Using validated patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, we examined the relationship between perioperative complications, readmissions, diversion-related consequences and prospectively assessed PROs after Cx. METHODS: Patients undergoing Cx were enrolled in a prospective complication and PRO study from 2014 to 2016 and followed for 12 months. Participants completed the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-36), Bladder Cancer Index (BCI), Patient Health Questionnaire for Depression (PHQ-8) and Decision Regret Scale (DRS). Perioperative complications within 90 days of Cx were abstracted from medical records using Clavien-Dindo classification and urinary diversion adverse events (AEs) were prospectively assessed and graded 6 months after surgery using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) standards. The association between perioperative complications, readmissions, 6-month AEs, and PROs were analyzed using multivariable regression models. RESULTS: 113 patients enrolled in this study and had complication and AE data available for analysis. 47% experienced a low grade (LG) and 22% experienced a HG complication. 35% were readmitted. 82% experienced a LG and 19% experienced a HG AE within 6 months. Improved performance status was associated with decreased HG 90-day complications (p=0.009). SF-36 mental health composite score was significantly positively associated with readmission (p=0.04), but not complication or 6-month diversion AE. There was no significant relationship between the presence of a HG 90-day complication, readmission, or 6-month AE and SF-36 physical health (p=0.21, 0.26, and 0.20 respectively), urinary (0.46, 0.20, and 0.86), bowel (p=0.62, 0.63, and 0.85) or sexual domains of BCI (p=0.35, 0.28, and 0.30), PHQ-8 (p=0.89, 0.32, and 0.44), or DRS at 6 months (p=0.15, 0.97, 0.31, Table 1). CONCLUSIONS: HG 90-day complications, readmissions and 6-month AEs did not negatively affect PROs or QOL after recovery from Cx. These data suggest that perioperative complications and AEs do not lead to long-term QOL deficits.
