Purpose To investigate the impact of preoperative nutritional factors [body mass index (BMI)], hypoalbuminemia (< 3.5 g/dL, sarcopenia) on complication and mortality rates after radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer. Methods The PubMed database was systematically searched for studies investigating the effect of nutritional status on postoperative outcomes after RC. English-language articles published between March 2010 and March 2020 were reviewed. For statistical analyses odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) weighted mean was applied. Results Overall, 81 studies were included. Twenty-nine studies were enrolled in the final analyses. Patients with a 25-29.9 kg/m(2)BMI (OR 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-2.07) and those with a BMI >= 30 kg/m(2)(OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.29-2.40) had a significantly increased risk of 30 day complications after RC. Preoperative hypoalbuminemia increased the risk of 30 day complications (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.07-2.35); it was a predictor of worse 3 year overall survival (OS) (HR 1.86, 95% CI 1.32-2.66). Sarcopenic patients had a higher risk of 90 day complications than non-sarcopenic ones (OR 2.49, 95% CI 1.22-5.04). Sarcopenia was significantly associated with unfavorable 5 year cancer-specific survival (CSS) (HR 1.73, 95% CI 1.07-2.80), and OS (HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.13-2.25). Conclusion High BMI, hypoalbuminemia, and sarcopenia significantly increased the complication rate after RC. Hypoalbuminemia predicted worse 3 year OS and sarcopenia predicted unfavorable 5 year CSS and OS. Preoperative assessment of RC patients' nutritional status is a useful tool to predict perioperative and survival outcomes.

Abstract

Purpose To investigate the impact of preoperative nutritional factors [body mass index (BMI)], hypoalbuminemia (< 3.5 g/dL, sarcopenia) on complication and mortality rates after radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer. Methods The PubMed database was systematically searched for studies investigating the effect of nutritional status on postoperative outcomes after RC. English-language articles published between March 2010 and March 2020 were reviewed. For statistical analyses odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) weighted mean was applied. Results Overall, 81 studies were included. Twenty-nine studies were enrolled in the final analyses. Patients with a 25-29.9 kg/m(2)BMI (OR 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-2.07) and those with a BMI >= 30 kg/m(2)(OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.29-2.40) had a significantly increased risk of 30 day complications after RC. Preoperative hypoalbuminemia increased the risk of 30 day complications (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.07-2.35); it was a predictor of worse 3 year overall survival (OS) (HR 1.86, 95% CI 1.32-2.66). Sarcopenic patients had a higher risk of 90 day complications than non-sarcopenic ones (OR 2.49, 95% CI 1.22-5.04). Sarcopenia was significantly associated with unfavorable 5 year cancer-specific survival (CSS) (HR 1.73, 95% CI 1.07-2.80), and OS (HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.13-2.25). Conclusion High BMI, hypoalbuminemia, and sarcopenia significantly increased the complication rate after RC. Hypoalbuminemia predicted worse 3 year OS and sarcopenia predicted unfavorable 5 year CSS and OS. Preoperative assessment of RC patients' nutritional status is a useful tool to predict perioperative and survival outcomes.
