Abstract
A defined set of preoperative risk factors is independently associated with greater mortality and hospital stay following radical cystectomy. The breadth of these factors suggests that complex case mix adjustment is mandatory when comparing outcomes. Implementation of novel processes directed toward minimizing patient risk has the potential to improve outcomes following cystectomy.
