Abstract in brief

The study analyzed data from the National Cancer Data Base involving over 35,000 patients who had cystectomy for bladder cancer across 1118 hospitals to explore how hospital volume impacts mortality within 90 days, especially after surviving the first 30 days.
Results showed that high-volume hospitals had lower unadjusted and adjusted 30- and 90-day mortality rates compared to low-volume hospitals, with a greater difference in mortality observed within the first 30 days post-surgery.
The findings suggest that hospital volume is linked to patient survival after cystectomy, and emphasize the importance of focusing on early (30-day) outcomes to improve surgical quality and reduce mortality rates.]
