The correlations among the variables were evaluated and their prognostic values after RC were tested. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Three inflammation markers (ratios of blood cell counts) were positively correlated (<i>p</i> < 0.0001). The PNI and the BMI were positively correlated (<i>p</i> = 0.04), although they were inversely correlated with the three inflammation markers (<i>p</i> < 0.0001). Age was not significantly correlated with the inflammation markers and PMI, although older age was associated with lower PNI and lower PEF. The disease-specific survival was independently predicted by T4 tumor, positive N status, and decreased PNI. Overall survival was independently predicted by T4 tumor, mGPS, and pretreatment sarcopenia status. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The inflammation-, nutrition-, and muscle-based markers would be useful risk assessment tools for MIBC.</p> 2017-06-23 09:31:29 Bladder cancer Prognostic factor Surgery Radical cystectomy Inflammation Nutrition Skeletal muscle Sarcopenia
