With rising projected rates of bladder cancer (BCa) and increasing number of patients experiencing BCa and VTE, our aim is to assess the impact of a preoperative VTE diagnosis on perioperative outcomes and health-care costs in MIBC undergoing Radical Cystectomy (RC). METHODS: Patients≥18 y/o with BCa undergoing Open or Minimally Invasive (MIS) RC were identified in the MerativeTM Marketscan® Research Databases between 2007 and 2021. The association of VTE history with 90-day complication rates, postoperative VTE events, rehospitalization, and total hospital costs (2021 US dollars) was determined by multivariable logistic regression modeling adjusted for patient and perioperative confounders. Sensitivity analysis on VTE degree of severity (i.e., pulmonary embolism [PE] and/or peripheral deep [DVT] or superficial venous thrombosis) was examined. RESULTS: Out of n=8,759 RC procedures, n=743 (8.48%) had a previous history for any VTE including n=245 (32.97%) PE, n=339 (45.63%) DVT and n=59 (21.40%) superficial VTE. Overall, history of VTE before RC was strongly associated with almost any worse postoperative outcomes including higher risk for any and apparatus-specific 90-days postoperative complications (Odds Ratio [OR]: 1.23, 95% Confidence Interval [CI], 1.03-1.46). Subsequent incidence of new VTE events (OR: 7.02, 95% CI: 5.93-8.31), rehospitalization (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.06-1.48), other than home/self-care discharge status (OR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.28-1.82), and higher health-care costs related to the RC procedure (OR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.22-1.68) were significantly correlated with VTE history. Importantly, the association was maintained regardless the severity of VTE history (i.e., PE, DVT or phlebitis/thrombophlebitis). CONCLUSIONS: Experiencing VTE before RC for MIBC significantly raises the risk of any worse perioperative outcomes regardless the severity of the VTE event. These findings will likely have an impact in BCa counseling on the risks of surgery and will improve our ability to mitigate such risks.
