Background
Few studies have investigated the outcome of pancreatectomy associated with artery resection (PAR).Methods
Retrospective analysis of a cohort of operated borderline or locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients with surgically confirmed arterial involvement. Short and long-term outcome were analyzed and compared in patients who underwent PAR (Group 1) and palliative surgery (Group 2).Results
Of 73 patients who underwent surgical exploration with intent of resection, 34 underwent PAR (±venous resection) (Group 1) and 39 underwent palliation (Group 2). 23 patients (67.7%) in Group 1 underwent combined artery-vein resection (AVR). Operation time was longer and blood loss higher in group 1 compared to group 2. There were no differences in post-operative mortality (2.9% vs 2.6%, p = 0.9) and post-operative surgical complications (38.2% vs 25.6%, p = 0.2). The 1, 3 and 5 years survival in Group 1 was superior to Group 2 (63.7%, 23.4% and Q3 23.4% vs 41.7%, 3.2% and 0, p = 0.003).Conclusion
PAR seems to be safe and feasible in well selected patients and associated with an advantage of survival compared to palliation, in patients affected by locally advanced pancreatic cancer. 相似文献2.

Background
Centralization of pancreatic resections is advocated due to a volume-outcome association. Pancreatic surgery is in Norway currently performed only in five teaching hospitals. The aim was to describe the short-term outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) within the current organizational model and to assess for regional disparities.Methods
All patients who underwent PD in Norway between 2012 and 2016 were identified. Mortality (90 days) and relaparotomy (30 days) were assessed for predictors including demographic data and multi-visceral or vascular resection. Aggregated length-of-stay and national and regional incidences of the procedure were also analysed.Results
A total of 930 patients underwent PD during the study period. In-hospital mortality occurred in 20 patients (2%) and 34 patients (4%) died within 90 days. Male gender, age, multi-visceral resection and relaparotomy were independent predictors of 90-day mortality. Some 131 patients (14%) had a relaparotomy, with male gender and multi-visceral resection as independent predictors. There was no difference between regions in procedure incidence or 90-day mortality. There was a disparity within the regions in the use of vascular resection (p = 0.021).Conclusion
The short-term outcomes after PD in Norway are acceptable and the 90-day mortality rate is low. The outcomes may reflect centralization of pancreatic surgery. 相似文献3.

Background
A more accurate measure of long-term survival among patients who have undergone a successful resection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma may be computed by accounting for time already survived during the initial treatment window.Methods
Patients diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, from 2004 through 2013, were identified from the American College of Surgeons National Cancer Database (NCDB). A risk-stratification matrix was constructed including age, histopathologic factors and the use of adjuvant therapy, given successful treatment and survival at 3-month following diagnosis.Results
A total of 25,897 patients (50% male, 53% >65 years of age) presented with stage I–III pancreatic cancer. The majority of patients had tumors >2 cm size (82%), grade I/II (65%), lymphatic invasion (LI) (66%), and negative margins (76%). A survival advantage for adjuvant therapy was observed among all patients, independent of their risk-profile. For example, a patient ≤65 years of age, with early stage cancer (size ≤2 cm, grade I/II, ?ve LI, ?ve margins) who received adjuvant therapy had a 62% probability of being alive beyond three years (95%CI = 59%–66%). In contrast, the survival probability decreased to 53% (95%CI = 59%–66%) without adjuvant therapy.Conclusions
These results provide surgeons and patients with more accurate information regarding long-term survival, as well as the benefit of opting for adjuvant therapy after successful pancreatic surgery. 相似文献4.

Background
Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) often requires extensive surgery which is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to compare an Eastern and Western PHC cohort in terms of patient characteristics, treatment strategies and outcomes including a propensity score matched analysis.Methods
All consecutive patients who underwent combined biliary and liver resection for PHC between 2005 and 2016 at two Western and one Eastern center were included. The overall perioperative and long-term outcomes of the cohorts were compared and a propensity score matched analysis was performed to compare perioperative outcomes.Results
A total of 210 Western patients were compared to 164 Eastern patients. Western patients had inferior survival compared to the East (hazard-ratio 1.72 (1-23-2.40) P < 0.001) corrected for age, ASA score, tumor stage and margin status. After propensity score matching, liver failure rate, morbidity, and mortality were similar. There was more biliary leakage (38% versus 13%, p = 0.015) in the West.Conclusion
There were major differences in patient characteristics, treatment strategies, perioperative outcomes and survival between Eastern and Western PHC cohorts. Future studies should focus whether these findings are due to the differences in the treatment or the disease itself. 相似文献5.

Background
Objectives were to determine the causes of readmission and assess the cost-effectiveness of high (HQ) and low quality (LQ) hospitals in performing pancreatic resection, by using readmission rates as the measure of quality.Methods
We identified 53,572 pancreatic resection cases from National Readmission Database from 2010 through 2014. Hospitals were risk adjusted and ranked based on readmission. Top 20% HQ hospitals having the lowest readmission rates were compared to the bottom 20% LQ hospitals with the highest readmission rates.Results
The 90-day readmission rate was 27.2% (HQ: 25.7%, LQ: 30.9%, p < 0.001). Compared to LQ, HQ hospitals had lower mortality (2.1% vs 10.2%, p < 0.001) and major complication (10.5% vs 53%, p < 0.001). Major complication during index operation was a major predictor of readmission (RR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.6–1.7, p < 0.001). The optimal cut point of hospital volume associated with low mortality was 70 or more cases/year. Per year of survival benefit at HQ hospitals, the costs were lower by $9,293 with cost-savings of $6.98 million/year.Conclusion
HQ hospitals were cost-effective at performing pancreatic resection and achieved substantial cost-savings by avoiding major complications during index operation and having lower rates of readmissions. Hospital readmission rate is a strong marker of quality of care. 相似文献6.

Background
The relationship of expenditures related to rescuing patients from complications and hospital quality has not been well characterized. We sought to examine the relationship between payments for treating post-operative complications after liver and pancreas surgery and hospital quality.Methods
A retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent hepatopancreatic surgery was performed using claims data from 2013 to 2015 in the Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MEDPAR) database. Medicare payments for index hospitalization and readmissions, as well as perioperative clinical outcomes were analyzed. Hospitals were stratified using average payments for patients who were rescued from complications (cost-of-rescue).Results
A total of 13,873 patients and 737 hospitals were included in the analyses. Patient characteristics were similar across hospitals. Risk-adjusted rates of overall complications were higher at the highest cost-of-rescue hospitals (relative risk [RR], 1.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16–1.58), as well as rates of serious complications (RR, 1.78, 95% CI 1.51–2.09), 30-day readmission (RR 1.21 95% CI 1.06–1.39), 90-day mortality (RR, 1.29, 95% CI 1.01–1.64), and rates of failure-to-rescue (RR, 1.50, 95% CI 1.14–1.97).Conclusion
Highest cost-of-rescue hospitals demonstrated worse quality metrics, including higher rates of serious complications, failure-to-rescue, 30-day readmission, and 90-day mortality. 相似文献7.

Background
Lymph node metastasis (LNM)has widely been recognized as a poor prognostic indicator for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Preoperative prediction of LNM is important for clinicians to decide on treatment. This study was designed to develop a simple and convenient system to predict LNM.Methods
Consecutive HCC patients who were suspected to have LNM were divided into a training, an internal validation and an external validation cohort. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to determine the threshold value of the preoperative serological variables. A nomogram visualization system model was then established.Result
Of the 287 patients, there were 31 patients who had LNM (10.8%), and 21 of 203 patients (10.3%) were in the training cohort and 10 of 84 patients (11.9%) in the internal validation cohort. Sixteen of 176 patients (9.1%) in the external validation cohort had LNM. The serological indices including neutrophil/lymphocyte rate, age, platelet, prothrombin time, and total protein, were included in the nomogram. The areas of the ROC curve were 0.846, 0.679 and 0.738 in predicting LNM in the training cohort, the internal validation cohort and the external validation cohort, respectively.Conclusion
The scoring system constructed using the preoperative serological variables predicted LNM in HCC patients. 相似文献8.

Background
Best practise care optimises survival and quality of life in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC), but there is evidence of variability in management and suboptimal care for some patients. Monitoring practise is necessary to underpin improvement initiatives. We aimed to develop a core set of quality indicators that measure quality of care across the disease trajectory.Methods
A modified, three-round Delphi survey was performed among experts with wide experience in PC care across three states in Australia. A total of 107 potential quality indicators were identified from the literature and divided into five areas: diagnosis and staging, surgery, other treatment, patient management and outcomes. A further six indicators were added by the panel, increasing potential quality indicators to 113. Rated on a scale of 1–9, indicators with high median importance and feasibility (score 7–9) and low disagreement (<1) were considered in the candidate set.Results
From 113 potential quality indicators, 34 indicators met the inclusion criteria and 27 (7 diagnosis and staging, 5 surgical, 4 other treatment, 5 patient management, 6 outcome) were included in the final set.Conclusions
The developed indicator set can be applied as a tool for internal quality improvement, comparative quality reporting, public reporting and research in PC care. 相似文献9.

Background
There have been only a few reports that describe the long-term outcomes of Subtotal cholecystectomy (SC).Methods
A total of 59 patients underwent “reconstituting” SC at our hospital between January 2005 and July 2017. In the 59 patients, risk factors for long-term complications were analyzed. In addition, in the patients with acute cholecystitis (AC), perioperative and long-term clinical factors were compared for patients who underwent SC (n = 48) and those who underwent total cholecystectomy (n = 378).Results
In the 59 patients who underwent SC, long-term complication developed in 14 (23.7%), including residual calculus in the common bile duct (n = 12), remnant cholecystitis (n = 1), and persistent severe inflammatory response (n = 1). Postoperative magnetic resonance image was performed in 35/59 patients (59.3%) who underwent SC. In these 35 patients, the size of the remnant gallbladder calculated by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography was significantly associated with the occurrence of long-term complications (p = 0.009). In the patients with AC, regarding long-term complications, the incidence of residual calculus in the common bile duct (16.6 versus 0.7%) was significantly higher in the SC group.Conclusions
SC was associated with a relatively high incidence of long-term complications associated with remnant calculus. 相似文献10.

Background
The aim of this retrospective review was to evaluate the long-term survival benefits of thermal ablation versus wedge or segmental resection in solitary HCC lesions using tumor size and clinical factors.Methods
Survival analysis was performed on 43,601 patients from 2004 to 2015 in the National Cancer Database with solitary HCC lesions ≤5 cm with further stratification by tumor size, fibrosis score, and type of resection.Results
In patients with moderate fibrosis or less, survival benefit was seen with one-segment resection over ablation in tumors 1.1–3 cm (HR 0.54, p = 0.03) while tumors of 3.1–5 cm received survival benefit from wedge (HR 0.44, p = 0.04), one (HR 0.28, p = 0.001) and two-segment (HR 0.20, p = 0.001) resections over ablation. In patients with severe fibrosis to cirrhosis, wedge resection demonstrated survival benefit over ablation in patients with tumors 1.1–3 cm (HR 0.48, p = 0.01) with no survival benefit of any resection type in patients with tumors of 3.1–5 cm.Conclusion
These findings suggest that the decision to utilize thermal ablation versus resection to extend survival in solitary HCC lesions should include tumor size, fibrosis score, and type of resection. 相似文献11.

Background
Cirrhosis increases the risk of perioperative mortality in gastrointestinal surgery. Though cirrhosis is sometimes considered a contraindication to pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), few data are available in this patient population. The aim of the present study is to identify predictors of outcome in cirrhotic patients undergoing PD.Methods
Patients undergoing PD with biopsy-proved cirrhosis were evaluated. Primary endpoints were morbidity and mortality. Child score, MELD score, and radiographic evidence of portal hypertension (pHTN) were assessed for accuracy in preoperative risk stratification. A systematic review of the literature with meta-analysis was also performed to query morbidity and mortality of patients with cirrhosis reported to undergo PD.Results
Between 2005 and 2015, 36 cirrhotic patients underwent PD; three year follow-up was complete. Median Child score was 6 (range 5–10); median MELD score was 9 (range 7–18). Perioperative (90-day) mortality was 6/36. Median survival was 37 months (range 0.2–116). MELD ≥ 10 was associated with increased mortality (4/13 vs. 2/13, p = 0.004). Irrespective of Child or MELD score, those with pHTN had poor outcomes including significantly greater intraoperative blood loss, increased incidence of major complication, and length of stay. Postoperative mortality was significantly higher with pHTN (3/16 vs. 1/13, p = 0.012).Conclusion
Pancreatoduodenectomy may be considered in carefully selected cirrhotic patients. MELD ≥ 10 predicts increased risk of postoperative mortality. Specific attention should be afforded to patients with preoperative radiographic evidence of portal hypertension as this group experiences poor outcomes irrespective of MELD or Child score. 相似文献12.

Background
This retrospective UNOS database evaluation analyzes the prevalence of preoperative portal vein thromboses (PVT), and postoperative thromboses leading to graft failure in pediatric patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT).Methods
The evaluation was performed in three age groups: I (0–5), II (6–11), III (12–18) years old. Factors predictive of pre- and postoperative thromboses were analyzed.Results
Between 2000 and 2015, 8982 pediatric LT were performed in the US. Of those, 390 patients had preoperative PVT (4.3%), and 396 (4.4%) had postoperative thromboses. The prevalence of both types of thromboses was less in Group III than in the other two groups (3.20% vs 4.65%, p = 0.007 and 1.73% vs. 5.13%, p < 0.001, respectively). The prevalence of postoperative thromboses was significantly higher in Group I than in the other two groups (5.49% vs. 2.51%, p < 0.001). Preoperative PVT was independently associated with postoperative thromboses (OR = 1.7, p = 0.02). Children less than 5 years of age were more likely to develop postoperative thromboses leading to graft failure (OR = 2.9, p < 0.001).Conclusion
Younger children undergoing LT are prone to pre-and postoperative thrombotic complications. Preoperative PVT at the time of transplantation was independently associated with postoperative thromboses. Perioperative antithrombotic therapy should be considered in pediatric patients undergoing LT. 相似文献13.

Background
Traditionally, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas with “high risk stigmata” (HRS) or “worrisome features” (WF) are referred for resection. We aim to assess if IPMN location is predictive of harboring either high grade dysplasia (HGD) or invasive cancer (IC).Methods
Patients undergoing resection for IPMN from seven institutions between 2000 and 2015 (n = 275) were analyzed. HRS and WF were defined by the 2012 Fukuoka international consensus guidelines.Results
168 (61%) patients had head/uncinate cysts, while 107 (39%) had neck/body/tail cysts. No differences were noted between groups with regard to age, duct type, cyst size, or presence of at least one WF. Patients with cysts in the head/uncinate were more often male (55% vs. 40%), had at least one HRS (24% vs. 11%), and more often harbored HGD or IC(49% vs. 27%)[all p < 0.05]. On multivariate analysis, only cyst location in the head/uncinate remained associated with presence of HGD or IC(odds ratio 4.76, p = 0.02).Discussion
Cyst location is predictive of HGD or IC in patients with IPMNs. Head/uncinated cysts are more likely to harbor malignancy compared to those of the neck/body/tail. Additional studies are needed to confirm these findings, however, cyst location should be considered part of the decision making process for surveillance vs. resection for IPMNs. 相似文献14.

Background
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are radiographically identifiable potential precursor lesions of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. While resection is recommended when main duct dilation is present, management of branch duct IPMN (BD-IPMN) remains controversial. This study sought to evaluate whether preoperative quantitative imaging features of BD-IPMNs could distinguish low-risk disease (low- and intermediate-grade dysplasia) from high-risk disease (high-grade dysplasia and invasive carcinoma).Methods
Patients who underwent resection between 2005 and 2015 with pathologically proven BD-IPMN and a preoperative CT scan were included in the study. Quantitative image features were extracted using texture analysis and a novel quantitative mural nodularity feature developed for the study. Significant features on univariate analysis were combined with clinical variables to build a multivariate prediction model.Results
Within the study group of 103 patients, 76 (74%) had low-risk disease and 27 (26%) had high-risk disease. Quantitative imaging features were prognostic of low-vs. high-risk disease. The model based only on clinical variables achieved an AUC of 0.67 and 0.79 with the addition of quantitative imaging features.Conclusion
Quantitative image analysis of BD-IPMNs is a novel method that may enable risk stratification. External validation may provide a reliable non-invasive prognostic tool for clinicians. 相似文献15.

Background
Serum prealbumin is a sensitive and stable marker for nutritional status and liver function. Whether preoperative prealbumin level is associated with long-term prognosis in patients undergoing liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unclear.Methods
Patients who underwent liver resection for HCC between 2001 and 2014 at six institutions were enrolled. These patients were divided into the low and normal prealbumin groups using a cut-off value of 170 mg/L for preoperative prealbumin level. The overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were compared between them.Results
In 1483 patients, 437 (29%) had a low prealbumin level. The 3- and 5-year OS and RFS rates of patients in the low-prealbumin group were 57 and 31%, and 40 and 20%, respectively, which were significantly poorer than those in the normal-prealbumin group (76 and 43%, and 56 and 28%, respectively, both p < 0.001). Multivariable Cox-regression analyses revealed that preoperative prealbumin level was an independent predictor of OS (HR, 1.45, 95% CI: 1.24–1.70, p <0.001) and RFS (HR, 1.28, 95% CI: 1.10–1.48, p <0.001).Conclusions
Preoperative prealbumin level could be used in predicting long-term prognosis for patients undergoing liver resection for HCC. 相似文献16.

Background
Post-operative peripancreatic fluid collection (PFC) is a common complication following pancreatic resection which can be managed with endoscopic or percutaneous drainage.Methods
Patients who underwent either endoscopic or percutaneous drainage of post-operative PFC were extracted from a prospectively-maintained database. The two groups were matched for surgery type, presence of a surgical drain and timing of drainage.Results
Thirty-nine matched patients were identified in each group with a median age of 62 years. For primary drainage, technical success was achieved in almost all patients in both endoscopic and percutaneous groups (100% and 97%, p = NS); clinical success was achieved in 67% and 59%, respectively (p = 0.63). At least one “salvage” drainage procedure was required in 13 endoscopic patients versus 16 in the percutaneous group. Clinical success was achieved following the first salvage. Procedure in 85% of the endoscopic patients and 88% of the percutaneous patients (p = 0.62). Stent/drain duration (59 vs 33 days, p < 0.001) and number of post-procedural CT studies (2 vs 1, p = 0.02) were significantly higher in the endoscopic group. There was no difference in length of stay, complication, or recurrence between the two groups.Conclusion
Endoscopic drainage of post-operative PFC appears to be safe and effective with comparable success rates and outcomes to percutaneous drainage. 相似文献17.

Background
Nodal positivity is a predictor of poor survival following resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of surgical resection on survival in patients with lymph node (LN) positive ICC.Methods
An augmented version of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program database was utilized to identify patients with LN-positive ICC without distant metastases from 2000 to 2014. Patients were stratified by treatment: chemotherapy alone or surgical resection with/without chemotherapy. Survival was evaluated using Kaplan–Meier and Cox proportional hazard models.Results
169 patients who underwent treatment for LN-positive ICC were identified. 88% underwent surgical resection and 12% underwent chemotherapy alone. The median survival for patients who underwent surgical resection was not different from patients treated with chemotherapy alone (19 months 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 17–33 versus 20 months CI 10–27, p = 0.323). A cox-proportional hazard ratio model demonstrated that black race was associated with worse survival (p < 0.05), while surgical resection was not independently associated with survival.Conclusion
Surgical resection for patients with LN-positive ICC may not improve survival compared to chemotherapy alone. Pathologic LN evaluation should be performed prior to surgical resection, to improve patient selection and ensure receipt of optimal therapy. 相似文献18.

Background
While post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) accurately predicts short-term mortality, its role in prognosticating long-term overall survival (OS) remains unclear.Methods
Patients who underwent hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) after portal vein embolization during 1999–2015 were evaluated retrospectively. PHLF was defined per International Study Group of Liver Surgery (ISGLS) criteria and as PeakBil >7 mg/dl. Survival was analyzed using log-rank statistic and Cox regression; patient mortality within 90 days was excluded.Results
Of 175 patients, 68 (39%) had PHLF according to ISGLS criteria, including 40 (23%) with ISGLS grade B/C, and 14 (8%) had PeakBil >7 mg/dl. Patients with PeakBil >7 mg/dl had significantly worse OS than patients without PHLF (median OS, 16 vs 58 months, p = 0.001). Patients with ISGLS defined PHLF (p = 0.251) and patients with ISGLS grade B/C PHLF (p = 0.220) did not have worse OS than patients without PHLF.Conclusion
Peak bilirubin >7 mg/dl impacts on long-term survival after hepatectomy for CRLM and is a better predictor of long-term survival than ISGLS-defined PHLF. 相似文献19.

Background
Microvascular invasion (MVI) is a powerful predictor of recurrence in patients who undergo liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (PA-TACE) in HCC patients with MVI, and further select potential patients benefitting from PA-TACE.Methods
Patients who had HCC with MVI and underwent liver resection between September 2004 and December 2015 were identified for further analysis. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between patients treated with and without PA-TACE. Propensity score matching analysis was used to minimize inter-group differences.Results
A total of 176 patients with HCC and MVI were included. In both the entire and propensity-matched cohorts, OS and DFS were higher in PA-TACE group than non-TACE group (all P < 0.05). In subgroup analyses, PA-TACE showed efficacy in improving OS and DFS in HCC patients at early stage beyond Milan criteria and intermediate stage, but not in patients within Milan criteria. Multivariable analysis identified PA-TACE as a significantly favorable factor of OS and DFS for patients beyond Milan criteria, but not for those within Milan criteria.Conclusion
PA-TACE could be beneficial for patients who have HCC with MVI beyond Milan criteria, but not for those within Milan criteria. 相似文献20.
