With the growing population aging, BPH burden has increased with considerable percentage of octogenarian (80-90 years) and nonagenarian (>90 years) patients requiring surgical management. We aimed to assess the difference in complication rate and functional outcome of Holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) in these age groups.METHODS: Maintained database was reviewed for HoLEP patients with follow up of 1 year. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to age: !80 years (G I) and<80 years (G II). Perioperative complications and functional outcomes were compared between both groups.RESULTS: Total 1090 patients were included, 201 and 889 in GI and II respectively. Median age was 84 and 70 years in GI and GII respectively. GI had significantly higher frailty score, lower baseline hemoglobin and more anticoagulant use. GI showed significantly longer operative time, higher rate of blood transfusion, longer catheterization time and higher rates of failed 1 st voiding trial, emergency room (ER) visits and readmission. Clavien-Dindo complications within 30-days were statistically higher in GI (20.8% vs 9.3%, p[0.008) although overgrade II complications were comparable in both groups (3.4% vs 1.79%, p[0.133). (Tables 1 and 2) Follow up IPSS and incontinence rates were comparable in both groups. (Figure 1) CONCLUSIONS: HoLEP is a safe and very effective option in the geriatric population of octogenarians and nonagenarians. HoLEP is associated with higher overall complication rate in octogenarians and nonagenarians, however most complications are minor with comparable over-grade II complication rate to younger age group.
4þ3, it increased from 68.1% to 70.8%. In general, there was an increment of 7-12% across the board.CONCLUSIONS: Our machine learning model has the potential to not only automate but also vastly enhance the utility to detect PCa early and aid in clinical decision making. Given the accuracy of our current model, we are hopeful of producing an automated software workflow that will aid in identifying tumor areas, determining their severity, and influencing treatment decisions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
