Functional status in patients requiring nursing home stay after radical cystectomy.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) in patients who required nursing home (NH) care after radical cystectomy (RC), as this surgery can impair patients' ability to perform ADLs in the post-operative period. The investigators found that ADLs, as measured by the Minimum Data Set (MDS)-ADL Long Form score, worsen after RC. They suggest this should be an important part of the risks and benefits conversation with patients, their families, and caregivers.
