To determine the short-term associations between biomechanical risk factors and musculoskeletal symptoms in the upper limbs and low back in an automotive company, a longitudinal study with a follow-up of 4 days was conducted in a sample of 228 workers of the assembly and paint areas. Data were analyzed using generalized estimating equations, calculating the crude and adjusted model for age, sex, seniority, and intensity of pain at baseline. The interactions found were the same for both models. Workers were divided in low-risk and high-risk group for posture, force, exposure, percentage of cycle time with the arm at/above shoulder level, and with the trunk flexed or/and strongly flexed. The predictive factors showed by time × group effect were found between pain intensity on the left shoulder for posture (β = 0.221, p < 0.001), percentage of time with the trunk flexed (β = 0.136, p = 0.030) and overall exposure (β = 0.140, p = 0.013). A time × group interactions were observed, namely between neck pain and posture (β = 0.218, p = 0.005) and right wrist and force (β = 0.107, p = 0.044). Workers in the high-risk group were more prone to report unfavorable effects on their self-reported musculoskeletal pain, across a workweek when exposed to specific risk factor, being posture important to neck, right wrist and left shoulder pain.

Background: While anticoagulant therapy is standard management for atrial fibrillation (Af), dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is needed after stent implantation for coronary artery disease. HAS-BLED score estimates risk of major bleeding for patients on anticoagulation to assess risk-benefit in Af care. However, it is little known about usefulness of HAS-BLED score in Af patient treated with coronary stents requiring DAPT or DAPT plus warfarin (triple therapy: TT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of HAS-BLED score on major bleeding in Af patients undergoing DAPT or TT. Methods: A total of 837 consecutive patients were received PCI in our hospital from Jan. 2007 to Dec. 2010, and 66 patients had Af or paroxysmal Af at the time of PCI. Clinical events including major bleeding (cerebral or gastrointestinal bleeding) were investigated up to 3 years. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on HAS-BLED score (High-risk group: HAS-BLED score≥4, n=19 and Low-risk group: HAS-BLED score<4, n=47). DAPT therapy was required for a minimum 12 months after stent implantation and warfarin was prescribed based on physicians’ discretion. Management/change of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy during follow-up periods were also up to physicians’ discretion. Results: Baseline characteristics were not different between High-risk and Low-risk group except for age. Overall incidence of major bleeding was observed in 8 cases (12.1%) at 3 years follow-up. Major bleeding event was significantly higher in High-risk group compared with Low-risk group (31.6% vs. 4.3%, p=0.002). However, management of DAPT and TT was not different between the 2 groups. Among component of HAS-BLED score, renal dysfunction and bleeding contributed with increased number of the score. Conclusion: High-risk group was more frequently observed major bleeding events compared with Low-risk group in patients with Af following DES implantation regardless of antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy.

Abstract 57a Purpose: A significant percentage of patients in Central America present with buphthalmos, carrying a high risk of globe rupture and orbital contamination. In 2007, AHOPCA introduced chemotherapy before enucleation in children with buphthalmos. Methods: Patients with advanced intraocular disease were considered standard-risk and underwent enucleation. Those with diffuse invasion of choroid, postlaminar optic nerve, or anterior chamber invasion received 4-6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy (vincristine, carboplatin, etoposide). Patients with buphthalmos or perceived to be at risk for abandonment were considered high-risk, given 2-3 cycles of chemotherapy before enucleation to compete 6 cycles regardless of pathology. All cases were discussed via online meetings. Results: From 2007 to 2014, 396 patients were enrolled; 240 had IRSS stage I (174 unilateral). 143 had upfront enucleation, 95 had pre-enucleation chemotherapy, 1 is pending enucleation and 1 abandoned before enucleation. The standard-risk group 69 had risk pathology and 76 had no risk factors; 125 had no events, 5 abandoned 11 relapsed/progressed and 2 died of toxicity. Of 95 high-risk group, 8 abandoned, 20 relapse/progressive, 6 had toxic deaths and 61 are alive at last follow-up (median time of 4 years). Of high risk group, 55 were unilateral, 82% are alive. At 7 years OS (abandonment-censored) was 95±0.02 and 79±0.04 for standard-risk and high-risk (p=0.008). Conclusion: AHOPCA addressed advanced intraocular disease with an innovative approach. In eyes with buphthalmos and patients with risk of abandonment, neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is effective, when followed by post-enucleation chemotherapy. This approach avoids ocular rupture and intensified therapy, and reduces refusal/abandonment rate. AUTHORS' DISCLOSURES OF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: No COIs from the authors.

Abstract Abstract 846 We had previously reported a well tolerated regimen using single agent arsenic trioxide (ATO) (Blood 2006:107; 2627) leading to durable remissions in patients with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Briefly, the regimen consisted of ATO (10mg/day for adults and 0.15mg/kg/day for pediatric patients) for up to 60 days in induction; this was followed by a 28 day consolidation after a 4 week break. Four weeks after completion of consolidation, patients received ATO for 10 days/month for 6 months. A concern with the previous report was the relatively short duration of follow up. Here we report the long term follow-up data of the same cohort. As previously reported, 72 newly diagnosed cases of APL were enrolled. 62 patients (86.1%) achieved hematological remission. The remaining died prior to achieving remission. There were no primary induction failures. Twenty two (30.6%) of these patients were considered good risk group (WBC count at diagnosis <5×109/L and a platelet count >20×109/L), the rest were considered high risk. Since publication of the last report an additional 7 patients have relapsed to give a total of 13 relapses, 2 were in the good risk group and the remaining 11 in the high risk group. The relapses in the good risk group were salvaged with an autologous SCT and have durable continued second remissions. The median time to relapse was 1.5 years. Five (38.52%) of these relapses occurred beyond 2 years and included both relapses in the good risk group. At a median follow-up of 58 months the 5-year Kaplan-Meier overall survival (OS), event free survival (EFS) and disease free survival (DFS) of the entire cohort was 74.22±5.26%, 68.93±5.52% and 80.00±5.17% respectively. The 5-year OS and EFS of the good risk and high risk group was 100±00% vs. 63.30±6.9% and 90.00±6.71% vs. 59.66±6.99% respectively. Beyond induction, all deaths followed relapse of disease. There were no second malignancies reported. Besides the previously reported toxicities, which were mild and transient in most cases, there were no new toxicities that were reported on continued follow up of these cases. Since completion of therapy, in spite of counseling and advising against pregnancy, 3 males and 4 females in the reproductive age group have had 8 normal children. No abortions, still births or fetal defects were reported among patients in the reproductive age group in this cohort. Hair and nail samples from 5 cases that had completed maintenance therapy more than 24 months earlier have been collected for analysis, the results of which are awaited. At our center the cost of administering this regimen is a quarter of that of a conventional ATRA plus anthracycline based regimen. Additionally, after the initial induction therapy the rest of the treatment did not require hospital admission nor did it result in any Grade III/IV hematological toxicity. Single agent ATO based regimen as reported previously is well tolerated, results in durable remissions and does not have any significant late side effects. In the good risk group it is associated with excellent clinical outcomes while in the high risk group additional interventions are probably required to reduce the risk of late relapses. In a resource constrained environment it is probably the best option. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Background Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have a 9-fold increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). Current guidelines recommend pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis in patients with MM receiving an immunomodulatory agent in the presence of additional VTE risk factors (NCCN 2015, ASCO 2014, ACCP 2012). However, putative risk factors vary across guidelines and no validated VTE risk tool exists for MM. Khorana et al. developed a VTE risk score in patients with solid organ malignancies and lymphoma (Blood, 2008). We sought to apply the Khorana et al. score in a population with MM. Methods We identified patients diagnosed with MM within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) between September 1, 1999 and December 31, 2009 using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-03 code 9732/3. We followed the cohort through October 2014. To eliminate patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and smoldering myeloma, we excluded patients who did not receive MM-directed therapy within 6 months of diagnosis. We also excluded patients who did not have data for hemoglobin (HGB), platelet (PLT) count, white blood count (WBC), height and weight, as these are all variables included in the Khorana et al. risk model. Height and weight were assessed within one month of diagnosis and used to calculate body mass index (BMI). We measured HGB, PLT count, and WBC count prior to treatment initiation: within two months of MM diagnosis. A previously validated algorithm, using a combination of ICD-9 code for VTE plus pharmacologic treatment for VTE or IVC filter placement, identified patients with incident VTE after MM diagnosis (Thromb Res, 2015). The study was approved by the Saint Louis VHA Medical Center and Washington University School of Medicine institutional review boards. We calculated VTE risk using the Khorana et al. score: We assigned 1 point each for: PLT ≥ 350,000/μl, HGB < 10 g/dl, WBC > 11,000/μl, and BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2. Patients with 0 points were at low-risk, 1-2 points were considered intermediate-risk and ≥3 points were termed high-risk for VTE. We assessed the relationship between risk-group and development of VTE using logistic regression at 3- and 6-months. We tested model discrimination using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (concordance statistic, c) with a c-statistic range of 0.5 (no discriminative ability) to 1.0 (perfect discriminative ability). Results We identified 1,520 patients with MM: 16 were high-risk, 802 intermediate-risk, and 702 low-risk for VTE using the scoring system in the Khorana et al. score. At 3-months of follow-up, a total of 76 patients developed VTE: 27 in the low-risk group, 48 in the intermediate-risk group, and 1 in the high-risk group. At 6-months of follow-up there were 103 incident VTEs: 41 in the low-risk group, 61 in the intermediate-risk group, and 1 in the high-risk group. There was no significant difference between risk of VTE in the high- or intermediate-risk groups versus the low-risk group (Table 1). The c-statistic was 0.56 at 3-months and 0.53 at 6-months (Figure 1). Conclusion Previously, the Khorana score was developed and validated to predict VTE in patients with solid tumors. It was not a strong predictor of VTE risk in MM. There is a need for development of a risk prediction model in patients with MM. Figure 1. Figure 1.

AbstractIntroduction: In order to diagnose and stage malignant bone tumors, the pathologic examination of harvested pieces with immunohistochemistry test is necessary; they also provide information regarding the prognosis on a medium to long term. Among tissular biomarkers with potential predictive value, a raised Ki-67 protein level is used to determine the risk of local recurrence or metastasis.Material and method: This study was performed on 50 patients with primary malignant bone tumors admitted in the Traumatology and Orthopedy Department of University Emergency Hospital, Bucharest. Patients repartition according to diagnosis was the following: 21 patients with osteosarcoma, 18 patients with chondrosarcoma, 6 patients with Ewing sarcoma, 3 patients with malignant fibrous histiocytoma, and 2 with fibrosarcoma. The follow-up period was between 12 and 72 months with a mean of 26 months.Results: Patients were aged between 18 and 77 years old, with a mean age of 41,36. There were 22 women and 28 men. No sex or age difference was notable for the tumor outcome. After calculating the Ki-67 LI, 36 patients were included in the high-risk group (Ki-67 LI > 25%), while 14 had a low risk for metastasis and local relapse (Ki-67 < 25%). The low-risk patients had chondrosarcoma (8 patients), osteosarcoma (5 patients), and fibrosarcoma (1 patient). During the follow-up, 8 patients, all belonging to the high risk group, developed metastasis, while 5 patients developed local recurrences; 4 patients who relapsed belonged to the high risk group and 1 to the low risk group. Metastases developed in 3 patients with osteosarcoma, 2 with Ewing sarcoma, 2 with chondrosarcoma and 1 patient with fibrosarcoma. Most metastases occurred within one year after surgery. The other fibrosarcoma patient developed local recurrence after 6 months, while the other local recurrences occurred in osteosarcoma patients (2 cases) and 1 in a Ewing sarcoma patient and chondrosarcoma patient.Conclusions: Our study concluded that while Ki-67 LI values are useful in determining the aggressivity of primary malignant bone tumors, it should always be used in conjunction with the clinical, imaging and anatomopathological diagnosis methods in order to accurately predict the patients’ outcome.

Abstract Introduction: We previously reported a prognostic scoring system in CLL using pre-treatment factors in patients treated with ibrutinib [Ahn et al, 2016 ASH Annual Meeting]. Here we present long-term follow-up results and validation of the prognostic models in a large independent cohort of patients. We also determine the incidence of resistance-conferring mutations in BTK and PLCG2 genes in different clinical risk groups. Methods and Patients: The discovery cohort comprised 84 CLL patients on a phase II study with either TP53 aberration (deletion 17p or TP53 mutation) or age ≥65 years (NCT01500733). The validation cohort comprised 607 patients pooled from four phase II and III studies for ibrutinib in treatment-naïve or relapsed/refractory CLL (NCT01105247; NCT01578707; NCT01722487; NCT01744691). All patients received single-agent ibrutinib 420mg once daily. We used Cox regression models to identify independent predictors of PFS, Kaplan-Meier method to estimate probabilities of PFS, log-rank test to compare PFS, and Cochran-Armitage trend test to compare the incidence of mutation among subgroups. We used R version 3.5.0 or SAS® version 9.3 for statistical analyses. For biomarker correlation, we tested cellular DNA or cell-free DNA collected from patients in the discovery cohort with the targeted sequencing of BTK and PLCG2 genes. Result: At a median follow-up of 5.2 years, 28 (33.3%) of 84 patients in the discovery cohort progressed or died. 52 (61.9%) patients had treatment-naïve CLL. Independent factors of PFS on univariate analysis were; TP53 aberration, prior treatment, and β-2 microglobulin (B2M) >4mg/L (P<0.05 for all tests). Unmutated IGHV and advanced Rai stage (III/IV) showed a trend toward inferior outcome without reaching statistical significance. Because higher levels of B2M were associated with relapsed/refractory CLL, we performed two multivariate Cox regression models to assess B2M and prior treatment status separately. Risk groups were determined by the presence of TP53 aberration, advanced Rai stage, and B2M >4mg/L for Model 1, and TP53 aberration, advanced Rai stage, and relapsed/refractory CLL for Model 2 (Table 1). The high-risk group had all three adverse risk factors; the intermediate-risk group had two risk factors; and the low-risk group, none or one. The median PFS of the high-risk group was 38.9 months for Model 1 and 38.4 months for Model 2, and was significantly shorter than those of intermediate and low-risk groups. In the validation cohort, 254 (41.8%) of 607 patients progressed or died at a median follow-up of 4.2 years. 167 (27.5%) patients had treatment-naïve CLL. Both models showed statistically significant differences in PFS by risk groups (Table 1). For the high-risk group, 4-year PFS was 30.2% in Model 1 and 30.5% in Model 2, which were inferior to those of intermediate (53.4 and 52.4%) and low-risk groups (68.7 and 73.7%). Model 1 classified 20% of patients and Model 2 classified 28% of patients to the high-risk group. BTK and PLCG2 mutations are common genetic drivers of ibrutinib resistance in CLL. To determine whether the incidence of these mutations correlates with prognostic risk groups, we performed targeted sequencing of BTK and PLCG2 of samples collected from patients in the discovery cohort. We used cell-free DNA for patients who received long-term ibrutinib (≥3 years) and had low circulating tumor burden, and cellular DNA, for samples collected within 3 years on ibrutinib or at progression. Of 84 patients, 69 (82.1%) were tested at least once, and 37 (44.0%) were tested at least twice. The frequency of testing was similar across the risk groups by two models (P>0.05). The cumulative incidences of mutations at 5 years in the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups were: 21.4%, 44.8% and 50%, respectively, by Model 1 (P=0.02); and 22.6%, 41.4% and 66.7%, respectively, by Model 2 (P=0.01). Conclusion: We developed and validated prognostic models to predict the risk of disease progression or death in CLL patients treated with ibrutinib. Risk groups classified by three commonly available pre-treatment factors showed statistically significant differences in PFS. The clinically-defined high-risk disease was linked to higher propensity to develop clonal evolution with BTK and/or PLCG2 mutations, which heralded ibrutinib resistance.

Abstract Background Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an uncommon heterogeneous subtype of B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, most MCL cases have a rapid evolution and an aggressive behavior with an unfavorable outcome. Clinical features in mantle cell lymphoma appeared regional characteristics and the epidemiology of MCL in Asia is not accurate documented. MCL treatment opinions are not uniform between country/region within Asia and China. At present, the large-scale Asian patient-specific data for the treatment of MCL are lacking. Aims To obtain 'real world' clinical characteristics,treatment patterns and prognosis factors of MCL patients in China and to address the knowledge gap in Chinese MCL patients. Methods Patients diagnosed with MCL between April 1999 and December 2019 at 19 comprehensive hospitals in China were included in this retrospective analysis. The median follow-up times was 36.0 months. The data of total 805 patients with mantle cell lymphoma were collected, 112 patients with incomplete clinical data, no chemotherapy and missing follow-up data were excluded. Finally, 693 patients with complete clinical data, treatment information and survival follow-up data were included in this study.Fully detailed information of patients, disease characteristics, treatments and outcomes were collected. Fisher's exact test or Pearson's Chi-squared test were used to compare categorical variables.Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier. Results The median age of the cohort was 60.0 years with a male-to-female ratio of 3.36:1. 477 patients (68.8%) were younger than 65 years at diagnosis.Advanced stage of diseases were 90.0%. Extranodal organ involvement was 83.4% and the most frequently involved extranodal organs were bone marrow(46.2%), spleen(36.1%), gastrointestinal tract(24.8) and oropharynx(17.7%). Blastic/pleomorphic mantle cell lymphoma accounted for 12.8%, and non-nodular mantle cell lymphoma accounted for 3.3%. Ki-67 more than 30% was 57.7% and Ki-67 ≥ 50% was 26.1%. The intermediate /high risk group was 49.8% according to MIPI score. The first-line therapeutic schedule is not completely unified, the most frequently regimen was CHOP/CHOP-like±R (n=312,45.0%) ,then high-dose cytarabine (n=222,32.0%), VR-CAP(n=44,6.3%), BR(n=30,4.3%), R-EPOCH (n = 17, 2.5%), FC / FCM±R regimen (n = 13,1.9%),and 55 patients(7.9%) uesd chemo-free regimen including IR / R2 / IR2 .Only 80 patients (11.5%) received autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as consolidation therapy after chemotherapy remission. The ORR rate was 85.0%with 46.6% CR and 38.4% PR in the initial treatment.During the follow-up to June 2021(2-204months), 222 patients(32.0%) had died. The 5-year PFS and OS was 30.9% and 65.0%respectively.In the multivariate Cox regression model, ki67 ≥ 50% (HR 1.27, 95%CI 1.01-1.60, p = 0.038) ,stageⅢ/Ⅳ (HR1.56, 95%CI 1.05-2.33, p = 0.029),high- intermediate/high risk group accouding to MIPI-c (HR1.56, 95%CI 1.05-2.33, p = 0.008),spleen involvment (HR1.35, 95%CI 1.08-1.69, p = 0.009),without maintenance treatment (HR0.71, 95%CI 0.56-0.88, p = 0.003) ,SD/PD in inital treatment (HR6.20, 95%CI4.71-8.14, p &lt; 0.001) were independently associated with poorer PFS while ki67 ≥50% (HR 1.74, 95%CI 1.31-2.31, p&lt; 0.001),B symtom (HR 1.52, 95%CI 1.15-2.00, p = 0.003), high-intermediate/high risk group accouding to MIPI-c (HR1.43, 95%CI 1.24-1.64, p &lt; 0.001),without high-dose cytarabine (HR0.47, 95%CI 0.31-0.70 ,p &lt; 0.001) ,without maintenance treatment (HR0.40, 95%CI 0.28-0.58,p &lt; 0.001)and relapse/refractory state (HR 4.04, 95%CI 2.21-7.39, p &lt; 0.001) were independently associated with poorer OS. Conclusions This study describes the characteristics of mantle cell lymphoma in Chinese population with younger onset age and a higher tumor proliferation index. High dose cytarabine treatment and maintenance treatment have shown survival benefits in real-world.Recurrence and refractory is an important factor affecting survival,the strategy of combining molecular biological characteristics with novel strategies may improve outcome in these patients.

A random sample studied, of 1704 patients with hypertension, inhabitants of Tyumenskaya oblast (region), ascribed to dispensary follow-up. Mean age 62±7,5 y.o. Of those 31,5% (n=537) males. The prevalence and efficacy of AHT assessed according to cardiovascular risk level. The significance was evaluated with the criteria χ2.Results. AHT was characterized by the growth of the frequency of treatment approaches with cardiovascular risk consideration. Regular treatment took 33,9% patients of low and moderate risk vs 41,3% of high and very high (p<0,01). In the male group such tendency also took place. Gender specifics of AHT was characterized by that in the groups of high and very high risk females took medications significantly more commonly than males — 46,6% vs 29,1% in high risk group (p<0,01) and 47,5% vs 30% in very high risk group (p<0,01). With the increase of the risk level, there was decline of treatment efficacy — from 95% in low risk group to 32,5% in very high risk group; 53,1% of the participants were taking monotherapy, 32,9% — two drugs, 14,0% — ≥3 drugs. With the increase of risk grade there is tendency to increase of combinational AHT, however with no significant increase of efficacy. Treatment efficacy in high and very high risk patients comparing to patients with low and moderate risk was significantly lower — 33,1% vs 69,7% (p<0,01), respectively. Statins intake among the high and very high risk patients was 10,6-11,0% males and 7,8% females (p<0,05).Conclusion. AHT in hypertensives in Tymenskaya oblast, under dispensary follow-up, is characterized by insufficient usage of combinational drugs. With the raise of cardiovascular risk there is tendency to higher rate of combinational AHT. However there is no significant increase in efficacy of treatment with the increase of medications number. A very low rate of statins intake is noted. The obtained specifics witness for the necessity to optimize AHT among the high and very high risk patients — inhabitants of Tyumenskya oblast.

Fatty Liver Index

Background & aims Fatty liver is associated with incident diabetes, and the fatty liver index (FLI) is a surrogate marker for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to determine whether or not FLI was associated with incident diabetes in relation to obesity and prediabetic levels in the general Japanese population. Methods This was a retrospective study using the Japanese health check-up database of one health insurance from FY2015 to FY2018. This study included 28,991 individuals with prediabetes. First, we stratified all participants into two groups: “high-risk,” comprising patients with HbA1c >6.0%, and “standard,” comprising the rest. Subsequently, we divided them into four groups according to FLI (<30 or not) and obesity (BMI <25 kg/m2 or not). Subsequently, the incidence rate of diabetes was compared among the groups after 3 years of follow-up using multiple logistic regression models after adjusting for potential confounders. Results After 3 years of follow-up, 1,547 new cases of diabetes were found, and the cumulative incidence was 2.96% for the standard group and 26.1% for the high-risk group. In non-obese individuals, odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for FLI ≥30 versus FLI <30 were: 1.44 (1.09–1.92) for the standard group and 1.42 (0.99–2.03) for the high-risk group. In the high-risk group, obesity (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) but FLI <30 was not a risk factor for developing diabetes. Conclusion Although high FLI is generally considered to be a risk factor for developing diabetes, obesity might have been a confounding factor. However, the present study showed that high FLI is a risk factor for the development of diabetes, even in non-obese individuals. Our results include suggestion to develop a screening tool to effectively identify people at high risk of developing diabetes from the population (especially non-obese prediabetes) who are apparently at low health risk and are unlikely to be targeted for health guidance.

Abstract Introduction Recurrence rate of surgically treated localised renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is reported to be approximately 20%. There is lack of consensus on the optimal surveillance regimen. We assess the performance of our surveillance protocol based upon prognostic histological factors. We report the outcome of our first cohort to reach 5 years follow up. Method A retrospective analysis was performed of patients who underwent a radical or partial nephrectomy between March 2014 and October 2015. Patients were classified as high, intermediate, or low risk based on pathology; with each group undergoing individualised radiological follow up. Results 80 patients with pathologically confirmed RCC who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy were identified. Recurrence was noted in 24% (n = 19), and a third of those patients (n = 7) died within the 5-year follow-up period. 79% (n = 15) of patients with recurrence were of intermediate or high-risk group. 90% of recurrences were picked up on surveillance scans, 5% due to symptoms related to the recurrence and 5% incidentally. 70% occurred within the first 2 years post-surgery. 92% (n = 6) of those who died had an ASA of 2 or higher. In the whole cohort, total number of deaths was 13. 38% (n = 5) died of RCC, 54% (n = 7) died of other causes and in 8% (n = 1) cause of death of was unclear. Conclusions Our risk stratified surveillance protocol identified 90% of recurrences within the 5-year follow-up. Future refinement of our protocol could include an assessment of performance status which may influence the schedule of radiological surveillance.
