Prediction of early (30-day) and late (30 –90-day) mortality after radical cystectomy in a comprehensive cancer centre over two decades

ConclusionsPatient-related factors predicted 30  M whereas both patient-related and cancer-related factors predicted 30–90 M. This suggests that patient mix, i.e. patient- vs. cancer-related factors for 30 M and 30–90 M, should be taken into account if mortality rates are to be compared between hospitals.
