Preadmission antidepressant use and bladder cancer: a population-based cohort study of stage at diagnosis, time to surgery, and surgical outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Among cancer patients, prior antidepressant use has been associated with impaired survival. This could be due to differences in stage at diagnosis, in receipt of treatment, or in treatment complications. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to examine if preadmission antidepressant use in patients with bladder cancer is associated with tumor stage at diagnosis, rate of cystectomy, and surgical outcomes, including survival.

Methods

We performed a registry-based cohort study including all patients with incident invasive bladder cancer in Denmark 2005-2015. Exposure was defined as redemption of two or more antidepressant prescriptions one year before cancer diagnosis. We compared tumor stage using logistic regression, postsurgical inpatient length of stay using linear regression, and other outcomes using Cox regression. All results were adjusted for age, sex, comorbidity, and marital status.

Results

Among 10,427 bladder cancer patients, 10% were antidepressant users. At diagnosis, 51% of users and 52% of non-users had muscle-invasive disease. However, upon adjustment for age, sex, comorbidity, and marital status, users had lower odds of muscle-invasive disease (adjusted odds ratio 0.86 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.74-0.99)). Among patients with muscle-invasive disease, fewer users than non-users had surgery within three months (15% vs. 24%, adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 0.75 (95% CI 0.59-0.95)). Of 2532 patients undergoing surgery, 6% were antidepressant users. Postsurgical inpatient length of stay did not differ between users and non-users. The 30-day cumulative incidence of readmission was higher for users (41% vs. 33%, aHR 1.33 (95% CI 1.05-1.67)), while the 90-day incidence of postoperative procedures was 44% for users and 38% for non-users (aHR 1.18 (95% CI 0.93-1.51)). One-year mortality was comparable in users (15%) and non-users (14%).

Conclusions

Antidepressant use in bladder cancer patients was associated with less advanced stage at diagnosis and lower rate of cystectomy. After cystectomy, users had higher rate of readmission and postoperative procedures than non-users, but we found no difference in length of stay or one-year mortality. The results point to the importance of differentiated clinical care according to individual patient characteristics.

Project description:BackgroundMissing preadmission serum creatinine (SCr) values are a common obstacle to assess acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnosis and outcomes. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines suggest using a SCr computed from the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 75 ml/min/1.73 m2. We aimed to identify the best surrogate method for baseline SCr to assess AKI diagnosis and outcomes.MethodsWe compared the use of 1) first SCr at hospital admission 2) minimal SCr over 2 weeks after intensive care unit admission 3) MDRD computed SCr and 4) Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) computed SCr to assess AKI diagnosis and outcomes. We then performed multilinear regression models to predict preadmission SCr and imputation strategies to assess AKI diagnosis.ResultsOur one-year retrospective cohort study included 1001 critically ill adults; 498 of them had preadmission SCr values. In these patients, AKI incidence was 25.1% using preadmission SCr. First SCr had the best agreement for AKI diagnosis (22.5%; kappa?=?0.90) and staging (kappa?=?0.81). MDRD, CKD-EPI and minimal SCr overestimated AKI diagnosis (26.7%, 27.1% and 43.2%;kappa?=?0.86, 0.86 and 0.60, respectively). However, MDRD and CKD-EPI computed SCr had a better sensitivity than first SCr for AKI (93% and 94% vs. 87%). Eighty-eight percent of patients experienced renal recovery at least 3 months after hospital discharge. All methods except the first SCr significantly underestimated the percentage of renal recovery. In a multivariate model, age, male gender, hypertension, heart failure, undergoing surgery and log first SCr best predicted preadmission SCr (adjusted R2?=?0.56). Imputation methods with first SCr increased AKI incidence to 23.9% (kappa?=?0.92) but not with MDRD computed SCr (26.7%;kappa?=?0.89).ConclusionIn our cohort, first SCr performed better for AKI diagnosis and staging, as well as for renal recovery after hospital discharge than MDRD, CKD-EPI or minimal SCr. However, MDRD SCr and CKD-EPI SCr improved AKI diagnosis sensitivity. Imputation methods minimally increased agreement for AKI diagnosis.

Project description:ObjectiveTo examine trends and associated characteristics and outcomes of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for women with early-stage ovarian cancer.MethodsThe National Inpatient Sample was queried to examine early-stage ovarian cancer treated with MIS from 2001 to 2011. Annualized hospital surgical volume was defined in the unweighted model as the average number of procedures performed per year in which at least one case was performed. Trends, characteristics, and outcomes related to MIS use were assessed in the weighted model.ResultsAmong 73,707 oophorectomy cases, there were 4822 (6.5%) MIS cases. Utilization of MIS increased from 3.9% to 13.5% from 2001 to 2011 (3.5-fold increase, P < 0.001), and the number of MIS-offering centers also increased from 10.6% to 36.2% (3.4-fold increase, P < 0.001). MIS was associated with a decreased complication rate (20.3% versus 35.4%) and shorter hospital stay (median, 2 versus 4 days) compared to laparotomy (both, P < 0.001). Of the 472 hospitals at which MIS was performed, the majority were minimum-volume with one MIS oophorectomy per year (340 [72.0%], n = 1929 [40.0%]), followed by mid-volume (85 [18.0%], n = 1272 [26.4%]) and topdecile-volume (47 [10.0%] hospitals, n = 1621 [33.6%]). The topdecile-volume group had the highest rate of lymphadenectomy compared to other groups (62.2% versus 39.2-55.1%, P < 0.05). On multivariable analysis, a one increment increase in annualized hospital surgical volume was associated with an 11% decrease in multiple complications (adjusted-odds ratio 0.89, 95% confidence interval 0.82-0.97, P = 0.006).ConclusionUtilization of MIS for early-stage ovarian cancer has significantly increased in the United States in 2000s. In 2011, one in eight surgeries performed for early ovarian cancer were performed via MIS. MIS procedures performed at hospitals with a higher surgical volume may be associated with improved short-term perioperative outcomes.
