFTER ROBOTIC VS. OPEN RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY

Abstract

with RP outcome and whether expectations regarding functional outcomes were accurate. Multivariable logistic regression models were fit to identify the association between patient expectations, change in functional outcomes, and satisfaction. RESULTS: Overall, 87.9% of men were satisfied with their treatment outcomes following RP, and 81.2% and 52.9% responded that their expectations were moderately to extremely accurate for the urinary and sexual functional outcomes, respectively. The relationship between mean change in functional scores vs. patient satisfaction and expectations of functional outcomes vs. patient satisfaction are shown in Table 1. In a multivariate analysis, both lesser changes in functional scores and accuracy of patient expectations were independent predictors of patient satisfaction (Table 2). CONCLUSIONS: Both changes in functional status and accurate patient expectations are important predictors of long-term satisfaction following open RP. Evidence-based preoperative counseling and expectations management are critical to ensure long-term patient satisfaction following RP.
