Popis: This study aimed to identify preoperative parameters for predicting cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) who have undergone radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). The preoperative clinical and laboratory records of 357 UTUC patients who underwent RNU at three different institutions were retrospectively reviewed (256, training set; 101, test set). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed on the training set data to identify preoperative prognostic factors, using which a risk stratification model was developed. The model was validated using test set data. In univariate analysis, clinical T stage classification and preoperative concentrations of hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, sodium, and albumin showed significant association with CSS. Multivariate analysis showed that low preoperative sodium and hemoglobin concentrations were significantly associated with a poor prognosis. A risk stratification model was developed using the preoperative sodium (
