Role of Clinical and Surgical Factors for the Prediction of Immediate, Early and Late Functional Results, and its Relationship with Cardiovascular Outcome after Partial Nephrectomy: Results from the Prospective Multicenter RECORd 1 Project

Surgically modifiable factors were significantly associated with worse immediate and early functional outcomes after partial nephrectomy while clinically unmodifiable factors affected renal function during the entire followup. Late renal function impairment is an independent predictor of postoperative cardiovascular events.
