Value of Geriatric Assessment Using the G8 to Predict Postoperative Urinary Tract Infections in Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveUrinary tract infection is one of the most common and distressing complications of radical cystectomy with urinary diversion. This study aimed to elucidate the usefulness of the geriatric-8 screening tool for predicting postoperative complications, especially urinary tract infections, in patients who underwent radical cystectomy with urinary diversion. MATERIAL AND
methodsNinety-one patients with bladder cancer who underwent radical cystectomy with urinary diversion were assessed for geriatric-8 and classified into 3 groups according to their geriatric-8 score: 14 as the high score group. We retrospectively analyzed the association between geriatric-8 score and postoperative complications classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.
resultsThe median age of the patients was 75 years (interquartile range 71-80 years) and 75 (82%) were male; 41 of the patients (45%) had high geriatric-8 score (>14), 40 of the patients (44%) had intermediate geriatric-8 score (11-14), and 10 of the patients (11%) had low geriatric-8 score (< 11). In multivariate analysis, low score of geriatric-8 was independently associated with the occurrence of grade 2 or higher urinary tract infection within 30 days [odds ratio=5.9; 95% CI=1.2-30.3; P=.03], along with female [odds ratio=6.1; 95% CI=1.7-21.7; P=.006] and open surgery [odds ratio=6.0; 95% CI=1.8-19.6; P=.003].
conclusionThe geriatric-8 score may contribute to predict postoperative urinary tract infection in patients with bladder cancer who underwent radical cystectomy with urinary diversion.
