Background
Despite significant evolutions in health care, outcome discrepancies exist among demographic cohorts. We sought to determine the impact of race on emergency surgery outcomes.Methods
This is a retrospective review of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (2005 through 2009) for all patients aged ≥16 years undergoing emergency abdominal surgery. Primary outcomes included morbidity and mortality.Results
We identified 75,280 patients (mean age 48.2 ± 19.9 years, 51.7% female; 79% white, 9.9% black, 5.0% Hispanic, 3.7% Asian, 1.3% American Indian or Alaskan, .2% Pacific Islander). Annual rates of emergency operations ranged from 7.3% to 8.5% (P = .22). The overall complication (18.6%) and mortality rate (4.6%) was highest in the black population (24.3%, 5.3%) followed by whites (18.7%, 4.6%), with the lowest rate in Hispanic (11.7%, 1.8%) and Pacific Islander populations (10.2%, 1.8%; P < .001). Compared with whites, blacks had a 1.25-fold (1.17 to 1.34; P < .001) increased risk of complications, but similar mortality (P = .168). When combining minorities, overall complications were 1.059-fold (1.004 to 1.12; P = .034) higher, however, mortality was reduced 1.7-fold (1.07 to 1.34; P = .001).Conclusions
Following emergency abdominal surgery, minority race is independently associated with increased complications and reduced mortality. 相似文献2.

Background
There is a paucity of data demonstrating the effect race and insurance status have on postoperative outcomes for patients with rectal cancer. We evaluated factors impacting short-term outcomes following rectal cancer surgery.Design
Patients who underwent surgery for rectal cancer using the University Health System Consortium database from 2011 to 2012 were studied. Univariate and multivariable analyses were used to identify patient related risk factors for 30-day outcomes after proctectomy: complication rate, 30-day readmission, ICU stay, and length of hospital stay (LOS).Results
A total of 9272 proctectomies were identified in this cohort. After adjustment for potential confounders, black patients were more likely to have 30-day readmissions (OR 1.51, 95 % CI 1.26–1.81), ICU stays (OR 1.25, 95 % CI 1.03–1.51), and longer LOS (+1.67 days, 95 % CI 1.21–2.13) when compared to whites. Compared to those with private insurance, patients with public or military insurance or who were self-pay had a higher likelihood of having postoperative complications.Conclusions
In patients who undergo elective proctectomy for rectal cancer, non-white and non-privately insured status are associated with significantly worse short-term outcomes. Further studies are needed to determine the implications with respect to receipt of adjuvant therapy and survival.3.

Circulating ghrelin concentrations are lowered by intravenous glucose or hyperinsulinemic euglycemic conditions in rodents 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Ghrelin is a peptide secreted mainly by gastric parietal cells that may play a role in appetite regulation. Circulating ghrelin is abruptly lowered by food intake, but factors involved in ghrelin regulation remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether intravenous glucose infusion lowers ghrelin, and to determine whether glucose, insulin or some measure of insulin action best predicts the effect of feeding on ghrelin. Rats were infused over 3 h with either A. saline (controls); B. dextrose to steady state blood glucose approximately 16.7 mM, or C. insulin 7.5 mU/kg x min, plus dextrose as needed to clamp to euglycemic basal concentrations. During 3 h of infusion, group B had significantly greater (P<0.01) glucose, 17.4+/-0.3 mM, than groups A (6.6+/-0.3) or C (6.1+/- 0.2). Groups B and C had hyperinsulinemia at the end of the 3 h infusion (894+/-246, 804+/-156 pM) compared with saline-infused (222+/-24 pM, P<0.01). Ghrelin concentrations were reduced (P<0.01) in both hyperinsulinemic groups (B=85+/-2; C=103+/-0.6 pM) versus controls (163+/-9). Ghrelin was strongly correlated with insulin (r=-0.68), glucose infusion rate (r=-0.75) and free fatty acids (r=0.67), when all 3 groups were combined, although only the 2 latter variables were independent predictors of ghrelin. In conclusion, neither a rise in blood glucose nor presence of nutrient in the stomach is required for the effect of feeding on ghrelin. The data suggest that whole body insulin responsiveness plays either a direct or indirect role in meal-related ghrelin inhibition. 相似文献
