Usefulness of the Surgical Apgar Score to Predict the Occurrence of Major Complications in the Early Post-Operative Period of Major Surgeries: Experience of Two Second-Category Hospitals in Cameroon

Objective: The Surgical Apgar Score (SAS) is a tool for intraoperative stratification of the risk of serious complications in the early postoperative period. It varies from 0 to 10 points divided into three risk categories (0 to 4 high, 5 to 7 moderate, 8 to 10 low). The aim of the study was to evaluate its relevance in predicting the appearance of these complications. Material and methods: This descriptive and analytical study was carried out at the “Laquintinie” Hospital in Douala and at the Central Hospital in Yaounde, Cameroon. The main data were collected on a population of patients over 18 years old and recorded on a survey form. They consisted of variables of main interest and exposure variables. Univariate and multivariate statistical analysis using top-down logistic regression models made it possible to evaluate the association of each variable of main interest and each exposure variable. The association was significant at P Results: Of the 88 patients studied, the SAS was 3 hours. In multivariate, this link persisted only and strongly for the SAS OR (IC) 0.1 (0.1 - 0.2) and p = 000. Conclusion: The study found a specific and powerful link between the SAS score < 4 and the occurrence of complications in the early postoperative period, in favor of its relevance in predicting them.

Relationship between age of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and mode of delivery and neonatal Apgar score

BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)refers to abnormal glucose tolerance during pregnancy,and it is often accompanied by obvious changes in glucose and lipid metabolism,and associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.The incidence of fetal distress,polyhydramnios,puerperal infection,premature delivery,and macrosomia in pregnant women with GDM are higher than in those without GDM.AIM To analyze the relationship between age of pregnant women with GDM and mode of delivery and neonatal Apgar score.METHODS A total of 583 pregnant women with GDM who delivered in the Department of Obstetrics at our hospital between March 2019 and March 2022 were selected.Among them,377 aged<35 years were selected as the right age group and 206 aged>35 years were selected as the older group.The clinical data of the two groups were collected,and the relationship between age of the pregnant women with GDM and mode of delivery,maternal and neonatal outcomes,and neonatal Apgar score were compared.In the older group,159 women were classed as the adverse outcome group and 47 as the good outcome group according to whether they had adverse maternal and infant outcomes.The related factors of adverse maternal and infant outcomes were analyzed through logistic regression.RESULTS The number of women with assisted pregnancy,≤37 wk gestation,≥2 pregnancies,one or more deliveries,and no pre-pregnancy blood glucose screening in the older group were all higher than those in the right age group(P<0.05).The natural delivery rate in the right age group was 40.85%,which was higher than 22.33%in the older group(P<0.05).The cesarean section rate in the older group was 77.67%,which was higher than 59.15%in the right age group(P<0.05).The older group had a higher incidence of polyhydramnios and postpartum hemorrhage,and lower incidence of fetal distress than the right age group had(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in neonatal weight between the two groups(P>0.05).The right age group had higher Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min than the older group had(P<0.05).Significant differences existed between the poor and good outcome groups in age,education level,pregnancy mode,≤37 wk gestation,number of pregnancies,and premature rupture of membranes(P<0.05).Logistic regression showed that age,education level and premature rupture of membranes were all risk factors affecting the adverse outcomes of mothers and infants(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Delivery mode and Apgar score of pregnant women with GDM are related to age.Older age increases the adverse outcome of mothers and infants.

Comparison of transvaginal cervical length and modified Bishop's score as predictors for labor induction in nulliparous women

Objective: To compare the transvaginal cervical length (TVCL) to the modified Bishop's score for prediction of successful labor induction in nulliparous women. Methods: A total of 210 nulliparous women who were diagnosed as premature rupture of membranes were recruited in this comparative prospective study, which was carried out in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Ain Shams University, Egypt over two years for labor induction. The studied women were examined by trans-vaginal ultrasound for measurement of the cervical length (CL) and vaginally to calculate the modified Bishop's score, followed by induction of labor. Collected data were analyzed to compare the TVCL to the modified Bishop's score for prediction of successful labor induction in nulliparous women. The success of induction process was defined as vaginal birth after the induction of labor. Results: One hundred and forty-three women of studied women had CL <28 mm;122 of them delivered vaginally (P=0.030). One hundred and forty-six women of studied women had modified Bishop's score >4;128 of them delivered vaginally (P=0.006). The CL <28 mm was significantly more specific with more positive predictive value as predictor of successful labor induction compared to modified Bishop's score. Induction to delivery time was significantly shorter in women with CL <28 mm than women with CL ≥28 mm (P=0.02;95% confidence interval: 4.9-8.4). In addition, induction to delivery time was significantly shorter in women with Bishop's score >4 than women with Bishop's score of 曑4 (P=0.01;95% confidence interval: 1.6-4.5). Conclusions: Both TVCL and the modified Bishop's score are complementary tools in pre-induction cervical assessment before induction of labor, while the TVCL at <28 mm is significantly more specific with more positive predictive value as predictor of successful induction than the modified Bishop's score.

Comparison of Bishop score and cervical length measurement through transvaginal ultrasound as prediction against labor induction

Objective:To compare the Bishop score and cervical length measured by transvaginal ultrasound concerned with prediction over the success of labor induction.Methods:This cross-sectional observational analytical study was conducted from May 2017 to October 2017 at several teaching hospitals of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Hasanuddin University of Makassar, India. There were 110 samples of pregnant women undergoing labor induction process including 79 samples of successful induction and 31 samples of induction failure. The data analysis used Pearson Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression to see the effect of Bishop score and measurement of cervical length with successful induction of labor.Results: Number of samples with successful labor induction with Bishop score <3 was 25 (31.6%) and Bishop score≥3 was 54 (68.4%), with rate ratio=3.714 andP=0.000. With measurement of cervical length (cut-off point 2.98 cm), number of samples with successful labor induction with cervical length≤2.98 cm was 12 (15.2%) and cervical length >2.98 cm was 67 (84.8%), with rate ratio=3.124 andP=0.000. Multivahate analysis of logistic regression was found to be more influential in the predicted success of labor induction (P=0.014 with Bishop score <3, odds ratio=1.000 and Bishop score≥3, odds ratio=3.779. Conclusions: Bishop score is better in predicting the success of labor induction compared to the measurement of cervical length through transvaginal ultrasound.

Objective:To assess the utility and validation of the Surgical Apgar Score(SAS)in predicting postoperative complications of hip fractures.Methods:This prospective observational study included patients who received operations for hip fractures from 1st March 2017 to 30th June 2018 at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery,Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College.Patients were followed at the outpatient department,and complications and mortality were recorded through phone calls.The predictability of SAS for postoperative complications was assessed.Results:SAS≤4 was found as a significant predictor for postoperative pulmonary(P=0.008)and cardiac complications(P=0.042)as well as blood transfusion required to optimize postoperative hemoglobin(P=0.03)in the patients with hip fractures.Conclusions:SAS provides reliable feedback information about patients'postoperative risk during the surgery.Hip fracture patients with scores≤4 should be monitored for major complications both during the hospital admission and after the discharge.

Utility of the Surgical Apgar Score in pancreatic cancer and modification

Objectives:The Surgical Apgar Score(SAS)can predict the incidence of complications in different surgical fields.However,it is rarely studied in pancreatic cancer.The aim of the present study was to assess the predictive value of the SAS in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC),and then propose a modified SAS which was more suitable for pancreatic cancer patients.Materials and methods:A prospective cohort study of 160 PDAC patients was concluded.The primary endpoint was 30-day major complications.The SAS was calculated as described.The overall discriminatory power of the score was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curves and the area under the curve(AUC)with respect to major complications or death.Results:It showed a significant predictive value of SAS in major complications or death in PDAC(p=0.020,AUC=0.606),especially in complication of pneumonia(p=0.022)and pleural effusion(p=0.023).In addition,the SAS exert significant predictive value in distal pancreatectomy group,but it has a weak predictive value for pancreaticoduodenectomy group.On multivariable analyses,occurrence of major postoperative complications was associated with lowest mean arterial pressure,estimated blood loss and operative time.Interestingly,as a characteristic of SAS,lowest heart rate was not involved.The modified SAS we proposed including lowest mean arterial pressure,estimated blood loss and operative time increased AUC from 0.606 to 0.743.Conclusions:The SAS can be a simple,rapid scoring system that effectively predicts major postoperative complications.Besides,the modified SAS we proposed in this study,which included lowest mean arterial pressure,estimated blood loss and operative time,exert a better predictive value in PDAC patients.

Surgical apgar score predicts early complication in transfemoral amputees:Retrospective study of 170 major amputations

AIM To assess whether the surgical apgar score(SAS) is a prognostic tool capable of identifying patients at risk of major complications following lower extremity amputations surgery.METHODS This was a single-center,retrospective observational cohort study conducted between January 2013 and April 2015. All patients who had either a primary transtibial amputation(TTA) or transfemoral amputation(TFA) conducted at our institution during the study period were assessed for inclusion. All TTA patients underwent a standardized one-stage operative procedure(ad modum Persson amputation) performed approximately 10 cm below the knee joint. All TTA procedures were performedwith sagittal flaps. TFA procedures were performed in one stage with amputation approximately 10 cm above the knee joint,performed with anterior/posterior flaps. Trained residents or senior consultants performed the surgical procedures. The SAS is based on intraoperative heart rate,blood pressure and blood loss. Intraoperative parameters of interest were collected by revising electronic health records. The first author of this study calculated the SAS. Data regarding major complications were not revealed to the author until after the calculation of SAS. The SAS results were arranged into four groups(SAS 0-4,SAS 5-6,SAS 7-8 and SAS 9-10). The cohort was then divided into two groups representing low-risk(SAS ≥ 7) and highrisk patients(SAS < 7) using a previously established threshold. The outcome of interest was the occurrence of major complications and death within 30-d of surgery.RESULTS A logistic regression model with SAS 9-10 as a reference showed a significant linear association between lower SAS and more postoperative complications [all patients: OR = 2.00(1.33-3.03),P = 0.001]. This effect was pronounced for TFA [OR = 2.61(1.52-4.47),P < 0.001]. A significant increase was observed for the high-risk group compared to the low-risk group for all patients [OR = 2.80(1.40-5.61),P = 0.004] and for the TFA sub-group [OR = 3.82(1.5-9.42),P = 0.004]. The AUC from the models were estimated as follows: All patients = [0.648(0.562-0.733),P = 0.001],for TFA patients = [0.710(0.606-0.813),P < 0.001] and for TTA patients = [0.472(0.383-0.672),P = 0.528]. This indicates moderate discriminatory power of the SAS in predicting postoperative complications among TFA patients.CONCLUSION SAS provides information regarding the potential development of complications following TFA. The SAS is especially useful when patients are divided into high- and low-risk groups.

The Differences of Cord Blood Troponin I (TnI) Level between Normal and Asphyxiated Infants and Its Correlation with APGAR Score

Asphyxia could increase infant morbidity and mortality. Ante- and intrapartum cardiotocography (CTG) examination could lead to a false positive diagnosis of asphyxia (fetal distress). Troponin I (TnI) is an important factor to the pathogenesis of asphyxia. Cord blood TnI level is increased in infants with fetal cardiac dysfunction, causing pathological CTG and low APGAR score (<7). In the future, TnI is expected to reduce false positive diagnosis of asphyxia caused by CTG. This research was conducted to examine and analyze the differences of cord blood TnI level between normal and asphyxiated infants and to determine the correlation between TnI level and APGAR score. An observational analytical cross sectional study was conducted to a total of 36 patients with asphyxiated infants (18 patients) and normal infants (18 patients). Subjects were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Cardiotocography, TnI level, and APGAR score were examined. Umbilical cord blood samples were taken from each subject for the measurement of TnIlevel using a highly sensitive indirect sandwich Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Statistical analysis was performed by Mann-Whitney and Rank Spearman correlation coefficient test. Cord blood TnI level of asphyxia andnormal groups were 1615.77 ± 1199.98 pg/mL and 819.88 ± 145.82 pg/mLrespectively (p ≤ 0.05). Rank Spearman correlation coefficient between cord blood TnI level and 1’ and 5’ APGAR score was -0.523 (p = 0.026;p ≤ 0.05)and -0.502 respectively (p = 0.034;p ≤ 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between cord blood TnI level of asphyxia and normal groups;cord blood TnI level of asphyxia group was higher than normal group. Furthermore, negative correlation was observed between cord blood TnI level and APGAR score.

目的探讨极低/超低出生体重儿生后1 min低Apgar评分(≤7分)的危险因素。方法回顾性收集2018年1月-2019年12月江苏省新生儿重症监护病房母乳喂养质量改进临床研究协作组多中心临床数据库极低/超低出生体重儿的临床资料。按生后1 min Apgar评分分为低Apgar评分组(Apgar评分≤7分)和正常Apgar评分组(Apgar评分>7分)。采用多因素logistic回归分析法探讨生后1 min低Apgar评分的影响因素。采用受试者操作特征曲线(receiver operating characteristic curve,ROC曲线)分析评价相关指标对生后1 min低Apgar评分的预测价值。结果纳入1809例极低/超低出生体重儿。1 min低Apgar评分发生率为52.90%(957/1809)。多因素logistic回归分析显示:胎龄越大,患儿出现1 min低Apgar评分的风险越小(OR=0.853,P<0.05);出生体重越大,患儿出现1 min低Apgar评分的风险越小(OR=0.999,P<0.05);羊水异常的患儿出现1 min低Apgar评分的风险较高(OR=1.646,P<0.05);产前使用糖皮质激素的患儿出现1 min低Apgar评分的风险较低(OR=0.502,P<0.05)。ROC曲线分析显示,胎龄、出生体重、羊水异常和产前使用糖皮质激素4个指标联合预测出现1 min低Apgar评分的灵敏度为0.554,特异度为0.680。结论低胎龄、低出生体重、羊水异常可增加极低/超低出生体重儿生后1 min低Apgar评分的风险,产前积极使用糖皮质激素有利于降低生后1 min低Apgar评分的风险。

Epidemiology and region-specific risk factors for low Apgar scores in China:a nationwide study

Background Neonatal asphyxia is a serious public health issue.This study aimed to determine the epidemiology and region-specific risk factors for low Apgar scores,an important proxy for neonatal asphyxia,in China from 2015 to 2016.Methods The China Labor and Delivery Survey was a multicenter cross-sectional study including 96 hospitals distributed in 24(out of 34)provinces.Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the risk factors for a low Apgar score(<7).Correspondence analyses were performed among neonates with low Apgar scores to explore the relationship between risk factors and geographical regions.The population attributable risk percentage(PAR%)was calculated for each region-specific risk factor.Results A total of 72,073 live births,including 320 births with low Apgar scores,were used for the analysis,giving a weighted rate of 3.9/1000 live births.There was a substantial difference in the incidence of low Apgar scores by geographic region,from 2.3/1000 live births in East China to 10.9/1000 live births in Northeast China.Maternal and obstetric factors are the major region-specific risk factors.In Southwest China,hypertensive disorders in pregnancy were more important contributors,with PAR% being 74.47%;in North and Northwest China,pre-pregnancy underweight was a more significant factor,with PAR% of 62.92%;in East China,infants born between 0:00 a.m.and 7:59 a.m.were a key factor,with PAR% of 80.44%.Conclusion Strategies based on region-specific risk factors should be considered to reduce the burden of low Apgar scores in China.
