Objective: To examine the impact of increased compliance to contemporary perioperative care measures, as outlined by enhanced recover after surgery (ERAS) guidelines, among patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC).
Patients and methods: From the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database we captured patients undergoing RC between 2019 and 2021. We identified five perioperative care measures: regional anaesthesia block, thromboembolism prophylaxis, ≤24 h perioperative antibiotic administration, absence of bowel preparation, and early oral diet. We stratified patients by the number of measures utilised (one to five). Statistical endpoints included 30-day complications, hospital length of stay (LOS), readmissions, and optimal RC outcome. Optimal RC outcome was defined as absence of any postoperative complication, re-operation, prolonged LOS (75th percentile, 8 days) with no readmission. Multivariable regressions with Bonferroni correction were performed to assess the association between use of contemporary perioperative care measures and outcomes.
Results: Of the 3702 patients who underwent RC, 73 (2%), 417 (11%), 1010 (27%), 1454 (39%), and 748 (20%) received one, two, three, four, and five interventions, respectively. On multivariable analysis, increased perioperative care measures were associated with lower odds of any complication (odds ratio [OR] 0.66, 99% confidence interval [CI] 0.6-0.73), and shorter LOS (β -0.82, 99% CI -0.99 to -0.65). Furthermore, patients with increased compliance to contemporary care measures had increased odds of an optimal outcome (OR 1.38, 99% CI 1.26-1.51).
Conclusions: Among the measures we assessed, greater adherence yielded improved postoperative outcomes among patients undergoing RC. Our work supports the efficacy of ERAS protocols in reducing the morbidity associated with RC.

ObjectivesTo evaluate the role of the TYTOCARE™ telemedicine programme for home telemonitoring during the early postoperative period following radical cystectomy (RC) in a prospective single‐centre study.Materials and MethodsThe study included patients aged <80 years with internet access who underwent RC at our institution between March 2021 and August 2023. Upon discharge, patients were monitored at home using the TYTOCARE™ telemedicine system. Daily, patients completed a symptom questionnaire and recorded heart rate, body temperature, intestinal sounds, and urine output, and wound/ostomy evaluations via photos. Weekly televisits via the TYTOCARETM platform and app were scheduled, with additional controls as needed. After 30 days, patients assessed their satisfaction using a visual analogue scale (VAS; 0–100) and a Telemedicine Satisfaction Questionnaire (TSQ; 1–5) and any technical issues were documented. A control group of patients, who underwent RC in the same study period but who did not take part in a postoperative telemonitoring programme, was chosen for comparison, with analysis of demographics, peri‐operative data, postoperative complications and hospital readmissions within 30 days after discharge.ResultsA total of 16 patients were included in the TYTOCARETM group, and 88 in the control group. The mean VAS satisfaction scores were 86.4 (patients) and 92.3 (healthcare providers). The mean TSQ score was 4.3, indicating high satisfaction. All TYTOCARETM patients reported they would use and recommend the device. Two patients encountered minor technical issues, which were easily resolved. The TYTOCARETM group had a shorter hospital stay (11 vs 14 days; P = 0.04) and fewer medical complications ( 2/16 vs 21/88; P = 0.02). No TYTOCARETM patients were readmitted within 30 days, compared to 20.4% in the control group.ConclusionThe TYTOCARETM telemonitoring programme seems to be feasible and highly adhered to by patients and caregivers, with reductions in length of hospital stay, medical complications and hospital readmissions within the first 30 days post‐discharge.
目的:在一项前瞻性单中心研究中,评估TYTOCARE™远程医疗项目在根治性膀胱切除术(RC)术后早期家庭远程监测中的作用。材料和方法该研究纳入了2021年3月至2023年8月期间在我们机构接受RC的80岁可上网患者。出院后,患者在家中使用TYTOCARE™远程医疗系统进行监测。患者每天完成一份症状问卷,记录心率、体温、肠音、尿量,并通过照片对伤口/造口进行评估。通过TYTOCARETM平台和应用程序安排每周的电视节目,并根据需要进行额外的控制。30天后,患者使用视觉模拟量表(VAS;0-100)和远程医疗满意度问卷(TSQ;1-5)和任何技术问题都被记录下来。选择在同一研究期间接受RC但未参加术后远程监测计划的对照组进行比较,分析人口统计学、围手术期数据、术后并发症和出院后30天内的再入院情况。结果TYTOCARETM治疗组16例,对照组88例。VAS满意度平均分为86.4分(患者)和92.3分(医护人员)。TSQ平均得分为4.3分,满意度较高。所有TYTOCARETM患者都表示他们会使用并推荐该设备。两名患者遇到了一些小的技术问题,这些问题很容易解决。TYTOCARETM组住院时间较短(11天vs 14天;P = 0.04)和更少的医疗并发症(2/16 vs 21/88;P = 0.02)。30天内没有TYTOCARETM患者再次入院,而对照组为20.4%。结论TYTOCARETM远程监护方案似乎是可行的,并且患者和护理人员高度遵守,减少了住院时间、医疗并发症和出院后30天内的再入院率。
