Transurethral prostate surgery in prostate cancer patients: A population-based comparative analysis of complication and mortality rates. Asian J Urol 2024; 11:48-54.

Abstract
Objective Prostate cancer (PCa) patients might experience lower urinary tract symptoms as those diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Some of them might be treated for their lower urinary tract symptoms instead of PCa. We aimed to test the effect of PCa versus BPH on surgical outcomes after transurethral prostate surgery, namely complication and mortality rates. Methods Within the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (2011-2016), we identified patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate, photoselective vaporization, or laser enucleation. Patients were stratified according to postoperative diagnosis (PCa vs. BPH). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models evaluated the predictors of perioperative morbidity and mortality. A formal test of interaction between diagnosis and surgical technique used was performed. Results Overall, 34 542 patients were included. Of all, 2008 (5.8%) had a diagnosis of PCa. The multivariable logistic regression model failed to show statistically significant higher rates of postoperative complications in PCa patients (odds ratio: 0.9, 95% confidence interval: 0.7-1.1; p=0.252). Moreover, similar rates of perioperative mortality (p=0.255), major acute cardiovascular events (p=0.581), transfusions (p=0.933), and length of stay of more than or equal to 30 days (p=0.174) were found. Additionally, all tests failed to show an interaction between post-operative diagnosis and surgical technique used. Conclusion Patients diagnosed with PCa do not experience higher perioperative morbidity or mortality after transurethral prostate surgery when compared to their BPH counterparts. Moreover, the diagnosis seems to not influence surgical technique outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many national and international guidelines have been established for venous thromboembolic disease (VTE). Homogeneous management practices could be expected in the different European countries. To verify this hypothesis, we compared practices in France, Italy and Spain. METHOD We used data from the international RIETE registry to compare VTE management between France, Italy and Spain. RESULTS From 2001 January to 2011 January, patients were consecutively included in France (n=1548), Italy (n=2083) and Spain (29,824). All patients received anticoagulant treatment. Low molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) was the most frequently used drug as initial therapy in all three countries, but unfractionated heparin (UFH) was more frequently used in France and Italy than in Spain. In France, the proportion of patients receiving LMWH was lower than the proportion of patients with active cancer (cancer 22.5 %, long-term treatment with LMWH 17.4 %). A vena cava filter was significantly more frequently used in France (5.5 % in France, 3.2 % in Italy and 2 % in Spain, P<0.0001). High bleeding risk because of surgery with recent thromboembolic disease was the most frequent indication in France and Italy for vena cava filter placement (36.4 %, and 31.3 %, respectively). CONCLUSION Despite the publication of national and international guidelines, VTE management differs among the three major European countries included in the RIETE registry, France, Italy and Spain.

Pattern of frequent but nontargeted pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis for hospitalized patients with cancer at academic medical centers: a prospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hospitalized patients with cancer are considered to be at high risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Despite strong recommendations in numerous clinical practice guidelines, retrospective studies have shown that pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis is underutilized in hospitalized patients with cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective, cross-sectional study of hospitalized patients with cancer at five academic hospitals to determine prescription rates of thromboprophylaxis and factors influencing its use during hospitalization. RESULTS A total of 775 patients with cancer were enrolled across five academic medical centers. Two hundred forty-seven patients (31.9%) had relative contraindications to pharmacologic prophylaxis. Accounting for contraindications to anticoagulation, the overall rate of pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis was 74.2% (95% CI, 70.4% to 78.0%; 392 of 528 patients). Among the patients with cancer without contraindications for anticoagulation, individuals hospitalized with nonhematologic malignancies were significantly more likely to receive pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis than those with hematologic malignancies (odds ratio [OR], 2.34; 95% CI, 1.43 to 3.82; P=.007). Patients with cancer admitted for cancer therapy were significantly less likely to receive pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis than those admitted for other reasons (OR, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.22 to 0.61; P<.001). Sixty-three percent of patients with cancer classified as low risk, as determined by the Padua Scoring System, received anticoagulant thromboprophylaxis. Among the 136 patients who did not receive anticoagulation, 58.8% were considered to be high risk by the Padua Scoring System. CONCLUSION We conclude that pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis is frequently administered to hospitalized patients with cancer but that nearly one third of patients are considered to have relative contraindications for prophylactic anticoagulation. Pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis in hospitalized patients with cancer is commonly prescribed without regard to the presence or absence of concomitant risk factors for VTE.
