- Abstract
<bold>Background: </bold>Bladder cancer is a disease of the elderly that is associated with high morbidity in those treated with radical cystectomy. In this observational study of patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy, we analyzed and compared patient-reported outcomes from those treated with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) methods versus those who received traditional perioperative care.<bold>Methods: </bold>We enrolled patients who underwent radical cystectomy at a high-volume tertiary care referral center from November 2013 to December 2016, when the ERAS concept was being introduced into postoperative care at our institution. Patients reported symptom outcomes using the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory preoperatively and on postoperative days 1 to 5. Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare symptom burden between the ERAS and traditional-care groups. General linear mixed-effects models were used for longitudinal data; linear regression models were used for multivariable analysis.<bold>Results: </bold>Patients (N = 383) reported dry mouth, disturbed sleep, drowsiness, fatigue, pain, and lack of appetite as the most severe symptoms. Compared with the traditional-care group, the ERAS group had significantly less pain (est. = -0.98, P = .005), drowsiness (est. = -0.91, P = .009), dry mouth (est. = -1.21, P = .002), disturbed sleep (est. = -0.97, P = .01), and interference with functioning (est. = -0.70, P = .022) (adjusted for age, sex, surgical technique, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy status).<bold>Conclusions: </bold>These results suggest that ERAS practice significantly reduced immediate postoperative symptom burden in bladder cancer patients recovering from radical cystectomy, supporting the use of patient-reported symptom burden as an outcome measure in perioperative care.
