Background

Despite the development of pathways to enhance recovery and discharge to home, a significant proportion of patients are discharged to inpatient facilities after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The aim of this study was to determine the rate of non-home discharge (NHD) following PD in a national cohort of patients and to develop predictive nomograms for NHD.

Methods

The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was used to construct and validate pre- and postoperative nomograms for NHD following PD.

Results

A total of 6856 patients who underwent PD were identified, of which 927 (13.5%) had an NHD. The independent preoperative predictors of NHD were being female, older age, higher BMI, low serum albumin, >10% weight loss, ASA class III/IV, and being diagnosed with a bile duct/ampullary neoplasm or neuroendocrine tumor. A preoperative nomogram was constructed with a concordance index of 0.77. When postoperative variables were added to the model, the concordance index increased to 0.82. The postoperative predictors of NHD were return to the operating room, length of stay of ≥14 days, and any inpatient complications.

Conclusions

These nomograms could be useful risk assessment tools to predict NHD after PD and therefore facilitate patient counseling and improve resource utilization and discharge planning.  相似文献

Background

The objective of this study is to evaluate use of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) online risk calculator for estimating common outcomes after operations for gallbladder cancer and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Methods

Subjects from the United States Extrahepatic Biliary Malignancy Consortium (USE-BMC) who underwent operation between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2014 at 10 academic medical centers were included in this study. Calculator estimates of risk were compared to actual outcomes.

Results

The majority of patients underwent partial or major hepatectomy, Whipple procedures or extrahepatic bile duct resection. For the entire cohort, c-statistics for surgical site infection (0.635), reoperation (0.680) and readmission (0.565) were less than 0.7. The c-statistic for death was 0.740. For all outcomes the actual proportion of patients experiencing an event was much higher than the median predicted risk of that event. Similarly, the group of patients who experienced an outcome did have higher median predicted risk than those who did not.

Conclusions

The ACS NSQIP risk calculator is easy to use but requires further modifications to more accurately estimate outcomes for some patient populations and operations for which validation studies show suboptimal performance.  相似文献

Background

Biliary fistula (BF) occurs in 3–8% of patients following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). It usually pursues a benign course, but rarely may represent a life-threatening event.

Study design

Data from 1618 PDs were collected prospectively. BF was defined as the presence of bile stained fluid from drains by post-operative day 3 and confirmed by sinogram in the majority of cases. Three classifications were validated.

Results

BF occurred in 58 (3.6%) patients. In 22 cases was associated with pancreatic fistula (POPF). POPF, PPH, operative time and a smaller common bile duct (CBD) were significantly associated with BF. Only CBD diameter (HR 0.55, CI 95% 0.44–0.7, p < 0.01) was an independent predictor of BF. Patients with smaller CBDs developing concomitant BF and POPF carried the highest mortality rate (34.8%, n = 8/22). All the existing classifications resulted in discrete categories of BFs when considering hospital stay and total cost as dependent variables.

Conclusions

Biliary fistula is rare, but it can be life threatening when associated with POPF. As the sole independent risk factor is the CBD diameter, surgical technique is crucial. Regardless of the existing classification systems, further studies must assess the additive burden of BF when a concomitant POPF is present.  相似文献

Background

Clinical pathways (CPW) are considered safe and effective at decreasing postoperative length of stay (LoS), but the effect on economic costs is uncertain. This study sought to elucidate the effect of a CPW on direct hospitalization costs for patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).

Methods

A CPW for PD patients at a single Canadian institution was implemented. Outcomes included LoS, 30-day readmissions, and direct costs of hospital care. A retrospective cost minimization analysis compared patients undergoing PD prior to and following CPW implementation, using a bootstrapped t test and deviation-based cost modeling.

Results

121 patients undergoing PD after CPW implementation were compared to 74 controls. Index LoS was decreased following CPW implementation (9 vs. 11 days, p = 0.005), as was total LoS (10 vs. 11 days, p = 0.003). The mean total cost of postoperative hospitalization per patient decreased in the CPW group ($15,678.45 CAD vs. $25,732.85 CAD, p = 0.024), as was the mean 30-day cost including readmissions ($16,627.15 CAD vs. $29,872.72 CAD, p = 0.016). Areas of significant cost savings included laboratory tests and imaging investigations.

Conclusions

CPWs may generate cost savings by reducing unnecessary investigations, and improve quality of care through process standardization and decreasing practice variation.  相似文献

Background

This study aimed to investigate post-recurrence overall survival (PROS) in patients with recurrent extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHC) and to indicate which groups of patients need active salvage treatments.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the records of 251 consecutive patients who underwent curative surgery followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy for EHC. Among these, 144 patients experienced a recurrence and were included for further analysis.

Results

The median PROS was 7 months (range, 1–130). In multivariate analysis, poorly differentiated histology, short disease-free survival, poor performance status, and elevated CA 19-9 were identified as significant prognosticators for poor PROS. Based on this, we stratified study patients into three categories by the number of risk factors: group 1 (0 or 1 factors), group 2 (2 factors) and group 3 (3–4 factors). Median PROS for groups 1, 2, and 3 were 13, 7, and 5 months, respectively (p < 0.001). Group 1 patients showed a significant benefit from salvage treatment, but groups 2 and 3 did not demonstrate clear benefit. In addition, we developed a nomogram to specifically identify individual patient's prognosis.

Conclusion

Our simple risk stratification as well as proposed nomogram can classify patients into subgroups with different prognosis and will help facilitate personalized strategies after recurrence.  相似文献

Background

We hypothesized hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery patients are more likely to be hypercoagulable than hypocoagulable, and that bleeding risks from VTE chemoprophylaxis are low. This study sought to use thromboelastography (TEG) to compare coagulation profiles with bleeding/thrombotic events in HPB patients receiving standardized perioperative chemoprophylaxis.

Methods

Consecutive patients undergoing HPB resections by three surgeons at one institution (January 2014–December 2015) received preoperative and early postoperative VTE chemoprophylaxis and were evaluated with TEGs. Coagulation profiles were compared to bleeding/thrombotic events.

Results

Of 87 total patients, 83 (95.4%) received preoperative chemoprophylaxis and 100% received it postoperatively. Median estimated blood loss was 190 ml. Only 2 (2.3%) patients received intraoperative transfusions. None required transfusions at 72-hours. Only 2 were transfused within 30 days. There was 1 (1.1%) 30-day VTE event. Of 83 preoperative TEGs, 29 (34.9%) were hypercoagulable and only 8 (9.6%) were hypocoagulable/fibrinolytic. Of 73 postoperative TEGs, 34 (46.6%) were hypercoagulable and just 8 (11.0%) were hypocoagulable/fibrinolytic. .

Conclusion

With routine perioperative chemoprophylaxis, both VTE and bleeding events were negligible. Perioperative TEG revealed a considerable proportion (46.6%) of HPB patients were hypercoagulable. HPB patients can receive standardized preoperative/early postoperative VTE chemoprophylaxis with effective results and minimal concern for perioperative hemorrhage.  相似文献

Aim

The benefit of prophylactic drainage after uncomplicated hepatectomy remains controversial. The aim of this study was to update the existing evidence on the role of prophylactic drainage following uncomplicated liver resection.

Methods

Cochrane, Medline (Pubmed), and Embase were searched. The Medline search strategy was adopted for all other databases. A grey literature search was performed. Meta-analyses were performed with Review Manager 5.3. Primary outcomes were mortality and ascitic leak, secondary outcomes were infected intra-abdominal collection, chest infection, wound infection of the surgical incision, biliary fistula, and length of stay.

Results

The incidence of ascitic leak was higher in the drained group (Odds Ratio = 3.33 [95% Confidence Interval: 1.66–5.28]). Infected intra-abdominal collections, wound infections, chest infections, biliary fistula, length of stay and mortality were not statistically different between groups.

Conclusions

The routine utilisation of drains after elective uncomplicated liver resection does not translate into a lower incidence of postoperative complications. Therefore, based on the current available evidence, routine abdominal drainage is not recommended in elective uncomplicated hepatectomy.  相似文献

Background

Gallstone disease is a frequent disorder in the Western world with a prevalence of 10–20%. Recommendations for the assessment and management of gallstones vary internationally. The aim of this systematic review was to assess quality of guideline recommendations for treatment of gallstones.

Methods

PubMed, EMBASE and websites of relevant associations were systematically searched. Guidelines without a critical appraisal of literature were excluded. Quality of guidelines was determined using the AGREE II instrument. Recommendations without consensus or with low level of evidence were considered to define problem areas and clinical research gaps.

Results

Fourteen guidelines were included. Overall quality of guidelines was low, with a mean score of 57/100 (standard deviation 19). Five of 14 guidelines were considered suitable for use in clinical practice without modifications. Ten recommendations from all included guidelines were based on low level of evidence and subject to controversy. These included major topics, such as definition of symptomatic gallstones, indications for cholecystectomy and intraoperative cholangiography.

Conclusion

Only five guidelines on gallstones are evidence-based and of a high quality, but even in these controversy exists on important topics. High quality evidence is needed in specific areas before an international guideline can be developed and endorsed worldwide.  相似文献

Background

As payment models evolve, disease-specific risk stratification may impact patient selection and financial outcomes. This study sought to determine whether a validated clinical risk score for post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) could predict hospital costs, payments, and profit margins.

Methods

A multi-institutional cohort of 1193 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) were matched to an independent hospital where cost, in US$, and payment data existed. An analytic model detailed POPF risk and post-operative sequelae, and their relationship with hospital cost and payment.

Results

Per-patient hospital cost for negligible-risk patients was $37,855. Low-, moderate-, and high- risk patients had incrementally higher hospital costs of $38,125 ($270; 0.7% above negligible-risk), $41,128 ($3273; +8.6%), and $41,983 ($3858; +10.9%), respectively. Similarly, hospital payment for negligible-risk patients was $42,685/patient, with incrementally higher payments for low-risk ($43,265; +1.4%), moderate-risk ($45,439; +6.5%) and high-risk ($46,564; +9.1%) patients. The lowest 30-day readmission rates – with highest net profit – were found for negligible/low-risk patients (10.5%/11.1%), respectively, compared with readmission rates of moderate/high-risk patients (15%/15.7%).

Conclusion

Financial outcomes following PD can be predicted using the FRS. Such prediction may help hospitals and payers plan for resource allocation and payment matched to patient risk, while providing a benchmark for quality improvement initiatives.  相似文献

Background

The Hospital-patient One-year Mortality Risk (HOMR) score is an externally validated index using health administrative data to accurately predict the risk of death within 1 year of admission to the hospital. This study derived and internally validated a HOMR modification using data that are available when the patient is admitted to the hospital.

Methods

From all adult hospitalizations at our tertiary-care teaching hospital between 2004 and 2015, we randomly selected one per patient. We added to all HOMR variables that could be determined from our hospital's data systems on admission other factors that might prognosticate. Vital statistics registries determined vital status at 1 year from admission.

Results

Of 2,06,396 patients, 32,112 (15.6%) died within 1 year of admission to the hospital. The HOMR-now! model included patient (sex, comorbidities, living and cancer clinic status, and 1-year death risk from population-based life tables) and hospitalization factors (admission year, urgency, service and laboratory-based acuity score). The model explained that more than half of the total variability (Regenkirke's R2 value of 0.53) was very discriminative (C-statistic 0.92), and accurately predicted death risk (calibration slope 0.98).

Conclusion

One-year risk of death can be accurately predicted using routinely collected data available when patients are admitted to the hospital.  相似文献

Background

Spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy with resection of the splenic vessels (VR-SPDP) is an effective procedure. However, hemodynamic changes in splenogastric circulation may lead to the development of gastric varices (GV) with a risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. This retrospective study aimed to assess the long-term postoperative clinical follow-up of patients and review the late postoperative abdominal computed tomography (CT) or endoscopic examination.

Methods

From 1988 to 2015, 48 consecutive VR-SPDP for benign or low-grade malignant disease were included. Late postoperative follow-up was undertaken with the use of a prospective database and assessment undertaken by CT and/or endoscopy.

Results

The median follow-up was 76 months (range: 12–334 months). Two patients were lost to follow-up. Gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in one patient. Endoscopy and abdominal CT showed submucosal GV in five patients. Ten patients had perigastric varices (27%), but none developed clinical complications from their varices. All varices occurred within one year after distal pancreatectomy and remained stable during follow-up.

Discussion

Asymptomatic varices frequently occurred in patients who underwent VR-SPDP, but bleeding risk seemed low. Abdominal CT could identify GV and distinguish submucosal varices with a higher risk of gastric bleeding.  相似文献

Background

Current guidelines recommend pharmacological prophylaxis for patients undergoing abdominal surgery for malignancy. Liver resection exposes patients to risk factors for venous thromboembolism, but there is a risk of bleeding. The aim of this study is to evaluate the evidence base supporting the use of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis in liver surgery.

Methods

An electronic search was carried out for studies reporting the incidence of VTE following liver resection comparing patients receiving pharmacological prophylaxis with those who did not. The search resulted in 990 unique citations. Following the application of strict eligibility criteria 5 studies comprise the final study population.

Results

Included studies report on 3675 patients undergoing liver resection between 1999 and 2013. 2256 patients received chemical thromboprophylaxis, 1412 had mechanical prophylaxis only and 7 received no prophylaxis. Meta-analysis revealed lower VTE rates in patients receiving chemical thromboprophylaxis (2.6%) compared to without prophylaxis (4.6%) (Dichotomous correlation test, odds ratio: 0.631 [95% Cl: 0.416–0.959], Fixed model, p = 0.030). Data regarding bleeding could not be pooled for meta-analysis, but chemical thromboprophylaxis was reported as safe in four studies.

Conclusion

This systematic review and meta-analysis of retrospective studies indicates that the use of perioperative chemical thromboprophylaxis reduces VTE incidence following liver surgery without an apparent increased risk of bleeding.  相似文献

Purpose

The aim of this study was to develop a preoperative scoring system to predict the ability to achieve the critical view of safety (CVS) in patients undergoing emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for acute cholecystitis (AC).

Methods

A retrospective review of patients who underwent LC for AC between 2012 and 2015 was performed. The achievement or failure of creating the CVS was judged by operative records, video recordings, and interviews of the surgeons. Independent preoperative variables associated with failure were determined by multivariate logistic regression analysis and a prediction scoring system created.

Results

A C-reactive protein (CRP) >5.5 mg/dl, gallstone impaction, and symptom onset to operation >72 h were identified as independently correlated risk factors for the failure to achieve the CVS. A preoperative risk scoring system for the failure to create the CVS (0–5 points) was constructed using these 3 factors: CRP >5.5 mg/dl (2 points), gallstone impaction (1 points), and time from symptom onset to operation >72 h (2 points). When monitoring the frequency of patients who had a failure to create the CVS at each score, the incidence of failure increased as the score increased (P<0.001).

Conclusions

Using only three preoperative factors, the proposed scoring system provides an objective evaluation of the likelihood that CVS can be achieved in patients undergoing emergency LC for AC.  相似文献

Introduction

The use of adjuvant treatment (AT) in resected biliary tract cancers (BTC) is still controversial. No efficacy comparison has been performed between chemotherapy (CT) and chemoradiotherapy (CTRT). A systematic review of the available evidence regarding adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in resected BTC was performed.

Methods

PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS and The Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant articles published. Only studies including at least 50 patients affected by tumors of gallbladder, intrahepatic, perihilar, and distal bile ducts were considered. Data were pooled using a random-effects model. The primary endpoint of the study was overall survival (OS).

Results

Thirty studies were analyzed with a total of 22,499 patients, 3967 of whom received AC. Eleven cohorts included Western patients and 19 were Asiatic. Surgeries were classified as R0 with negative margins, R1 with positive microscopic and R2 with positive macroscopic margins. Weighted mean OS difference among experimental (AC) and control arm was 4.3 months (95% CI 0.88–7.79, P = 0.014). AC reduced the risk of death by 41% (Hazard ratio [HR] = 0.59, 95% CI 0.49–0.71; P < 0.001).

Conclusions

AC administration gives an OS benefit in resected BTC. The results of prospective randomized studies are awaited in order to define the standard AT in BTC.  相似文献

Background

One of the most serious complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). This study investigated the incidence of POPF before and after centralization of pancreatic surgery in Southern Sweden and its impact on outcome and health care costs.

Methods

The local registry comprising all pancreatic resections at Skåne University Hospital, Lund, Sweden, was searched for PDs from 2005 to 2015. The patients were analysed in three groups: low-volume, high-volume and after introduction of an enhanced recovery program. Only the clinically relevant POPF grades B and C (CR-POPF) were investigated.

Results

322 consecutive patients were identified. The annual operation volume increased almost threefold and the postoperative length of stay and total hospital cost decreased concurrently. The incidence of CR-POPF did not decrease over time. The group with CR-POPF had more complications and prolonged length of stay. The cost was 1.5 times higher for patients with CR-POPF and the cost did not decline despite the increase of hospital volume.

Conclusion

Centralization of pancreatic surgery did not decrease the rate of CR-POPF nor its subsequent impact on LOS and costs. Further efforts must be made to reduce the incidence of CR-POPF.  相似文献

Background

Liver surgery for colorectal metastases (CLM) is moving toward parenchyma-sparing approaches. The authors reported the technical feasibility of parenchyma-sparing hepatectomy for deeply located tumors, but its impact on daily practice and long-term outcomes remain unclear.

Methods

The patients undergoing liver resection (LR) for CLM with vascular contact (first-/second-order pedicle or hepatic vein (HV) trunk) were considered. Those undergoing major hepatectomy were excluded. The authors' technique included tumor–vessel detachment, partial resection of marginally infiltrated HVs, and detection of communicating vessels (CVs) among HVs to preserve outflow after HV resection.

Results

Among 169 patients with major vascular contact, parenchyma-sparing LR was feasible in 146 (86%). Twenty-eight SERPS, 13 transversal hepatectomies, 6 mini-mesohepatectomies, and 4 liver tunnels were performed. Sixty-six (45%) patients underwent CLM–vessel detachment, 25 (17%) underwent partial HV resection, and 30 (21%) achieved outflow preservation by CV identification. The mortality and severe morbidity rates were 1.4% and 8.2%, respectively. The 5-year survival rate was 30.7%. The parenchyma-sparing strategy failed in 14 (7%) patients because of recurrence in the spared parenchyma or cut edge; 13 were radically retreated.

Conclusion

Ultrasound-guided parenchyma-sparing surgery is feasible in most patients with ill-located CLMs. This procedure is safe and achieves adequate oncologic outcomes.  相似文献

Background

The aim of this study was to describe the outcome of patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) and radiological or clinical evidence of metastatic hepatic lymph node involvement who underwent combined hepatectomy and hepatic pedicle lymphadenectomy.

Methods

Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained audit of 2082 patients undergoing liver resection for CRLM between 1994 and 2014. Age, type of resection, CT/MRI/PET detection, location, disease recurrence and survival were analysed.

Results

Combined hepatectomy and hepatic pedicle lymphadenopathy was performed on 76 patients who met the inclusion criteria. 46% of enlarged lymph nodes were located in the hepatic ligament, with 38% retroportal, 38% common hepatic and 33% coeliac nodes. 50% of lymph node resections were positive for metastatic tumour. Pre-operative CT, MRI and CT/PET failed to detect histologically proven lymph node disease in 25/38 patients. Patients with negative nodal histology had a significant overall (44 vs 20 months, p = 0.008) and disease free (20 vs 11 months, p < 0.001) survival advantage.

Conclusion

Combined hepatectomy and lymph node resection for CRLM in the setting of enlarged or suspicious lymphadenopathy is justified as imaging and operative findings are poor guides in determining positive lymph node disease.  相似文献

Background

There is no comparative analysis of the learning curves for robot-assisted and laparoscopic liver resection. We aimed to compare learning curves in complex robotic and conventional laparoscopic liver resections with regards to estimation of the difficulty index score.

Methods

The results of 131 consecutive liver resections were analyzed retrospectively (40 robot-assisted and 91 laparoscopic). The learning curve evaluation was based on calculation of procedures number before significant change of the difficulty index for minimally invasive liver resection or the rate of posterosuperior segments resection. Groups of early and late experience were compared in every type of approach (robot-assisted and laparoscopic).

Results

Significant increase of difficulty index (from 5.0 [3.0–7.7] to 7.3 [4.3–10.2]) of robotic procedures required 16 procedures. It was necessary to perform 29 laparoscopic resections in order to significantly increase the rate of laparoscopic posterosuperior segments resection but without significant increase of difficulty index. The implementation of minimally invasive liver resection started with the robotic approach.

Conclusion

The learning curve for robot-assisted liver resections is shorter in comparison with laparoscopic resections. The inclusion of robot-assisted resections in a minimally invasive liver surgery program may be useful to rapidly increase the complexity of laparoscopic liver resections.  相似文献
