Early complications within 30 days after radical cystectomy: The top seven complications and their predictors.
Observational study in Investigative and clinical urology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeRadical cystectomy (RC) is among the most complex procedures in urology, with early morbidity rates exceeding 50%. Understanding which complications occur most often and identifying their predictors may improve perioperative optimization and postoperative surveillance. This study aimed to determine the most common complications occurring within 30 days after RC and to identify their predictors. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a retrospective observational study of all adult patients undergoing RC with urinary diversion at a single institution between January 2014 and December 2024. A total of 202 patients met inclusion criteria. The seven most frequent complications were identified. Univariable logistic regressions and three separate multivariable models were generated for each complication. Adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were reported.
resultsOverall, 53.0% of patients experienced at least one complication within 30 days. The seven most frequent complications were ileus (25.7%), wound complications (18.8%), urinary tract infection (UTI) (18.3%), sepsis (13.4%), evisceration (11.9%), respiratory infection (5.9%), and bowel anastomotic leak (4.5%). Ileus was predicted by intraoperative complications and urinary diversion type. Wound complications were associated with higher Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), sepsis, ileus, and open surgery. Sepsis was predicted by hypertension, advanced-stage disease, ileus, wound complications, and bowel anastomotic leak. No independent predictors were identified for early UTI. Respiratory infection was associated with postoperative ileus. Evisceration was strongly associated with CCI, intraoperative complications, ileus, and bowel anastomotic leak.
conclusionsEarly morbidity after RC remains high. Predictor profiles differed across complications, supporting the need for complication-specific perioperative strategies.
