Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The concept of textbook outcomes (TOs) has gained increased attention as a critical metric to assess the quality and success of outcomes following complex surgery. A simple yet effective scoring system was developed and validated to predict risk of not achieving textbook outcomes (non-TOs) following hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Using a multicenter prospectively collected database, risk factors associated with non-TO among patients who underwent hepatectomy for HCC were identified. A predictive scoring system based on factors identified from multivariate regression analysis was used to risk stratify patients relative to non-TO. The score was developed using 70 % of the overall cohort and validated in the remaining 30 %. RESULTS Among 3681 patients, 1458 (39.6 %) failied to experience a TO. Based on the derivation cohort, obesity, American Society of Anaesthesiologists score(ASA score), Child-Pugh grade, tumor size, and extent of hepatectomy were identified as independent predictors of non-TO. The scoring system ranged from 0 to 10 points. Patients were categorized into low (0-3 points), intermediate (4-6 points), and high risk (7-10 points) of non-TO. In the validation cohort, the predicted risk of developing non-TOs was 39.0 %, which closely matched the observed risk of 39.9 %. There were no differences among the predicted and observed risks within the different risk categories. CONCLUSIONS A novel scoring system was able to predict risk of non-TO accurately following hepatectomy for HCC. The score may enable early identification of individuals at risk of adverse outcomes and inform surgical decision-making, and quality improvement initiatives.

Surgery 2024; 175:1562-1569. [PMID: 38565495 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2024.02.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Practice fragmentation in surgery may be associated with poor quality of care. We sought to define the association between fragmented practice and outcomes in hepatopancreatic surgery relative to surgeon volume and sex. METHODS Medicare beneficiaries who underwent hepatopancreatic surgery between 2016 and 2021 were identified. Multivariable analysis was performed to determine provider sex-based differences in the rate of fragmented practice relative to the achievement of a textbook outcome and health care expenditures after adjusting for procedure-specific case volume. RESULTS Among 37,416 patients, almost one-half were female (n = 18,333, 49.0%) with the majority treated by male surgeons (n = 33,697, 90.8%). Female surgeons were more likely to have a greater rate of fragmented practice (females: n = 242, 84.9% vs males: n = 1,487, 78.4%, P = .003; odds ratio 2.66, 95% confidence interval 2.33-3.03, P < .001). Patients treated by high rate of fragmented practice surgeons had increased odds of postoperative complications (odds ratio 1.40, 95% confidence interval 1.28-1.54), extended length-of-stay (odds ratio 1.52, 95% confidence interval 1.38-1.68), 90-day-mortality (odds ratio 1.49, 95% confidence interval 1.28-1.72), and lower odds of achieving a textbook outcome (odds ratio 0.76, 95% confidence interval 0.71-0.83). This association persisted independent of surgeon-specific volume (textbook outcome, high vs low rate of fragmented practice: high-volume surgeon, odds ratio 0.53, 95% confidence interval 0.31-0.91, P = .021 vs. low-volume surgeon, odds ratio 0.76, 95% confidence interval 0.69-0.82, P < .001). Among patients treated by male surgeons, a high rate of fragmented practice was associated with reduced odds of achieving a textbook outcome (male surgeons: odds ratio 0.76, 95% confidence interval 0.70-0.82, P < .001; female surgeons: odds ratio 0.81, 95% confidence interval 0.63-1.05, P = .110). Treatment by surgeons with higher fragmented practice was associated with higher expenditures (index expenditure: percentage difference 9.87, 95% confidence interval, 7.42-12.36; P < .05). CONCLUSION A high rate of fragmented practice adversely affected postoperative outcomes and healthcare expenditures even among high-volume surgeons with the impact varying based on surgeon sex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individual outcomes may not accurately reflect the quality of perioperative care. Textbook outcomes (TOs) are composite metrics that provide a comprehensive evaluation of hospital performance and surgical quality. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of TOs in a multi-institutional cohort of patients who underwent breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flaps. METHODS For autologous reconstruction, a TO was previously defined as a procedure without intraoperative complications, reoperation, infection requiring intravenous antibiotics, readmission, mortality, systemic complications, operative duration ≤12 hours for bilateral and ≤10 hours for unilateral/stacked reconstruction, and length of stay (LOS) ≤5 days. We investigated associations between patient-level factors and achieving a TO using multivariable regression analysis. RESULTS Of 1000 patients, most (73.2%) met a TO. The most common reasons for deviation from a TO were reoperation (9.6%), prolonged operative time (9.5%), and prolonged LOS (9.2%). On univariate analysis, tobacco use, obesity, widowed/divorced marital status, and contralateral prophylactic mastectomy or bilateral reconstruction were associated with a lower likelihood of TOs (P < 0.05). After adjustment, bilateral prophylactic mastectomy (odds ratio [OR], 5.71; P = 0.029) and hormonal therapy (OR, 1.53; P = 0.050) were associated with a higher likelihood of TOs; higher body mass index (OR, 0.91; P = <0.001) was associated with a lower likelihood. CONCLUSION Approximately 30% of patients did not achieve a TO, and the likelihood of achieving a TO was influenced by patient and procedural factors. Future studies should investigate how this metric may be used to evaluate patient and hospital-level performance to improve the quality of care in reconstructive surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iatrogenic bile duct injury (BDI) during cholecystectomy is associated with a complex and heterogeneous management owing to the burden of morbidity until their definitive treatment. This study aimed to define the textbook outcomes (TOs) after BDI with the purpose to indicate the ideal treatment and to improve it management. METHODS We collected data from patients with an BDI between 1990 and 2022 from 27 hospitals. TO was defined as a successful conservative treatment of the iatrogenic BDI or only minor complications after BDI or patients in whom the first repair resolves the iatrogenic BDI without complications or with minor complications. RESULTS We included 808 patients and a total of 394 patients (46.9%) achieved TO. Overall complications in TO and non-TO groups were 11.9% and 86%, respectively (P < .001). Major complications and mortality in the non-TO group were 57.4% and 9.2%, respectively. The use of end-to-end bile duct anastomosis repair was higher in the non-TO group (23.1 vs 7.8, P < .001). Factors associated with achieving a TO were injury in a specialized center (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 4.01; 95% CI, 2.68-5.99; P < .001), transfer for a first repair (aOR, 5.72; 95% CI, 3.51-9.34; P < .001), conservative management (aOR, 5.00; 95% CI, 1.63-15.36; P = .005), or surgical management (aOR, 2.45; 95% CI, 1.50-4.00; P < .001). CONCLUSION TO largely depends on where the BDI is managed and the type of injury. It allows hepatobiliary centers to identify domains of improvement of perioperative management of patients with BDI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic resection combined with intraoperative ablation has been described as a technical solution potentially widening the resectability rate of patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Nevertheless, the perioperative and oncological benefit provided by this combined approach remains unclear. We hypothesized that textbook outcome (TO), which is a composite measure achieved for patients for whom some desired health indicators are met, may help to refine the indications of this approach. METHODS Patients submitted to hepatectomy with curative intent in combination with radiofrequency ablation or microwave ablation for CRLM ≤ 3 cm in two tertiary referral centers were included. TO was defined according to a recent definition for liver surgery based on a Delphi process including also the achievement of complete radiological response of the ablated lesion/s at 4 weeks. RESULTS Between 2015 and 2022, 112 patients were enrolled. Among them, 63 (56.2%) achieved a TO. According to multivariate analysis, minimally invasive (MI) approach (OR 2.72, 95% CI 0.99-7.48, p = 0.050), simultaneous CR resection (OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.11-0.70, p = 0.007), tumor burden score (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.82-0.96, p = 0.004), and major hepatectomy (OR 0.12, 95% CI 0.03-0.52, p = 0.004) were significantly associated with the achievement of TO. Median overall survival was longer in those patients who were able to achieve a TO compared to those who did not. CONCLUSIONS The combination of hepatectomy and ablation constitutes a valuable solution in patients affected by multiple CRLM and it may provide, also using a MI approach, adequate perioperative and oncological outcomes, allowing to achieve TO, however, in a selected number of patients and depending on several factors including the burden of disease.

Abstract
Background: To develop a more holistic measure of congenital heart center performance beyond mortality, we created a composite "textbook outcome" (TO) for the Glenn operation. We hypothesized that meeting TO would have a positive prognostic and financial impact. Methods: This was a single center retrospective study of patients undergoing superior cavopulmonary connection (bidirectional Glenn or Kawashima ± concomitant procedures) from 2005 to 2021. Textbook outcome was defined as freedom from operative mortality, reintervention, 30-day readmission, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, major thrombotic complication, length of stay (LOS) >75th percentile (17d), and mechanical ventilation duration >75th percentile (2d). Multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards modeling were used. Results: Fifty-one percent (137/269) of patients met TO. Common reasons for TO failure were prolonged LOS (78/132, 59%) and ventilator duration (67/132, 51%). In multivariable analysis, higher weight [odds ratio, OR: 1.44 (95% confidence interval, CI: 1.15-1.84), P = .002] was a positive predictor of TO achievement while right ventricular dominance [OR 0.47 (0.27-0.81), P = .007] and higher preoperative pulmonary vascular resistance [OR 0.58 (0.40-0.82), P = .003] were negative predictors. After controlling for preoperative factors and excluding operative mortalities, TO achievement was independently associated with a decreased risk of death over long-term follow-up [hazard ratio: 0.50 (0.25-0.99), P = .049]. Textbook outcome achievement was also associated with lower direct cost of care [$137,626 (59,333-167,523) vs $262,299 (114,200-358,844), P < .0001]. Conclusion: Achievement of the Glenn TO is associated with long-term survival and lower costs and can be predicted by certain risk factors. As outcomes continue to improve within congenital heart surgery, operative mortality will become a less informative metric. Textbook outcome analysis may represent a more balanced measure of a successful outcome.

Textbook Neoadjuvant Outcome-Novel Composite Measure of Oncological Outcomes among Gastric Cancer Patients Undergoing Multimodal Treatment. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1721. [PMID: 38730672 PMCID: PMC11083243 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16091721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
The incidence of gastric cancer (GC) is expected to increase to 1.77 million cases by 2040. To improve treatment outcomes, GC patients are increasingly treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) prior to curative-intent resection. Although NAC enhances locoregional control and comprehensive patient care, survival rates remain poor, and further investigations should establish outcomes assessment of current clinical pathways. Individually assessed parameters have served as benchmarks for treatment quality in the past decades. The Outcome4Medicine Consensus Conference underscores the inadequacy of isolated metrics, leading to increased recognition and adoption of composite measures. One of the most simple and comprehensive is the "All or None" method, which refers to an approach where a specific set of criteria must be fulfilled for an individual to achieve the overall measure. This narrative review aims to present the rationale for the implementation of a novel composite measure, Textbook Neoadjuvant Outcome (TNO). TNO integrates five objective and well-established components: Treatment Toxicity, Laboratory Tests, Imaging, Time to Surgery, and Nutrition. It represents a desired, multidisciplinary care and hospitalization of GC patients undergoing NAC to identify the treatment- and patient-related data required to establish high-quality oncological care further. A key strength of this narrative review is the clinical feasibility and research background supporting the implementation of the first and novel composite measure representing the "ideal" and holistic care among patients with locally advanced esophago-gastric junction (EGJ) and GC in the preoperative period after NAC. Further analysis will correlate clinical outcomes with the prognostic factors evaluated within the TNO framework.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the perioperative composite textbook outcomes of pancreatic surgery after minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD). MATERIALS AND METHODS The cohort study was conducted across 10 institutions and included 1552 patients who underwent MIPD registered with the Korean Study Group on Minimally Invasive Pancreatic Surgery between May 2007 and April 2020. We analyzed perioperative textbook outcomes of pancreatic surgery after MIPD. Subgroup analyses were performed to assess outcomes based on the hospital volume of MIPD. RESULTS Among all patients, 21.8% underwent robotic pancreatoduodenectomy. High-volume centers (performing >20 MIPD/year) performed 88.1% of the procedures. The incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula was 11.5%. Severe complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥IIIa) occurred in 15.1% of the cases. The 90-day mortality rate was 0.8%. The mean hospital stay was 13.7 days. Textbook outcomes of pancreatic surgery success were achieved in 60.4% of patients, with higher rates observed in high-volume centers than in low-volume centers (62.2% vs. 44.7%, P<0.001). High-volume centers exhibited significantly lower conversion rates (5.4% vs. 12.5%, P=0.001), lower 90-day mortality (0.5% vs. 2.7%, P=0.001), and lower 90-day readmission rates (4.5% vs. 9.6%, P=0.006) than those low-volume centers. CONCLUSION MIPD could be performed safely with permissible perioperative outcomes, including textbook outcomes of pancreatic surgery, particularly in experienced centers. The findings of this study provided valuable insights for guiding surgical treatment decisions in periampullary disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook oncologic outcome (TOO) is a composite metric shown to correlate with improved survival after curative intent oncologic procedures. Despite increasing use among disciplines in surgical oncology, no consensus exists for its definition in cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). STUDY DESIGN An international consensus-based study employed a Delphi methodology to achieve agreement. Fifty-four senior surgeons from the peritoneal surface malignancies field received a questionnaire comprising TOO parameters divided into 3 surgical domains: operative, short-term, and long-term postoperative outcomes. Two online meetings with participants defined the new criteria. Consensus was achieved when 75% of agreement rate was reached. Clinical data of patients who underwent CRS and HIPEC for colorectal peritoneal metastasis between 2010 and 2022 from 1 designated center (Sheba Medical Center) were collected, the consensus definition applied and outcomes analyzed. RESULTS Thirty-eight surgeons (70%) participated. Expert consensus TOO parameters for colorectal peritoneal metastasis CRS and HIPEC included the absence of unplanned reoperations during 30 days postoperation, absence of severe postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥III), absence of unplanned readmissions during 30 days postoperation, 90-day postoperative mortality, and absence of contraindications for chemotherapy within 12 weeks from operation, and included the achievement of complete cytoreduction (CC0). The study cohort consisted of 251 patients, and 151 (60%) met TOO criteria. Patients who achieved TOO had significantly better overall survival (median 67.5 months, 95% CI) vs patients who did not achieve TOO (median 44.6 months, 95% CI, p < 0.001) and significantly improved disease-free survival (median, 12 months, 95% CI, vs 9 months, 95% CI, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Achievement of TOO as defined by consensus statement is associated with improved survival.

Abstract
Importance Insurance coverage expansion has been proposed as a solution to improving health disparities, but insurance expansion alone may be insufficient to alleviate care access barriers. Objective To assess the association of Area Deprivation Index (ADI) with postsurgical textbook outcomes (TO) and presentation acuity for individuals with private insurance or Medicare. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study used data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2013-2019) merged with electronic health record data from 3 academic health care systems. Data were analyzed from June 2022 to August 2023. Exposure Living in a neighborhood with an ADI greater than 85. Main Outcomes and Measures TO, defined as absence of unplanned reoperations, Clavien-Dindo grade 4 complications, mortality, emergency department visits/observation stays, and readmissions, and presentation acuity, defined as having preoperative acute serious conditions (PASC) and urgent or emergent cases. Results Among a cohort of 29 924 patients, the mean (SD) age was 60.6 (15.6) years; 16 424 (54.9%) were female, and 13 500 (45.1) were male. A total of 14 306 patients had private insurance and 15 618 had Medicare. Patients in highly deprived neighborhoods (5536 patients [18.5%]), with an ADI greater than 85, had lower/worse odds of TO in both the private insurance group (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.87; 95% CI, 0.76-0.99; P = .04) and Medicare group (aOR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.82-1.00; P = .04) and higher odds of PASC and urgent or emergent cases. The association of ADIs greater than 85 with TO lost significance after adjusting for PASC and urgent/emergent cases. Differences in the probability of TO between the lowest-risk (ADI ≤85, no PASC, and elective surgery) and highest-risk (ADI >85, PASC, and urgent/emergent surgery) scenarios stratified by frailty were highest for very frail patients (Risk Analysis Index ≥40) with differences of 40.2% and 43.1% for those with private insurance and Medicare, respectively. Conclusions and Relevance This study found that patients living in highly deprived neighborhoods had lower/worse odds of TO and higher presentation acuity despite having private insurance or Medicare. These findings suggest that insurance coverage expansion alone is insufficient to overcome health care disparities, possibly due to persistent barriers to preventive care and other complex causes of health inequities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The definition of textbook outcome in biliary system cancers is a developing concept in need of expansion and investigation of its association with survival and quality of life. METHODS In this original research, we developed a novel "all or none" textbook outcome definition which addresses the rapid recovery of post-surgical indexes, in addition to short-term mortality, hospital re-admission, prolonged stay, surgical margin and postoperative complications. Based on the fulfillment of relevant criteria, patients were divided into textbook outcome and non-textbook outcome groups and their characteristics and survival data were analyzed. A customized "quality of life" questionnaire was developed to address short-term recovery and post-discharge life quality of patients. Association with quality of life improvement was then investigated. RESULTS A total of 129 patients were included. Textbook outcome was achieved in 25.58% of patients (37.04% of gallbladder cancer patients and 17.8% of cholangiocarcinoma patients). Compared to non-textbook outcome group, patients with textbook outcome had lower rate of pre-operative biliary drainage (p = 0.026), higher rate of normal preoperative liver function (p < 0.001) and tumor markers (p = 0.001), reduced perioperative bleeding (p = 0.006) and blood transfusion (p = 0.005), and higher rate of N0 stage cases (p = 0.008). Textbook outcome was also associated with enhanced survival, significantly in older patients (<65 years) (1-year survival rate: 100% vs. 78.57% (p = 0.108), 2-year survival rate: 87.5% vs. 44% (p = 0.046)). Finally, textbook outcome was significantly associated with enhanced basic daily performance (p < 0.001), social life performance (p = 0.033), and personal evaluation (p < 0.001), and thus improved quality of life (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The novel definition of textbook outcome was able to address the specific nature of recovery after resection of biliary system cancers. Expanding the scope of textbook outcome and addressing the influence on survival and quality of life provides a comprehensive concept able to reflect physical, psychological and functioning enhancements in patients recovery.

Abstract
Hepatobiliary cancer (HBC) includes hepatocellular carcinoma and biliary tract carcinoma (cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma), and its morbidity and mortality are significantly correlated with disease stage. Surgery is the cornerstone of curative therapy for early stage of HBC. However, a large proportion of patients with HBC are diagnosed with advanced stage and can only receive systemic treatment. According to the results of clinical trials, the first-line and second-line treatment programs are constantly updated with the improvement of therapeutic effectiveness. In order to improve the therapeutic effect, reduce the occurrence of drug resistance, and reduce the adverse reactions of patients, the treatment of HBC has gradually developed from single-agent therapy to combination. The traditional therapeutic philosophy proposed that patients with advanced HBC are only amenable to systematic therapies. With some encouraging clinical trial results, the treatment concept has been revolutionized, and patients with advanced HBC who receive novel systemic combination therapies with multi-modality treatment (including surgery, transplant, TACE, HAIC, RT) have significantly improved survival time. This review summarizes the treatment options and the latest clinical advances of HBC in each stage and discusses future direction, in order to inform the development of more effective treatments for HBC.

Tumor burden score and carcinoembryonic antigen predict outcomes in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma following liver resection: a multi‑institutional analysis. BMC Cancer 2024; 24:358. [PMID: 38509498 PMCID: PMC10953220 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-024-12091-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic significance of tumor burden score (TBS) in relation to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has not been investigated among patients undergoing hepatectomy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). This study aimed to develop and validate a simplified model, a combination of TBS and CEA (CTC grade), for predicting the long-term outcomes of postoperative ICC patients. METHODS Patients who underwent curative - intent resection of ICC between 2011 and 2019 were identified from a large multi - institutional database. The impact of TBS, CEA, and the CTC grade on overall survival (OS) and recurrence - free survival (RFS) was evaluated in both the derivation and validation cohorts. The receiver operating characteristic curve was utilized for assessing the predictive accuracy of the model. Subgroup analyses were performed across 8th TNM stage system stratified by CTC grade to assess the discriminatory capacity within the same TNM stage. RESULTS A total of 812 patients were included in the derivation cohort and 266 patients in the validation cohort. Survival varied based on CEA (low: 36.7% vs. high: 9.0%) and TBS (low: 40.3% vs. high: 17.6%) in relation to 5 - year survival (both p < 0.001). As expected, patients with low CTC grade (i.e., low TBS/low CEA) were associated with the best OS as well as RFS, while high CTC grade (i.e., high TBS/high CEA) correlated to the worst outcomes. The model exhibited well performance in both the derivation cohort (area under the curve of 0.694) and the validation cohort (0.664). The predictive efficacy of the CTC grade system remains consistently stable across TNM stages I and III/IV. CONCLUSION The CTC grade, a composite parameter derived from the combination of TBS and CEA levels, served as an easy - to - use tool and performed well in stratifying patients with ICC relative to OS and RFS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook outcome (TO) in gastric cancer surgery is a multidimensional measure of surgical quality. However, its impact on long-term survival after laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) is unclear. This study aims to evaluate TO in LG, assess its hospital-level relevance, and examine its association with long-term survival. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 2278 consecutive gastric cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) from January 2004 to December 2017. We determined TO achievement rates, compared preoperative and intraoperative variables between TO and non-TO groups, identified independent predictors of TO, and assessed long-term oncologic outcomes using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression. RESULTS A total of 1540 LG patients were analyzed, with 994 (64.5%) achieving TO. The least frequently achieved metric was 'hospital stays ≤21 days' (83.4%), followed by 'lymph nodes retrieved ≥15' (84.0%). Factors independently associated with reduced TO likelihood included age ≥65 years, BMI ≥25, ASA III, conversion to open surgery, operation time ≥260 min, and estimated blood loss ≥150 ml. Furthermore, TO was independently linked to improved 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR 0.519 [0.443-0.609] and HR 0.517 [0.443-0.604], respectively). CONCLUSION Implementing the TO concept in LG provides a benchmark for achieving improved prognoses and empowers surgeons to devise strategies for enhancing surgical care quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook outcome (TO) represents a multidimensional quality measurement, encompassing the desirable short-term outcomes following surgery. This study aimed to investigate whether achieving TO after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) surgery is related to better overall survival (OS) in a national cohort. METHOD Data was retrieved from the Dutch Hepato Biliary Audit. A modified definition of TO (mTO) was used because readmissions were only recorded from 2019. mTO was achieved when no severe postoperative complications, mortality, prolonged length of hospital stay, occurred and when adequate surgical resection margins were obtained. To compare outcomes of patients with and without mTO and reduce baseline differences between both groups propensity score matching (PSM) was used for patients operated on between 2014 and 2018. RESULTS Out of 6525 eligible patients, 81 % achieved mTO. For the cohort between 2014 and 2018, those achieving mTO had a 5-year OS of 46.7 % (CI 44.8-48.6) while non-mTO patients had a 5-year OS of 33.7 % (CI 29.8-38.2), p < 0.001. Not achieving mTO was associated with a worse OS (aHR 1.34 (95 % CI 1.17-1.53), p < 0.001. Median follow-up was 76 months., PSM assigned 519 patients to each group. In the PSM cohort patients achieving mTO, 5-year OS was 43.6 % (95 % CI 39.2-48.5) compared to 36.4 % (95 % CI 31.9-41.2) in patients who did not achieve mTO, p = 0.006. CONCLUSION Achieving mTO is associated with improved long-term survival. This emphasizes the importance of optimising perioperative care and reducing postoperative complications in surgical treatment of CRLM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assessing heart transplant program quality using short-term survival is insufficient. We define and validate the composite metric textbook outcome and examine its association with overall survival. METHODS We identified all primary, isolated adult heart transplants in the United Network for Organ Sharing/Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Standard Transplant Analysis and Research files from May 1, 2005, to December 31, 2017. Textbook outcome was defined as length of stay 30 days or less; ejection fraction greater than 50% during 1-year follow-up; functional status 80% to 100% at 1 year; freedom from acute rejection, dialysis, and stroke during the index hospitalization; and freedom from graft failure, dialysis, rejection, retransplantation, and mortality during the first year post-transplant. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Factors independently associated with textbook outcome were used to create a predictive nomogram. Conditional survival at 1 year was measured. RESULTS A total of 24,620 patients were identified with 11,169 (45.4%, 95% confidence interval, 44.7-46.0) experiencing textbook outcome. Patients with textbook outcome were more likely free from preoperative mechanical support (odds ratio, 3.504, 95% confidence interval, 2.766 to 4.439, P < .001), free from preoperative dialysis (odds ratio, 2.295, 95% confidence interval, 1.868-2.819, P < .001), to be not hospitalized (odds ratio, 1.264, 95% confidence interval, 1.183-1.349, P < .001), to be nondiabetic (odds ratio, 1.187, 95% confidence interval, 1.113-1.266, P < .001), and to be nonsmokers (odds ratio, 1.160, 95% confidence interval,1.097-1.228, P < .001). Patients with textbook outcome have improved long-term survival relative to patients without textbook outcome who survive at least 1 year (hazard ratio for death, 0.547, 95% confidence interval, 0.504-0.593, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Textbook outcome is an alternative means of examining heart transplant outcomes and is associated with long-term survival. The use of textbook outcome as an adjunctive metric provides a holistic view of patient and center outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook outcome is a valuable tool for assessing surgical outcomes. The aim of this study was to analyse textbook-outcome rates in the prospective Spanish National Registry of the Liver-First Approach (RENACI Project) and the factors influencing textbook-outcome achievement. Additionally, a model for assessing a procedure-specific textbook outcome for the liver-first approach was proposed. METHODS A retrospective analysis of a prospective and multicentre database that included consecutive patients with colorectal cancers and synchronous liver metastases who underwent a liver-first approach between June 2019 and August 2020 was performed. Two types of textbook outcome were measured: classic textbook outcome and liver-first-approach-specific textbook outcome (which included negative margins, no perioperative transfusion, no postoperative major surgical complications, no prolonged length of hospital stay, no readmissions, no mortality, and full treatment completion). The primary endpoint was textbook-outcome rate for a liver-first approach at 90 days. RESULTS A total of 149 patients were included in the analysis. Classic and liver-first-approach-specific textbook-outcome rates were 71.8 per cent (107 patients) and 46 per cent (69 patients) respectively. Factors significantly associated with liver-first-approach-specific textbook-outcome achievement in the multivariable analysis were the number of metastases (OR 0.82 (95 per cent c.i. 0.73 to 0.92); P = 0.001) and intraoperative blood loss (OR 0.99 (95 per cent c.i. 0.99 to 1.00); P = 0.007). Prolonged length of hospital stay (33 patients, 41 per cent), positive margins (31 patients, 39 per cent), perioperative transfusion (27 patients, 34 per cent), and no full treatment completion (18 patients, 23 per cent) were the items that most frequently prevented liver-first-approach-specific textbook-outcome achievement. CONCLUSION Liver-first-approach-specific textbook outcome is a promising tool for measuring the quality of care when using the liver-first approach for synchronous colorectal liver metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Definition of textbook outcome (TO), defined as a single indicator combining the most advantageous short-term outcomes, is still lacking for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC). The primary endpoint of the present study is to analyze the rate of achievement of a disease-specific TO for PHC within a high volume tertiary referral centre. Secondary endpoints are to identify predictive factors of TO-achievement and to analyze the impact of achieving TO on long-term results. METHODS Between 2010 and 2022, a total of 237 patients undergoing combined liver and biliary resection for PHC at tertiary referral centre were included. Disease-specific TO were defined as: no 90-day mortality, no postoperative complications, no readmission, no intraoperative transfusions and resection margins. A logistic regression model was developed to identify predictors associated with TO-achievement. Kaplan-Meier curves were designed to determine TO's impact on survival. RESULTS TO was achieved in 60 (25.3%) patients. At multivariate logistic regression, preoperative biliary drainage [odds ratio (OR) 2.90 (1.13-3.40), P =0.026], high prognostic nutritional index [OR 7.11 (6.71-9.43), P =0.007[ and minimally invasive approach [OR 3.57 (2.31-3.62), P =0.013] were identified as independent predictors of TO. High ASA score [OR 0.38 (0.17-0.82), P =0.013] decreased the odds of TO. A significant improvement in both overall survival and disease-free survival was associated to TO fulfilment. CONCLUSION Since the achievement of TO correlates with better disease-free and overall survival, every effort should be made to ameliorate modifiable aspects prior to surery: management within referral centres with dedicated experience in biliary tract cancer and preoperative optimization protocol may positively contribute to improve postoperative outcomes, increasing the chance to obtain TO. Moreover, the implementation of advanced minimally invasive programs plays as well.

Abstract
Background Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) poses a significant clinical challenge, demanding a thorough understanding of prognostic indicators for effective patient management. Despite reports suggesting the impact of perineural invasion (PNI) on the prognosis of early-stage ICC patients, there has been a dearth of comprehensive research specifically targeting this subgroup. This study seeks to investigate the influence of PNI on survival outcomes in early-stage ICC patients and aims to enhance the prognostic value of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) T category. Methods A cohort of 268 early-stage (T1-T2N0M0) ICC patients, who underwent curative-intent resection (R0) between 2011 and 2015 at the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital, were enrolled in this study. Lasso and Cox regression analyses were employed to explore differences in clinical and prognostic data. Kaplan-Meier curves were generated to illustrate the clinical significance of the combination of PNI and T category. Results Among the 268 patients, 24.6% exhibited PNI. Patients with PNI demonstrated shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS) [median RFS: 16 months (interquartile range, 9.5-19 months)] and overall survival (OS) [median OS: 16.53 months (interquartile range, 10-25 months)]. PNI emerged as an independent risk factor for both RFS and OS in T1- and T2-stage patients (all P<0.05), whereas tumor size was only an independent risk factor for OS (P=0.004). PNI was associated with all prognostic markers for ICC patients, including gender, jaundice, cholangitis, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, cancer antigen 199 (CA199), preoperative serum albumin, and preoperative platelet count (all P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in RFS (P=0.270) and OS (P=0.360) between T2 patients without PNI and T1 patients with PNI. Conclusions This study underscores PNI as a robust prognostic factor in early-stage ICC, emphasizing the necessity of incorporating PNI into the AJCC T category for precise risk stratification. Clinically, understanding the impact of PNI on survival outcomes can guide tailored treatment strategies for early ICC patients.

BACKGROUND Textbook outcome (TO) is a composite measure reflecting various aspects of services provided to patients with solid malignancies. We sought to evaluate the importance of various TO components previously proposed for gastric cancer. METHODS Prospectively maintained electronic databases of 1,743 patients treated in two academic surgical centres were reviewed. Six candidate definitions of TO were evaluated based on their ability to accurately predict patients' prognosis by Cox proportional hazards modelling. RESULTS TO definition combining 10 measures corresponding to complete tumour resection with an uneventful postoperative course showed the best goodness of fit by achieving the lowest values of Akaike (AIC) and Bayesian (BIC) information criteria and the best predictive performance based on the highest value of c-index. The overall median survival was significantly longer for patients with than without textbook outcome (69.0 vs 20.1 months, P < 0.001). TO maintained its prognostic value in a multivariate model controlling for age, sex, comorbidities, treatment, and tumour related variables and was associated with a 39% lower risk of death (HR 0.61, 95%CI 0.51 - 0.73, P < 0.001). Nine variables identified as predictors of TO were used to develop a nomogram showing very good correlation between the predicted and actual probability of achieving TO. The AUC of ROC obtained from the nomogram was 0.752 (95% CI 0.727 to 0.781). CONCLUSIONS A uniform definition of textbook outcome provides clinically relevant prognostic information and could be used in quality improvement programs for gastric cancer patients.

Association of Minority-Serving Hospital Status with Post-Discharge Care Utilization and Expenditures in Gastrointestinal Cancer. Ann Surg Oncol 2023; 30:7217-7225.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disparities in utilization of post-discharge care and overall expenditures may relate to site of care and race/ethnicity. We sought to define the impact of minority-serving hospitals (MSHs) on postoperative outcomes, discharge disposition, and overall expenditures associated with an episode of surgical care. METHODS Patients who underwent resection for esophageal, colon, rectal, pancreatic, and liver cancer were identified from Medicare Standard Analytic Files (2013-2017). A MSH was defined as the top decile of facilities treating minority patients (Black and/or Hispanic). The impact of MSH on outcomes of interest was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression and generalized linear regression models. Textbook outcome (TO) was defined as no postoperative complications, no prolonged length of stay, and no 90-day mortality or readmission. RESULTS Among 113,263 patients, only a small subset of patients underwent surgery at MSHs (n = 4404, 3.9%). While 52.3% of patients achieved TO, rates were lower at MSHs (MSH: 47.2% vs. non-MSH: 52.5%; p < 0.001). On multivariable analysis, receiving care at an MSH was associated with not achieving TO (odds ratio [OR] 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.76-0.87) and concomitantly higher odds of additional post-discharge care (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.01-1.20). Patients treated at an MSH also had higher median post-discharge expenditures (MSH: $8400, interquartile range [IQR] $2300-$22,100 vs. non-MSH: $7000, IQR $2200-$17,900; p = 0.002). In fact, MSHs remained associated with a 11.05% (9.78-12.33%) increase in index expenditures and a 16.68% (11.44-22.17%) increase in post-discharge expenditures. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing surgery at a MSH were less likely to achieve a TO. Additionally, MSH status was associated with a higher likelihood of requiring post-discharge care and higher expenditures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Outcomes of major surgeries in tertiary educational hospitals have been complicated by the referral of high-risk patients and the participation of trainees in surgical procedures. We analyzed outcomes of major hepatectomies in a tertiary academic setting emphasizing the role of training and obesity on textbook outcomes (TO). MATERIALS AND METHODS 971 adult patients who underwent open major hepatectomy (Mesohepatectomy [n = 111], hemihepatectomy [n = 610], and extended hepatectomy [n = 250]) were evaluated. A TO was defined as: a negative resection margin, no grade B/C bile leak, no major complications, no in-hospital mortality, and no 30-day readmission. TOs were compared following operations performed by senior surgeons and those performed by junior surgeons under the supervision of senior surgeons and between patients with and without obesity. RESULTS TO was achieved in 70.1% of patients overall (78.4% in mesohepatectomy, 73.1% in hemihepatectomy, and 59.2% in extended hepatectomy). The rate of TO was similar following operations performed by and supervised by a senior surgeon (69.3% vs 71.0%, p = 0.570). The rate of TO was significantly lower in patients with obesity (41.5% vs 74.6%, p < 0.001). Factors including increased age (odds ratio [OR] for 10-year increase = 0.83, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.73-0.96, p = 0.009), obesity (OR = 0.25, 95%CI: 0.16-0.37, p < 0.001), biliodigestive anastomosis (OR = 0.27, 95%CI: 0.19-0.40, p < 0.001), and portal vein resection (OR = 0.49, 95%CI: 0.28-0.87, p = 0.014) lower the rate of TO. CONCLUSION Promising outcomes are possible after major hepatectomy in an academic setting. Obese patients and those undergoing more complex surgeries had a higher risk of poor postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most data on the treatment and outcomes of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) derives from expert centers. This study aimed to investigate the treatment and outcomes of all patients diagnosed with iCCA in a nationwide cohort. METHODS Data on all patients diagnosed with iCCA between 2010 and 2018 were obtained from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. RESULTS In total, 1747 patients diagnosed with iCCA were included. Resection was performed in 292 patients (17%), 548 patients (31%) underwent palliative systemic treatment, and 867 patients (50%) best supportive care (BSC). The OS median and 1-, and 3-year OS were after resection: 37.5 months (31.0-44.0), 79.2%, and 51.6%,; with systemic therapy, 10.0 months (9.2-10.8), 38.4%, and 5.1%, and with BSC 2.2 months (2.0-2.5), 10.4%, and 1.3% respectively. The resection rate for patients who first presented in academic centers was 33% (96/292) compared to 13% (195/1454) in non-academic centers (P < 0.001). DISCUSSION Half of almost 1750 patients with iCCA over an 8 year period did not receive any treatment with a 1-year OS of 10.4%. Three-year survival was about 50% after resection, while long-term survival was rare after palliative treatment. The resection rate was higher in academic centers compared to non-academic centers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) continues to rise, and hepatectomy is the only cure. Perioperative outcomes following hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are better described than for ICC. The aim was to compare post-hepatectomy outcomes for ICC to CRLM and HCC. METHODS The 2014-2020 ACS NSQIP hepatectomy PUF was utilized. Patients with ICC, CRLM, and HCC were identified and others excluded. Demographic, disease, and procedural characteristics were collected. Univariable and multivariable analyses (Chi-Square for categorical variables; Kruskal-Wallis for continuous variables) were performed for mortality, serious morbidity, bile leak, post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), and 30-day readmission. RESULTS 17,789 patients underwent hepatectomy including 2377 for ICC, 10,195 for CRLM, and 5217 for HCC. Patients undergoing hepatectomy for ICC vs. HCC vs. CRLM were noted to have higher 30-day mortality (4.8% vs. 2.5% vs. 1.0%, respectively p < 0.05). ICC was associated with higher overall and serious morbidity, bile leak, severe PHLF, and readmission. Multivariable analyses confirmed higher odds ratios for mortality and morbidity (p < 0.05) in patients with ICC. CONCLUSION Hepatectomy for ICC is associated with worse short-term outcomes than for CRLM or HCC. Surgeons should be aware of these risks during surgical planning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook outcomes (TOs) have been used to assess the quality of surgical treatment for many digestive tumours but not ampullary carcinoma (AC). AIM To discuss the factors associated with achieving a TO and further explore the prognostic value of a TO for AC patients undergoing curative pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS Patients who underwent PD at the China National Cancer Center between 1998 and 2020 were identified. A TO was defined by R0 resection, examination of ≥ 12 Lymph nodes, no prolonged hospitalization, no intensive care unit treatment, no postoperative complications, and no 30-day readmission or mortality. Cox regression analysis was used to identify the prognostic value of a TO for overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of a TO. The rate of a TO and of each indicator were compared in patients who underwent surgery before and after 2010. RESULTS Ultimately, only 24.3% of 272 AC patients achieved a TO. A TO was independently associated with improved OS [hazard ratio (HR): 0.443, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 0.276-0.711, P = 0.001] and RFS (HR: 0.379, 95%CI: 0.228-0.629, P < 0.001) in the Cox regression analysis. Factors independently associated with a TO included a year of surgery between 2010 and 2020 (OR: 4.549, 95%CI: 2.064-10.028, P < 0.001) and N1 stage disease (OR: 2.251, 95%CI: 1.023-4.954, P = 0.044). In addition, the TO rate was significantly higher in patients who underwent surgery after 2010 (P < 0.001) than in those who underwent surgery before 2010. CONCLUSION Only approximately a quarter (24.3%) of AC patients achieved a TO following PD. A TO was independently related to favourable oncological outcomes in AC and should be considered as an outcome measure for the quality of surgery. Further multicentre research is warranted to better elucidate its impact.

Abstract
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary liver tumor after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Management depends on their resectability at the time of diagnosis. Two types can be distinguished by imaging: resectable ICCs amenable to surgery and locally advanced and/or metastatic ICCs, that are treated by chemotherapy, radiotherapy or loco-regional treatment (radioembolization, chemoembolization, intra-arterial chemotherapy and thermoablation). Over the last decade, the management strategy for these tumors has been modified by the appearance of loco-regional treatments as well as the introduction of immunotherapy that have shown their efficacy in the control of ICC. The aim of this review is to describe the current status of treatments for ICCs, as well as the different therapeutic strategies being assessed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Right hepatectomy (RH) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is ideally preceded by transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and portal vein embolization (PVE). Laparoscopic approach improves short-term outcome and textbook outcome (TO), which reflects the "ideal" surgical outcome, after RH. However, laparoscopic RH on an underlying diseased liver and after TACE/PVE remains a challenging procedure. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes in patients who underwent laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) or open liver resection (OLR) following TACE/PVE. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients with HCC who underwent RH after TACE/PVE in five French centers were retrospectively included. Outcomes were compared between the LLR group and the OLR group using propensity score matching (PSM). Quality of surgical care was defined by TO. RESULTS Between 2005 and 2019, 117 patients were included (41 in LLR group, 76 in OLR group). Overall morbidity was comparable (51% versus 53%, p = 0.24). In LLR group, TO was completed in 66% versus 37% in OLR group (p = 0.02). LLR and absence of clamping were the only factors associated with TO completion [hazard ratio (HR) 4.27, [1.77-10.28], p = 0.001]. After PSM, 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 55% in matched LLR versus 77% in matched OLR, p = 0.35, and 13% in matched LLR versus 17% in matched OLR, p = 0.97. TO completion was independently associated with a better 5-year OS (65.2% versus 42.5%, p = 0.007). CONCLUSION Major LLR after TACE/PVE should be considered as a valuable option in expert centers to increase the chance of TO, the latter being associated with a better 5-year OS.

[PMID: 37735865 DOI: 10.1002/jhbp.1351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook outcome (TO) is a valuable metric to assess postoperative outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess TO in patients undergoing hepatopancreatic surgery. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort NSQIP study from 2015 to 2018. TOs are defined as no complication or mortality and length of stay within the 75th percentile. RESULTS This study included 44 235 patients. Of those patients, 61% underwent pancreatic surgery (PS) and 39% hepatic surgery (HS). The most common surgical procedure was pancreaticoduodenectomy (16 464), followed by partial hepatectomy (11 817), distal pancreatectomy (8292), hemihepatectomy (4247), hepatic trisegmentectomy (1366) and total pancreatectomy (706). TO was more common for HS than PS, 47% versus 40%, p < .001. TO was more common for younger (0-65, OR: 1.60; CI: 1.30-1.96, p < .001), female (OR: 1.23; CI: 1.17-1.29, p < .001), white (OR: 1.10; CI: 1.01-1.19, p = .022), and lower ASA class (OR: 2.11; CI: 1.54-2.90, p < .001) patients. For patients undergoing HS TO was more common after partial lobectomy than trisegmentectomy and lobectomy (OR: 1.36; CI: 1.18-1.57, p < .001). For those undergoing PS, there was a lower likelihood of TO for those who are obese/morbidly obese compared to normal-weight patients (OR: 0.73; CI: 0.67-0.79, p < .001). Unlike HS, TO for patients undergoing PS was not associated with the type of surgical procedure. CONCLUSIONS TO is a composite that can be applied to a national data set to analyze outcome quality. In HS, more complex surgical procedures are associated with a decreased likelihood of TO. In PS, TO are similar regardless of the procedure but less common in obese or morbidly obese patients.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) can regulate tumorigenesis and progression of various cancers. However, there is little known about the tumor biology and regulatory mechanism of MALAT1 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value and potential functions of MALAT1 in ccRCC based on the cancer genome atlas. Through bioinformatics research, we analyzed the expression of MALAT1 in ccRCC, and the relationship with clinicopathological features, overall survival and infiltration of immune cells, and established the prognostic models. The results showed that MALAT1 was highly expressed in ccRCC tissues and predicted poor ccRCC patient outcome. The expression level of MALAT1 was significantly correlated with histologic grade, pathologic grade, T stage, M stage. ROC curve showed that MALAT1 had a good diagnostic accuracy, area under the curve of 0.752. The univariate and multivariate cox regression analysis showed that high MALAT1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in the cancer genome atlas (hazard ratio = 2.271, 95% confidence interval: 1.435-3.593, P < .001). Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that MALAT1 expression was associated with the DNA methylation, epigenetic regulation of gene expression signaling pathway. In addition, the prognostic models were established to predict 1-, 3- and 5-year survival. This study showed that high expression of MALAT1 might be a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.

Analgesic efficacy of an opioid-free postoperative pain management strategy versus a conventional opioid-based strategy following open major hepatectomy: an open-label, randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial. EClinicalMedicine 2023; 63:102188. [PMID: 37692074 PMCID: PMC10485032 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2023.102188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Convincing clinical evidence regarding completely opioid-free postoperative pain management using erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in patients undergoing open major hepatectomy (OMH) is lacking. Herein, we aimed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the visualised continuous opioid-free ESPB (VC-ESPB) and conventional intravenous opioid-based postoperative pain management in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing OMH. Methods This open-label, randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial enrolled patients with HCC undergone open major hepatectomy in Fujian Provincial Hospital and compared the postoperative analgesic efficacy of VC-ESPB (VC-ESPB group) and conventional intravenous opioid-based pain management regimen (conventional group). Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to VC-ESPB group and conventional group. Patients were not masked to treatment allocation. The VC-ESPB group was treated with intermittent injections of 0.25% ropivacaine (bilateral, 30 mL each side) given every 12 h through catheters placed in the space of erector spinae and an opioid-free intravenous pump (10-mg tropisetron diluted to 100 mL with 0.9% normal saline [NS]) for postoperative pain management. The conventional group did not receive ESPB and was treated with a conventional intravenous opioid-based pump (2.5-μg/kg sufentanil and 10-mg tropisetron diluted to 100 mL with 0.9% NS). Patients in the VC-ESPB group underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify local anaesthetic diffusion after ESPB was performed under ultrasound guidance. The primary outcome was postoperative analgesic efficacy, which was indicated by the cumulative area under the curve (AUC) of the pain visual analogue scale scores (range, 0-10; a higher score indicates more pain) obtained at rest and at movement until 48 h postoperatively after leaving the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU). Herein, an AUC of 26.5 was set as the noninferiority margin, which needed to be satisfied for both cumulative AUCPACU-48 h at rest and cumulative AUCPACU-48 h at movement. Per protocol participants were included in primary and safety analyses. This trial was registered with ChiCTR.org.cn (ChiCTR1900026583). Findings Between October 30, 2019, and May 1, 2023, 106 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to the VC-ESPB group (n = 53) and the conventional group (n = 53). After the dropout (n = 5), a total of 101 patients (VC-ESPB group, n = 50; conventional group, n = 51) were analysed. Both the level of cumulative AUCPACU-48 h (at rest: 160.08 ± 38.00 vs. 164.94 ± 31.00; difference [90% CI], -4.861 [-16.308, 6.585]) and cumulative AUCPACU-48 h (at movement: 209.64 ± 28.98 vs. 212.59 ± 33.11; difference [90% CI], -2.948 [-13.236, 7.339]) were similar between the VC-ESPB and control groups within the first postoperative 48 h. The upper limit of the 90% CIs for the difference in cumulative ACUPACU-48 h at rest and at movement did not reach the upper inferiority margin (26.5). During the first postoperative 48 h, the rate of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug rescue analgesia was similar between the VC-ESPB group and conventional group (n = 16, 32.0% vs. n = 11, 21.6%; P = 0.236). Treatment-related death was not observed in the VC-ESPB group (n = 0, 0%) and conventional group (n = 0, 0%). In VC-ESPB group, local site paralysis (n = 1, 2.0%) was observed in one patient and rash (n = 1, 2.0%) was observed in another patient. One patient in the conventional group was observed with rash preoperatively (n = 1, 2.0%). The VC-ESPB group had significantly lower rates of postoperative nausea (n = 2, 4.0%, vs. n = 9, 17.6%, P = 0.028), vomiting (n = 1, 2.0% vs. n = 8, 15.7%, P = 0.031) and lower incidence of major complications (n = 4, 8.0% vs. n = 6, 11.8%; P = 0.033). Interpretation This study demonstrates the noninferiority of VC-ESPB when compared with the conventional opioid-based approach for postoperative pain management after OMH, suggesting that it is feasible to achieve opioid-free postoperative pain management for OMH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND : High quality colonoscopy is fundamental to good patient outcomes. "Textbook outcome" has proven to be a feasible multidimensional measure for quality assurance between surgical centers. In this study, we sought to establish the "textbook process" (TP) as a new composite measure for the optimal colonoscopy process and assessed how frequently TP was attained in clinical practice and the variation in TP between endoscopists. METHODS : To reach consensus on the definition of TP, international expert endoscopists completed a modified Delphi consensus process. The achievement of TP was then applied to clinical practice. Prospectively collected data in two endoscopy services were retrospectively evaluated. Data on colonoscopies performed for symptoms or surveillance between 1 January 2018 and 1 August 2021 were analyzed. RESULTS : The Delphi consensus process was completed by 20 of 27 invited experts (74.1 %). TP was defined as a colonoscopy fulfilling the following items: explicit colonoscopy indication; successful cecal intubation; adequate bowel preparation; adequate withdrawal time; acceptable patient comfort score; provision of post-polypectomy surveillance recommendations in line with guidelines; and the absence of the use of reversal agents, early adverse events, readmission, and mortality. In the two endoscopy services studied, TP was achieved in 5962/8227 colonoscopies (72.5 %). Of 48 endoscopists performing colonoscopy, attainment of TP varied significantly, ranging per endoscopist from 41.0 % to 89.1 %. CONCLUSION : This study proposes a new composite measure for colonoscopy, namely "textbook process." TP gives a comprehensive summary of performance and demonstrates significant variation between endoscopists, illustrating the potential benefit of TP as a measure in future quality assessment programs.

Textbook outcome for the Norwood operation-an informative quality metric in congenital heart surgery. JTCVS OPEN 2023; 15:394-405.

Abstract
Objectives To develop a more holistic measure of center performance than operative mortality, we created a composite "textbook outcome" for the Norwood operation using several postoperative end points. We hypothesized that achieving the textbook outcome would have a positive prognostic and financial impact. Methods This was a single-center retrospective study of primary Norwood operations from 2005 to 2021. Through interdisciplinary clinician consensus, textbook outcome was defined as freedom from operative mortality, open or catheter-based reintervention, 30-day readmission, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, cardiac arrest, reintubation, length of stay >75%ile from Society of Thoracic Surgeons data report (66 days), and mechanical ventilation duration >75%ile (10 days). Multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards modeling were used to determine predictive factors for textbook outcome achievement and association of the outcome with long-term survival, respectively. Results Overall, 30% (58/196) of patients met the textbook outcome. Common reasons for failure to attain textbook outcome were prolonged ventilation (68/138, 49%) and reintubation (63/138, 46%). In multivariable analysis, greater weight (odds ratio [OR], 2.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17-3.95; P = .02) was associated with achieving the textbook outcome whereas preoperative shock (OR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.13-0.87; P = .03) and longer bypass time (OR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.98-1.00; P = .002) were negatively associated. Patients who met the outcome incurred fewer hospital costs ($152,430 [141,798-177,983] vs $269,070 [212,451-372,693], P < .001), and after adjusting for patient factors, achieving textbook outcome was independently associated with decreased risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.22-0.89; P = .02). Conclusions Outcomes continue to improve within congenital heart surgery, making operative mortality a less-sensitive metric. The Norwood textbook outcome may represent a balanced measure of a successful episode of care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholecystectomy, hepatectomy, and lymphadenectomy are recommended as the curative treatment for resectable gallbladder cancer (GBC). Textbook outcomes in liver surgery (TOLS) is a novel composite measure that has been defined by expert consensus to represent the optimal postoperative course after hepatectomy. This study aimed to determine the incidence of TOLS and the independent predictors associated with TOLS after curative-intent resection in GBC patients. METHODS All consecutive GBC patients who underwent curative-intent resection between 2014 and 2020 were enrolled from a multicenter database from 11 hospitals as the training and the internal testing cohorts, and Southwest Hospital as the external testing cohort. TOLS was defined as no intraoperative grade greater than or equal to 2 incidents, no grade B/C postoperative bile leaks, no postoperative grade B/C liver failure, no 90-day postoperative major morbidity, no 90-day readmission, no 90-day mortality after hospital discharge, and R0 resection. Independent predictors of TOLS were identified using logistic regression and were used to construct the nomogram. The predictive performance was assessed using the area under the curve and calibration curves. RESULTS TOLS was achieved in 168 patients (54.4%) and 74 patients (57.8%) from the training and internal testing cohorts, and the external testing cohort, respectively. On multivariate analyses, age less than or equal to 70 years, absence of preoperative jaundice (total bilirubin≤3 mg/dl), T1 stage, N0 stage, wedge hepatectomy, and no neoadjuvant therapy were independently associated with TOLS. The nomogram that incorporated these predictors demonstrated excellent calibration and good performance in both the training and external testing cohorts (area under the curve: 0.741 and 0.726). CONCLUSIONS TOLS was only achieved in approximately half of GBC patients treated with curative-intent resection, and the constructed nomogram predicted TOLS accurately.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic colorectal surgery is becoming the preferred surgical approach for colorectal cancer (CRC). It offers several technical advantages over conventional laparoscopy that could improve patient outcomes. In this retrospective cohort study, we compared robotic and laparoscopic surgery for CRC using a national cohort of patients. METHODS Using the colectomy-targeted ACS-NSQIP database (2015-2020), colorectal procedures for malignant etiologies were identified by CPT codes for right colectomy (RC), left colectomy (LC), and low anterior resection (LAR). Optimal pair matching was performed. "Textbook outcome" was defined as the absence of 30-day complications, readmission, or mortality and a length of stay < 5 days. RESULTS We included 53,209 out of 139,759 patients screened for eligibility. Laparoscopic-to-robotic matching of 2:1 was performed for RC and LC, and 1:1 for LAR. The largest standardized mean difference was 0.048 after matching. Robotic surgery was associated with an increased rate of textbook outcomes compared to laparoscopy in RC and LC, but not in LAR (71% vs. 64% in RC, 75% vs. 68% in LC; p < 0.001). Robotic LAR was associated with increased major morbidity (7.1% vs. 5.8%; p = 0.012). For all three procedures, the mean conversion rate of robotic surgery was lower than laparoscopy (4.3% vs. 9.2%; p < 0.001), while the mean operative time was higher for robotic (225 min vs. 177 min; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Robotic surgery for CRC offers an advantage over conventional laparoscopy by improving textbook outcomes in RC and LC. This advantage was not found in robotic LAR, which also showed an increased risk of serious complications. The associations highlighted in our study should be considered in the discussion of the surgical management of patients with colorectal cancer.

A surgical strategy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma - the hilar first concept. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2023; 408:296. [PMID: 37544932 PMCID: PMC10404569 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-023-03023-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The present study assesses long-term overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) after curative resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICCA) depending on resection margin (RM) status and lymph node (LN) status. METHODS Clinical data of all consecutively resected patients with ICCA at a single high-volume center between 2005 and 2018 were collected. Minimum follow-up was 36 months. Perioperative and long-term oncological outcome was assessed. RESULTS One hundred ninety-two cases were included in the analysis. Thirty- and 90-day-mortality was 5.2% (n = 10) and 10.9% (n = 21). OS was 26 months with 1-, 2-, and 5-year-OS rates of 72%, 53%, and 26%. One-, 2-, and 5-year-DFS rates were 54%, 42%, and 35% (N0 vs. N1: 29 vs. 9 months, p = 0.116). R1 was not found to be an independent risk factor for reduced survival in the overall cohort (p = 0.098). When differentiating according to the LN status, clear resection margins were significantly associated with increased DFS for N0 cases (50 months vs. 9 months, p = 0.004). For N1 cases, no significant difference in DFS was calculated for R0 compared to R1 cases (9 months vs. 9 months, p = 0.88). For N0 cases, clear resection margins > 10 mm were associated with prolonged OS (p = 0.048). CONCLUSION For N1 cases, there was no significant survival benefit when comparing R0 versus R1, while the complication rate remained high for the extended resection types. In view of merging multimodal treatment, the hilar first concept assesses locoregional LN status for optimal surgical therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate the impact of liver transplantation (LT) programs on the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who underwent liver resection (LR) and noncurative intent treatment. BACKGROUND LT programs have an array of resources and services that would positively affect the prognosis of patients with HCC. METHODS Patients who underwent LT, LR, radiotherapy (RT), or chemotherapy (CTx) for HCC between 2004 and 2018 were included in the National Cancer Database. Institutions with LT programs were defined as those that performed 1 or more LT for at least 5 years. Centers were stratified by hospital volume. The impact of LT programs was assessed after propensity score matching to achieve covariate balance. RESULTS A total of 71,735 patients were identified, of which 7997 received LT (11.1%), 12,683 LR (17.7%), 15,675 RT (21.9%), and 35,380 CTx (49.3%). Among a total of 1267 distinct institutions, 94 (7.4%) were categorized as LT programs. Designation as an LT program was also associated with a high volume of LR and noncurative intent treatment (both P <0.001). After propensity score matching, LT programs were associated with better survival among LR and noncurative intent treatment patients. Although hospital volume was also associated with improved prognosis, LT programs were associated with additional survival benefits in noncurative intent treatment. On the other hand, no such benefit was noted in patients who underwent LR. CONCLUSIONS The presence of an LT program was associated with a higher volume of LR and noncurative intent treatment. Furthermore, designation as an LT program had a "halo effect" on the prognosis of patients undergoing RT/CTx that went beyond the procedure-volume effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook outcome (TO) can guide decision-making among patients and clinicians during preoperative patient selection and postoperative quality improvement. We explored the factors associated with achieving a TO for gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) after curative-intent resection and analyzed the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) on TO and non-TO patients. METHODS A total of 540 patients who underwent curative-intent resection for GBC at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate the factors associated with TO. RESULTS Among 540 patients with GBC who underwent curative-intent resection, 223 patients (41.3%) achieved a TO. The incidence of TO ranged from 19.0% to 51.0% across the study period, with a slightly increasing trend over the study period. The multivariate analysis showed that non-TO was an independent risk factor for prognosis among GBC patients after resection (P =0.003). Age ≤60 years (P =0.016), total bilirubin (TBIL) level ≤34.1 μmol/L (P <0.001), well-differentiated tumor (P =0.008), no liver involvement (P <0.001), and T1-2 stage disease (P =0.006) were independently associated with achieving a TO for GBC after resection. Before and after propensity score matching (PSM), the overall survival outcomes of non-TO GBC patients who received ACT and those who did not were statistically significant; ACT improved the prognosis of patients in the non-TO group (P <0.050). CONCLUSION Achieving a TO is associated with a better long-term prognosis among GBC patients after curative-intent resection, and ACT can improve the prognosis of those with non-TO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To reach global expert consensus on the definition of TOLS in minimally invasive and open liver resection among renowned international expert liver surgeons using a modified Delphi method. BACKGROUND Textbook outcome is a novel composite measure combining the most desirable postoperative outcomes into one single measure and representing the ideal postoperative course. Despite a recently developed international definition of Textbook Outcome in Liver Surgery (TOLS), a standardized and expert consensus-based definition is lacking. METHODS This international, consensus-based, qualitative study used a Delphi process to achieve consensus on the definition of TOLS. The survey comprised 6 surgical domains with a total of 26 questions on individual surgical outcome variables. The process included 4 rounds of online questionnaires. Consensus was achieved when a threshold of at least 80% agreement was reached. The results from the Delphi rounds were used to establish an international definition of TOLS. RESULTS In total, 44 expert liver surgeons from 22 countries and all 3 major international hepato-pancreato-biliary associations completed round 1. Forty-two (96%), 41 (98%), and 41 (98%) of the experts participated in round 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The TOLS definition derived from the consensus process included the absence of intraoperative grade ≥2 incidents, postoperative bile leakage grade B/C, postoperative liver failure grade B/C, 90-day major postoperative complications, 90-day readmission due to surgery-related major complications, 90-day/in-hospital mortality, and the presence of R0 resection margin. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study providing an international expert consensus-based definition of TOLS for minimally invasive and open liver resections by the use of a formal Delphi consensus approach. TOLS may be useful in assessing patient-level hospital performance and carrying out international comparisons between centers with different clinical practices to further improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessment of the quality of care among patients undergoing hepatectomy may be inadequate using traditional "siloed" postoperative surgical outcome metrics. In turn, the combination of several quality metrics into a single composite Textbook Outcome in Liver Surgery (TOLS) may be more representative of "ideal" surgical care. METHODS Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, a search for primary articles on post-operative TOLS evaluation after hepatectomy was performed. Studies that did not present hepatectomy outcomes, pediatric or transplantation populations, duplicated series, and editorials were excluded. Studies were evaluated in aggregate for methodological variation, TOLS rates, factors associated with TOLS, hospital variation, and overall findings. RESULTS Among 207 identified publications, 32 observational cohort studies were selected for inclusion in the review. There was a total of 90,077 hepatic resections performed from 1993 to 2020 in the analytic cohort. While TOLS definitions varied widely, all studies used an "all-or-none" composite structure combining a median of 5 (range: 4-7) discrete parameters. Observed TOLS rates varied in the different reported populations from 11.2 to 77.0%. TOLS was associated with patient, hospital, and operative factors. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review summarizes the contemporary international experience with TOLS to assess surgical performance following hepatobiliary surgery. TOLS is a single composite metric that may be more patient-centered, as well as better suited to quantify "optimal" care and compare performance among centers performing liver surgery.

Higher Tumor Burden Status Dictates the Impact of Surgical Margin Status on Overall Survival in Patients Undergoing Resection of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma. Ann Surg Oncol 2023; 30:2023-2032. [PMID: 36396868 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-022-12803-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to examine the prognostic significance of margin status following hepatectomy of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) relative to overall tumor burden and nodal status. METHOD Patients who underwent curative-intent surgery for ICC between 1990 and 2017 were included from a multi-institutional database. The impact of margin status and width on overall survival (OS) was examined relative to TBS and preoperative nodal status. RESULTS Among 1105 patients with ICC who underwent resection, median tumor burden score (TBS) was 6.1 (IQR 4.2-8.8) and 218 (19.7%) patients had N1 disease. More than one in eight patients had an R1 surgical margin (n = 154, 13.9%). Among patients with low or medium TBS, an increasing margin width was associated with an incrementally improved 5-year OS (R1 31.9% vs. 1-3 mm 38.5% vs. 3-10 mm 48.0% vs. ≥ 10 mm 52.3%). In contrast, among patients with a high TBS, margin width was not associated with better survival (R1 28.9% vs. 1-3 mm 22.8% vs. 3-10 mm 29.6% vs. ≥ 10 mm 13.7%). In addition, surgical margin status did not impact survival with cutoffs of TBS 7 or greater. Furthermore, patients with low or medium TBS and preoperative negative lymph nodes derived a survival benefit from an R0 resection (R1 resection, HR 2.15, 95% CI 1.35-3.44, p = 0.001). In contrast, margin status was not associated with prognosis among patients with a high TBS and preoperative positive/suspicious lymph nodes (R1 resection, HR 1.34, 95% CI 0.58-3.11, p = 0.50). CONCLUSION R0 resection and wider margin resection resulted in improved outcomes in patients with low tumor burden; however, the survival benefit of negative margin status disappeared in patients with underlying poor tumor biology.

Major complications and mortality after resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Surgery 2023; 173:973-982. [PMID: 36577599 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2022.11.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation of morbidity and mortality after hepatic resection often lacks stratification by extent of resection or diagnosis. Although a liver resection for different indications may have technical similarities, postoperative outcomes differ. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the risk of major complications and mortality after resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS Meta-analysis was performed to assess postoperative mortality (in-hospital, 30-, and 90-day) and major complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥III). RESULTS A total of 32 studies that reported on 19,503 patients were included. Pooled in-hospital, 30-day, and 90-day mortality were 5.9% (95% confidence interval 4.1-8.4); 4.6% (95% confidence interval 4.0-5.2); and 6.1% (95% confidence interval 5.0-7.3), respectively. Pooled proportion of major complications was 22.2% (95% confidence interval 17.7-27.5) for all resections. The pooled 90-day mortality was 3.1% (95% confidence interval 1.8-5.2) for a minor resection, 7.4% (95% confidence interval 5.9-9.3) for all major resections, and 11.4% (95% confidence interval 6.9-18.7) for extended resections (P = .001). Major complications were 38.8% (95% confidence interval 29.5-49) after a major hepatectomy compared to 11.3% (95% confidence interval 5.0-24.0) after a minor hepatectomy (P = .001). Asian studies had a pooled 90-day mortality of 4.4% (95% confidence interval 3.3-5.9) compared to 6.8% (95% confidence interval 5.6-8.2) for Western studies (P = .02). Cohorts with patients included before 2000 had a pooled 90-day mortality of 5.9% (95% confidence interval 4.8-7.3) compared to 6.8% (95% confidence interval 5.1-9.1) after 2000 (P = .44). CONCLUSION When informing patients or comparing outcomes across hospitals, postoperative mortality rates after liver resection should be reported for 90-days with consideration of the diagnosis and the extent of liver resection.

Risk factors for achieving textbook outcome after laparoscopic duodenum-preserving total pancreatic head resection: a retrospective cohort study. Int J Surg 2023; 109:698-706. [PMID: 36999787 PMCID: PMC10389462 DOI: 10.1097/js9.0000000000000251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 04/01/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The risk factors for achieving textbook outcome (TO) after laparoscopic duodenum-preserving total pancreatic head resection (LDPPHR-t) are unknown, and no relevant articles have been reported so far. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for achieving TO after LDPPHR-t. METHODS The risk factors for achieving TO after LDPPHR-t were retrospectively evaluated by logistic regression analysis in 31 consecutive patients from May 2020 to December 2021. RESULTS All LDPPHR-t procedures were successfully performed without conversion. There was no death within 90 days after surgery and no readmission within 30 days after discharge. The percentage of achieving TO after LDPPHR-t was 61.3% (19/31). Among the six TO items, the postoperative complication of grade B/C postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) occurred most frequently with 22.6%, followed by grade B/C bile leakage with 19.4%, Clavien-Dindo≥III complications with 19.4%, and grade B/C postpancreatectomy hemorrhage with 16.1%. POPF was the major obstacle to achieve TO after LDPPHR-t. Placing an endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) catheter and prolonged operation time (>311 min) were significantly associated with the decreased probability of achieving TO after LDPPHR-t (odd ratio (OR), 25.775; P =0.012 and OR, 16.378; P =0.020, respectively). Placing an ENBD catheter was the only significant independent risk factor for POPF after LDPPHR-t (OR, 19.580; P =0.017). Bile leakage was the independent risk factor for postpancreatectomy hemorrhage after LDPPHR-t (OR, 15.754; P =0.040). The prolonged operation time was significantly correlated with Clavien-Dindo grade≥III complications after LDPPHR-t (OR, 19.126; P =0.024). CONCLUSION Placing the ENBD catheter was the independent risk factor for POPF and achieving TO after LDPPHR-t. In order to reduce POPF and increase the probability of achieving TO, placing an ENBD catheter should be avoided prior to LDPPHR-t.

Abstract
Background and Objective Guidelines are required because of the wide variability in care provided to patients with similar characteristics and similar medical conditions. Quality indicators were developed many years ago to assess the quality of care provided by hospitals. Since then, it has become evident that a composite set of factors can better characterize the patient's quality of care. The objectives of this review were to analyze the textbook outcomes (TO) applied in surgery, focusing on laparoscopic hepatectomy. Methods Data pertaining to quality indicators used in hospitals and their surgical applications were retrieved from medical literature by searching PubMed and Google Scholar for articles published between 1912 and 2022. Search terms included quality indicators, outcome indicators, TOs, TOs after surgery, TOs after hepatectomy, and clinical indicators. Key Content and Findings Since their inception, TO have been applied to various procedures and their impacts on patients have been assessed. TO and their implications have been studied for a variety of surgical procedures and were recently extended to laparoscopic hepatectomy. TO of laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy and right hemihepatectomy were recently assessed, and benchmark values have been defined. TO are useful tools for assessing hospital performance and for optimizing the outcomes of patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy. Conclusions At present, TO only consider surgeon-related factors. However, it is important to include the patient's perspective when defining TO. Although TO were recently applied to laparoscopic hepatectomy, there is still a need to further evaluate their application in this setting. Achieving TO was shown to have a positive impact on long-term outcomes and this needs to be studied for different liver resection procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Familiarity with the surgical work environment has been demonstrated to improve outcomes. We sought to investigate the impact of the rate of fragmented practice on textbook outcomes, a validated composite outcome representing an "optimal" postoperative course. METHODS Patients who underwent a hepatic or pancreatic surgical procedure between 2013 and 2017 were identified from the Medicare Standard Analytic Files. The rate of fragmented practice was defined as the surgeon's volume over the study period relative to the number of facilities practiced at. The association between the rate of fragmented practice and textbook outcomes was assessed using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 37,599 patients were included (pancreatic: n = 23,701, 63.0%; hepatic: n = 13,898, 37.0%). After controlling for relevant characteristics, patients who underwent surgery by surgeons in higher rate of fragmented practice categories had lower odds of achieving a textbook outcome (reference: low rate of fragmented practice; intermediate rate of fragmented practice: odds ratio = 0.88 [95% confidence interval 0.84-0.93]; high rate of fragmented practice: odds ratio = 0.58 [95% confidence interval 0.54-0.61]) (both P < .001). Of note, the adverse effect of a high rate of fragmented practice on the achievement of textbook outcomes remained substantial, regardless of the county-level social vulnerability index [high rate of fragmented practice; low social vulnerability index: odds ratio = 0.58 (95% confidence interval 0.52-0.66); intermediate social vulnerability index: odds ratio = 0.56 (95% confidence interval 0.52-0.61); high social vulnerability index: odds ratio = 0.60 (95% confidence interval 0.54-0.68)] (all P < .001). Patients in intermediate and high social vulnerability index counties had 19% and 37% greater odds of undergoing surgery by a high rate of fragmented practice surgeon (reference: low social vulnerability index; intermediate social vulnerability index: odds ratio = 1.19 [95% confidence interval 1.12-1.26]; high social vulnerability index: odds ratio = 1.37 [95% confidence interval 1.28-1.46]). CONCLUSION Owing to the impact of the rate of fragmented practice on postoperative outcomes, decreasing fragmentation of care may be an important target for quality initiatives and a means to alleviate social disparities in surgical care.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sequence of therapies for synchronous liver metastasis (LM) is complex, with data supporting individualized approaches, although no guiding tools are currently available. We assessed the impact of simultaneous hepatic and visceral resections (SHVR) on textbook outcome (TO) and return to intended oncologic therapy (RIOT), and provide risk-stratification tools to guide individualized decision making and counseling. METHODS Patients with synchronous LM undergoing hepatectomy ± SHVR were included (2015-2021). Primary and secondary outcomes were TO and RIOT (days), respectively. Using multivariable modeling, a risk score for TO was developed. Decision tree analysis using recursive partitioning was performed for hierarchical risk stratification. The associations between SHVR, TO, and RIOT were examined. RESULTS Among 533 patients identified, 124 underwent SHVR. TO overall was 71.7%; 79.2% in the non-SHVR group and 46.8% in the SHVR group (p < 0.001). SHVR was the strongest predictor of non-TO (right colon/small bowel: odds ratio [OR] 4.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.65-8.08; left colon/rectum: OR 6.09, 95% CI 2.59-14.3; stomach/pancreas: OR 6.69, 95% CI 1.46-30.7; multivisceral: OR 10.9, 95% CI 3.03-39.5). A composite score was developed yielding three risk strata for TO (score 0-2: 89% vs. score 3-5: 67% vs. score ≥ 6: 37%; p < 0.001). Decision tree analysis was congruent, identifying SHVR as the most important determinant of TO. In patients with colorectal LM, SHVR was associated with delayed time to RIOT (p = 0.004); the risk-stratification tool for TO was equally predictive of RIOT (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS SHVR is associated with reduced likelihood of TO and in turn delayed RIOT. As SHVR is increasingly performed in order to consolidate cancer care, patient selection considering these different outcomes is critical.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioelectric impedance vector analysis (BIVA) is a reliable tool to assess body composition. The aim was to study the association of BIVA-derived phase angle (PA) and standardized PA (SPA) values and the occurrence of surgery-related morbidity. METHODS Patients undergoing hepatectomy for cancer in two Italian centers were prospectively enrolled. BIVA was performed the morning of surgery. Patients were then stratified for the occurrence or not of postoperative morbidity. RESULTS Out of 190 enrolled patients, 76 (40%) experienced postoperative complications. Patients with morbidity had a significant lower PA, SPA, body cell mass, and skeletal muscle mass, and higher extracellular water and fat mass. At the multivariate analysis, presence of cirrhosis (OR 7.145, 95% CI:2.712-18.822, p < 0.001), the Charlson comorbidity index (OR 1.236, 95% CI: 1.009-1.515, p = 0.041), the duration of surgery (OR 1.004, 95% CI:1.001-1.008, p = 0.018), blood loss (OR 1.002. 95% CI: 1.001-1.004, p = 0.004), dehydration (OR 10.182, 95% CI: 1.244-83.314, p = 0.030) and SPA < -1.65 (OR 3.954, 95% CI: 1.699-9.202, p = 0.001) were significantly and independently associated with the risk of complications. CONCLUSION Introducing BIVA before hepatic resections may add valuable and independent information on the risk of morbidity.

Abstract
Objective Assess associations of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) using Area Deprivation Index (ADI), race/ethnicity and insurance type with Textbook Outcomes (TO). Summary Background Data Individual- and contextual-level SDoH affect health outcomes, but only one SDoH level is usually included. Methods Three healthcare system cohort study using National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2013-2019) linked with ADI risk-adjusted for frailty, case status and operative stress examining TO/TO components (unplanned reoperations, complications, mortality, Emergency Department/Observation Stays and readmissions). Results Cohort (34,251 cases) mean age 58.3 [SD=16.0], 54.8% females, 14.1% Hispanics, 11.6% Non-Hispanic Blacks, 21.6% with ADI>85, and 81.8% TO. Racial and ethnic minorities, non-Private insurance, and ADI>85 patients had increased odds of urgent/emergent surgeries (aORs range: 1.17-2.83, all P<.001). Non-Hispanic Black patients, ADI>85 and non-Private insurances had lower TO odds (aORs range: 0.55-0.93, all P<.04), but ADI>85 lost significance after including case status. Urgent/emergent versus elective had lower TO odds (aOR=0.51, P<.001). ADI>85 patients had higher complication and mortality odds. Estimated reduction in TO probability was 9.9% (CI=7.2%-12.6%) for urgent/emergent cases, 7.0% (CI=4.6%-9.3%) for Medicaid, and 1.6% (CI=0.2%-3.0%) for non-Hispanic Black patients. TO probability difference for lowest-risk (White-Private-ADI≤85-elective) to highest-risk (Black-Medicaid-ADI>85-urgent/emergent) was 29.8% for very frail patients. Conclusion Multi-level SDoH had independent effects on TO, predominately affecting outcomes through increased rates/odds of urgent/emergent surgeries driving complications and worse outcomes. Lowest-risk versus highest-risk scenarios demonstrated the magnitude of intersecting SDoH variables. Combination of insurance type and ADI should be used to identify high-risk patients to redesign care pathways to improve outcomes. Risk adjustment including contextual neighborhood deprivation and patient-level SDoH could reduce unintended consequences of value-based programs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Textbook outcomes (TBO) are composite measures of care which may be superior in assessing quality compared to traditional methods. We aim to define TBO which are specific to surgical resection of colorectal liver metastases, and investigate their impact on survival. METHODS Single center analysis of all liver resections performed at our center from 2009 to 2020. A Cox model was used to identify perioperative outcomes which impacted on overall survival. These were retained with important postoperative outcomes to form a "TBO." The impact of a TBO on overall survival was investigated using Kaplan-Meier curve analysis. RESULTS TBO was achieved in 72.2% (197/273) of resections. Major morbidity (Clavien-Dindo ≥3) at 19.4% was the major limiting factor in not achieving a TBO. TBO was associated with improved 3-year (77% vs. 55%), 5-year (60.7% vs. 42.5%), and median (93 vs. 44 months) overall survival (log-rank test, p = 0.006). Multivariable analysis revealed age >65 years, American Society of Anaesthesiologists Grade III-IV, and resection of >2 segments as factors predictive of not achieving a TBO. CONCLUSION TBO is a useful composite measure in surgery for colorectal liver metastases. It can highlight areas which may be targeted for quality improvement and be useful as a tool to examine variation between centers. Achieving a TBO is associated with a significant improvement in survival.
