PD10-09 HEALTH CARE DISPARITIES AND POST DISCHARGE COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING RADICAL CYSTECTOMY

were stratified into groups based on their distance from UNMH. Fisher tests and odds ratios were used to compare groups. RESULTS: One hundred fifty seven were compliant with follow up while 68 were not. Patients were more likely to be compliant who lived within 40 miles (OR: 4.45, CI: 2.03 e 9.61, P 1⁄4 0.0002), 30 miles (OR: 3.83, CI: 2.05 e 7.16, P < 0.0001), and 20 miles (OR: 3.83 CI: 2.09 e 7.02, P < 0.0001) of our institution. In contrast, those living within 15 miles of UNMH were not statistically different than all other patients living farther away (OR: 0.66, CI: 0.37-1.19, P1⁄40.17). CONCLUSIONS: Urolithiasis is a common problem in the southwest United States, and the need for comprehensive follow up care is crucial for treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first study of its kind to show how distance from point of care relates to compliance in stone disease. Patients living greater than 20 miles from our center demonstrated significantly decreased compliance. Stone disease is distressing to patients and economically costly, and our study highlights the need for further research in strategies to improve compliance.
