To test a novel and easy-to-use mortality index developed and validated in a nationally representative US sample of older adults in patients selected for radical prostatectomy.The sample comprised 2205 consecutive patients who underwent radical prostatectomy in the years 1992-2005. The median age was 64 years and the median follow-up was 9.7 years. A slightly modified Lee mortality index was calculated...
To externally review a nomogram developed to predict the 10-year survival probability of men selected for radical prostatectomy.A total of 1910 consecutive patients who underwent radical prostatectomy from 1992 to 2004 were studied. The mean age was 64.2 years; the mean follow-up for the surviving patients was 6.3 years. The patients were classified according to age and the Charlson comorbidity score...
To investigate the prognostic significance of the individual conditions contributing to the Charlson comorbidity score in patients selected for radical prostatectomy.A total of 1910 consecutive patients who underwent radical prostatectomy from 1992 to 2004 were studied. The Charlson score and its contributing single conditions were analyzed, and the patients were stratified into 3 age groups. Comorbid...
To investigate several comorbidity classifications as possible predictors of mortality, because the value of comorbidity as a prognostic factor is uncertain in patients older than 70 years of age and radical prostatectomy in patients older than 70 years is controversial. A total of 214 consecutive patients aged 70 years or older who underwent radical prostatectomy from December 1992 to December...
Objectives. To report our experience treating sarcomas in 20 consecutive patients.Methods. Pretreatment and follow-up data were obtained from 20 adult patients consecutively treated between 1992 and 1998 for primary or locally recurrent genitourinary sarcoma.Results. Eight patients (40%) were classified as having high-grade and 12 (60%) low-grade disease. Except for 3 patients, the primary treatment...
