TY - THES N2 - Background: Declines in nutrition status and changes in adverse body composition frequently occur in oncology patients including those with muscle invasive bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy (RC). Furthermore, RC frequently results in secondary surgical complications with as many as 60% of patients experiencing a complication within 90 days of surgery. Patient skeletal muscle and nutrition status assessed preoperatively may be predictors for adverse outcomes. The objective of this retrospective closed cohort study was to differentiate perioperative skeletal muscle area in patients with various nutrition statuses and describe hospital length of stay (LOS), readmission rates, and adverse surgical events after RC.
