MP63-08 VALIDATION OF THE CAPRINI RISK ASSESSMENT MODEL IN RADICAL CYSTECTOMY PATIENTS

Validation of the Caprini risk assessment model in plastic and reconstructive surgery patients.

BACKGROUND The Venous Thromboembolism Prevention Study (VTEPS) Network is a consortium of 5 tertiary referral centers established to examine venous thromboembolism (VTE) in plastic surgery patients. We report our midterm analyses of the study's control group to evaluate the incidence of VTE in patients who receive no chemoprophylaxis, and validate the Caprini Risk Assessment Model (RAM) in plas...

Assessment of Perioperative Morbidity for Radical Cystectomy in Elderly Patients

Assessment of Perioperative Morbidity for Radical Cystectomy in Elderly Patients

Surgical apgar outcome score: perioperative risk assessment for radical cystectomy.

PURPOSE Currently objective perioperative risk assessment metrics are lacking for radical cystectomy. Using a simple 10-point scale similar to neonatal Apgar assessment we evaluated whether a surgical outcome score calculated immediately after radical cystectomy would predict major complications and mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified 155 consecutive radical cystectomies performed ...

Risk groups in bladder cancer patients treated with radical cystectomy

OBJECTIVE To stratify patients with bladder cancer into homogeneous risk groups according to statistically significant differences found in PFS (progression-free survival). To identify those patients at increased risk of progression and to provide oncological follow-up according to patient risk group. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of 563 patients treated with radical cystectomy ...
