Low serum albumin levels and impaired kidney function have been associated with decreased survival in patients with a variety of cancer types. In a retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 84 patients with liposarcoma treated at from May 1994 to October 2011. Uni‐ and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models and competing risk analyses were performed to evaluate the association between putative biomarkers with disease‐specific and overall survival. The median age of the study population was 51.7 (range 19.6–83.8) years. In multivariable analysis adjusted for AJCC tumor stage, serum creatinine was highly associated with disease‐specific survival (Subdistribution Hazard ratio (SHR) per 1 mg/dl increase = 2.94; 95%CI 1.39–6.23; p = 0.005). High albumin was associated with improved overall and disease‐specific survival (Hazard Ratio (HR) per 10 units increase = 0.50; 95%CI 0.26–0.95; p = 0.033 and SHR = 0.64; 95%CI 0.42–1.00; p = 0.049). The serum albumin‐creatinine‐ratio emerged to be associated with both overall and disease‐specific survival after adjusting for AJCC tumor stage (HR = 0.95; 95%CI 0.92–0.99; p = 0.011 and SHR = 0.96; 95%CI 0.93–0.99; p = 0.08). Our study provides evidence for a tumor‐stage‐independent association between higher creatinine and lower albumin with worse disease‐specific survival. Low albumin and a high albumin‐creatinine‐ratio independently predict poor overall survival. Our work identified novel prognostic biomarkers for prognosis of patients with liposarcoma. © 2015 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Background: This 20‐year retrospective study compared the results of laparoscopic surgery with open surgery for patients with rectal cancer to evaluate the impact of laparoscopic surgery on long‐term oncological outcomes for rectal cancer. Methods: We analysed survival data collected over 20 years for patients with rectal cancer ( n= 407) according to surgical methods and tumour stage between those treated with laparoscopic surgery ( n= 272) and those with open surgery ( n= 135). Clinical factors were analysed to ascertain possible risk factors that might have been associated with survival from and recurrence of rectal cancer. A multivariate analysis was applied by using Cox's regression model to determine the impact of laparoscopic surgery on long‐term oncological outcomes. Results: Overall survival, disease‐specific survival and disease‐free survival rates were statistically higher in the laparoscopic group than in the open‐surgery group. The incidence of local recurrence in the laparoscopic group (7.9%; 95% confidence intervals (CI), 4.2–11.5) was significantly lower than that for the open‐surgery group (30.2%; 95% CI, 21.0–39.3; P < 0.001). By using a multivariate analysis, laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer appeared not to be an independent factor for disease‐specific survival or disease‐free survival. However, the laparoscopic surgery was an independent factor associated with reduced local recurrence (Hazard ratio (HR), 3.408; 95% CI, 1.890–6.149; P < 0.001). Conclusion: Laparoscopic surgery did not adversely affect the long‐term oncological outcome for patients with rectal cancer. 相似文献

PurposeUnmarried status is an established risk factor for worse cancer control outcomes in various malignancies. Moreover, several investigators observed worse outcomes in unmarried males, but not in females. This concept has not been tested in upper tract urothelial carcinoma and represents the topic of the study. MethodsWithin Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database (2004–2016), we identified 8833 non-metastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy (5208 males vs. 3625 females). Kaplan Meier plots and multivariable Cox regression models predicting overall mortality, other-cause mortality and cancer-specific mortality were used. ResultsOverall, 1323 males (25.4%) and 1986 females (54.8%) were unmarried. Except for lower rates of chemotherapy in unmarried males (15.6 vs. 19.6%, P = 0.001) and unmarried females (13.8 vs. 23.6%, P < 0.001), no clinically meaningful differences were recorded between males and females. In multivariable Cox regression models, unmarried status was an independent predictor of higher overall mortality in both males (Hazard ratio [HR]: 1.33, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19–1.48, P < 0.001) and females (HR: 1.13, 95%CI: 1.00–1.27, P = 0.04), as well as of higher other-cause mortality in both males (HR: 1.53, 95%CI: 1.26–1.84, P < 0.001) and females (HR: 1.43, 95%CI: 1.15–1.78, P < 0.01). However, higher cancer-specific mortality was only recorded in unmarried males (HR: 1.24, 95%CI: 1.08–1.42, P < 0.01), but not in females (HR: 1.02, 95%CI: 0.89–1.17, P = 0.7). ConclusionUnmarried status is a marker of worse survival in both males and females and should be flagged as an important risk factor at diagnosis, in both sexes. In consequence, unmarried patients represent candidate for interventions aimed at decreasing the survival gap relative to married counterparts. 相似文献

BackgroundSystemic inflammation and low skeletal muscle volume (presarcopenia) have received increasing attention in many malignancies. However, their association and the combined effect on postoperative survival in esophageal cancer (EC) patients have been poorly studied. MethodsEighty-nine patients with EC who underwent surgery between 2006 and 2014 were included in this study. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ≥3.0 was categorized as having systemic inflammation. Presarcopenia was defined as a Skeletal muscle index (SMI) less than 52.4 cm 2/m 2 for men and less than 38.5 cm 2/m 2 for women. ResultsMultivariate analysis revealed that presarcopenia was an independent prognostic preoperative factor for overall survival (OS) (p = 0.004). Multivariate analysis for OS stratified by systemic inflammation revealed that presarcopenia with systemic inflammation (Hazard ratio(HR),20.70; 95% confidence interval (CI),1.34–318.90) was associated with nearly a seven-fold higher risk of death than those without systemic inflammation (HR, 2.94; 95%CI, 1.04–8.34). ConclusionsSystemic inflammation enhanced the effect of presarcopenia on the prognosis of EC patients. The combined assessment of those factors may have potential prognostic value for EC. 相似文献

Oesophagectomy is a technically‐demanding operation associated with a high level of morbidity. We analysed the association of pre‐operative variables, including those from cardiopulmonary exercise testing, with complications (logistic regression) and survival and length of stay (Cox regression) after scheduled transthoracic oesophagectomy in 273 adults, in isolation and on multivariate testing (maximum Akaike information criterion). On multivariate analysis, any postoperative complication was associated with ventilatory equivalents for carbon dioxide, odds ratio (95%CI) 1.088 (1.02–1.17), p = 0.018. Cardiorespiratory complications were associated with FEV 1 and pre‐operative background survival (in an analogous group without cancer), odds ratios (95%CI) 0.55 (0.37–0.80), p = 0.002 and 0.89 (0.82–0.96), p = 0.004, respectively. Survival was associated with the ratio of expected‐to‐observed ventilatory equivalents for carbon dioxide and predicted postoperative survival, hazard ratios (95%CI) 0.17 (0.03–0.91), p = 0.039 and 0.96 (0.90–1.01), p = 0.076. Length of hospital stay was associated with FVC, hazard ratio (95%CI) 1.38 (1.17–1.63), p < 0.0001. 相似文献

IntroductionThe Tumor-Node-Metastasis classification of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) for pT3a tumors includes sinus fat invasion (SFI), perinephric fat invasion (PFI), renal vein invasion (RVI), and/or pelvicaliceal system invasion (PSI). The purpose of this study was to determine the association between these patterns of invasion (assessed individually and cumulatively) with the development of metastases and cancer-specific mortality (CSM). Materials and methodsWe identified 160 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy for pT3a clear cell RCC between 2011 and 2017. The association between individual patterns of invasion and metastases and cancer-specific survival were evaluated with multivariate logistic regression. Cox Hazard proportion ratios and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were generated for patterns of invasion (assessed individually and cumulatively). ResultsThe number of individual invasive patterns was as follows: 97/160 (61%) presented with RVI, 91/160 with SFI (57%), 62/160 with PFI (39%), and 24/160 (15%) with PSI. At multivariate analysis, both PFI and RVI were associated with metastases ( P < 0.001 and 0.028, respectively). PFI (hazard ratio [HR] 4.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.14–7.92; P < 0.001), RVI (HR 2.44, 95% CI 1.18–5.01; P = 0.015), SFI (HR 2.13, 95% CI 1.05–4.34; P = 0.036) had higher CSM, while PSI (HR 1.43, 95% CI 0.65-3.16; p = 0.38) did not show increased CSM. Furthermore, cumulative analysis showed that multiple invasive patterns resulted in worse CSM (p < 0.001). ConclusionsIn our study, PFI was associated with the most aggressive behavior while PSI was the most indolent. Furthermore, the presence of more than one pattern of invasion was associated with worse CSM. These results indicate that reporting of the individual location and cumulative amount of pT3a patterns of invasion in clear cell RCC is clinically relevant. 相似文献

BackgroundPeritoneal cancer index (PCI) is an important prognostic factor in colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases (CRPM), however it fails to consider the time period over which disease burden develops. The volume-time index (VTI) is the ratio between PCI and time from primary tumour resection. MethodsA retrospective cohort study of 182 patients managed from 1996 to 2017 was performed. ResultsAs stratified by high vs low VTI groups, median overall survival (OS) was 23 months (95% 17–46) vs 44 months (95% 35–72) with a difference in 5-year OS of 20.3% (95%CI 10.2–40.4) vs 40.1% (95%CI 29.7–54.1), p = 0.002. No difference in 5-year recurrence free survival (RFS) exists. On multivariable analysis, an elevated VTI was independently associated with poorer OS (adjusted HR 3.20, 95%CI 1.64–6.23, p < 0.001) and RFS (adjusted HR 1.90, 95%CI 1.10–3.29, p = 0.02). ConclusionVTI is an independent prognostic factor for OS and RFs in patients with CRPM undergoing CRS/IPC, behaving as a surrogate of tumour aggressiveness. 相似文献

Background: Several studies have revealed a relationship between proteinuria and renal prognosis in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). The benefit of achieving subnephrotic proteinuria (<3.5?g/day), however, has not been well described. Methods: This multicenter, retrospective cohort study included 171 patients with IMN from 10 nephrology centers in Japan. The relationship between urinary protein over time and a decrease of 30% in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was assessed using time-dependent multivariate Cox regression models adjusted for clinically relevant factors. Results: During the observation period (median, 37?months; interquartile range, 16–71?months), 37 (21.6%) patients developed a 30% decline in eGFR, and 2 (1.2%) progressed to end-stage renal disease. Time-dependent multivariate Cox regression models revealed that lower proteinuria over time were significantly associated with a lower risk for a decrease of 30% in eGFR (primary outcome), adjusted for clinically relevant factors. Complete remission (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.005 [95%CI, 0.0–0.09], p?.001), incomplete remission with <1.0?g/day of urine protein (ICR I) (adjusted HR, 0.01 [95%CI, 0.001–0.20], p?=?.002), and 1.0 to 3.5?g/day (ICR II) (adjusted HR, 0.12 [95%CI, 0.02–0.64], p?=?.013) were significantly associated with avoiding a 30% decrease in eGFR, compared to that at no remission. Conclusions: Attaining lower proteinuria predicts good renal survival in Japanese patients with IMN. This study quantifies the impact of proteinuria reduction in IMN and the clinical relevance of achieving subnephrotic proteinuria in IMN as a valuable prognostic indicator for both the clinician and patient. 相似文献

BackgroundSleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most common bariatric surgery; however, this approach may induce gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Both obesity and GERD are independent risk factors for esophageal cancer, however the impact of SG on risk of esophageal cancer remains unknown. ObjectiveTo evaluate the risk of esophageal cancer after reflux-prone bariatric surgery. SettingPopulation-level, provincial administrative healthcare database, Quebec, Canada. MethodsWe identified a population-based cohort of all patients with obesity who underwent reflux-prone surgery (SG and duodenal switch [DS]) or reflux-protective Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) during 01/2006–12/2012 in Quebec, Canada. For every surgical patient, 2-3 nonsurgical controls with obesity matched for age, sex, and geography were also identified. Crude incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for esophageal cancer were calculated using person-time analysis. Hazard ratios (HRs) were obtained using multivariate cox regression. ResultsA total of 4121 patients had reflux-prone procedures and 852 underwent RYGB. At a mean follow-up of 7.6 years, 8 cases of esophageal cancer were identified after bariatric surgery. Compared with RYGB, IRR for esophageal cancer in reflux-prone group was 1.45 (95%CI: .19–65.5) and HR = .83 (95%CI: .10–7.27). The crude incidence rate of esophageal cancer in the reflux-prone group was higher than that of nonsurgical controls (n = 12,159; IRR = 3.46, 95%CI: 1.00–12.5), but after adjustment the difference disappeared (HR = 2.47, 95%CI: .82–7.45). ConclusionsLong-term incidence of esophageal cancer after reflux-prone bariatric surgery is not greater than RYGB. While crude incidence of esophageal cancer after reflux-prone surgery is higher than in nonsurgical patients with obesity, such difference disappears after accounting for confounders. Given the low incidence of esophageal cancer and slow progression of dysplastic Barrett esophagus, studies with longer follow-up are needed. 相似文献

The aim was to identify prognostic variables associated with survival in 301 breast cancer patients after surgical treatment of skeletal metastases. The study period was 1986–2012. The median age at surgery was 61 (interquartile-range [IQR] 52–70) years. The cumulative 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival after surgery was 45% (95% CI 39–51), 27% (22–32), and 8% (5–12), respectively. The median follow-up time was 1 (IQR 0.2–2) year. Age over 60 years (Hazard ratio [HR] 1.9) and hemoglobin levels <110 g/L (HR 2) increased the risk of death after surgery. Patients with impending fractures (HR 0.4) had a lower death rate. The overall neurological function in patients with spinal metastases improved after surgery ( p < 0.001). The complication rate was 25%, including 14% re-operations. Survival data and analysis of complications of this large cohort of surgically treated breast cancer patients help to set appropriate expectations for the patients, families, and medical staff. 相似文献

ObjectivesSarcomatoid metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) represents an aggressive subset of disease, and a definitive therapeutic strategy is lacking. We seek to define outcomes associated with systemic therapy (including immunotherapy, cytotoxic therapy, and targeted agents) for sarcomatoid mRCC, with attention to novel prognostic schema. Materials and methodsFrom an institutional database including 270 patients with mRCC, we identified 34 patients with documented sarcomatoid features. Within this cohort, we assessed 21 patients who received systemic therapy. Survival was assessed in the overall cohort and in subgroups divided by clinicopathologic characteristics, including the extent of sarcomatoid features, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) risk criteria, Heng criteria, and the nature of systemic therapy rendered. ResultsOf the 21 patients assessed, 2 patients received chemotherapy, 7 patients received immunotherapy, and 12 patients received targeted agents as their first line treatment. Median overall survival (OS) in the overall cohort was 18.0 months (95% CI 6.9–22.0). By MSKCC criteria, patients with poor-risk disease had a median OS of 4.7 months, compared with 20.1 months for patients with intermediate-risk disease [hazard ratio (HR) 0.02, 95%CI 0.003–0.15; P = 0.0001]. A similar difference in median OS was seen poor- and intermediate-risk groups when stratifying by Heng criteria (HR 0.17, 95%CI 0.001–0.12). There was no significant difference in survival in patients with sarcomatoid predominant disease vs. nonpredominant disease (HR 0.62, 95%CI 0.23–1.65; P = 0.34), nor was there a difference amongst patients who received targeted therapies vs. nontargeted therapies (HR 1.0, 95%CI 0.61–1.40; P = 0.36). ConclusionsCompared with previous series and prospective trials assessing patients with sarcomatoid mRCC, the observed survival was prolonged. Although both Heng and MSKCC risk scores may be useful in determining prognosis, further studies are needed to identify relevant biomarkers and define the optimal therapeutic strategy for this disease. 相似文献

Aim Brain metastases from colorectal cancer are rare, with an incidence of 0.6–4%. The risk and outcome of brain metastases after hepatic and pulmonary metastasectomy have not been previously described. This study aimed to determine the incidence, predictive factors, treatment and survival of patients developing colorectal brain metastases, who had previously undergone resection of hepatic metastases. Method A retrospective review was carried out of a prospectively maintained database of patients undergoing liver resection for colorectal metastases. Results Fifty‐two (4.0%) of 1304 patients were diagnosed with brain metastases. The annual incidence rate was 1.03% per person‐year. In the majority of cases brain metastases were found as part of multifocal disease. Median survival was 3.2 months (95% CI: 2.3–4.1), but was best for six patients treated with potentially curative resection [median survival = 13.2 (range, 4.9–32.1) months]. Multivariate analysis showed that a lymph node‐positive primary tumour [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.7, 95% CI: 1.8–6.19; P = 0.019], large liver metastases (> 6 cm) [HR = 2.23, 95% CI: 1.19–2.33; P = 0.012] and recurrent intrahepatic and extrahepatic disease [HR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.2–4.62; P = 0.013] were independent predictors for the development of brain metastases. Conclusion The annual risk of developing brain metastases following liver resection for colorectal metastases is low, but highest for patients presenting with a Dukes’ C primary tumour, large liver metastases or who subsequently develop disseminated disease. The overall survival from colorectal brain metastases is poor, but resection with curative intent offers patients their best chance of medium‐term survival. 相似文献

Background There is growing evidence that tumors of the inner quadrants (especially the lower-inner quadrant) metastasize more often
to the internal mammary chain (IMC). As these metastases are not investigated, patients with lower-inner quadrant tumors have
an increased risk of being under-staged and under-treated and may therefore have a higher risk of death from breast cancer.
Methods We identified all 1522 women operated for stage I breast cancer between 1984 and 2002 recorded at the population-based Geneva
Cancer Registry. We compared breast cancer mortality risk by tumor location with multivariate Cox regression analysis that
accounted for all factors linked to tumor location and survival.
Results Ten-year disease-specific survival was 93% (95%CI: 91–94%). Patients with breast cancer of the lower-inner quadrant (n = 118;
7.8%) had an importantly increased risk of dying of breast cancer compared to women with breast cancer of the upper-outer
quadrant (multiadjusted Hazard Ratio: 2.3, 95%CI: 1.1–4.5, P = 0.0206). The over-mortality associated with this quadrant was particularly evident for tumors >10 mm (multiadjusted HR:
3.6, 95%CI: 1.6–7.9, P = 0.0016). There was no increased breast cancer mortality risk for tumors located in other quadrants.
Conclusions Tumor location in the lower-inner quadrant is an independent and important prognostic factor of stage I breast cancer. Further
research is needed to evaluate if the over-mortality of patients with stage I cancer of the lower-inner quadrant is indeed
a result of under-treatment due to undetected IMC metastases. If so, patients with stage I breast cancer of the lower-inner
quadrant are good candidates for systematic IMC investigation.
Part of this study was presented as a poster at the 28 th San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, December 8-11, 2005. 相似文献

BackgroundPrognostic models for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) include select laboratory values. These models have important limitations, including reliance on a limited array of laboratory tests, and use of dichotomous (“high-low”) cutoffs. We applied a Laboratory-Wide Association Study (LWAS) framework to systematically evaluate common clinical laboratory results associated with survival for patients diagnosed with mRCC. MethodsWe used laboratory data for 3,385 patients diagnosed with mRCC from 2002 to 2017. We developed a LWAS framework, to examine the association with 53 common clinical laboratory tests results (641,712 measurements) and overall survival. We employed false-discovery rate to test the association of multiple laboratory tests with survival, and validated these results using 3 separate cohorts to generate a standardized hazard ratio (sHR), reported for a 1 standard deviation unit change in each laboratory test. ResultsThe LWAS approach confirmed the association of laboratory values currently used in prognostic models with survival, including calcium (HR 1.35, 95%CI 1.24–1.48), leukocyte count (HR 1.40, 95%CI 1.30–1.51), platelet count (HR 1.36, 95%CI 1.27–1.51), and hemoglobin (HR 0.79, 95%CI 0.72–0.86). Use of these tests as continuous variables improved model performance. LWAS also identified acute phase reactants associated with survival not typically included in prognostic models, including serum albumin (HR 0.66, 95%CI 0.61–0.72), ferritin (HR 1.25, 95%CI 1.08–1.45), alkaline phosphatase (HR 1.31, 95%CI 1.23–1.40), and C-reactive protein (HR 1.70, 95%CI 1.14–2.53). ConclusionsRoutinely measured laboratory tests can refine current prognostic models, facilitate comparisons across clinical trial cohorts, and match patients with specific systemic therapies. 相似文献

Introduction The relationship between the timing of surgery after hip fracture and the subsequent survival of the patient has been studied extensively, yet still remains a controversy. This study aims to assess the impact of operative delay on the 1-year survival of patients and on the rate of complications during the postoperative hospital stay.Materials and methods Medical and demographic data were extracted from the hospital records of 651 consecutive hip fracture patients over 60 years old. Information on mortality was obtained by cross-linkage with the Department of Interior population files. The multivariate survival analysis model was utilized to assess the association between the time from fracture incident to surgery and the outcome (1-year survival and postoperative complications).Results The hazard ratio (HR) of 1-year mortality for postponing surgery beyond 48 h was 1.63 (95%CI 1.11–2.40), as derived by the Cox proportional hazards model. Other variables found to be independently associated with decreased survival are: male gender (HR=1.54), mental deterioration (HR=2.94), postoperative mobility (HR=2.45), and severity of pre-existing diseases (HR=1.96). Occurrence of general complications during the postoperative hospital stay was a significant predictor of decreased 1-year survival (HR=1.83).Conclusion These findings suggest that early (within 48 h) surgical treatment of hip fractures is associated with improved 1-year survival. 相似文献

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to determine if the expression of the chemokine receptors, CXCR4 and CCR7, and the chemokine ligand, CXCL12, in completely resected colorectal cancer hepatic metastases are predictive of disease-specific survival, recurrence-free survival and patterns of recurrence. MethodsImmunohistochemical analysis of CXCR4, CCR7 and CXCL12 expression within resected hepatic metastases was performed and correlated with clinicopathological variables, disease-specific survival, recurrence-free survival and patterns of recurrence. ResultsSeventy-five patients who underwent partial hepatectomy with curative intent were studied. CXCR4 expression (hazard ratio [HR] 3.6, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.4–9.1) and clinical risk score >2 (HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.1–4.7) were independently associated with disease-specific survival by multivariate analysis. The 5-year estimated disease-specific survival rates for positive and negative CXCR4 tumor expression were 44 and 77%, respectively (P = 0.005). CXCR4 expression (HR 2.2, 95% CI 1.2–4.2) and clinical risk score >2 (HR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1–3.4) were independently associated with recurrence-free survival by multivariate analysis. The five year estimated recurrence-free survival rates for positive and negative CXCR4 tumor expression were 20 and 50%, respectively (P = 0.004). Neither CXCL12 nor CCR7 expression in tumors predicted disease-specific survival or recurrence-free survival. Forty-nine patients (65%) developed recurrent disease after initial hepatectomy. Negative CXCR4 tumor expression was associated with favorable recurrence patterns amenable to salvage resection and/or ablation. ConclusionsNegative CXCR4 expression in resected colorectal cancer hepatic metastases is independently associated with improved disease-specific and recurrence-free survival and favorable patterns of recurrence. 相似文献

Background: Patients undergoing colorectal surgery are at risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Knowing predictors of VTE could help preventing this life-threatening complication. Methods: We collected data of patients undergoing colorectal surgery at our Unit between 2009 and 2014. Baseline characteristics, type of surgery, and postoperative complications were gathered. A univariate regression analysis was performed with symptomatic VTE as outcome. Pre-, intra-and postoperative clinical factors were separately tested. All variables significantly associated with VTE occurring within three months from the discharge were entered in the final multivariate regression model. Results: A total of 476 patients were included. Symptomatic VTE occurred in 13 patients (2.7%). Six (46.1%) occurred after hospital discharge. Preoperative variables associated with VTE were: advanced age at surgery (OR 2.3, 95%CI 1.8–5.6), smoking (OR 1.7, 95%CI 1.2–2.5), inflammatory bowel diseases (OR 2.1, 95%CI 1.5–4.3), advanced pelvic malignancies (OR 2.4, 95%CI 2.0-4.2), and obesity (OR 1.5, 95%CI 1.1-2.1). Prolonged pelvic manipulation (OR 1.8, 95%CI 1.1-4.3) and steep Trendelenburg position (OR 2.4, 95%CI 1.9-5.0) were intraoperative predictors of VTE, while stockings significantly reduced the risk (OR 0.8, 95%CI 0.4-0.9). Late mobilization (OR 2.5, 95%CI 2.0-4.6) and septic complications (OR 1.4, 95%CI 1.2-3.7) were postoperative predictors of VTE, whereas anticoagulants administered for at least 3 weeks after discharge were associated with lower VTE risk (OR 0.5, 95%CI 0.2-0.8). Conclusions: We observed several modifiable predictors of VTE. Patients with > 2 risk factors undergoing colorectal surgery could benefit from a more intensive VTE preventive pathway. 相似文献

Patients and methods We conducted a retrospective review of patients with pulmonary metastases (PM) from HCC who had undergone curative PM-ectomy
at National Taiwan University Hospital between 1990 and 2004. Univariate (log-rank) and multivariate (Cox’s model) analyses
of survival were used to identify the significant prognostic factors.
Results In total, 34 patients were eligible for curative PM-ectomy. The overall survival rates (Kaplan-Meier) after PM-ectomy were
65.2% and 27.5% at 2 and 5 years, respectively. High alpha-fetoprotein level, positive hepatic resection margin, and short
disease-free interval (DFI) were unfavorable factors for overall survival from univariate analysis, however, only DFI ( P = 0.028) was identified as an independently prognostic factor by multivariate analysis. Bilateral distribution and more PMs
were unfavorable factors for PM-free survival from univariate analysis, with only PM number identified as an independent prognostic
factor by multivariate analysis ( P = 0.017).
Conclusion Patients with longer DFIs and fewer PMs can benefit from PM-ectomy in HCC. 相似文献

There is a current debate on whether triple negative breast carcinomas (estrogen receptor - ER-negative, progesterone receptor - PR-negative and HER2-negative) have a poor prognosis. Our aim in this retrospective study was to determine whether triple negative feature is a prognostic factor for disease-free survival (DFS) in 322 breast carcinoma patients, of whom 80 (24.8%) had triple negative tumor histology. In the multivariate analysis, tumor subgroup (triple vs non-triple, p<0.0001; hazard ratio [HR], 4.2; 95% confidence interval [95%CI], 2.2-8.2) was a significant factor related to relapse, in addition to number of metastatic nodes (>4 vs =4, p=0.04; HR, 1.6; 95%CI, 1.2-2.4), lymphatic vascular invasion (yes vs no, p=0.002; HR, 2.0; 95%CI, 1.3-3.1) and HER2 (positive vs negative, p<0.0001; HR, 5.9; 95%CI, 3.0-10.0). This result indicated that patients with triple negative histology had a poor disease-free survival and this histology was an independent significant prognostic factor for DFS. 相似文献
