Background

Single-anastomosis duodeno-jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADJB-SG) was developed as a simplified technique of DJB-SG, but long-term data are lacking.

Objective

To report the long-term data of SADJB-SG.

Setting

Tertiary Teaching Hospital.

Methods

A total of 148 SADJB-SG was performed from 2011 to 2016 with mean age of 42.0 ± 10.9-years old (14–71), female 64.9%, and mean body mass index 34.2 ± 5.9 kg/m2. All patients were evaluated and managed under a strict multidisciplinary team approach. A retrospective analysis of a prospective bariatric database and telephone interview of patients who defaulted clinic follow-up at 5-year was conducted.

Results

The mean operating time, intraoperative blood loss, and hospital stay of SADJB-SG were 189.6 ± 32.1 minutes, 43.5 ± 17.9 mL, and 5.0 ± 5.1 days, respectively. The 30-days postoperative major complication occurred in 7(4.7%) patients, all in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). At postoperative 1, 2, and 5 years, the mean percentage of total weight loss and excess weight loss of SADJB-SG patients were 25.5%, 22.8%, 22.5%, and 83.9%, 76.1%, 58.6%, respectively. Among 118 patients with T2D, 62 (52.5%) achieved complete remission (hemoglobin A1C <60%) at 1 year and 36.5% at 5 years after surgery. A total of 15 patients needed reoperation at follow-up, due to reflux disease (n?=?11), weight regain, and recurrent of T2D (n?=?2), ileus (n?=?1), and peritonitis (n?=?1). Among them, 8 were converted to RYGB and the others remained in same anatomy. At 5 years, the overall revision rate was 12.9% (8/62) and 24.5% (14/57) of the remaining required proton pump inhibitor for reflux symptoms.

Conclusion

Our results show that primary SADJB-SG is a durable primary bariatric procedure with sustained weight loss and a high resolution of T2D at 5 years, but de novo GERD is the major side effect.  相似文献

Background

De novo gastric cancer is a rare complication of liver transplantation.

Methods

Surgical treatments of 16 cases with different outcomes were reported in the English literature.

Results

De novo gastric cancer (stage II) was diagnosed as the result of epi-gastric discomfort in a recipient 10 years after liver transplantation. The patient received chemotherapy alone and remained well for 26 months.

Conclusions

De novo gastric cancer of liver transplantation recipients is a severe complication; early detection and relevant intervention will benefit these recipients.  相似文献

Background Context

Higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification is a known predictor of postoperative complication in diverse surgical settings. However, its predictive value is not established in single-level elective anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (SLE-ACDF).

Purpose

This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of ASA classification system on 30-day morbidity following SLE-ACDF.

Design/Setting

Patients who underwent SLE-ACDF between 2011 and 2013 were selected from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database.

Patient Sample

A total of 6,148 patients were selected from the 2011–2013 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database.

Outcome Measures

All outcomes are self-report measures as tracked by dedicated clinical reviewers via prospective review of inpatient charts, outpatient clinic visits, and direct contact with the surgical team.

Methods

Propensity score matching and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate ASA classification as 30-day morbidity predictor. This study has no financial conflict and has no potential conflict of interest to disclose.

Results

A total of 6,148 patients were analyzed in this study. Patients in the ASA >II cohort had higher incidence of comorbidities and postoperative complications (overall complication, pneumonia, unplanned intubation, ventilator dependent >48 hours, cerebrovascular accident or stroke, catastrophic outcome, and airway complication). Propensity score matching yielded 1,628 pairs of well-matched patients. Multivariable analyses with the propensity score matched dataset revealed the following associations between ASA class >II and 30-day outcomes: any complication (odds ratio [OR] 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.48–1.41), pneumonia (OR 1.22, 95% CI 0.33–4.56), unplanned intubation (OR 1.49, 95% CI 0.41–5.36), ventilator >48 hours (OR 5.92, 95% CI 0.69–50.96), catastrophic outcome (OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.39–2.71), and airway complication (OR 2.21, 95% CI 0.67–7.29).

Conclusions

Although we did not detect associations between ASA class >II and adverse 30-day outcomes following SLE-ACDF, imprecision of estimates precludes definitive inferences. Although ASA classification allows simple assessment of patients' physiological status, their overall perioperativerisk factors need to be considered collectively for adequate optimization and improved outcomes in SLE-ACDF.  相似文献

BACKGROUND CONTEXT

Patients with pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (PVO) are expected to have an increased risk of bone loss. Therefore, early bisphosphonate therapy would be clinically effective for PVO patients with osteoporosis.

PURPOSE

This study aimed to investigate the effect of bisphosphonate on clinical outcomes of PVO patients with osteoporosis.

STUDY DESIGN/SETTING

A retrospective comparative study.

PATIENT SAMPLE

PVO patients with osteoporosis.

OUTCOME MEASURES

Four events of interest for Cox proportional hazard model included surgical treatment, recurrence of infection, subsequent fracture of adjacent vertebral bodies, and death.

METHODS

PVO patients were divided into three groups: group A (initiation of bisphosphonate within 6 weeks after PVO diagnosis), group B (initiation of bisphosphonate between 6 weeks and 3 months after PVO diagnosis), and group C (no treatment for osteoporosis). Cox proportional hazard model was used for the four events of interest.

RESULTS

A total of 360 PVO patients with osteoporosis were investigated for the four events of interest. Group A had significantly lower hazard ratios for undergoing later (>6 weeks after diagnosis) surgery than group C (p?=?.014) despite similar occurrences of overall surgery. A significant difference was also observed in the occurrence of subsequent fractures at adjacent vertebral bodies (p?=?.001 for model 1 and p?=?.002 for model 2). Groups A and B had significantly lower hazard ratios for subsequent fracture than group C. No significant differences were observed in the hazard ratios of recurrence and death among the three groups.

CONCLUSIONS

Early bisphosphonate treatment in PVO patients with osteoporosis was associated with a significantly lower occurrence of subsequent vertebral fracture at adjacent vertebral bodies and lower occurrence of subsequent surgery.  相似文献

Background Context

Complex sacral fractures with vertical and anterior pelvic ring instability treated with traditional fixation methods are associated with high rates of failure and poor clinical outcomes. Supplemental lumbopelvic fixation (LPF) has been applied for additional stability to help with fracture union.

Purpose

The study aimed to determine whether minimally invasive LPF provides reliable fracture stability and acceptable complication rates in cases of complex sacral fractures.

Study Design/Setting

This is a retrospective cohort study at a single level I trauma center.

Patient Sample

The sample includes 24 patients who underwent minimally invasive LPF for complex sacral fracture with or without associated pelvic ring injury.

Outcome Measures

Reoperation for all causes, loss of fixation, surgical time, transfusion requirements, length of hospital stay, postoperative day at mobilization, and mortality were evaluated.

Methods

Patient charts from 2008 to 2014 were reviewed. Of the 32 patients who underwent minimally invasive LPF for complex sacral fractures, 24 (12 male, 12 female) met all inclusion and exclusion criteria. Outcome measures were assessed with a retrospective chart review and radiographic review. The authors did not receive external funding for this study.

Results

Acute reoperation was 12%, and elective reoperation was 29%. Two (8%) patients returned to the operating room for infection, one (4.2%) required revision for instrumentation malposition, and seven (29%) underwent elective removal of instrumentation. No patient experienced failure of instrumentation or loss of correction. Average surgical time was 3.6 hours, blood loss was 180?mL, transfusion requirement was 2.1 units of packed red blood cells, and postoperative mobilization was on postoperative day 5. No mortalities occurred as a result of the minimally invasive LPF procedure.

Conclusions

Compared with historic reports of open LPF, our results demonstrate reliable maintenance of reduction and acceptable complication rates with minimally invasive LPF for complexsacral fractures. The benefits of minimally invasive LPF may be offset with increased elective reoperations for removal of instrumentation.  相似文献

Background Context

Prior studies have suggested no significant differences in functional status and postoperative complications of elderly versus nonelderly patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion; however, similar studies have not been comprehensively investigated in the setting of anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF).

Purpose

The objective was to quantify the ability of the modified Frailty Index (mFI) to predict postoperative events in patients undergoing ALIF.

Study Design

Secondary analysis of prospectively collected data.

Patient Sample

Patients undergoing ALIF in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) participant files for the period 2010 through 2014.

Outcomes Measures

Outcome measures included any postoperative complication, return to operating room (OR), and length of stay >5 days.

Methods

NSQIP participant files from 2010 to 2014 were used to identify patients undergoing ALIF. The mFI used in the present study is an 11-variable assessment that maps 16 NSQIP variables to 11 variables in the Canadian Study of Health and Ageing Frailty Index. Univariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression models were used to compare the relative strength of association between mFI with outcome variables of interest.

Results

In total, 3,920 ALIF cases were identified and grouped according to their mFI score: 0 (n=2,025), 0.09 (n=1,382), 0.18 (n=464), or ≥0.27 (n=49). As the mFI increased from 0 (no frailty-associated variables) to 0.27 (4 of 11) or higher, there was a significant stepwise increase in any complication from 10.8% to 32.7%. After multivariable regression analysis, no significant association was found between higher mFI scores with urinary tract infections and venous thromboembolism. High frailty scores were significant predictors of any complication (mFI of ≥0.27 [reference: 0]; OR 2.4; p=.040) and pulmonary complications (mFI score ≥0.27; OR 7.5; p=.001).

Conclusions

In summary, high mFI scores were found to be independently associated with any complication and pulmonary complications in patients who underwent ALIF. The use of mFI together with traditional risk factors may help better identify high-surgical risk patients, which may be useful for preoperative and postoperative care optimization.  相似文献

Background Context

The majority of validation done on the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) has been in patients with mild or moderate disability. There is paucity of research focusing on the psychometric quality of the RMDQ in patients with severe disability.

Purpose

To evaluate the psychometric quality of the RMDQ in patients with severe disability.

Study Design/Setting

Observational clinical study.

Sample

The sample consisted of 214 patients with painful vertebral compression fractures who underwent vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty.

Outcome Measures

The 23-item version of the RMDQ was completed at two time points: baseline and 30-day postintervention follow-up.

Methods

With the two-parameter logistic unidimensional item response theory (IRT) analyses, we derived the range of scores that produced reliable measurement and investigated the minimal clinically important difference (MCID).

Results

Scores for 214 (100%) patients at baseline and 108 (50%) patients at follow-up did not meet the reliability criterion of 0.90 or higher, with the majority of patients having disability due to back pain that was too severe to be reliably measured by the RMDQ. Depending on methodology, MCID estimates ranged from 2 to 8 points and the proportion of patients classified as having experienced meaningful improvement ranged from 26% to 68%. A greater change in score was needed at the extreme ends of the score scale to be classified as having achieved MCID using IRT methods.

Conclusions

Replacing items measuring moderate disability with items measuring severe disability could yield a version of the RMDQ that better targets patients with severe disability due to back pain. Improved precision in measuring disability would be valuable to clinicians who treat patients with greater functional impairments. Caution is needed when choosing criteria for interpreting meaningful change using the RMDQ.  相似文献

Background Context

Posterior lumbar fusion (PLF) is a commonly performed procedure. The evolution of bundled payment plans is beginning to require physicians to more closely consider patient outcomes up to 90 days after an operation. Current quality metrics and other databases often consider only 30 postoperative days. The relatively new Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Readmissions Database (HCUP-NRD) tracks patient-linked hospital admissions data for up to one calendar year.

Purpose

To identify readmission rates within 90 days of discharge following PLF and to put this in context of 30 day readmission and baseline readmission rates.

Study Design

Retrospective study of patients in the HCUP-NRD.

Patient Sample

Any patient undergoing PLF performed in the first 9 months of 2013 were identified in the HCUP-NRD.

Outcome Measures

Readmission patterns up to a full calendar year after discharge.

Methods

PLFs performed in the first 9 months of 2013 were identified in the HCUP-NRD. Patient demographics and readmissions were tracked for 90 days after discharge. To estimate the average admission rate in an untreated population, the average daily admission rate in the last quarter of the year was calculated for a subset of PLF patients who had their operation in the first quarter of the year. This study was deemed exempt by the institution's Human Investigation Committee.

Results

Of 26,727 PLFs, 1,580 patients (5.91%) were readmitted within 30 days of discharge and 2,603 patients (9.74%) were readmitted within 90 days of discharge. Of all readmissions within 90 days, 54.56% occurred in the first 30 days. However, if only counting readmissions above the baseline admission rate of a matched population from the 4th quarter of the year (0.08% of population/day), 89.78% of 90 day readmissions occurred within the first 30 days.

Conclusions

The current study delineates readmission rates after PLF and puts this in the context of 30-day readmission rates and baseline readmission rates for those undergoing PLF. These results are important for patient counseling, planning, and preparing for potential bundled payments in spine surgery.  相似文献

BACKGROUND CONTEXT

Pedicle screw loosening is common after spinal fusion and can be associated with pseudoarthrosis and pain. With suspicion of screw loosening on standard radiographs, CT is currently considered the advanced imaging modality of choice. MRI with new metal artifact reduction techniques holds potential to be sensitive in detection of screw loosening. The sensitivity and specificity of either of the imaging modalities are yet clear.

PURPOSE

To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of three different image modalities (standard radiographs, CT, and MRI) for detection of pedicle screw loosening.

STUDY DESIGN/SETTING

Cross-sectional diagnostic study.

PATIENT SAMPLE

Forty-one patients (159 pedicle screws) undergoing revision surgeries after lumbar spinal fusion between August 2014 and April 2017 with preoperative radiographs, CT, and MRI with spinal metal artifact reduction (STIR WARP and TSE high bandwidth sequences).

OUTCOME MEASURES

Sensitivity and specificity in detection of screw loosening for each imaging modality.

METHODS

Screw torque force was measured intraoperatively and compared with preoperative screw loosening signs such as peri-screw edema in MRI and peri-screw osteolysis in CT and radiographs. A torque force of less than 60 Ncm was used to define a screw as loosened.

RESULTS

Sensitivity and specificity in detection of screw loosening was 43.9% and 92.1% for MRI, 64.8% and 96.7% for CT, and 54.2% and 83.5% for standard radiographs, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

Despite improvement of MRI with metal artifact reduction MRI technique, CT remains the modality of choice. Even so, CT fails to detect all loosened pedicle screws.  相似文献

Background Context

Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) may not be considered a major complication after surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. However, improper management of transient POUR leads to bladder overdistension and permanent bladder detrusor damage. Systematic monitoring of POUR may be recommended in vulnerable patients.

Purpose

The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of and risk factors for POUR.

Study Design/Setting

This is a retrospective nested case-control study.

Patient Sample

A total of 284 consecutive patients (M : F=125:159; mean age, 63.3 years) who underwent spine surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis were reviewed.

Outcome Measures

A multivariable logistic model was utilized to identify risk factors.

Methods

A systematic postoperative voiding care protocol was applied for all patients to monitor them for the development of POUR. An indwelling urethral catheter was inserted intraoperatively and removed in the postanesthesia care unit. The patients were encouraged to void within 6 hours postoperatively and every 4–6 hours thereafter. After each voiding, the postvoid residual urine (PVR) was measured by an ultrasound bladder scan. POUR was defined as the inability to void or having a PVR≥100?mL for more than 2 days after surgery.

Results

The incidence of POUR was 27.1% (77/284). Older age (odds ratio, 1.062; 95% confidence interval, 1.029–1.095) and a long duration of surgery (odds ratio, 1.003; 95% confidence interval, 1.001–1.005) were significant risk factors. A formula for determining the probability of POUR was developed, and a probability of ≥0.26 was regarded as the cut-off value (sensitivity of 0.75 and specificity of 0.57; C-statics, 0.684).

Conclusion

POUR was a common morbidity after surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. We recommend adopting a systematic postoperative voiding care protocol to prevent bladder overdistension and detrusor damage, especially for elderly patients and those who have undergone longer surgeries.  相似文献

Background

Few studies of single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) as the revision surgery for laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) have been published.

Objectives

To explore the efficacy and safety of SADI-S as the revision surgery for LAGB.

Setting

The research was completed by the University Hospital.

Methods

From November 2013 to November 2015, a total of 22 weight-regain patients who previously underwent LAGB received SADI-S as the revision surgery at the People's Liberation Army General Hospital. Preoperative clinical characteristics as well as the data at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after operation were collected and analyzed.

Results

The operation time of SADI-S was 105 ± 12.2 minutes, and intraoperative blood loss was 27.3 ± 5.8 mL. The percentage of excess weight loss was 20.55 ± 9.10%, 40.1 ± 6.02%, 63.52 ± 10.43%, 70.72 ± 8.54%, 78.34 ± 9.25%, and 81.57 ± 11.12% at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery, respectively. The 2-year complete remission rate of type 2 diabetes was 17 of 18, and the partial remission rate was 1 of 18 after operation. The glycated hemoglobin was 8.7% ± 1.1%, 7.7% ± .9%, 6.2% ± .6%, 5.7% ± .5%, 5.5% ± .6%, 6.0% ± .9%, and 5.7% ± .8% preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after the operation, respectively. One case presented incisional hernia and was repaired. There was no conversion to laparotomy. Vitamins and trace elements were administrated long term to these patients after the operation, and no patients experienced vitamin or trace element deficiencies.

Conclusion

SADI-S is safe and effective as a revision surgery for patients who experienced weight regain after LAGB. However, multicenter randomized controlled studies with larger sample sizes are needed to explore the long-term efficacy and safety of SADI-S.  相似文献

Background

Early dumping is a poorly defined and incompletely understood complication after Roux-en-Y gastric (RYGB).

Objective

We performed a mixed-meal tolerance test in patients after RYGB to address the prevalence of early dumping and to gain further insight into its pathophysiology.

Setting

The study was conducted in a regional hospital in the northern part of the Netherlands.

Methods

From a random sample of patients who underwent primary RYGB between 2008 and 2011, 46 patients completed the mixed-meal tolerance test. The dumping severity score for early dumping was assessed every 30 minutes. A sum score at 30 or 60 minutes of ≥5 and an incremental score of ≥3 points were defined as indicating a high suspicion of early dumping. Blood samples were collected at baseline, every 10 minutes during the first half hour, and at 60 minutes after the start.

Results

The prevalence of a high suspicion of early dumping was 26%. No differences were seen for absolute hematocrit value, inactive glucagon-like peptide-1, and vasoactive intestinal peptide between patients with or without early dumping. Patients at high suspicion of early dumping had higher levels of active glucagon-like peptide-1 and peptide YY.

Conclusion

The prevalence of complaints at high suspicion of early dumping in a random population of patients after RYGB is 26% in response to a mixed-meal tolerance test. Postprandial increases in both glucagon-like peptide-1 and peptide YY are associated with symptoms of early dumping, suggesting gut L-cell overactivity in this syndrome.  相似文献

Introduction

Electrical burns are devastating, posing development of multiple injuries with high morbidity and mortality. Electrical burn management benefits from a multidisciplinary, multispecialty collaborative approach to improve outcomes.

Objective

To highlight the clinical spectrum of electrical burns in the developing world, including common etiologies, presentation, intervention, associated injuries, and complications.

Materials and methods

A prospective study was conducted from January 2010 to December 2015 that included 78 patients (75 men and 3 women), who presented with a history of electrical burns. Patients were interviewed for detailed clinical history and physical examination.

Results

The study comprised 78 patients (high-voltage group: 38.46% and low-voltage group: 61.54%). The most affected age group was the 21–40 year age group. High-voltage injuries were more devastating. The most common complication was septicemia in 24.4% of the patients, which included 43.3% from the high-voltage group.

Conclusion

Electrical burns affecting young adult men can impose a significant burden in developing countries. Electrical burns, especially due to high voltage, involve multiple organs benefitting from multidisciplinary management and have significant residual sequelae. Public awareness and education and proper training of industry workers remain the best way to minimize the prevalence of electric burns in the developing world.  相似文献

BACKGROUND

The pattern of linear graph schematized by visual analogue scale (VAS) score displaying pain worsening between 2 days and 2 weeks after selective nerve root block (SNRB) is called rebound pain.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this study was to determine if sodium hyaluronate and carboxymethyl cellulose solution (HA-CMC sol) injection could reduce the occurrence of rebound pain at 3 days to 2 weeks after SNRB in patients with radiculopathy compared with injection with corticosteroids and local anesthetics alone.

STUDY DESIGN/SETTING

Double blinded randomized controlled clinical trial.

PATIENT SAMPLE

A total of 44 patients (23 of 24 patients in the Guardix group and 21 of 24 patients in the control group) who finished the follow-up session were subjects of this study.

OUTCOME MEASUREMENT

Patients were asked to write down their average VAS pain scores daily for 12 weeks. Functional outcomes were assessed by Oswestry Disability Index, Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire , and Short Form-36.

METHOD

A cocktail of corticosteroids, 1% lidocaine, 0.5% Bupivacaine, and 1 mL of normal saline was used for the control group whereas a cocktail of corticosteroids, 1% lidocaine, 0.5% Bupivacaine, and 1 mL of HA-CMC solution was used for the G group. Study participants were randomized into one of two treatment regimens. They were followed up for 3 months.

RESULTS

VAS score at 2 weeks after the procedure was 4.19±1.32 in the control group, which was significantly (p<.05) higher than that (2.43±1.24) in the G group. VAS score at 6 weeks after the procedure was 4.00±1.23 in the control group and 3.22±1.45 in the G group, showing no significant (p=.077) difference between the two groups. There were no significant differences in functional outcomes at 6 or 12 weeks after the procedure.

CONCLUSIONS

Compared with conventional cocktail used for SNRB, addition of HA-CMC sol showed effective control of rebound pain at 3 days to 2 weeks after the procedure.  相似文献

Background Context

Surgical treatment for adult spinal deformity improves patient quality of life; however, trends in surgical utilization in the elderly, who may be at higher risk for complications, remain unclear.

Purpose

To identify trends in the utilization of adult deformity and determine complication rates among older patients.

Study Design

This is a retrospective database analysis.

Patient Sample

The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was queried from 2004 to 2011 to identify adult patients who underwent spinal fusion of eight or more levels using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) coding.

Outcome Measures

Incidence of surgery, complication rates, length of stay, and total hospital charges.

Methods

The incidence of surgery was normalized to United States census data by age group. Trends in complications, length of stay, and inflation-adjusted hospital charges were determined using linear regression and Cochran-Armitage trend testing.

Results

An estimated 29,237 patients underwent adult spinal deformity surgery with an increase from 2,137 to 5,030 cases per year from 2004 to 2011. Surgical incidence among patients 60 years and older increased from 1.9 to 6.5 cases per 100,000 people from 2004 to 2011 (p<.001), whereas utilization in patients younger than 60 increased from 0.59 to 0.93. Linear regression revealed that the largest increase in surgical utilization was for patients aged 65–69 years with an increase of 0.68 patients per 100,000 people per year (p<.001), followed by patients aged 70–74 years with a rate of 0.56 patients per 100,000 people per year (p=.001). Overall complication rates were 22.5% in 2004 and 26.7% in 2011. Although complication risk increased with age (≥60 vs. <60: relative risk 1.91 [1.83, 1.99], p<.001), within-age group rates were stable over time. Mean length of stay was 9.6 days in 2004 and 9.0 days in 2011. Inflation-adjusted mean hospital charges increased from $171,517 in 2004 to $303,479 in 2011 (p<.001).

Conclusions

Operative management of adult spinal deformity increased 3.4-fold among patients ≥60 years from 2004 to 2011, with an associated 1.8-fold increase in hospital charges. Although the exact reasons for the striking increase in hospital charges remain unclear, some of the increase is likely related to decreasing reimbursement of charges by payors over the same period of time. The large majority of cases were performed in large academic centers, and growth in deformity trained spine specialists in these centers may have contributed to this trend. Despite the increased utilization of surgery for adult spinal deformity, in-hospital complications remained stable across all ages.  相似文献

Background Context

Severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity requiring surgery to stop curve progression. Posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion with pedicle screws is the standard surgery for AIS curve correction. Vascular and neurologic complications related to screw malpositioning are concerns in surgeries for AIS. Breach rates are reported at 15.7%, implant-related complications at 1.1%, and neurologic deficit at 0.8%. Free-hand screw insertion remains the prevailing method of screw placement, whereas image guidance has been suggested to improve placement accuracy.

Purpose

This study aimed to systematically review the screw-related complication and breach rates from posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion with pedicle screws for patients with AIS when using free-hand methods for screw insertion compared with image guidance methods.

Study Design

This is a systematic review of prognosis, comparing image guidance with no image guidance in surgery.

Patient Sample

One randomized controlled trial and multiple prospective cohort studies that reported complication or breach rates in posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion with pedicle screws for AIS.

Outcome Measures

Number of complications and breaches reported in databases or recorded from postoperative imaging.

Methods

Databases searched included MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, CENTRAL, and Web of Science. Studies of Level 3 evidence or greater as defined by the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine were included. Articles were screened to focus on patients with AIS undergoing posterior fusion with pedicle screws or hybrid systems. Two independent reviewers screened abstracts, full texts, and extracted data. The Quality in Prognostic Studies (QUIPS) appraisal tool was used to determine studyrisk of bias (ROB). Level of evidence summary statements were formulated based on consistency and quality of reporting.

Results

Seventy-nine cohort studies were identified, including four comparing computed tomography (CT) guidance with free-hand methods head-to-head, eight on image guidance, and 671. on free-hand methods alone. Moderate evidence from individual head-to-head studies show CT guidance has lower breach rates than free-hand methods. No complications were found in these studies. From individual cohort studies, moderate evidence shows CT guidance has lower point estimates of breach rates than free-hand methods at 7.9% compared with 9.7%–17.1%. Screw-related complication rates are conflicting at 0% in CT navigation compared with 0%–1.7% in 13 low- and moderate-quality studies.

Conclusions

Although point estimates on breach rates are decreased with CT navigation compared with free-hand methods, complication rates remain conflicting between the two methods. Current evidence is limited by small sample sizes, lack of comparison groups, and poorly predefined complications. Randomized controlled trials with larger samples with standardized definitions and recording of predefined breach and complication occurrences are recommended.  相似文献

Background Context

Intraoperative monitoring (IOM) is an essential method for preventing postoperative spinal deficits during posterior vertebral column resection (VCR) surgery for treatment of severe spine deformities, but the IOM features directing at VCR procedures are rarely reported and need to be further clarified.

Purpose

To evaluate an important surgical point that will lead to the IOM loss frequently, and then remind the surgeons to pay close attention to impending monitoring changes during posterior VCR surgery.

Study Design/Setting

Retrospective study.

Patient Sample

A total of 77 patients with severe spine deformities who underwent posterior VCR and deformity correction surgeries from January 2012 to May 2015 are retrospectively analyzed in our spine center.

Outcome Measures

IOM (motor-evoked potentials [MEP] and somatosensory-evoked potentials) was used for intraoperative spinal function assessment.

Methods

Patients were divided into 2 groups according to their preoperative spinal function, including 27 patients with preoperative spinal deficits and 50 patients with spinal normal. And the IOM data during surgery, especially among VCR procedures, were mainly analyzed in the present study.

Results

With the VCR procedure almost complete, most patients showed varying degrees of IOM loss that included 37 cases showing obvious IOM degenerations and 21 cases showing significant IOM loss with alerts immediately. Moreover, the patients with preoperative spinal deficits have more significant decreasing percentage in MEP amplitude (81% vs. 68%, p<.05) than those patients without.

Conclusions

With the VCR procedure almost complete, surgeons must pay closely attention to the IOM signals and should be ready to take corresponding surgical measures to deal with the impeding monitoring loss.  相似文献

BACKGROUND CONTEXT

Data on the long-term outcome after fusion for isthmic spondylolisthesis are scarce.

PURPOSE

To study patient-reported outcomes and adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) after fusion for isthmic spondylolisthesis and to compare patient-reported outcomes with a control group.

STUDY DESIGN/SETTING

A prospective study including a cross-sectional control group.

PATIENT SAMPLE

Patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) (n=86) or posterolateral fusion (PLF) (n=77). Patient-reported outcome data were available for 73 patients in the PLIF group and 71 in the PLF group at a mean of 11 (range 5–16) years after baseline. Seventy-seven patients in the PLIF group and 54 in the PLF group had radiographs at a mean of 14 (range 9–19) years after baseline. One hundred thirty-six randomly selected persons from the population served as controls for the patient-reported outcomes.

OUTCOME MEASURES

Patient-reported outcomes include the following: global outcome, Oswestry Disability Index, Disability Rating Index, and Short Form 36. The ASD was determined from radiographs using the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) grading scale.

METHODS

: The chi-square test or analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used for group comparisons. The ANCOVA was adjusted for follow-up time, smoking, Meyerding slippage grade, teetotaler (yes/no) and, if available, the baseline level of the dependent variable.

RESULTS

There were no significant patient-reported outcome differences between the PLIF group and the PLF group. The prevalence of ASD was 42% (32/77) in the PLIF group and 26% (14/54) in the PLF group (p=.98). The patient-reported outcome data indicated lower physical function and more pain in individuals with surgically treated isthmic spondylolisthesis compared to the controls.

CONCLUSIONS

PLIF and PLF groups had similar long-term patient-reported and radiological outcomes. Individuals with isthmic spondylolisthesis have lower physical function and more pain several years after surgery when compared to the general population.  相似文献

Background

Bariatric surgery is an effective and durable treatment for obesity. However, the number of patients that progress to bariatric surgery after initial evaluation remains low.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing a qualified patient's successful progression to surgery in a U.S. metropolitan area.

Setting

Academic, university hospital.

Methods

A single-institution retrospective chart review was performed from 2003 to 2016. Patient demographics and follow-up data were compared between those who did and did not progress to surgery. A follow-up telephone survey was performed for patients who failed to progress. Univariate analyses were performed and statistically significant variables of interest were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.

Results

A total of 1102 patients were identified as eligible bariatric surgery candidates. Four hundred ninety-eight (45%) patients progressed to surgery and 604 (55%) did not. Multivariable analysis showed that patients who did not progress were more likely male (odds ratio [OR] 2.2 confidence interval [CI]: 1.2–4.2, P < .05), smokers (OR 2.4 CI: 1.1–5.4, P < .05), attended more nutrition appointments (OR 2.1 CI: 1.5–2.8, P < .0001), attended less total preoperative appointments (OR .41 CI: .31–.55, P < .0001), and resided in-state compared with out of state (OR .39 CI: .22–.68, P < .05). The top 3 patient self-reported factors influencing nonprogression were fear of complication, financial hardship, and insurance coverage.

Conclusions

Multiple patient factors and the self-reported factors of fear of complication and financial hardship influenced progression to bariatric surgery in a U.S. metropolitan population. Bariatric surgeons and centers should consider and address these factors when assessing patients.  相似文献
