Objectives

To study the role of cytokines in prediction of acute lung injury (ALI) in acute pancreatitis.

Methods

Levels of TNFα, IL-6, IL-10, IL-8 and IL-1β were measured in 107 patients at presentation and at 72?h in patients who developed acute lung injury. A model was devised to predict development of ALI using cytokine levels and SIRS score.

Results

The levels of TNF α (p?<?0.0001), IL-6 (p?<?0.0001), IL-8 (p?<?0.0001) and IL-1β (p?<?0.0001) were significantly higher in the ALI group. IL-10 levels were significantly lower in persistent ALI (p-ALI) than in transient ALI (t-ALI) patients (p?<?0.038). p-ALI group had significant rise of TNFα (p?=?0.019) and IL-1β (p?=?0.001) while t-ALI group had significant rise of only IL-1β (p = 0.044) on day 3 vs day 1. Combined values of IL-6 and IL-8 above 251 pg/ml had sensitivity of 90.9% and a specificity of 100% to predict future development of ALI. Composite marker-I (IL6 ≥ 80 pg/ml + SIRS) yielded sensitivity and specificity of 73% and 98% whereas composite marker-II (IL8 ≥ 100 pg/ml + SIRS) yielded sensitivity and specificity of 73% and 95% to predict future ALI.

Conclusions

IL-6 and IL-8 can predict future development of ALI. When they are combined with SIRS, they can be used as comprehensive composite markers.  相似文献

Objective

The aim of this study is to predict the risk of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) associated with acute lung injury (ALI) by artificial neural networks (ANNs) model.

Methods

The ANNs and logistic regression model were constructed using clinical and laboratory data of 217 SAP patients. The models were first trained on 152 randomly chosen patients, validated and tested on the 33 patients and 32 patients respectively. Statistical indices were used to evaluate the value of the forecast in two models.

Results

The training set, validation set and test set were not significantly different for any of the 13 variables. After training, the back propagation network retained excellent pattern recognition ability. When the ANNs model was applied to the test set, it revealed a sensitivity of 87.5%, specificity of 83.3%. The accuracy was 84.43%. Significant differences could be found between ANNs model and logistic regression model in these parameter. When ANNs model was used to identify ALI, the area under receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.859 ± 0.048, which demonstrated the better overall properties than logistic regression modeling (AUC = 0.701 + 0.041) (95% CI: 0.664–0.857). Meanwhile, pancreatic necrosis rate, lactic dehydrogenase and oxyhemoglobin saturation were the important factors among all thirteen independent variable for ALI.

Conclusion

The ANNs model was a valuable tool in dealing with the clinical risk prediction problem of ALI following to SAP. In addition, our approach can extract informative risk factors of ALI via the ANNs model.  相似文献

Objectives

The aim of the analysis is to determine dynamic changes in somatostatin (SS) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations during in acute pancreatitis (AP).

Methods

The influence of tobacco smoking on IL-6 and SS levels in the serum of non-smoking (n?=?10) and smoking (n?=?27) patients with diagnosed AP and control group: non-smoking (n?=?44), smoking (n?=?42) and passive smoking (n?=?29) healthy persons was proved. The concentration of IL-6 and SS was determined by means of ELISA. Differences between the groups analyzed were tested using the U Mann Whitney test. The Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlations.

Results

The concentrations of IL-6 and SS were significantly higher in smoking patients with AP and healthy persons when compared with non-smoking population on every day (1 day: p?=?0.0002, p?=?0.015; 3 day: p?=?0.005, p?=?0.001 and 7 day: p?=?0.025, p?=?0.038). Dynamic changes in concentrations of IL-6 and SS in the serum of patients with AP were demonstrated in the ensuing days of the disease. In case of non-smoking and smoking patients, significant positive correlations between IL-6 and SS was observed.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that some of the antiinflammatory effects of SS against acute pancreatitis may be mediated by reducing the local proinflammatory cytokine secretion in the pancreas.  相似文献

Background/objectives

Acute pancreatitis (AP) progresses to necrotizing pancreatitis in 15% of cases. An important pathophysiological mechanism in AP is third spacing of fluids, which leads to intravascular volume depletion. This results in a reduced splanchnic circulation and reduced venous return. Non-visualisation of the portal and splenic vein on early computed tomography (CT) scan, which might be the result of smaller vein diameter due to decreased venous flow, is associated with infected necrosis and mortality in AP. This observation led us to hypothesize that smaller diameters of portal system veins (portal, splenic and superior mesenteric) are associated with increased severity of AP.

Methods

We conducted a post-hoc analysis of data from two randomized controlled trials that included patients with predicted severe and mild AP. The primary endpoint was AP-related mortality. The secondary endpoints were (infected) necrotizing pancreatitis and (persistent) organ failure. We performed additional CT measurements of portal system vein diameters and calculated their prognostic value through univariate and multivariate Poisson regression.

Results

Multivariate regression showed a significant inverse association between splenic vein diameter and mortality (RR 0.75 (0.59–0.97)). Furthermore, there was a significant inverse association between splenic and superior mesenteric vein diameter and (infected) necrosis. Diameters of all veins were inversely associated with organ failure and persistent organ failure.

Conclusions

We observed an inverse relationship between portal system vein diameter and morbidity and an inverse relationship between splenic vein diameter and mortality in AP. Further research is needed to test whether these results can be implemented in predictive scoring systems.  相似文献

Background and objectives

Percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) is used as a first step in the management of symptomatic fluid collections in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). We aimed to compare the outcome of patients with acute necrotic collection (ANC) and those with walled-off necrosis (WON), who had undergone PCD as a part of management of AP.

Methods

Consecutive patients of AP with symptomatic ANC or WON undergoing PCD were evaluated. Primary outcome measures were need for additional surgical necrosectomy and mortality. Secondary outcome measures were need for up-gradation of first PCD, need for additional drain, in-hospital as well as total duration of PCD and length of hospital stay.

Results

Indications of PCD in 375 patients (258 with ANC and 117 with WON) were suspected infected pancreatic necrosis (n?=?214), persistent organ failure (n?=?117) and pressure symptoms (n?=?44). Need for additional surgical necrosectomy was seen in 14% patients with ANC and in 12% of patients with WON (p?=?0.364) and mortality was 19% in patients with ANC as compared to 13.7% in those with WON (p?=?0.132). There was no significant difference in the secondary outcome parameters between patients who underwent PCD for ANC or WON. Complications of PCD were comparable between patients with ANC and WON except development of external pancreatic fistula which occurred more often in patients with WON than in those with ANC (24.4% versus 34.2% respectively, p?=?0.034).

Conclusion

Persistent organ failure in more often an indication of PCD in patients with ANC than in WON and suspected infection is more commonly an indication in WON than in ANC. Early PCD is as efficacious and safe as delayed PCD.  相似文献

Background

Early biomarkers for diagnosis of gallstone pancreatitis (GP) in pediatrics have not been well studied. Reliably differentiating GP from other causes of acute pancreatitis (AP) would allow for early diagnosis and prompt management. We sought to assess biomarkers and clinical variables for early GP diagnosis from a prospectively-enrolled registry of pediatric patients presenting with first AP episode.

Methods

Cross-sectional analysis of a prospective acute pancreatitis registry of children enrolled from March 2013 through October 2016 was performed. Fisher's exact test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used to compare demographic and clinical variables between GP and non-GP groups. A multivariable logistic regression model was derived, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was built using stepwise selection.

Results

114 subjects were enrolled (21 with GP, 93 as non-GP). Median was statistically higher for GP patients in lipase values X upper limit of normal (ULN) on admission, weight percentile for age, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyl transferase. By multivariable analysis, significant predictors were ALT and Lipase xULN. A model built using these two variables for prediction of GP identified an AUROC of 0.85. At a predictive probability of 0.35, the model had an 80% sensitivity, 93% specificity, 76% positive predictive value and 95% negative predictive value.

Conclusions

We have developed a model for predicting GP in children that could help guide clinical management of AP patients. Future studies are needed to validate use of laboratory findings and clinical variables in evaluation of gallstone etiology in pediatric AP patients.  相似文献

Background

Acute pancreatitis (AP) associated with interferon-α or pegylated interferon-α (AP-IFN) has been described, although the causal relation certitude remains elusive. Some recent studies suggest definite causality, although the relation is grouped in class III of Badalov classification of drug-induced AP.

Objectives

Perform systematic review of AP-IFN and assess causality.

Methods

Two reviewers independently evaluated the data and quality of studies extracted from multiple databases on March 13, 2017. Studies selection was based on a priori criteria. Naranjo scale, and Badalov classification were applied to determine causality.

Results

We identified 16 studies that reported AP-IFN with a total of 23 patients. Fifteen studies had moderate to good methodological quality. The frequency of AP-IFN was 7/3450 (0.2%). The median age of patients was 50 years. In most cases IFN was used for chronic hepatitis C. The latency between IFN and diagnosis of AP was (>30 days). AP was mild or moderately severe and improved with supportive management. No mortality was observed. Re-challenge was done in 5 patients and resulted in AP recurrence in 3 cases. Twenty-one cases were classified as probable and 2 cases as definitive according to Naranjo scale. Evaluations of studies confirm a status Ia for AP-IFN according to Badalov classification.

Conclusion

AP-IFN is rare and has a probable or definite causal relation according to Naranjo scale. The evidence supports a class Ia of Badalov classification. Hypertriglyceridemia is not a contributing factor. IFN-induced AP is usually mild or moderately severe, and responds favorably to supportive management.  相似文献

Objectives

To assess national trends of AP (acute pancreatitis) admissions, outcomes, prevalence of AKI (acute kidney injury) in AP, and impact of AKI on inpatient mortality.

Methods

We queried the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database from 2003 to 2012 to identify AP admissions using ICD-9-CM codes. After excluding patients with missing information on age, gender, and inpatient mortality, we used ICD-9-CM codes to identify complications of AP, specifically AKI. We examined trends with survey-weighted multivariable regressions and analyzed predictors of AKI and inpatient mortality by multivariate logistic regression. Additionally, both AKI and non-AKI groups were propensity-matched and regressed against mortality.

Results

A total of 3,466,493 patients (1.13% of all discharges) were hospitalized with AP, of which 7.9% had AKI. AP admissions increased (1.02%→1.26%) with rise in concomitant AKI cases (4.1%→11.7%) from year 2003–2012. Mortality rate decreased (1.8%→1.1%) in the AP patients with a substantial decline noted in AKI subgroup (17.4%→6.4%) during study period. Length of stay (LOS) and cost of hospitalization decreased (6.1→5.2 days and $13,654 to $10,895, respectively) in AKI subgroup. Complications such as AKI (OR: 6.08, p?<?0.001), septic shock (OR: 46.52, p?<?0.001), and acute respiratory failure (OR: 22.72, p?<?0.001) were associated with higher mortality. AKI, after propensity matching, was linked to 3-fold increased mortality (propensity-matched OR: 3.20, P?<?0.001).

Conclusion

Mortality, LOS, and cost of hospitalization in AP has decreased during the study period, although hospitalization and AKI prevalence has increased. AKI is independently associated with higher mortality.  相似文献

Purpose

To study MRI findings of hemorrhage in acute pancreatitis (AP) and correlate the presence and extent of hemorrhage with the MR severity index (MRSI), Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scores, and clinical outcome.

Materials and methods

This retrospective study included 539 patients with AP. Hemorrhage was defined as areas of hyperintensity in or outside the pancreas on liver imaging with volume acceleration flexible (LAVA-Flex). The presence of hemorrhage was classified into three areas: within the pancreatic parenchyma, retroperitoneal space, and sub-or intraperitoneal space. Involvement of each area was awarded 1 point resulting in the hemorrhage severity index (HSI) score. The predicted severity of AP was graded by MRSI and APACHE II score. The association between HSI, MRSI, and APACHE II scores was analyzed. The length of hospital stay and organ dysfunction was used as clinical outcome parameters.

Results

Among 539 AP patients, 62 (11.5%) had hemorrhage. The prevalence of hemorrhage was 1.1% (2/186), 13.9% (43/310), and 39.5% (17/43) in predicted mild, moderate, and severe AP, respectively, based on MRSI (χ2?=?55.3, p?=?0.00); and 7.7% (21/273) and 19.2% (18/94) in predicted mild and severe AP, respectively, based on APACHE II (χ2?=?21.2, p?=?0.00). HSI score significantly correlated with MRSI (r?=?0.36, p?<?0.001) and APACHE II scores (r?=?0.21, p?=?0.00). The prevalence of organ dysfunction was higher and length of hospital stay was longer in patients with hemorrhage than in those without hemorrhage (p?<?0.01).

Conclusions

Hemorrhage in AP is common. The presence of hemorrhage, rather than its extent, correlates with poor clinical outcome.  相似文献

Background

The morbidity and mortality associated with acute pancreatitis (AP) are largely attributable to abnormalities that occur in distant organs, such as liver and lungs. Pancreatitis-associated liver injury (PALI) remains a serious and even fatal complication during the progression of AP. However, the exact pathophysiological mechanism is still unclear.

Methods

In the present study, we used, for the first time, RNA-seq method to reveal pathways and candidate genes associated with PALI in rats. AP was induced by retrograde injection of sodium taurocholate (5%) into the biliopancreatic duct. The RNA-seq results of selected genes were validated by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry assay.

Results

GO (Gene Ontology) and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway analysis indicated that Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway (TGF-β1-p38?MAPK) were involved in the course of PALI. In addition, other factors were also found to be involved in the course of PALI, such as the decreased antioxidant activity, excessive production of inflammatory mediators and alterations in liver metabolism.

Conclusions

The study sheds some new insight on our understanding of the pathophysiology of PALI and provides some clues to the identification of potential therapeutic targets.  相似文献

Background/objectives

Development and validation of a multivariate prediction model for patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) admitted in Intensive Care Units (ICU).

Methods

A prospective multicenter observational study, in 1 year period, in 46 international ICUs (EPAMI study). Patients: adults admitted to an ICU with AP and at least one organ failure. Interventions: Development of a multivariate prediction model, using the worst data of the stay in ICU, based in multivariate analysis, simple imputation in a development cohort. The model was validated in another cohort.

Results

374 patients were included (mortality of 28.9%). Variables with statistical significance in multivariate analysis were age, no alcoholic and no biliary etiology, development of shock, development of respiratory failure, need of continuous renal replacement therapy, and intra-abdominal pressure. The model created with these variables presented an AUC of ROC curve of 0.90 (CI 95% 0.81–0.94) in the validation cohort. We developed a multivariable prediction model, and AP cases could be classified as low mortality risk (between 2 and 9.5 points, mortality of 1.35%), moderate mortality risk (between 10 and 12.5 points, 28.92% of mortality), and high mortality risk (13 points of more, mortality of 88.37%). Our model presented better AUC of ROC curve than APACHE II (0.91 vs 0.80) and SOFA in the first 24?h (0.91 vs 0.79).

Conclusions

We developed and validated a multivariate prediction model, which can be applied in any moment of the stay in ICU, with better discriminatory power than APACHE II and SOFA in the first 24?h.  相似文献

Background

As the firs-line treatment for acute pancreatitis (AP) related infectious walled-off necrosis (WON), percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) are usually accomplished under CT or US guidance, either of which has certain disadvantages. It is necessary to verify the clinical effects of using US and CT images fusion as guidance of PCD.

Methods

The total 94 consecutive AP patients with infected WON from January of 2013 to January of 2017 were included. Among these patients with infected WON, 48 received PCD under simple US guidance (US-PCD) and 46 under US/CT images fusion guidance (US/CT-PCD). The clinical data consisting of puncture data, drainage effectiveness indicators, intervention complications were collected.

Results

The demographic characteristics and disease related characteristics of two groups were comparable. After 48?h of PCD treatment, the US/CT-PCD group achieved a significantly higher imaging effective rate, and significantly lower inflammatory response indexes and severity score, than the US-PCD group (P?<?0.05). The US/CT-PCD group required fewer puncture times and drainage tubes and lower rate of advanced treatment, showing higher operational success rate than the US-PCD group (P?<?0.05). Moreover, the US/CT-PCD group exhibited significantly fewer puncture related complications, lower hospital stay, intubation time, and hospitalization expenses than the US-PCD group (P?<?0.05).

Conclusion

PCD treatment under the US/CT images fusion guidance is a reliable intervention with definite clinical effects for AP complicated with infected WON.  相似文献

Background

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is characterised by two distinct clinical phases. Organ dysfunction and death is initially as a result of a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Systemic sepsis from infected pancreatic necrosis characterises the second phase, the so called 'second hit' of acute pancreatitis (AP). An immune imbalance during the second hit is postulated to contribute to the formation of the septic complications that occur in these patients. The pro-inflammatory T-helper (Th) 17 pathway has been shown to be an initiator of early SIRS in AP, however to date its role has not been established in the second hit in AP.

Methods

Thirty-six patients with mild (n?=?16), moderate (n?=?10) and severe (n?=?10) acute pancreatitis were enrolled. Peripheral blood samples were drawn on days 7, 9, 11 and 13 of illness for analysis of routine clinical markers as well as cytokine analysis. Flow cytometry and a IL-17A ELISA was performed to determine cytokine concentrations.

Results

There were no significant differences between days 7, 9, 11 and 13 for either the mild/moderate or SAP groups for IL-17A (CBA assay or ELISA), IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2 or IL-4. For each of the study days, the mean IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations were significantly higher in the SAP group compared to the mild/moderate group. WCC, CRP and PCT were all significantly higher in severe acute pancreatitis over the study days.

Conclusions

An immune imbalance exists in patients with SAP, however secreted IL-17A is not responsible for the second hit in AP.  相似文献

Background

To date, there still is a lack of specific acute pancreatitis markers and specifically an early marker that can reliably predict disease severity. The inflammatory response in acute pancreatitis is mediated in part through oxidative stress and calcineurin-NFAT (Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cells) signaling, which is inducing its own negative regulator, regulator of calcineurin 1 (RCAN1). Caerulein induction is a commonly used in vivo model of experimental acute pancreatitis. Caerulein induces CN-NFAT signaling, reactive oxygen species and inflammation.

Methods

To screen for potential markers of acute pancreatitis, we used the caerulein model of experimental acute pancreatitis (AP) in C57Bl/6?J mice. Pancreata from treated and control mice were used for expression profiling. Promising gene candidates were validated in cell culture experiments using primary murine acinar cells and rat AR42J cells. These candidates were then further tested for their usefulness as biomarkers in mouse and human plasma.

Results

We identified a number of novel genes, including Regulator of calcineurin 1 (Rcan1) and Sestrin 2 (Sesn2) and demonstrated that they are induced by oxidative stress, by stimulation with H2O2 and by inhibiting caerulein stimulated expression with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine. We found Rcan1 protein to be significantly elevated in AP-induced mouse plasma as well as in plasma from AP patients.

Conclusion

We demonstrated that Rcan1 is regulated by oxidative stress and identified RCAN1 as a potential diagnostic marker of AP.  相似文献

Background

Rhabdomyolysis is a pathologic condition in which intracellular muscle constituents leak into the blood circulation. It is usually caused by muscle trauma. “Spinning” is an indoor form of cycling where participants use a special stationary exercise bicycle with a weighted flywheel and undergo high-intensity cycling classes focusing on endurance. There have been several case reports in the literature of exertional rhabdomyolysis following spin class.

Methods

Our nephrology practices have diagnosed a number of cases of symptomatic patients presenting to our emergency departments following their first spin classes, with histories and creatinine phosphokinase levels diagnostic of exertional rhabdomyolysis.

Results

We present 3 unusual cases of exertional rhabdomyolysis, each occurring after a first spin class. In the first case, rhabdomyolysis developed following 15 minutes of spin class. In the second case, it occurred in a young individual who exercises regularly. In the third case, the patient developed biopsy-proved acute kidney injury secondary to exertional rhabdomyolysis and required hemodialysis.

Conclusion

The high-intensity exercise associated with “spin class” comes with significant risks to newcomers.  相似文献

Background

Multiple factors influence mortality in Acute Pancreatitis (AP).

Methods

To evaluate the association of demographic, clinical, and hospital factors with the in-hospital mortality of AP using a population-based administrative database. The Maryland HSCRC database was queried for adult (≥18 years) admissions with primary diagnosis of AP between 1/94-12/10. Organ failure (OF), interventions, hospital characteristics and referral status were evaluated.

Results

There were 72,601 AP admissions across 48 hospitals in Maryland with 885 (1.2%) deaths. A total of 1657 (2.3%) were transfer patients, of whom 101 (6.1%) died. Multisystem OF was present in 1078 (1.5%), of whom 306 (28.4%) died. On univariable analysis, age, male gender, transfer status, comorbidity, OF, all interventions, and all hospital characteristics were significantly associated with mortality; however, only age, transfer status, OF, interventions, and large hospital size were significant in the adjusted analysis. Patients with commercial health insurance had significantly less mortality than those with other forms of insurance (OR 0.65, 95% CI: 0.52, 0.82, p = 0.0002).

Conclusion

OF is the strongest predictor of mortality in AP after adjusting for demographic, clinical, and hospital characteristics. Admission to HV or teaching hospital has no survival benefit in AP after adjusting for OF and transfer status.  相似文献

Background

Predicting severe acute pancreatitis (AP) is important for triage, prognosis, and designing therapeutic trials. Persistent systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) predicts severe AP but its diagnostic accuracy is suboptimal. Our objective was to study if cytokine levels could improve the predictive value of clinical variables for the development of severe AP.

Methods

Consecutive patients with AP were included in a prospective cohort study at a tertiary care center. Serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, MCP-1, GM-CSF and IL-1β were measured at day 3 of onset of AP. Variables such as age, co-morbidity, etiology, SIRS, and cytokines were modeled to predict severe AP by multivariable regression analysis. Genotyping was done to correlate IL-6, TNF-α and MCP-1 gene polymorphisms with cytokine levels.

Results

Of 236 patients with AP, 115 patients admitted within 7 days of onset formed the study group. 37 of the 115 (32%) patients developed organ failure. Independent predictors of organ failure were persistent SIRS (OR 34; 95% CI: 7.2–159) and day 3 serum IL-6 of >160?pg/ml (OR 16.1; 95% CI:1.8–142). IL-6 gene (?174?G/C) GG genotype was associated with significantly higher levels of IL-6 compared to CC/CG genotype. Serum IL-6 >160?pg/ml increased the positive predictive value of persistent SIRS from 56% to 85% and specificity from 64% to 95% for predicting OF without compromising its sensitivity and negative predictive value.

Conclusion

Serum IL-6 of >160?ng/ml added significantly to the predictive value of SIRS for severe AP.  相似文献

Background

Approximately three million U.S. adult women have heart failure (HF), increasing their risk of adverse perioperative outcomes. While gender and racial differences are reported in surgical outcomes, less is known about 30-day perioperative outcomes in HF patients.

Objectives

To characterize and compare gender and racial differences in 30-day perioperative outcomes in adults with new or acute/worsening HF.

Methods

The 2012–2013 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database of surgical patients (n = 9458) with HF was analyzed. Logistic regression was used to adjust for gender and racial differences in baseline covariates.

Results

No gender difference in mortality (odds ratio = 0.922, 95% confidence interval = 0.0792–1.073, p = 0.294) was noted. Whites were more likely than Blacks to die 30 days after surgery (14% vs 9%, p < 0.001); after adjustment, Blacks were more likely to experience complications and be readmitted compared to Whites.

Conclusions

There was no gender difference in mortality. White patients with HF were more likely to die after surgery than Black patients.  相似文献

Background

Several studies advise the use of risk models when counseling patients for hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery, but studies comparing these models to the surgeons' assessment are lacking. The aim of this study was to assess whether risk prediction models outperform surgeons' assessment for the risk of complications in HPB surgery.

Methods

This prospective study included adult patients scheduled for HPB surgery in three centers in the UK and the Netherlands. Primary outcome was the rate of postoperative major complications. Surgeons assessed the risk prior to surgery while blinded for the formal risk scores. Risk prediction models were retrieved via a systematic review and risk scores were calculated. For each model, discrimination and calibration were evaluated.

Results

Overall, 349 patients were included. The rate of major complications was 27% and in-hospital mortality 3%. Surgeons' assessment resulted in an AUC of 0.64; 0.71 for liver and 0.56 for pancreas surgery (P = 0.020). The AUCs for nine existing risk prediction models ranged between 0.57 and 0.73 for liver surgery and between 0.51 and 0.57 for pancreas surgery.

Conclusion

In HPB surgery, existing risk prediction models do not outperform surgeons' assessment. Surgeons' assessment outperforms most risk prediction models for liver surgery although both have a poor predictive performance for pancreas surgery.

Background

Ischaemia Reperfusion (IR) injury is a major cause of morbidity, mortality and graft loss following Orthotopic Liver Transplantation (OLT). Utilising marginal grafts, which are more susceptible to IR injury, makes this a key research goal. Remote Ischaemic Preconditioning (RIPC) has been shown to ameliorate hepatic IR injury in experimental models. Whether RIPC can reduce IR injury in human liver transplant recipients is unknown.

Methods

Forty patients undergoing liver transplantation were randomized to RIPC or a sham. RIPC was induced through three 5 min cycles of alternate ischaemia and reperfusion of the left leg prior to surgery. Data on clinical outcomes was collected prospectively. Per-operative cytokine levels were measured.

Results

Fourty five of 51 patients approached (88%) were willing to enroll in the study. Five patients were excluded and 40 randomized, of which 20 underwent RIPC which was successfully completed in all patients. There were no complications following RIPC. Median day 3 AST levels were slightly higher in the RIPC group (221 IU vs 149 IU, p = 1.00).

Conclusions

RIPC is acceptable and safe in liver transplant recipients. This study has not demonstrated evidence of a reduction in short-term measures of IR injury. Longer follow up will be required and consideration of an altered protocol.  相似文献
