Abstract

Objective Augmentation cystoplasty (AC) is a major surgery that can be associated with long-term morbidity. This study aimed to describe the cumulative incidence of outcomes and urologic procedures in a large cohort of children who underwent AC, identify significant sources of morbidity, and to evaluate baseline factors associated with outcomes of interest. Methods Children ≤18 years who underwent AC in the Pediatric Health Information System from 1999 to 2010 were included. All follow-up encounters up to June 2012 were included. Cumulative incidences for 15 outcomes and urologic procedures were calculated using non-informative censoring. Sensitivity analyses were performed to determine effect of censoring assumptions and including hospitals without complete datasets. As an exploratory analysis, baseline patient factors were evaluated for associations with outcomes and urologic procedures of interest using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for clustering by hospital. Results 2831 AC patients were identified. Based on cumulative incidence calculations and sensitivity analyses; the cumulative incidence ranges of outcomes and procedures at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years were calculated. Examples of 10-year cumulative incidence ranges are given for the following outcomes and procedures: bladder rupture (2.9-6.4%), small bowel obstruction (5.2-10.3%), bladder stones (13.3-36.0%), pyelonephritis (16.1-37.1%), cystolithopaxy (13.3-35.1%), and reaugmentation (5.2-13.4%). The development of chronic kidney disease was strongly associated with a diagnosis of lower urinary tract obstruction (HR 13.7; 95% CI 9.4-19.9). Bladder neck surgery and stoma creation at time of AC were associated with an increased hazard of bladder rupture (HR 1.9; 95% CI 1.1-3.3) and bladder stones (HR 1.4; 95% CI 1.1-1.8) respectively. Conclusions Outcomes of interest and urologic procedures after AC are common. Results from this large cohort can be used to counsel patients and families about expectations after AC. Pyelonephritis, chronic kidney disease, further reconstructive surgery, and calculus disease appear to cause significant morbidity. Collaborative efforts are needed to further reduce morbidity in this patient population.
