Variant histologies of urothelial carcinoma: Does it change the survival outcomes in patients managed with radical cystectomy?

Objective: To investigate the impact of variant histologies (VH) of urothelial carcinoma (UC) on survival outcomes after radical cystectomy (RC).

Materials And Methods: Data from 181 patients with UC treated with RC between January 2013 and December 2019 at a single tertiary care referral center were retrospectively accessed. All RC specimens were assigned by genitourinary dedicated pathologists.

The Role of Frailty in Predicting 3 and 6 Months Functional Decline in Hospitalized Older Adults: Findings from a Secondary Analysis.

Frailty represents one of the most relevant geriatric syndromes in the 21st century and is a predictor of adverse outcomes in hospitalized older adult, such as, functional decline (FD). This study aimed to examine if frailty, evaluated with the Frailty Index (FI), can predict FD during and after hospitalization (3 and 6 months). Secondary data analysis of a prospective cohort study of 101 hospitalized older adults was performed.
