Statistically significant.
#Only patients with preoperative eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 were included.
Initially calculated as binary variables in univariate analysis and used as linear variable in multivariate analysis.
OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; BT: bladder tumor; DM: diabetes mellitus; CIS: carcinoma in situ.
