TLDR
There is no evidence of correlation between obesity and worse oncological outcomes after RC, and obesity should not be a parameter to exclude patients from cystectomy, but surgical settings need to be aware of higher short-term complication risks and obese patients should be counselled accordingly.
Abstract
Background/Aims/Objectives: To evaluate the influence of body mass index (BMI) on complications and oncological outcomes in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC). Methods: Clinical and histopathological parameters of pa-tients have been prospectively collected within the "PRO-spective MulticEnTer RadIcal Cystectomy Series 2011". BMI was categorized as normal weight ( = 25-29.9 kg/m(2)) and obesity (>= 30 kg/m(2)). The association between BMI and clinical and histopathological endpoints was examined. Ordinal logistic regression models were applied to assess the influence of BMI on complication rate and survival. Results: Data of 671 patients were eligible for final analysis. Of these patients, 26% (n = 175) showed obesity. No significant association of obesity on tumour stage, grade, lymph node metastasis, blood loss, type of urinary diversion and 90-day mortality rate was found. According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists score, local lymph node (NT) stage and operative case load patients with higher BMI had significantly higher probabilities of severe complications 30 days after RC (p = 0.037). The overall survival rate of obese patients was superior to normal weight patients (p = 0.019). Conclusions: There is no evidence of correlation between obesity and worse oncological outcomes after RC. While obesity should not be a parameter to exclude patients from cystectomy, surgical settings need to be aware of higher short-term complication risks and obese patients should be counselled - accordingly.

In-Hospital Outcomes after Radical Cystectomy for Bladder Cancer: Comparing National Trends in the United States and Germany from 2006 to 2014.

TL;DR: Higher patient age and lower annual hospital caseload were associated with increased mortality and longer LOS, and minimal-invasive surgery was associated with less blood transfusion and shorter LOS in the United States vs. Germany, raising the question of centralization of RC.

Association between blood pressure and BMI with bladder cancer risk and mortality in 340,000 men in three Swedish cohorts

TL;DR: In this article, the relation between obesity, blood pressure (BP) and mortality remains unclear, partially due to potential confounding by smoking, the strongest risk factor for BC, and not accounting for tumor stage and grade in such studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The comprehensive complication index is associated with a significant increase in complication severity between 30 and 90 days after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.

TL;DR: The cumulative morbidity (CCI) after RC seems to be higher than previously reported with CDC, especially over a 90-day period, and the CCI is an appropriate assessment-tool with an upgrade in morbidity in a significant proportion of patients when compared to the CDC.

Different models for prediction of radical cystectomy postoperative complications and care pathways

TL;DR: Predicting complications and factors leading to extended length of hospital stay and discharge to a higher level of care after radical cystectomy performs modestly, highlighting both the complex cyStectomy process and the limitations of large healthcare datasets.

Overweight, obesity, and mortality from cancer in a prospectively studied cohort of U.S. adults.

TL;DR: Current patterns of overweight and obesity in the United States could account for 14 percent of all deaths from cancer in men and 20 percent of those in women, and increased body weight was associated with increased death rates for all cancers combined and for cancers at multiple specific sites.

TL;DR: Obesity has increased at an alarming rate in the United States over the past three decades and the associations of obesity with gender, age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status are complex and dynamic.

Obesity and cancer risk: a danish record-linkage study

TL;DR: Overall, the incidence of cancer was increased by 16% in the cohort and the results were essentially unchanged by restriction to the subcohort of 8207 persons in whom obesity was the primary discharge diagnosis, and were also similar in the first year of follow-up after hospital discharge.
