Individuals who underwent pancreatic resection between January2004 and December 2013 were identified and included in the study. Persons were classified as having a normal weight if their BMI was < 24 kg/m2 and overweight/obese if their BMI was ≥ 24 kg/m2 as defined by the International Life Sciences Institute Focal Point in China. A χ 2 test(for categorical variables) or a t test(for continuous variables) was used to examine the differences in patients' characteristics between normal weight and overweight/obese groups. Multiple logistic regression models were used to assess the associationsof postoperative complications, operative difficulty,length of hospital stay, and cost with BMI, adjusting for age, sex, and type of surgery procedures.RESULTS: A total of 362 consecutive patients with data available for BMI calculation underwent pancreatic resection for benign or malignant disease from January1, 2004 to December 31, 2013. Of the 362 patients,156 were overweight or obese and 206 were of normal weight. One or more postoperative complications occurred in 35.4% of the patients following pancreatic resection. Among patients who were overweight or obese, 42.9% experienced one or more complications,significantly higher than normal weight(29.6%)individuals(P = 0.0086). Compared with individuals who had normal weight, those with a BMI ≥ 24.0kg/m2 had higher delayed gastric emptying(19.9% vs5.8%, P < 0.0001) and bile leak(7.7% vs 1.9%, P =0.0068). There were no significant differences seen in pancreatic fistula, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, reoperation,readmission, or other complications. BMI did not show a significant association with intraoperative blood loss, operative time, length of hospital stay, or cost.CONCLUSION: Higher BMI increases the risk for postoperative complications after pancreatectomy in the Chinese population. The findings require replication in future studies with larger sample sizes.展开更多

At present, however, they are not systematically measured in all surgical procedures. A more accurate assessment of their impact could help to evaluate the real morbidity associated with different surgical interventions, establish measures for improvement, increase efficiency and identify benchmarking services. The Clavien-Dindo Classification is the most widely used system worldwide for assessing postoperative complications.However, the postoperative period is summarized by the most serious complication without taking into account others of lesser magnitude. Recently,two new scoring systems have emerged, the Comprehensive Complication Index and the Complication Severity Score, which include all postoperative complications and quantify them from 0(no complications) to 100(patient’s death), These allow the comparison of results. It is important to train surgical staff to report and classify complications and to record 90-d morbidity rates in all patients. Comparisons with other services must take into account patient comorbidities and the complexity of the particular surgical procedure. To avoid subjectivity and bias, external audits are necessary. In addition, ensuring transparency in the reporting of the results is an urgent obligation.展开更多

文摘Objective:To study the efficacy of the enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)program on postoperative recovery and complications in patients with gastric cancer.Methods:Eighty patients in the perioperative period with radical gastrectomy were enrolled and randomly divided into 2 groups,the ERAS group and the non-ERAS group.The differences between the 2 groups in terms of postoperative recoveries and complications rate were determined.According to the body mass index(BMI)level,the ERAS group was divided into 2 subgroups,namely group A(BMI<28 kg/m2,n=16)and group B(BMI≥28 kg/m2,n=24).The non-ERAS group was also divided into group C(BMI<28 kg/m2,n=18)and group D(BMI≥28 kg/m2,n=22).The recovery and complications of each group were then determined.Results:The postoperative length of stay and visual analogue scale pain score were less in the ERAS group than the non-ERAS group(P<0.05).Time to first postoperative exhaustion,first postoperative defecation,returning leukocyte count to normal,and stopping intravenous nutrition were significantly shorter in the ERAS group(n=40),compared to the non-ERAS group(n=40,all P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative lower extremity intramuscular venous thrombosis was significantly higher in group D than in group B(χ2=4.800,P=0.028).In addition,the incidence of lower extremity intermuscular venous thrombosis and lung infection in group D was higher than those in other groups.Conclusions:The perioperative ERAS program was associated with faster recovery in patients undergoing radical gastrectomy.For patients with higher BMI(BMI≥28 kg/m2),the use of the perioperative ERAS program was more advantageous.

文摘BACKGROUND Liver transplant(LT)is a complex procedure with frequent postoperative complications.In other surgical procedures such as gastrectomy,esophagectomy or resection of liver metastases,these complications are associated with poorer long-term survival.It is possible this happens in LT but there are not enough data to establish this relationship.AIM To analyze the possible influence of postoperative complications on long-term survival and the ability of the comprehensive complication index(CCI)to predict this.METHODS Retrospective study in a tertiary-level university hospital.The 164 participants were all patients who received a LT from January 2012 to July 2019.The follow-up was done in the hospital until the end of the study or death.Comorbidity and risk after transplantation were calculated using the Charlson and balance of risk(BAR)scores,respectively.Postoperative complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification and the CCI.To assess the CCI cut-off value with greater prognostic accuracy a receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was built,with calculation of the area under the curve(AUC).Overall survival was estimated according to the Kaplan-Meier test and log-rank test.Groups were compared by the Mann-Whitney test.For the multivariable analysis the Cox regression was used.RESULTS The mean follow-up time of the cohort was 37.76(SD=24.5)mo.A ROC curve of CCI with 5-year survival was built.The AUC was 0.826(0.730-0.922),P<0.001.The cut-off was calculated by means of the Youden index with a result of 35.95.The sensitivity was 84.6%and the specificity 61.3%.Survival curves for comparison of patients with CCI score<36 vs≥36 were calculated.The estimated 5-year survival was 57.65 and 43.95 months,respectively(log-rank<0.001).This suggests that patients with more severe complications exhibit worse long-term survival.Other cut-off values were analysed.Comparison between patients with CCI<33.5 vs>33.5(33.5=median CCI value)showed estimated 5-year survival was 57.4 and 45.71 months,respectively(log-rank<0.0001).Dividing patients according to the mode CCI value(20.9)showed an estimated 5-year survival of 60 mo for a CCI below 20.9 vs 57 mo for a CCI above 20.9(log-rank=0.147).The univariate analysis did not show any association between individual complications and long-term survival.A multivariate analysis was carried out to analyse the possible influence of CCI,Charlson comorbidity index,BAR and hepatocellular carcinoma on survival.Only the CCI score showed significant influence on long-term survival.CONCLUSION A complicated postoperative period–well-defined by means of the CCI score–can influence not only short-term survival,but also long-term survival.
