The preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in patients who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) for BC was identified as an independent prognostic factor for worse survival outcomes in previous small-scale, single-center studies. The aim of this study was to validate these findings in a large, multinational cohort. METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective study included 4335 patients who were treated with RC for BC. The cohort was stratified in two groups by preoperative SII using optimal cut-off determined by the Youden index. Uni- and multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses were performed, and the discriminatory ability of the models was assessed by area under receiver operating characteristics curves (AUC) and concordance-indices (c-index). The additional clinical net-benefit was assessed using the decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS: A high preoperative SII was observed in 1879 patients. The median follow-up was 42 months (IQR 18 - 85). On multivariable preoperative logistic regression, high SII was an independent predictor of lymph node metastasis (LNM; OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.07-1.42, p=0.004), pT3/4 disease (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.36-1.77, p<0.001) and non-organ confined disease (NOCD; OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.24-1.61, p<0.001). Addition of preoperative SII to a predictive model based on preoperative variables did not improve its accuracy. In preoperative multivariable cox regression, high SII was an independent prognostic factor for recurrence-free survival (RFS; HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.01-1.25, p=0.028), cancer-specific survival (CSS; HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.05-1.33, p=0.005) and overall survival (OS; HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.04-1.24, p<0.006). The addition of SII to a model including established preoperative variables did not improve its C-Index. In multivariable Cox regression including established postoperative variables, high SII revealed no association with any survival outcome. On DCA, the inclusion of the SII did not improve the net-benefit for clinical decision-making regarding LNM, pT3/4 disease or NOCD and survival outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed that preoperative SII in patients treated with RC is associated with features of biologically and clinically aggressive BC. However, it did not improve the discriminatory beyond established clinicopathologic features and failed to add clinical benefit for decision making. Together with a panel of complementary BM, it could help identify patients who would benefit from perioperative systemic therapy, more extensive surgical approach and from a closer postoperative follow-up.
