Background: Quality of life among cancer survivors has been shown to vary by age. Our objective was to evaluate differences in general and bladder cancer-specific quality of life based on age among a large cross-sectional bladder cancer cohort. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional survey of bladder cancer patients using the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network Patient Survey Network and Inspire platforms to determine general and bladder cancer-specific quality of life (QOL) using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and Bladder Cancer Index. Patients were also queried regarding demographic, socioeconomic and clinical characteristics. We present descriptive statistics and a multiple linear regression model to identify factors independently associated with QOL domain score. Results: 972 respondents self-identified as patients with bladder cancer, of whom 41% were female and 97 % were white. The mean age was 67.6 years (range 29 to 93 years). Respondents were highly educated (67% completed college). 63% of patients identified as having non-invasive (NMIBC) cancer (n=578), 30% had MIBC (n=270), and 7% had metastatic bladder cancer (n=63). On multivariable analysis, older age was significantly associated with better generic QOL and urinary function (Table), but not sexual function (p=0.19) or bowel function (p=0.73), controlling for sex, race, stage, comorbidity and years since diagnosis. Conclusions: Higher general and domain-specific QOL scores are more common among older bladder cancer patients. Differential impact by age may be important for the development of tailored interventions to improve QOL for bladder cancer patients.
