CISTO: Comparison of Intravesical Therapy and Surgery as Treatment Options for Bladder Cancer

The primary outcome of patient-reported quality of life is measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30 Physical Function scale. The scale ranges in score from 0 to 100, with higher function scores indicating better health. Scale score is calculated by transforming individual item scores into a 0 to 1 scale, taking the mean, and multiplying by 100. Each scale requires responses for at least 50% of the items in order to be calculated.

The evaluation of the effect of treatment choice on patient-reported urinary health, as measured by the Bladder Cancer Index (BCI). The BCI consists of 36 items, with 4- or 5-point Likert response scales, covering 3 primary domains: urinary, bowel, and sexual. For each domain a summary score is constructed from the items used to calculate the two subscale scores (function and bother). Scores are calculated by transforming item responses into a 0 to 100 scale and calculating the mean of the standardized items. Higher scores indicate better health status. To calculate a score, a minimum of 80% completed items is required.

The evaluation of the effect of treatment choice on patient-reported financial distress, as measured by the Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST). The COST questionnaire consists of 11 items, each scored on a 5-point Likert scale from zero to four. After reversing some items as indicated in the scoring manual (by reversing the sign on the original zero to four score and adding four), all item response scores are summed into a single financial toxicity score ranging from 0 to 44, with higher scores indicating greater financial wellbeing. Each subscale requires responses for at least 50% of the items in that subscale in order to be calculated. Item nonresponse is accounted for by substituting the mean of the completed items in the subscale.

The evaluation of the effect of treatment choice on recurrence-free survival. Survival times were calculated from the date of diagnosis of recurrent high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer to the event (recurrence or death). A recurrence was defined as any subsequent episode of high-grade bladder cancer in the bladder or elsewhere in the urinary tract (penile urethra, prostatic urethra, ureters, renal pelvis), either non-muscle or muscle invasive bladder cancer (for cystectomy arm this excludes any finding at cystectomy). Censoring occurred at the last electronic health record review or death.
