Comorbidity Level and Risk of 90-day and 18-month Complications Among Patients Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer in the Military Health System.

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
IntroductionProstate cancer is frequently diagnosed at ages when men may also have comorbidity. Access to care may influence both comorbidity management and cancer treatment and recovery. We examined the association between comorbidity and postoperative outcomes among men with prostate cancer in the universal access Military Health System (MHS).MethodsWe identified a cohort of men diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma from 2001-2014 who received radical prostatectomy (RP) within 1 year of diagnosis in the MilCanEpi database, which links the Department of War Cancer Registry and MHS Data Repository. We used ICD-9 diagnosis codes to capture 90-day postoperative general and genitourinary (GU) complications and hospital readmissions; and 18-month postoperative GU complications. Poisson regression estimated the adjusted risk ratios (ARRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the outcomes associated with comorbidity (0, 1-2, or ≥3) measured using the Elixhauser Index.ResultsThe study included 5645 men with non-metastatic prostate cancer (mean age 57.9 ± 7.7 years) who received RP; 39.9% of patients had no comorbidity, 43.9% had 1-2 conditions, and 16.2% had ≥3 conditions. Patients with ≥3 comorbidities had statistically significant higher risks of 90-day general (ARR = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.34, 2.64) and GU (ARR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.06, 1.36) complications and hospital readmission (ARR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.12, 2.26) relative to men with no comorbidity. At 18-month post-RP, men with 1-2 comorbidities (ARR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.05, 1.35) and ≥3 comorbidities (ARR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.13, 1.55) had statistically significant higher risk of measured GU complications relative to men with no comorbidity.ConclusionsIn the MHS, higher comorbidity was associated with an increased risk of 30-day and 18-month complications and 90-day readmissions following RP for prostate cancer. This study identifies a need for risk management strategies to reduce complication rates among men with higher comorbidity levels diagnosed with prostate cancer and treated by RP.
