Efficacy and Safety of Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Creation for Budd-Chiari Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

PurposeTo assess the critical role of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in the management of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), as the data with respect to the safety and outcome of TIPS in patients with BCS are scarce because of the rarity of the disease.Materials and MethodsA comprehensive search of literature of various databases from 2000 to October 2021 was conducted for studies evaluating the outcome of TIPS in patients with BCS. The primary outcomes of the analysis were technical and clinical success, adverse events and mortality associated with TIPS, dysfunction of TIPS, need for TIPS revision, need for liver transplantation (LT), and 1-year survival.ResultsA total of 33 studies (1,395 patients) were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled rates and 95% confidence intervals of various outcomes were 98.6% (97.6–99.7) for technical success, 90.3% (86.0–94.6) for clinical success, 10.0% (6.5–13.6) for major adverse events, 0.5% (0.2–1.0) for TIPS-related mortality, 11.6% (7.8–15.4) for post-TIPS hepatic encephalopathy (HE), 40.1% (32.5–47.7) for TIPS dysfunction, 8.6% (4.9–12.4) for the need for TIPS revision, 4.5% (2.8–6.2) for the need for LT, and 94.6% (93.1–96.1) for 1-year survival. Publication bias was seen with all outcomes except for post-TIPS HE, TIPS dysfunction, and the need for LT.ConclusionsThe existing literature supports the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of TIPS in the treatment of BCS. Deciding the optimal timing of TIPS in BCS needs further studies.     

Growth and Nutritional Outcomes in Children Post-Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant without Exposure to Total Body Irradiation

AimsPoor growth in childhood cancer survivors who undergo haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) without exposure to radiation is reported anecdotally, although literature to support this is limited. The aims of this study were to assess the change in height standard deviation score (SDS) and the final adult height (FAH) in children who underwent chemotherapy-only conditioned HSCT and to identify predictors of poor growth.Materials and methodsWe conducted a retrospective hospital medical record review (1984–2010) of children (1–10 years) who underwent chemotherapy-only conditioned HSCT, noting anthropology measurements at cancer diagnosis, HSCT, 10 years old and FAH.ResultsThe median age at HSCT of the 53 patients was 4.5 years, 75% had a haematological malignancy and 25% a solid tumour. Half of the cohort underwent allogenic HSCT and most (89%) conditioned with busulphan. The mean change in height SDS from primary cancer diagnosis to FAH was –1.21 (±1.18 SD), equivalent to 7–8.5 cm loss, with a mean FAH of –0.91 SDS (±1.10 SD). The greatest height loss occurred between diagnosis and HSCT (–0.77 SDS, 95% confidence interval –1.42, –0.12, P = 0.01), with no catch-up growth seen by FAH. Patients with solid tumours had the greatest height loss. Overall body mass index SDS did not change significantly over time, or by cancer type.ConclusionsChemotherapy-only conditioned HSCT during childhood can impact FAH, with the greatest height loss occurring prior to HSCT and no catch-up growth after treatment finishes. Children transplanted for a solid tumour malignancy seem to be more at risk, possibly due to intensive treatment regimens, both pre-transplant and during conditioning.     

Oxygen delivery-guided perfusion for the prevention of acute kidney injury: A randomized controlled trial

ObjectivesThe reduction of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery using an oxygen delivery-guided perfusion strategy (oxygen delivery strategy) for cardiopulmonary bypass management compared with a fixed flow perfusion (conventional strategy) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a oxygen delivery strategy would reduce the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.MethodsWe randomly enrolled 300 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to a oxygen delivery strategy (maintaining a oxygen delivery index value >300 mL/min/m² through pump flow adjustments during cardiopulmonary bypass) or a conventional strategy (a target pump flow was determined on the basis of the body surface area). The primary end point was the development of acute kidney injury. Secondary end points were the red blood cell transfusion rate and number of red blood cell units, intubation time, postoperative length of stay in the intensive care unit and the hospital, predischarge estimated glomerular filtration rate, and hospital mortality.ResultsAcute kidney injury occurred in 20 patients (14.6%) receiving the oxygen delivery strategy and in 42 patients (30.4%) receiving the conventional strategy (relative risk, 0.48; 95% confidence interval, 0.30-0.77; P = .002). The secondary end points were not significantly different between strategies. In a prespecified subgroup analysis of patients who had nadir hematocrit less than 23% or body surface area less than 1.40 m², the oxygen delivery strategy seemed to be superior to the conventional strategy and the existence of quantitative interactions was suggested.ConclusionsAn oxygen delivery strategy for cardiopulmonary bypass management was superior to a conventional strategy with respect to preventing the development of acute kidney injury.     

Post-cardiac arrest intensive care in Sweden: A survey of current clinical practice

Background

European guidelines recommend targeted temperature management (TTM) in post-cardiac arrest care. A large multicentre clinical trial, however, showed no difference in mortality and neurological outcome when comparing hypothermia to normothermia with early treatment of fever. The study results were valid given a strict protocol for the assessment of prognosis using defined neurological examinations. With the current range of recommended TTM temperatures, and applicable neurological examinations, procedures may differ between hospitals and the variation of clinical practice in Sweden is not known.

Aim

The aim of this study was to investigate current practice in post-resuscitation care after cardiac arrest as to temperature targets and assessment of neurological prognosis in Swedish intensive care units (ICUs).

Methods

A structured survey was conducted by telephone or e-mail in all Levels 2 and 3 (= 53) Swedish ICUs during the spring of 2022 with a secondary survey in April 2023.

Results

Five units were not providing post-cardiac arrest care and were excluded. The response rate was 43/48 (90%) of the eligible units. Among the responding ICUs, normothermia (36–37.7°C) was applied in all centres (2023). There was a detailed routine for the assessment of neurological prognosis in 38/43 (88%) ICUs. Neurological assessment was applied 72–96 h after return of spontaneous circulation in 32/38 (84%) units. Electroencephalogram and computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging were the most common technical methods available.

Conclusion

Swedish ICUs use normothermia including early treatment of fever in post-resuscitation care after cardiac arrest and almost all apply a detailed routine for the assessment of neurological prognosis. However, available methods for prognostic evaluation varies between hospitals.     

Donor lungs cold preservation at 10 °C offers a potential logistic advantage in lung transplantation

Donor lung preservation at 10 °C appears to be an innovative and promising method that may improve transplant logistics by extending the cold ischemia time with excellent outcomes. We report the case of two lung transplants from two different donors involving the use of two different preservation methods, highlighting the benefits of using 10 °C lung storage.     

急性心肌梗死患者D二聚体质量浓度与远期预后的关系

目的 探讨急性心肌梗死(acute myocardial infarction,AMI)患者D二聚体(D-dimer)质量浓度与病情严重程度和远期心源性死亡的关系。方法 选取2013年1月至2020年1月收入首都医科大学附属北京友谊医院的AMI患者3 990例,根据D-dimer质量浓度分为3组:≤0.50 mg/L、0.51～0.80 mg/L、≥0.81 mg/L,平均随访时间为2.1 (1.0～4.0) 年。应用Cox比例风险回归模型评估D-dimer对心源性死亡的影响。结果 D-dimer≥0.81 mg/L组患者年龄较大、女性居多、体质量指数较低,既往合并高血压、糖尿病者较多,3支病变较为多见,住院期间肾小球滤过率较低,N末端B型利钠肽原峰值明显升高,左室射血分数<50%患者比例明显升高。D-dimer≥0.81 mg/L组患者在随访期间累计心源性病死率(18.7%)高于D-dimer≤0.50 mg/L组(2.3%)和D-dimer 0.51～0.80 mg/L组(6.1%),且校正其他危险因素后,D-dimer能独立预测AMI患者的心源性死亡(HR=1.71,95%CI:1.34~2.18,P<0.001)。结论 D-dimer能反映AMI患者病情的严重程度,且D-dimer升高可在一定程度上预测AMI患者远期心源性死亡事件发生率升高。
