Predictors of Residual Tumour in Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Following Repeat Transurethral Resection: A Meta-Analysis
Abstract
To systematically evaluate the risk factors associated with positive pathology results following second transurethral resection (re-TUR) in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), a thorough database search, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CNKI, was performed, limited to studies published up to January 2023. Researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction, and meta-analysis using RevMan 5.3, incorporating 15 studies with 1,877 patients. Based on the results, positive pathology results after re-TUR were associated with the following factors: higher pathological grade (OR = -0.24, 95% CI: -0.31-0.17; p
