Gu X, Zhou W, Han J. Factors Affecting the Readmission of Patients with Pancreatic Cancer after Surgery. Appl Bionics Biomech 2022; 2022:6106914. [PMID: 35528536 PMCID: PMC9076323 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6106914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest solid malignancies. Its surgical resection is technically very challenging and has a high risk of complications even after discharge. This study analyzed the risk factors associated with unplanned readmission after pancreatic cancer surgery. Methods Pancreatic cancer patients who were readmitted within 30 days after surgery were classified as the observation group, while those not readmitted within 30 days postsurgery were classified as the control group. The serum levels of gastrointestinal hormones, stress hormones, and peripheral immune cells of the two groups were compared at different intervals. Results No significant differences in gender and age were observed between the two groups. At 7, 14, and 21 days postsurgery, the levels of gastrointestinal hormones motilin, gastrin, calcitonin gene-related peptide, and growth hormone-releasing peptide of the observation group were lower than the control group, while the levels of adrenocorticotropin, renin, angiotensin, and plasma aldosterone of the observation group were significantly higher than the control group. In addition, compared to the control group, lower levels of CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, and NKT cells and higher levels of Treg, Breg, and MDSC cells were observed in the peripheral blood of the observation group. Conclusion The serum levels of gastrointestinal hormones, stress hormones, and peripheral immune cells could be associated with the risk of unplanned readmission within 30 days after pancreatic cancer surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) improves short-term outcomes after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery, but its benefits on oncological results remain unclear. The objectives of this study are (1) to compare 5-year overall survival (OS) following non-metastatic CRC surgery between ERAS and conventional care (CC), and (2) to evaluate the association between ERAS compliance and OS. METHODS Patients undergoing curative resection for stage I-III CRC in a university hospital were reviewed. Utilizing the 2010-2012 CRC registry, 5-year OS of surgical patients between ERAS and CC were compared. Utilizing the 2010-2016 ERAS registry, 5-year OS between patients with high ERAS compliance (≥ 70%) and their counterparts were compared. RESULTS Between 2010 and 2012, 349 patients had curative surgery: 70 (20%) with ERAS and 279 (80%) with CC. The 5-year OS was 80.3% in ERAS and 65.6% in CC (HR 0.54, 95%CI 0.33-0.88, p = 0.014). After adjustment with other variables, ERAS was associated with better 5-year OS for stage III CRC only (72.6% vs. 57.2%, adjusted HR 0.54, 95%CI 0.30-0.98, p = 0.041). Regarding ERAS compliance, 320 patients were reviewed: 232 (73%) with high compliance. The 5-year OS was 83.9% in high compliance and 69.6% in low compliance (HR 0.49, 95% CI 0.29-0.83, p = 0.007). After adjustment with cancer staging, high compliance had better 5-year OS in stage III CRC only (80.5% vs. 60.7%, adjusted HR 0.44, 95%CI 0.23-0.84, p = 0.013). CONCLUSION ERAS was associated with improved 5-year OS following non-metastatic CRC surgery (especially stage III disease) than CC. High ERAS compliance had better OS than its counterpart.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction remains a major determinant of the duration of stay after complex abdominal surgery. This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of heated fennel therapy in accelerating the recovery of gastrointestinal function. METHODS This surgeon-blinded, prospective randomized controlled study included 381 patients with hepatobiliary, pancreatic, and gastric tumors who were divided into 2 groups. The patients in the experimental groups received heated fennel therapy, and those in the control groups received heated rice husk therapy. We compared the baseline characteristics, time to first postoperative flatus and defecation, fasting time, duration of postoperative hospital stay, grading of abdominal pain, classification of abdominal distension, inflammatory markers, and nutritional status indicators. RESULTS The time to first flatus and first defecation and the fasting time were statistically significantly less in the heated fennel therapy group than those in the control groups (P < .05 each); and abdominal distension was also relieved in the experimental groups (P < .001). Heated fennel therapy had no obvious beneficial effect on inflammatory markers but improved the serum albumin (ALB) level of the patients at postop day 9 (P < .001). Among the patients with alimentary tract reconstruction, those in the heated fennel therapy group had a clinically important, lesser hospital stay than those in the control group (9.2 5 ± 5.1 versus 11.1 ± 6.4; P < .023). CONCLUSION Heated fennel therapy facilitated the gastrointestinal motility function of patients early postoperatively.

Abstract
Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) is a form of acupuncture treatment that applies electrical stimulation on specific acupoint through cutaneous electrodes. This technique has been used for perioperative anesthesia management as part of after surgery recovery. However, to date, limited data are available for using the TEAS for postoperative recovery in elderly surgical patients. We conducted this prospective randomized sham-control trail to evaluate the efficacy of TEAS in a group of elderly patients receiving knee surgery under epidural anesthesia. 52 subjects were assigned to either the experimental group (Group E) or control group (Group C). The patients in Group E received TEAS at zusanli (ST36), sanyinjiao (SP6), neiguan (PC6), and quchi acupoints (LI11) 30[Formula: see text]min prior to the epidural anesthesia and postoperative day 1 and 2, while patients in Group C received sham TEAS on the same acupoints for 30[Formula: see text]min same as those of Group E. The primary endpoint was the Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire (QR-40) and the secondary endpoints were the biomarkers level of stress and inflammatory responses and visual analogue scale (VAS). A one-way ANOVA (SNK method) was used in statistic, and [Formula: see text] is considered to be statistically significant. Our data showed that the QoR-40 was significantly lower in Group C than that in Group E at postoperative day 1 ([Formula: see text]); Similarly, Cortisol (COR), Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were significantly lower in Group E than those of Group C at postoperative day 1, 3, and 7 ([Formula: see text]), while the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (N/L) was lower in Group E than that in Group C at postoperative day 1 and 3 ([Formula: see text]). Our results showed that perioperative TEAS administration is able to facilitate the development of postoperative recovery of elderly patients, especially at the early stage after surgery. The reported results are likely to be mediated by the reduction of surgical inflammation and perioperative stress response.

Abstract
PURPOSE Immunonutrition has been used to prevent the complications after colorectal elective surgery. This systematic review aimed to analyze and assess the effect of immunonutrition on colorectal cancer patients who received elective surgery. METHODS Three electronic databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane) were used to search the latent studies which investigated the effects of enteral immunonutrition (EIN) compared with standard enteral nutrition (EN) or parenteral immunonutrition (PIN) compared with standard parenteral nutrition (PN) on colorectal cancer patients who are undergoing surgery until 21st of April, 2017. Meta-analysis was conducted to calculate odd risk (OR), mean difference (MD), or standard mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI), and heterogeneity was tested by Q test. RESULTS Nine publications were included. The meta-analysis results presented that EIN improved the length of hospital stay (pooled MD, 2.53; 95% CI, 1.29-3.41), infectious complications (pooled OR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.21-0.53) which contains the Surgical Site Infections (pooled OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.22-0.58) and Superficial/Deep incisional infections (pooled OR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.12-0.64); meanwhile, PIN improved the length of hospital stay (pooled MD, 2.66; 95% CI, 0.62-4.76), IL-6 (pooled MD, - 6.09; 95% CI, - 10.11 to - 2.07), CD3 (pooled MD, 7.50; 95% CI, 3.57-11.43), CD4 (pooled MD, 5.47; 95% CI, 2.54-8.40), and CD4/CD8 (pooled MD, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.22-0.78); the level of CD8 was lower (pooled MD, - 4.32; 95% CI, - 7.09 to - 1.55) in PIN. CONCLUSION Immunonutrition could be an effective approach to enhance the immune function of colorectal cancer patients undergoing elective surgery and to improve the clinical and laboratory outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report our center's experience with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway for radical cystectomy (RC), specifically evaluating complications, LOS, 30- and 90-day readmissions, and hospital charges. Pathways of this type have been shown to decrease the length of stay (LOS) and postoperative ileus. However, concerns persist that ERAS is costly and increases readmissions. To date, limited studies have evaluated these concerns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our ERAS protocol was implemented for RC in December 2015. Outcomes in ERAS patients were compared with those in RC patients from the time period before ERAS. Patients were excluded if they underwent concomitant nephroureterectomy. RESULTS Fifty-six consecutive ERAS patients were compared with 54 pre-ERAS patients. The median charge for index hospitalization was $31,090 in the ERAS group and $35,489 in the pre-ERAS group (P = .036). The median LOS was 5.0 days in the ERAS group and 8.5 days in the pre-ERAS group (P = < .001). The pre-ERAS group had a significantly increased use of nasogastric tube (13.8% vs 30.0%) and parenteral nutrition (6.9% vs 20.4%). The overall complication rate (including infectious, renal, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction and stroke, and respiratory and gastrointestinal-related complications) was similar between the 2 groups (51.7% in the ERAS group and 62.0% in the pre-ERAS group, P = .28). Thirty- and 90-day readmissions also remained similar (19.0% vs 14.8%, P = .55, and 31.0% vs 27.7%, P = .64). The most common readmission reason was infection, specifically urinary tract infection. CONCLUSION Implementation of the ERAS pathway at our center resulted in significantly reduced LOS and total hospital charge, with comparable rates of complication and readmission, highlighting the need for ERAS pathways in patients undergoing RC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report 90-day complication rates following radical cystectomy (RC) with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol. METHODS All consecutive patients who underwent open RC with ERAS protocol from 2012 to 2014 were included. The protocol includes no bowel preparation or NGT, early feeding, predominantly non-narcotic pain management and μ-opioid antagonists. Non-consenting and lost to follow-up patients were excluded. All patients were closely followed up, and 90-day complication (Clavien-Dindo grading), readmission and emergency room (ER) visits were prospectively recorded. RESULTS One hundred and sixty-nine cases with a median age of 71 years were included in the study. 90-Day major and minor complication rates were 24.3 and 53.9 %, respectively. The most common complications were infectious and gastrointestinal. The 90-day ER visit rate was 37.9 %, whereas the readmission rate was 29.6 %. The most common cause of hospital readmission and ER visits was infections. CONCLUSION Radical cystectomy and urinary diversion with enhanced recovery protocol is a morbid surgery. The most common complication, cause of ER visit and readmission is yet infections. Further studies on methods to decrease these rates are underway.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the opioid-sparing effect of selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors on short-term surgical outcomes after open colorectal surgery. METHODS Patients undergoing open colorectal resection within an enhanced recovery after surgery protocol from 2011 to 2015 were reviewed. Patients with combined general anesthesia and epidural anesthesia, and those with acute colonic obstruction or perforation were excluded. Patients receiving selective COX-2 inhibitor were compared with well-matched individuals without such a drug. Outcome measures included numeric pain score and morphine milligram equivalent (MME) consumption on postoperative day (POD) 1-3, gastrointestinal recovery (time to tolerate solid diet and time to defecate), complications and length of postoperative stay. RESULTS There were 75 patients in each group. Pain score on POD 1-3 was not significantly different between two groups. However, MME consumption and MME consumption per kilogram body weight on POD 1-3 was significantly less in patients receiving a selective COX-2 inhibitor (P < 0.001). Median MME consumption per kilogram body weight on POD 1-3 was 0.09, 0.06 and nil, respectively in patients receiving a selective COX-2 inhibitor and 0.22, 0.25 and 0.07, respectively in the comparative group (P < 0.001), representing at least 59% opioid reduction. Patients prescribing a selective COX-2 inhibitor had a shorter median time to resumption of solid diet [1 (IQR 1-2) d vs 2 (IQR 2-3) d; P < 0.001] and time to first defecation [2 (IQR 2-3) d vs 3 (IQR 3-4) d; P < 0.001]. There was no significant difference in overall postoperative complications between two groups. However, median postoperative stay was significantly 1-d shorter in patients prescribing a selective COX-2 inhibitor [4 (IQR 3-5) d vs 5 (IQR 4-6) d; P < 0.001]. CONCLUSION Perioperative administration of oral selective COX-2 inhibitors significantly decreased intravenous opioid consumption, shortened time to gastrointestinal recovery and reduced hospital stay after open colorectal surgery.

Abstract
To compare immunonutrition versus standard high calorie nutrition in patients undergoing elective colorectal resection within an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program.Despite progress in recent years in the surgical management of patients with colorectal cancer (ERAS programs), postoperative complications are frequent. Nutritional supplements enriched with immunonutrients have recently been introduced into clinical practice. However, the extent to which the combination of ERAS protocols and immunonutrition benefits patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery is unknown.The SONVI study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial with 2 parallel treatment groups receiving either the study product (an immune-enhancing feed) or the control supplement (a hypercaloric hypernitrogenous supplement) for 7 days before colorectal resection and 5 days postoperatively.A total of 264 patients were randomized. At baseline, both groups were comparable in regards to age, sex, surgical risk, comorbidity, and analytical and nutritional parameters. The median length of the postoperative hospital stay was 5 days with no differences between the groups. A decrease in the total number of complications was observed in the immunonutrition group compared with the control group, primarily due to a significant decrease in infectious complications (23.8% vs. 10.7%, P = 0.0007). Of the infectious complications, wound infection differed significantly between the groups (16.4% vs. 5.7%, P = 0.0008). Other infectious complications were lower in the immunonutrition group but were not statistically significantly different.The implementation of ERAS protocols including immunonutrient-enriched supplements reduces the complications of patients undergoing colorectal resection.This study is registered with ClinicalTrial.gov: NCT02393976.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) complications are among the most common complications following radical cystectomy and urinary diversion. The most common is postoperative ileus, although its precise pathophysiology is not completely understood. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols include evidence-based steps to optimize postoperative recovery and shorten hospital stay, mainly through expedited GI function recovery. They include avoiding bowel preparation and postoperative nasogastric tube, early feeding, non-narcotic pain management, and the use of cholinergic and mu-receptor opioid antagonists. We reviewed the literature in regard to GI complications using enhanced recovery protocols and share our institutional experience with over 300 patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy/effectiveness and safety of acupuncture in patients recovering from colorectal cancer resection. METHODS We systematically searched four English language databases (Medline, Embase, CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials), and AMED (Allied and Complementary Medicine Database)) and one Chinese database (CAJ, China Academic Journals). Randomised trials of acupuncture compared with usual/routine care, sham interventions or active comparators in patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection were eligible for inclusion. Postoperative symptoms and quality of life (QoL) were the primary outcomes for the review. RESULTS Of 1225 screened hits, seven randomised trials with 540 participants were included. High or uncertain risk of bias and significant heterogeneity were observed. All outcomes were measured before discharge, and no trial explicitly reported post-discharge outcomes. The response to acupuncture in terms of postoperative symptoms was inconsistent across trials. QoL was not measured in the included studies. For certain outcomes reflecting physiological recovery, favourable effects of acupuncture were observed compared with sham acupuncture, namely time to first flatus (n=207, three studies; mean difference (MD) -7.48 h, 95% CI -14.58 to -0.39 h, I(2)=0%) and time to first defaecation (n=149, two studies; MD -18.04 h, 95% CI -31.90 to -4.19 h, I(2)=0%). Two studies reported there were no acupuncture-related adverse events, whereas the remaining studies did not consider adverse events. CONCLUSIONS We found low-to moderate-quality evidence for the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for recovery after surgery in colorectal cancer patients. Future trials with adequate allocation concealment, blinding of outcome assessors, and measurement of post-discharge outcomes including QoL or functional recovery are warranted. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42014015537.

Abstract
PURPOSE ERAS (enhanced recovery after surgery) programs have proven to reduce morbidity and hospital stay in colorectal surgery. However, the feasibility of these programs in elderly patients has been questioned. The aim of this study is to assess the implementation and outcomes of an ERAS program for colorectal cancer in elderly patients. METHODS This is a multicenter observational study of a cohort of elderly patients undergoing colorectal surgery within an ERAS program. A total of 188 consecutive patients over 70 years who underwent elective colorectal surgery within an ERAS program at three institutions during a 2-year period were included. The compliance with the ERAS protocol interventions was measure. Complications were evaluated according to Clavien-Dindo classification. Data on length of stay and readmission rates were analyzed. RESULTS Early intake and early mobilization were the most successfully carried out interventions. There was a global compliance rate of 56 % of patients for whom compliance was achieved with all measured interventions. The median hospital length of stay was 6 days. Almost 60 % of patients had no complications, 24 % had minor complications while 13 % had major complications; of them, 8 % patients were reoperated. The readmission rate was 6.4 %. CONCLUSIONS ERAS after colorectal surgery in elderly patients presents as safe and feasible based on good reported outcomes of compliance rates, complications, readmissions, and needs for reoperation.

Electroacupuncture for postoperative pain and gastrointestinal motility after laparoscopic appendectomy (AcuLap): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. Trials 2015; 16:461. [PMID: 26466590 PMCID: PMC4606555 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-015-0981-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2015] [Accepted: 09/28/2015] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Acupuncture is a widely serviced complementary medicine. Although acupuncture is suggested for managing postoperative ileus and pain, supporting evidence is weak. The AcuLap trial is designed to provide high-level evidence regarding whether or not electroacupuncture is effective in promoting gastrointestinal motility and controlling pain after laparoscopic surgery. Methods/design This study is a prospective randomized controlled trial with a three-arm, parallel-group structure evaluating the efficacy of electroacupuncture for gastrointestinal motility and postoperative pain after laparoscopic appendectomy. Patients with appendicitis undergoing laparoscopic surgery are included and randomized into three groups: 1) electroacupuncture group, 2) sham acupuncture group, and 3) control group. Patients receive 1) acupuncture with electrostimulation or 2) fake electroacupuncture with sham device twice a day or 3) no acupuncture after laparoscopic appendectomy. The primary outcome is time to first passing flatus after operation. Secondary outcomes include postoperative pain, analgesics, nausea/vomiting, bowel motility, time to tolerable diet, complications, hospital stay, readmission rates, time to recovery, quality of life, medical costs, and protocol failure rate. Patients and hospital staff (physicians and nurses) are blinded to which group the patient is assigned, electroacupuncture or sham acupuncture. Data analysis personnel are blinded to group assignment among all three groups. Estimated sample size to detect a minimum difference of time to first flatus with 80 % power, 5 % significance, and 10 % drop rate is 29 × 3 groups = 87 patients. Analysis will be performed according to the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion The AcuLap trial will provide evidence on the merits and/or demerits of electroacupuncture for bowel motility recovery and pain relief after laparoscopic appendectomy. Trial registration The trial was registered in Clinical Research Information Service (CRiS), Republic of Korea (KCT0001486) on 14 May 2015.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A clinical pathway (CP) can standardize and improve perioperative care for a number of interventions. In hepatic surgery, however, pertinent evidence is very limited. This study was conducted to implement a CP for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing hepatectomy, and to evaluate its effects on hospital costs, length of hospital stay (LOHS) and early clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records for HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy were retrospectively reviewed before implementation of a CP (the non-CP group) from March 2012 to August 2012. This information was compared with the data collected prospectively from patients after implementation of the CP (the CP group) between September 2012 and April 2013. Hospital costs, LOHS and early clinical outcomes were evaluated and compared between groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences in terms of patient clinical characteristics between the two groups. For clinical outcome measures, no significant differences were found in postoperative complications, mortality and readmission rate. The hospital costs were significantly reduced from 24,844 RMB in the non-CP group to 19,761 RMB in the CP group (p<0.01). In addition, patients of the CP group also had shorter LOHS compared with the non-CP group (8.3 versus 12.3 days, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The CP proved to be an effective approach to minimize hospital costs and LOHS with hepatectomy for HCC without compromising patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of preoperative nutritional status on the short-term outcomes of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme for colorectal cancer surgery. METHODS This prospective observational study included 149 patients who underwent elective resection of colorectal cancer with ERAS from January 2011 to January 2014 in a university hospital. Subjective global assessment (SGA) was used to determine preoperative nutritional status. Primary outcomes included the length of postoperative stay, postoperative morbidity, gastrointestinal recovery, and 30-day readmission. RESULTS The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the SGA classification. There were 96 patients (64.4 %) in SGA-A (well-nourished), 48 (32.2 %) in SGA-B (mild to moderately malnourished), and 5 (3.4 %) in SGA-C (severely malnourished). Patients in SGA-A had the median length of postoperative stay of 4 days (range 2-23), which was significantly shorter compared to SGA-B (5 days; range 2-16; p < 0.01) and SGA-C (7 days; range 4-17; p < 0.01). The overall complication rates of SGA-A, SGA-B, and SGA-C patients were 11, 31 % (adjusted OR 3.76; 95 % CI 1.36-10.36; p < 0.01) and 40 % (adjusted OR 2.15; 95 % CI 0.07-63.64; p = 0.66). Mean time to resumption of normal diet and time to first defecation were 1.6 ± 1.3 and 2.2 ± 0.9 days in SGA-A, 2.6 ± 1.7 and 3.1 ± 1.6 days in SGA-B (p < 0.01 compared to SGA-A) and 3.2 ± 2.4 days and 2.6 ± 1.5 days in SGA-C (p = 0.07 and p = 0.1 compared to SGA-A, respectively). No 30-day mortality occurred in any group. One patient in SGA-A (1 %), and 3 patients in SGA-B (6 %) had unplanned 30-day re-admission; p = 0.11. CONCLUSIONS Within an ERAS programme for colorectal cancer surgery, malnourished patients were at risk for increased postoperative morbidity, delayed recovery of gastrointestinal function, and prolonged length of hospital stay.
