The impact of age, sex, comorbidities, and use of antithrombotics on the clinical course severity among patients surgically treated for urinary bladder tamponade.

Objectives: To examine the relationship between clinical patient characteristics and the severity of the disease course in patients hospitalized due to urinary bladder tamponade. The severity was assessed based on hemoglobin (Hgb) levels upon admission, the requirement for red blood cell transfusion (RBCT), and length of hospital stay.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted at a single center, involving 75 patients who were hospitalized due to urinary bladder tamponade.

The impact of antithrombotic therapy on the time of detection of bladder cancer.

Introduction: The aim of this article was to investigate the impact of chronic antithrombotic therapy (AT) use on the time of detection of bladder cancer, assuming that patients taking AT experience episodes of macroscopic hematuria earlier, and therefore have a more favorable histopathological grade and stage, as well as a smaller number and size of tumors compared to patients not taking AT.

Material And Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted, including 247 patients who underwent bladder cancer surgery for the first time at our institution during the three-year period (2019-2021) and who experienced macroscopic hematuria.

Results: A lower frequency of high-grade bladder cancer (40.

Influence of the grade and invasiveness of bladder cancer on disease course severity in patients with bladder tamponade resulting from a bleeding bladder cancer.

Introduction And Objectives: Urinary bladder tamponade is a common urological emergency, but it has so far been insufficiently researched. The aim of our study was to show the association between the characteristics of bladder cancer (grade and invasiveness) and disease course severity based on blood hemoglobin (Hgb) count at admission, the need for red blood cell transfusion (RBCT), and the length of hospitalization in patients suffering from bladder tamponade.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted, namely, including 25 adult patients surgically treated for bladder tamponade resulting from a bleeding bladder cancer.
