Analyses were based on the Cox PH regression. All baseline covariates were well balanced in the propensity score-matched sample according to demographic and clinicopathological characteristics. Therefore, only treatment information was controlled for in the final Cox PH regression model. OS: overall survival; DSS: disease-specific survival; HR: hazard ratio; CI: confidence interval; RC: radical cystectomy; TMT: bladder-sparing trimodality therapy; MIBC: muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
