Discrepancies between physician-assessed and patient-reported complications after cystectomy – a prospective analysis
In our prospective study, the correlation between physician-assessed and patient-reported complication grades was only moderate. Only half of the cystectomy patients accurately perceived the severity of their complications. Our findings represent the first study to investigate patients' perspectives on complications in urology and underscore the importance of thorough preoperative medical information.
