Low Serum Albumin Correlates With Adverse Events Following Surgery for Male Urinary Incontinence: Analysis of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Project.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and risk factors associated with artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) and male urethral sling placement (MUS), revision, and removal.

Methods: We identified CPT codes of patients undergoing AUS and sling placement, revision, and removal in the American College of Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Program database. Bivariate analysis was used to compare preoperative parameters against adverse events of interest (Length of stay (LOS) >1, readmission, reoperation, other postoperative complications, and death).
