- Introduction: We aimed to compare short term outcomes after robot assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and open radical cystectomy (ORC) for urinary bladder cancer in a large population.Materials and methods: We included all patients without distant metastases who underwent either RARC or ORC with ileal conduit between 2011 and 2019 registered in the Bladder cancer data Base Sweden (BladderBaSe) 2.0. Primary outcome was unplanned readmissions within 90 days, and secondary out-comes within 90 days of surgery were reoperations, Clavien 3-5 complications, total days alive and out of hospital, and mortality. The analysis was carried out using multivariate regression models.Results: Out of 2905 patients, 832 were operated with RARC and 2073 with ORC. Robotic procedures were to a larger extent performed during later years, at high volume centers (47% vs 17%), more often for organ-confined disease (82% vs. 72%) and more frequently in patients with high socioeconomic status (26% vs. 21%). Patients operated with RARC were more commonly readmitted (29% vs. 25%). In multi -variable analysis RARC was associated with decreased risk of Clavien 3-5 complications (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.47-0.72), reoperations (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.39-0.71) and had more days alive and out of hospital (mean difference 3.7 days, 95% CI 2.4-5.0).Conclusion: This study illustrates the "real-world" effects of a gradual and nation-wide introduction of RARC. Patients operated with RARC had fewer major complications and reoperations but were more frequently readmitted compared to ORC. The observed differences were largely due to more wound related complications among patients treated with ORC.(c) 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

- INTRODUCTION: Physical activity (PA) after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) can influence weight loss, health status, and quality of life. Known mediators to participate in PA are enjoyment, self-efficacy, and social support. Little is known about PA behavior in MBS individuals. The aim of this study was to explore levels of PA and the PA mediators enjoyment, self-efficacy, and social support before and after MBS and to investigate changes over time.METHODS: Adults scheduled to undergo MBS were recruited from a Swedish university hospital. Accelerometer-measured and self-reported PA, body weight, and PA mediators were collected at baseline and at 12 to 18 months post-surgery.RESULTS: Among 90 individuals included, 50 completed the follow-up assessment and had valid accelerometer data. Sedentary time (minutes/day) was unchanged, but sedentary time as percentage of wear time decreased significantly from 67.2% to 64.5% (p<0.05). Time spent in light PA and total PA increased significantly from 259.3 to 288.7 min/day (p < 0.05) and from 270.5 to 303.5 min/day (p < 0.01), respectively. Step counts increased significantly from 6013 to 7460 steps/day (p < 0.01). There was a significant increase in self-reported PA, enjoyment, self-efficacy for exercise, and positive social support from family. The increase in PA mediators did not lead to a significant change in time spent in moderate to vigorous PA.CONCLUSION: The increase in PA-mediators was not associated with an increase in moderate to vigorous PA, but the strengthened PA mediators suggest potential for an increase in moderate to vigorous PA in patients undergoing MBS.

Preoperative upper tract invasive diagnostic modalities are associated with intravesical recurrence following surgery for upper tract urothelial carcinoma : A population-based study

- Introduction & Objectives: Evidence based mainly on small retrospective series points to an increased risk of intravesical recurrence (IVR) after preoperative diagnostic ureteroscopy (URS) in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). We investigated if preoperative invasive diagnostic modalities (IDM) are associated with IVR after radical surgery for UTUC. Secondly, risk of death from urothelial cancer and all causes was investigated.Materials & Methods: We investigated a population-based cohort of 1038 consecutive patients subjected to radical surgery for UTUC 2015–2019 in Sweden, using the Bladder Cancer Data Base Sweden (BladderBaSe 2.0), comprising all patients in the Swedish National Registry of Urinary Bladder Cancer. Risk estimates of IVR, death from urothelial cancer, and all causes following IDM (antegrade/retrograde uretero-pyelography and/or selective urine cytology/barbotage, and URS with or without concomitant biopsy) was assessed using multivariable Cox regression models adjusted for age, gender, clinical tumour stage, tumour location (renal pelvis/ureter/both), ipsilateral bladder cuff excision, previous bladder cancer, comorbidity, and educational level.Results: The study included 536 cases with and 502 without preoperative IDM. IDM was associated with increased risk of IVR (HR 1.24, 95% CI 1.03-1.52) and risk of urothelial cancer death (HR 1.56, CI 1.12-2.18), compared to no IDM after a median follow-up of 1.3 yrs. Stratified analysis for tumor location showed that IDM was associated with risk of IVR in ureteric cancer (HR 1.66, 95% CI 1.21-2.28) but not in renal pelvic cancer (HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.81-1.41). Limitations include the observational setting and the lack of information on tumour grade, multifocality and preoperative hydronephrosis.Conclusions: Worse outcomes for patients subjected to preoperative IDM highlight the need for carefully considering diagnostic decisions for UTUC patients, specifically in tumours located in the ureter.

- Objective: To evaluate if induction of labour at 41 weeks improves perinatal and maternal outcomes in women with low risk pregnancies compared with expectant management and induction at 42 weeks.Methods: A multicenter, randomised controlled superiority trial.Women with low risk singleton pregnanies (n = 2760) were randomised to either induction or expectant management group. The primary outcome was a composite perinatal outcome including one or more of stillbirth, neonatal mortality, Apgar score < 7 at five minutes, pH < 7.00 or metabolic acidosis (pH < 7.05 and base deficit >12 mmol/L) in the umbilical artery, hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy, intracranial haemorrhage, convulsions, meconium aspiration syndrome, mechanical ventilation within 72 hours, obstetric brachial plexus injury. Primary analysis was by intention to treat.Results: The study was stopped early owing to a significantly higher rate of perinatal mortality in the expectant management group (no deaths compared to six deaths, p = 0.03). The primary outcome did not differ: 2.4 % (33/1381) in the induction group and 2.2 % (31/1379) in the expectant management group (RR 1.06, 95 %CI 0.65 to 1.73; p = 0.90). The proportion of caesarean delivery, instrumental vaginal delivery, or any major maternal morbidity did not differ between the groups.Conclusions: There was no significant difference in the primary composite outcome when comparing induction at 41 weeks with expectant management and induction at 42. However, a reduction of the secondary outcome perinatal mortality was observed without increasing adverse maternal outcomes. To offer induction at 41 weeks could be one of few interventions that reduces the rate of stillbirths.
