Development of predictive score for postoperative dysphagia after emergency abdominal surgery in patients of advanced age. Ann Gastroenterol Surg 2024; 8:172-181. [PMID: 38250679 PMCID: PMC10797835 DOI: 10.1002/ags3.12716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim Postoperative dysphagia after emergency abdominal surgery (EAS) in patients of advanced age has become problematic, and appropriate dysphagia management is needed. This study was performed to identify predictive factors of dysphagia after EAS and to explore the usefulness of swallowing screening tools (SSTs). Methods This retrospective study included 267 patients of advanced age who underwent EAS from 2012 to 2022. They were assigned to a dysphagia group and non-dysphagia group using the Food Intake Level Scale (FILS) (dysphagia was defined as a FILS level of <7 on postoperative day 10). From 2018, original SSTs including a modified water swallowing test were performed by nurses. Results The incidence of postoperative dysphagia was 22.8% (61/267). Patients were significantly older in the dysphagia than non-dysphagia group. The proportions of patients who had poor nutrition, cerebrovascular disorder, Parkinson's disease, dementia, nursing-care service, high intramuscular adipose tissue content (IMAC), and postoperative ventilator management were much higher in the dysphagia than non-dysphagia group. Using logistic regression analysis, high IMAC, postoperative ventilator management, cerebrovascular disorder, and dementia were correlated with postoperative dysphagia and were assigned 10, 4, 3, and 3 points, respectively, according to each odds ratio. The optimal cut-off value was 7 according to a receiver operating characteristics curve. Using 1:1 propensity score matching for high-risk patients, the incidence of postoperative dysphagia was reduced by SSTs. Conclusions The new prediction score obtained from this study can identify older patients at high risk for dysphagia after EAS, and SSTs may improve these patients' short-term outcomes.

Significance of skeletal muscle index-to-body mass index ratio as a predictor of post-surgical bleeding after mastectomy in patients with breast cancer. Breast Cancer 2023; 30:933-942. [PMID: 37440158 DOI: 10.1007/s12282-023-01483-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-surgical bleeding is a major complication of mastectomy in patients with breast cancer. However, the risk factors for post-surgical bleeding have not been well studied. Although obesity or reduced skeletal muscle mass is an indicator of cancer surgery complications, its impact on post-surgical bleeding after mastectomy remains unknown. METHODS In total, 563 patients with breast cancer who underwent mastectomy were included in this study. We evaluated the preoperative body mass index (BMI), skeletal muscle index (SMI), and SMI-to-BMI ratio and analyzed the association between these values and the incidence of post-surgical bleeding. RESULTS Post-surgical bleeding occurred in 33 (5.6%) patients. Mean BMI was significantly higher in the bleeding group (26.3 ± 4.7) than in the no-bleeding group (23.0 ± 4.1) (p < 0.001), whereas mean SMI was lower in the former group (45.0 ± 8.5) than in the latter group (48.0 ± 8.5) (p = 0.08). The bleeding group had significantly lower SMI-to-BMI ratio (1.71 ± 0.16) than the no-bleeding group (2.10 ± 0.23) (p < 0.001). Among these three parameters, SMI-to-BMI ratio had the highest area under the curve value in their receiver operating characteristic curves (0.73 for BMI, 0.59 for SMI, 0.92 for SMI-to-BMI ratio). Furthermore, on multivariate analysis, SMI-to-BMI ratio was an independent risk factor for post-surgical bleeding (hazard ratio, 38.4; 95% confidence interval, 13.9-136.2; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS SMI-to-BMI ratio is a superior predictive factor of post-surgical bleeding after mastectomy to either BMI or SMI alone.

Abstract
Aim Cachexia is associated with the morbidity and mortality of cancer patients. The cachexia index (CXI) is a novel biomarker of cachexia associated with the prognosis for certain cancers. This study analyzed the relationship between CXI with long-term outcomes of gastric cancer patients. Methods We included 175 gastric cancer patients who underwent curative gastrectomy at our hospital between January 2011 and October 2019. The CXI was calculated using skeletal muscle index, serum albumin level, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. The prognostic value of CXI was investigated by univariate and multivariate Cox hazard regression models adjusting for potential confounders. Results In the multivariate analyses, tumor location (hazard ratio [HR], 0.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.11-0.49; p < 0.01), disease stage (HR, 15.4; 95% CI, 4.18-56.1; p < 0.01), and low CXI (HR, 2.97; 95% CI, 1.01-8.15; p = 0.03) were independent and significant predictors of disease-free survival. Disease stage (HR, 9.88; 95% CI, 3.53-29.1; p < 0.01) and low CXI (HR, 4.07; 95% CI, 1.35-12.3; p < 0.01) were independent and significant predictors of overall survival. The low CXI group had a lower body mass index (p = 0.02), advanced disease stage (p = 0.034), and a lower prognostic nutritional index (p < 0.01). Conclusions Cachexia index is associated with a poor prognosis for gastric cancer, suggesting the utility of comprehensive assessment using nutritional, physical, and inflammatory status.

Abstract
This study aimed to clarify the factors associated with death due to other diseases after a gastrectomy for gastric cancer. This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients who had undergone gastrectomy between April 2008 and June 2018 for primary stage II-III gastric cancer. The primary outcome was other-cause survival. To identify prognostic factors for other-cause survival for univariate analysis, we used a Cox proportional hazard regression model. A total of 512 patients met the inclusion criteria. The average age was 67.93 years, and the average body mass index was 22.75 kg/m2, with 84 (16.4%) being moderately malnourished and 88 (17.2%) being severely malnourished, as defined by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. The other-cause survival for the malnourished group was significantly worse than that for the normal group (p < 0.001). The prognosis was worse when the severity of malnutrition was worse (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that severe malnutrition was significantly independent of prognostic factors for other-cause survival (hazard ratio: 3.310; 95% confidence interval: 1.426-7.682; p = 0.005). Undernutrition, as defined by the GLIM criteria, is useful for the preoperative prediction of death due to other diseases after gastrectomy in patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between muscle mass proportion and the incidence of total complications in male gastric cancer (GC) patients after minimally invasive distal gastrectomy (MIDG). METHODS Between March 2017 and March 2020, 152 male GC patients with clinical stage III or lower GC who underwent MIDG were enrolled in this study. The muscle mass ratio (MMR) was calculated by dividing the total muscle weight obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis by the whole-body weight. Thereafter, the association between MMR and surgical outcomes was determined. RESULTS Based on the optimal MMR cutoff value of 0.712 obtained using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, patients were divided into two groups (69 and 83 patients in the MMR-L and MMR-H groups). The MMR-L group had a significantly higher total complication rate compared to the MMR-H group (MMR-L, 24.6% vs. MMR-H, 7.2%; P = 0.005). Multivariate analysis also identified MMR-L as a significant independent risk factor for total complications and intra-abdominal infectious complications after MIDG. CONCLUSIONS The MMR calculated using bioelectrical impedance analysis can be a useful predictor for postoperative complications after MIDG in male GC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no consensus on the relation between visceral fat mass and long-term postoperative prognosis in patients with upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancer. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of preoperative visceral fat mass with postoperative complications and overall survival (OS) in patients with upper GI cancer. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE (Dialog), the WHO International Clinical Trials Platform Search Portal, and ClinicalTrials.gov and identified observational studies published from inception through 20 July 2022. We conducted a systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis of studies including patients who were surgically treated for upper GI cancer and whose visceral fat mass was assessed on the basis of body composition. We independently assessed the risk of bias and quality of evidence using the Quality In Prognosis Studies and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach, respectively. The primary outcome was OS. HRs and 95% CIs for OS were pooled. RESULTS Ninety-one studies (n = 20,583) were included. All studies used computed tomography (CT) to assess the body composition of patients. Twenty-four studies reported the relation between high visceral fat and postoperative outcomes, and their results were synthesized. Compared with low visceral adipose tissue, high visceral adipose tissue assessed by CT may improve OS (HR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.55, 0.87; I2 = 65%; n = 3407). The risk of bias for OS in each study was moderate or high. The certainty of evidence for OS was very low because of inconsistency in the forest plot, the moderate or high risk of bias, and publication bias. CONCLUSIONS High visceral fat may be associated with improved OS after radical resection in patients with upper GI cancer. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and mitigate the risk.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated whether preoperative low-handgrip strength (HGS) defined by the Asian working group for sarcopenia could be a predictor of postoperative outcomes in patients with gastric cancer. A total of 327 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for c-stage I-III primary gastric cancer with pre-operative HGS records were included. The cut-off values of HGS were defined as 28 kg for males and 18 kg for females, with values below and above the cut-off defined as low-HGS and high-HGS, respectively. The primary outcome was infectious complications. We compared the postoperative outcomes of the groups after adjusting for the background using propensity score matching. Of the 327 patients, 246 (75.2%) and 81 (24.8%) were in the high and low-HGS groups, respectively. After adjusting for background, there were 57 patients in both groups. After matching, the low-HGS group had significantly more infectious complications (17.5% vs. 1.8%, p = 0.008). Multivariate analysis of infectious complications in the low-HGS group demonstrated chronic kidney disease and diabetes as independent risk factors (odds ratio 4.390, 95% confidence interval 1.120-17.20, p = 0.034). Preoperative low-HGS according to the Asian criteria was associated with infectious complications after gastrectomy. Chronic kidney disease and diabetes were independent risk factors for infectious complications among patients with low-HGS.

Abstract
Aims: In this study, we focused on the fat ratio within psoas muscle (FRPM) and sought to clarify the impact of FRPM on overall survival (OS) in stage IV gastric cancer (GC) patients undergoing systemic chemotherapy (n = 79, median age = 69 years, 59 males). Methods: The median FRPM was 1.67 %. Forty patients with FRPM ≥1.67 % were defined as the FRPM-high group, and the remaining 39 patients was defined as the FRPM-low group. The median PMI in male and female patients was 4.35 cm2/m2 and 2.88 cm2/m2. Thirty male patients with PMI ≥4.35 cm2/m2 and 10 female patients with PMI ≥2.88 cm2/m2 was defined as the PMI-high group, and the remaining 39 patients was defined as the PMI-low group. Results: The 1-, 2- and 3- year cumulative OS rate for all cases was 70.8%, 24.3% and 14.6%. The proportion of ECOG-PS 2 or 3 in patients with FRPM-high and FRPM-low was 17.5% (7/40) and 2.6% (1/39). The 1-, 2- and 3- year cumulative OS rate in patients with FRPM-high and FRPM-low was 67.3%, 14.3% and 7.6% in the FRPM-high group and 74.8%, 40.5% and 32.4% in the FRPM-low group (P = 0.0341). The 1-, 2- and 3- year cumulative OS rate in patients with PMI-high and PMI-low was 86.7%, 40.4% and 30.0% in the PMI-high group and 55.8%, 12.8% and 6.4% in the PMI-low group (P < 0.0001). In the multivariate analysis of factors associated with OS, PMI (P = 0.0047) and FRPM (P = 0.0019) were independent predictors for the OS. Conclusion: Higher FRPM can be associated with decreased physical activity, and not only skeletal muscle mass but also skeletal muscle function can be an essential prognostic factor in stage IV GC patients undergoing systemic chemotherapy.

Abstract
This study investigated the paradox of high visceral fat mass increasing severe complications but improving long-term prognosis after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. This was a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with primary stage I–III gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy between April 2008 and June 2018. The visceral adipose tissue index (VAI) was calculated by dividing the visceral fat mass preoperatively measured on computed tomography by the square of the height. Patients with VAIs below the median cut-off value were classified as low-VAI, while those above it were classified as high-VAI. We compared the postoperative complication rate and overall survival (OS) in the low- and high-VAI groups after adjusting patient characteristics using propensity score matching (PSM). There were 155 patients in both groups after PSM. After matching, there was no significant difference in factors other than BMI and VAI that were not adjusted. The high-VAI group had more severe postoperative complications (p = 0.018), but the OS was significantly better in the high-VAI group (hazard ratio 0.611, 95%CI 0.403–0.928, p = 0.021). Preoperative high visceral fat mass not only increased severe complications, but also improved OS after gastrectomy in patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Association of Sarcopenia and Low Nutritional Status with Unplanned Hospital Readmission after Radical Gastrectomy in Patients with Gastric Cancer: A Case-Control Study. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:7246848. [PMID: 35463676 PMCID: PMC9033374 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7246848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Objective. Sarcopenia is one of the influencing factors of poor prognosis in patients with gastric cancer but the association with readmission are unknown. We aimed to explore factors associated with readmission after gastrectomy and to determine whether preoperative sarcopenia is a common outcome in readmitted patients. Methods. In this case-control study, patients who underwent gastric resection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between April 2016 and September 2017 were included. The reasons of readmission patients were described. The readmission patients and non-readmission patients were matched by propensity score matching (PSM). The univariate analysis was applied for the baseline characteristics, operative details, postoperative prognosis and discharge disposition, and multiple logistic regression analysis for the independent risk factors of readmission. Results. The unplanned readmission rate within 30 days of radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer was 6.5% (43/657). The average time interval from discharge to readmission was 13 days. Delayed gastric evacuation was the main cause of readmission (18.6%, 8/43). Body mass index (BMI), nutritional risk screening (NRS) 2002 score, history of abdominal surgery, sarcopenia, and preoperative albumin were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. NRS 2002 (OR = 3.43, 95% CI: 1.10–10.72,
) and sarcopenia (OR = 4.25, 95% CI: 1.13–16.02,
) were found to be independently associated with unplanned readmission within 30 days of radical gastrectomy for cancer. Other factors such as age, sex, BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, surgical method, operation and reconstruction type, TNM stage, surgical duration, previous abdominal surgery, and preoperative albumin and hemoglobin level were not associated with unplanned readmission after radical gastrectomy for cancer. Conclusions. Sarcopenia and low nutritional status are independently associated with unplanned readmission within 30 days of radical gastrectomy for cancer.

The Combination of Preoperative Skeletal Muscle Quantity and Quality is an Important Indicator of Survival in Elderly Patients Undergoing Curative Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer. World J Surg 2021; 45:2868-2877. [PMID: 34235561 DOI: 10.1007/s00268-021-06204-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of sarcopenia emphasizes both, the quantity and quality of skeletal muscle. However, the impact of the combination of muscle quantity and quality on long-term survival remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the impact of the combination of skeletal muscle quantity and quality on long-term outcomes in patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative resection. METHODS We retrospectively assessed 242 patients aged ≥ 65 ears who underwent curative gastrectomy between 2006 and 2015. The psoas muscle mass index (PMI) and intramuscular adipose tissue content (IMAC) were measured on preoperative computed tomography as skeletal muscle quantity and quality, respectively. The sarcopenia stage was classified by the combination of preoperative skeletal muscle quantity and quality (non-sarcopenia, sarcopenia, and severe sarcopenia). Prognostic factors for the 5-year overall survival (OS), non-cancer-specific survival (non-CSS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were evaluated by multivariable Cox regression. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 63.2 months. The non-sarcopenia, sarcopenia, and severe sarcopenia groups comprised 88, 121, and 33 patients (36.4%, 50.0%, and 13.6%), respectively. The severe sarcopenia group was older, and had a greater depth of invasion, than the non-sarcopenia group. Multivariable analysis revealed severe sarcopenia as an independent predictive indicator of OS (hazard ratio [HR] 4.01; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.75 to 9.22) and non-CSS (HR 3.27; 95% CI 1.61 to 6.67), but not CSS. CONCLUSIONS The combination of preoperative skeletal muscle quantity and quality was useful for predicting survival, especially death from other diseases, in elderly patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
