Editorial comment on 'urinary bladder cancer treated with radical cystectomy: Perioperative parameters and early complications prospectively registered in a national population-based database'

摘要

Hospital mortality, being 2% greater than ICU mortality, is quite normal and could explain high values for the Hosmer-Lemeshow test and the poor calibration. In their manuscript the authors did not mention hospital mortality or 28-day mortality or whether they had used another equation calibrated for ICU mortality.
