- Abstract
Background and Objective: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant predictor of worse postoperative morbidity in cancer surgeries. No data have been available for patients with preoperative VTE and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) undergoing radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Our aim was to assess the impact of a preoperative VTE diagnosis on perioperative outcomes in the RNU context., Methods: Patients aged 18 yr or older with a UTUC diagnosis undergoing RNU were identified in the Merative Marketscan Research deidentified databases between 2007 and 2021. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted by relevant perioperative confounders was used to investigate the association between a diagnosis of VTE prior to RNU and 90-d complication rates, postoperative VTE, rehospitalization, and total costs. A sensitivity analysis on VTE severity (pulmonary embolism [PE] and/or deep venous thrombosis [DVT]) was examined., Key Findings and Limitations: Within the investigated cohort of 6922 patients, history of any VTE preceding RNU was reported in 568 (8.21%) cases, including DVT (n = 290, 51.06%), PE (n = 169, 29.75%), and superficial VTE (n = 109, 19.19%). The history of VTE before RNU was predictive of higher rates of complications, the most prevalent being respiratory complications (odds ratio [OR]: 1.78, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.43-2.22). Preoperative VTE was found to be associated with an increased risk of VTE following RNU (OR: 14.3, 95% CI: 11.48-17.82), higher rehospitalization rates (OR: 1.26, 95% CI 1.01-1.56) other than home discharge status (OR: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.18-1.77), and higher costs (OR 1.42, 95% CI: 1.20-1.68). Limitations include the retrospective nature and the use of an insurance database that relies on accurate coding and does not include information such as pathologic staging., Conclusions and Clinical Implications: The presented findings will contribute to the counseling process for patients. These patients may benefit from enhanced pre/postoperative anticoagulation. More research is needed before the following results can be used in the clinical setting., Patient Summary: Patients aged 18 yr or older with an upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) diagnosis undergoing radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) were identified in the Merative Marketscan Research deidentified databases between 2007 and 2021. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted by relevant perioperative confounders was used to investigate the association between a diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prior to RNU and 90-d complication rates, postoperative VTE, rehospitalization, and total costs. A sensitivity analysis on VTE severity (pulmonary embolism and/or deep venous thrombosis) was examined. The presented findings will contribute to the counseling of patients with UTUC and preoperative VTE., (Published by Elsevier B.V.) more...

- Abstract
Background: Sleep quality and duration have been investigated for their association with health. Insomnia affects up to one-third of adults and may impact male erectile function. In addition, medical treatments for insomnia (many of which are sedatives) may also affect erectile quality., Objective: To investigate the association of erectile dysfunction (ED) in patients diagnosed with and treated for insomnia., Design, Setting, and Participants: We utilized the IBM MarketScan (2007-2016) Commercial and Medicare Supplemental Databases (v 2.0). Age- and enrollment-matched controls were selected among patients without insomnia diagnosis or treatment., Outcome Measurements and Statistical Analysis: Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the risk of incident ED (ie, diagnosis alone, or diagnosis and treatment with phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors [PDE5i], intracavernous injection (ICI)/urethral suppositories, and penile prosthesis) after the diagnosis or treatment of insomnia while adjusting for relevant comorbidities., Results and Limitations: In total, 539 109 men with an insomnia diagnosis were identified. Of these men, 356 575 were also medically treated for insomnia. The mean (±standard deviation) follow-up times for patients diagnosed with insomnia and those diagnosed with and treated for insomnia were 2.8 ± 1.6 and 3.1 ± 1.8 yr, respectively. Men with insomnia were more commonly smokers and had a higher number of office visits and comorbidities than controls (p < 0.001). On an adjusted analysis, both untreated and treated insomnia were associated with increased risks of ED diagnosis (hazard ratio or HR [95% confidence interval {CI}]: 1.58 [1.54-1.62] and 1.66 [1.64-1.69], respectively; p < 0.001). Similarly, men with treated insomnia had a higher risk of having ED treated with PDE5i (HR [95% CI]: 1.52 [1.49-1.55]; p < 0.001) and ICI (HR [95% CI]: 1.32 [1.14-1.54]; p < 0.001) when compared with controls. A limitation of this study was that a lack of granularity regarding patient clinical characteristics (eg, severity of disease, laboratory data, etc.) is inherent to insurance claims data. In addition, the follow-up was limited and may affect associations at longer time points., Conclusions: In the current report, a consistent association between insomnia and ED diagnosis was identified. Men diagnosed with insomnia only were found to have a higher risk of developing ED. Moreover, men with pharmacological insomnia treatments were more often prescribed treatments for ED. Given the prevalence of insomnia, future studies are warranted to delineate the association of insomnia and its treatment with erectile function., Patient Summary: Insomnia affects up to one-third of adults and impact male erectile function. Men only diagnosed with insomnia were found to have a higher risk of developing erectile dysfunction (ED). Moreover, men with pharmacological insomnia treatments were more often prescribed treatments for ED., (Copyright © 2023 European Association of Urology. Published by Elsevier B.V.
