Background: Radical cystectomy (RC) is the gold standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (BCa). Chronic liver disease (CLD) may predispose to worse in-hospital outcomes after RC and ileal conduit, but this association has not been investigated. The current study addressed this knowledge gap.
Methods: Descriptive analyses, propensity score-matching (PSM), and multivariable logistic and Poisson regression models were used to address BCa patients in the National Inpatient Sample treated with RC and ileal conduit (2006-2019).
Results: Of 15,104 RC and ileal conduit patients, 241 (1.6 %) had CLD at baseline. Compared with their non-CLD counterparts, the CLD patients exhibited significantly higher rates of adverse in-hospital outcomes in 9 of 13 categories, namely, acute kidney injury (AKI, Δ+12.0 %), overall complications (Δ+11.0 %), pulmonary complications (Δ+9.0 %), blood transfusions (Δ+8.0 %), prolonged hospital stay (Δ+7.0 %), infectious complications (Δ+7.0 %), critical care therapies (Δ+4.0 %), in-hospital mortality (Δ+3.6 %), and total hospital charges (THC, Δ+18, 042 US$) (all p < 0.05). After multivariable adjustment, CLD independently predicted higher rates of adverse in-hospital outcomes in the same categories, namely, in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR], 2.7; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.3-4.9), infectious complications (OR, 2.5; 95 % CI 1.6-3.8), AKI (OR, 2.1; 95 % CI 1.6-2.9), pulmonary complications (OR, 2.0; 95 % CI 1.4-2.8), overall complications (OR, 1.9; 95 % CI 1.7-2.9), critical care therapies (OR, 1.6; 95 % CI 1.2-1.9), blood transfusions (OR, 1.4; 95 % CI 1.1-1.9), prolonged hospital stay (OR, 1.4; 95 % CI 1.1-1.8), and THC (OR, 1.2; 95 % CI 1.1-1.4) (all p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Although CLD appears to predispose to higher rates of adverse in-hospital outcomes after RC and ileal conduit, it does not increase the rates of these outcomes in a prohibitive fashion.

Purpose Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the dominant subtype of renal malignancy, has a rising global incidence and mortality. While surgery is the standard of care for localized cases, adjuvant therapy aims to improve outcomes in high-risk postoperative patients. To quantify the clinical value of adjuvant pharmacotherapy, this systematic review and meta-analysis assesses its effect on overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with ccRCC.

Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted at a single high-volume center. Male bladder cancer patients who underwent IPFSS RARC with ONB were included.

The relationship between dietary biotin intake and cognitive function remains unclear. This study explores the association between biotin and dementia, and the mediating role of inflammation indicators. Dietary biotin intake was assessed via the 24-h recall questionnaire.

Background: Early diagnosis of malnutrition is essential for rapid decision-making regarding nutrition care to improve patient outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and to assess the association of GLIM with 1-year mortality and length of hospital stay (LOS) in patients admitted to an emergency department (ED).
Methods: Prospective cohort study conducted in the ED of a university hospital.

Background: Intravenous lipid emulsions are a key component of parenteral nutrition, and their fatty acid compositions may influence immune responses and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2020 to December 2022 compared clinical outcomes of hospitalized non-critical care patients receiving parenteral nutrition with either mixed oil or soybean oil lipid emulsions for at least 48 h. The primary outcome was a composite of the presence of pneumonia, urinary tract infection, or an intra-abdominal collection diagnosed within 14 days of initiating parenteral nutrition.
