Prospective Evaluation of Blood-based and Microbiological Early Indicators of In-hospital Infectious Complications After Open Cystectomy
We looked at infectious complications during their hospital stay for patients undergoing surgical removal of their bladder. We found no difference in the rate of infectious complications between two common surgical procedures that create a new pathway for urine to leave the body. We also found that levels of the markers interleukin-6 and procalcitonin, and bacterial culture results for wound drainage fluid were not helpful in predicting infectious complications for these patients.
