We evaluated the impact of patient, surgical, and perioperative factors on discharge disposition following RC at a tertiary referral center. From 2012 to 2019, all bladder cancer patients undergoing RC at our institution were identified (n = 1153). Patients were classified based on discharge disposition: to home or to continued facility-based rehabilitation centers (CFRs, n = 180 (15.61%) patients). On multivariate analysis of patient factors only, age [Risk Ratio (RR): 1.07, p &lt; 0.001)], single marital status (RR: 1.09, p &lt; 0.001), and living alone prior to surgery (RR: 2.55, p = 0.004) were significant predictors of discharge to CFRs. Multivariate analysis of patient, surgical, and perioperative factors indicated age (RR: 1.09, p &lt; 0.001), single marital status (RR: 3.9, p &lt; 0.001), living alone prior to surgery (RR: 2.42, p = 0.01), and major post-operative (Clavien &gt; 3) complications (RR: 3.44, p &lt; 0.001) were significant independent predictors of discharge to CFRs. Of note, ERAS did not significantly impact discharge disposition. Specific patient and perioperative factors significantly impact discharge disposition. Patients who are older, living alone prior to surgery, and\/or have a major post-operative complication are more likely to be discharged to CFRs after RC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers14215288","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,27]],"date-time":"2022-10-27T20:37:58Z","timestamp":1666903078000},"page":"5288","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Impact of Patient, Surgical, and Perioperative Factors on Discharge Disposition after Radical Cystectomy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8892-5539","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovanni E.","family":"Cacciamani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Catherine & Joseph Aresty Department of Urology, Keck Medicine of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryan S.","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Catherine & Joseph Aresty Department of Urology, Keck Medicine of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel I.","family":"Sanford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Catherine & Joseph Aresty Department of Urology, Keck Medicine of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wesley","family":"Yip","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Catherine & Joseph Aresty Department of Urology, Keck Medicine of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Catherine & Joseph Aresty Department of Urology, Keck Medicine of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gus","family":"Miranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Catherine & Joseph Aresty Department of Urology, Keck Medicine of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6224-9598","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Siamak","family":"Daneshmand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Catherine & Joseph Aresty Department of Urology, Keck Medicine of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monish","family":"Aron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Catherine & Joseph Aresty Department of Urology, Keck Medicine of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hooman","family":"Djaladat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Catherine & Joseph Aresty Department of Urology, Keck Medicine of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Inderbir S.","family":"Gill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Catherine & Joseph Aresty Department of Urology, Keck Medicine of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mihir","family":"Desai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Catherine & Joseph Aresty Department of Urology, Keck Medicine of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"310","DOI":"10.1089\/pop.2012.0084","article-title":"The Influence of a Postdischarge Intervention on Reducing Hospital Readmissions in a Medicare Population","volume":"16","author":"Costantino","year":"2013","journal-title":"Popul.
