"With this study, we comprehensively explored all the available literature regarding various pathological factors implicated in the survival of patients with UTUCs. We included all the studies where data on multivariable analysis predicting various survival outcomes such as CSS, OS and RFS were available. From each of these studies, HR for different pathological variables was extracted for quantitative analysis. While conducting this review standard preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines () were followed. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020184885)."
