Although several baseline and perioperative factors have been linked to postoperative stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and erectile dysfunction (ED), their cumulative effect remains incompletely characterized in large real-world cohorts. Materials and Methods: This retrospective single-center study included 862 consecutive patients undergoing RARP for localized prostate cancer. All endpoints were assessed at a fixed 12-month follow-up visit; therefore, a median follow-up beyond this predefined time point was not applicable. Outcomes were derived from patient-reported information documented during routine follow-up and comprised pad use, ED, and urethral anastomotic stricture. Age, body mass index (BMI), console time, estimated blood loss, and prostate weight were selected a priori based on clinical relevance and uniform availability and were analyzed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression. A simple exploratory composite risk score (0\u20135 points) was constructed by assigning one point for each predefined adverse factor. Results: At 12 months, 50.0% of patients were pad-free, 85.6% achieved social continence (0\u20131 pad\/day), 14.5% had clinically significant incontinence (&gt;1 pad\/day), 71.5% had chart-documented ED, and 1.0% developed urethral anastomotic stricture. In multivariable analysis, age (OR 1.039, 95% CI 1.018\u20131.059) and prostate weight (OR 1.011, 95% CI 1.004\u20131.018) independently predicted SUI, while age was the only independent predictor of ED (OR 1.029, 95% CI 1.007\u20131.050). No predictor of stricture was identified. The composite score showed an exploratory dose\u2013response association with SUI (OR 1.364 per point, 95% CI 1.208\u20131.541; AUC 0.597) and a weaker association with ED (OR 1.149, 95% CI 1.007\u20131.313; AUC 0.540). Conclusions: A simple composite score may provide pragmatic exploratory grouping of SUI risk after RARP, but discrimination is modest and interpretation is limited by non-validated outcome assessment and the absence of major confounders, including nerve-sparing status and baseline functional measures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers18091406","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T07:43:51Z","timestamp":1777448631000},"page":"1406","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Late Functional Outcomes After Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Impact of Baseline and Perioperative Risk Factors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Hanka","family":"Princlova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Hradec Kralove, 50005 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Kralove, Charles University, 50005 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oleg","family":"Izmaylov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Hradec Kralove, 50005 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Kralove, Charles University, 50005 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Minh Nguyet","family":"Tranova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Hradec Kralove, 50005 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Kralove, Charles University, 50005 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0705-017X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pavel","family":"Navratil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Hradec Kralove, 50005 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Kralove, Charles University, 50005 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2299","DOI":"10.1089\/end.2008.9711","article-title":"Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: Perioperative outcomes of 1500 cases","volume":"22","author":"Patel","year":"2008","journal-title":"J.
