Summary

Continent urinary diversion offers the best quality of life after bladder cancer surgery. Factors like age, race, and treatment center influence its use, highlighting disparities in reconstructive surgery access.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Continent urinary diversion is often considered optimal for quality of life post-radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.
  • Understanding factors influencing reconstructive technique choice is crucial for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify patient and provider characteristics associated with the utilization of continent urinary diversion after radical cystectomy.
  • To evaluate predictors of reconstructive technique selection in bladder cancer patients.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of linked Medicare and National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data from 1992-2000.
  • Inclusion of 3611 patients who underwent radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.
  • Multivariate logistic regression to identify independent predictors of continent reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Continent diversion likelihood decreased with older age, African American race, and higher comorbidity.
  • Increased likelihood observed in males, those with higher education, and later surgical years.
  • Treatment at academic centers, NCI-designated cancer centers, and by high-volume providers significantly increased continent reconstruction rates.

Conclusions:

  • Demographic, socioeconomic, provider, and clinical factors predict continent urinary diversion utilization after radical cystectomy.
  • Disparities in access to this preferred reconstruction technique exist.
  • Regionalization of bladder cancer care may reduce disparities, but potential delays in care must be considered.
