Clinical feasibility of the preoperative C-reactive protein-albumin-lymphocyte index to predict short- and long-term outcomes of patients with gastric cancer. J Gastrointest Surg 2024; 28:1045-1050. [PMID: 38641163 DOI: 10.1016/j.gassur.2024.04.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is a major leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Systemic inflammation and the nutrition-based score are feasible prognostic markers for malignancies. Emerging evidence has also revealed the C-reactive protein-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index to be a prognostic marker for several cancer types. However, its clinical significance to predict surgical and oncologic outcomes of patients with GC remains unclear. METHODS We assessed the preoperative CALLY index in 426 patients with GC who received gastrectomy. RESULTS A low preoperative CALLY index was significantly correlated to all well-established clinicopathologic factors for disease development, including an advanced T stage, the presence of venous invasion, lymphatic vessel invasion, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and an advanced TNM stage. A low preoperative CALLY index was also an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (hazard ratio [HR], 2.64; 95 % CI, 1.66-4.2; P < .0001) and disease-free survival (HR, 1.76; 95 % CI, 1.01-3.05; P = .045). In addition, a low preoperative CALLY index was an independent predictive factor for postoperative surgical site infection (odds ratio, 2.64; 95 % CI, 1.42-4.89; P = .002). CONCLUSION The preoperative CALLY index is valuable for perioperative and oncologic management of patients with GC.

Using preoperative C-reactive protein levels to predict anastomotic leaks and other complications after elective colorectal surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Colorectal Dis 2024; 26:1114-1130. [PMID: 38720514 DOI: 10.1111/codi.17017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
AIM While postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) is used routinely as an early indicator of anastomotic leak (AL), preoperative CRP remains to be established as a potential predictor of AL for elective colorectal surgery. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to examine the association between preoperative CRP and postoperative complications including AL. METHOD MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library and CINAHL databases were searched. Studies with reported preoperative CRP values and short-term surgical outcomes after elective colorectal surgery were included. An inverse variance random effects meta-analysis was performed for all meta-analysed outcomes to determine if patients with or without complications and AL differed in their preoperative CRP levels. Risk of bias was assessed with MINORS and certainty of evidence with GRADE. RESULTS From 1945 citations, 23 studies evaluating 7147 patients were included. Patients experiencing postoperative infective complications had significantly greater preoperative CRP values [eight studies, n = 2421 patients, mean difference (MD) 8.0, 95% CI 3.77-12.23, p < 0.01]. A significant interaction was observed with subgroup analysis based on whether patients were undergoing surgery for inflammatory bowel disease (X2 = 8.99, p < 0.01). Preoperative CRP values were not significantly different between patients experiencing and not experiencing AL (seven studies, n = 3317, MD 2.15, 95% CI -2.35 to 6.66, p = 0.35), nor were they different between patients experiencing and not experiencing overall postoperative morbidity (nine studies, n = 2958, MD 4.54, 95% CI -2.55 to 11.62, p = 0.31) after elective colorectal surgery. CONCLUSION Higher preoperative CRP levels are associated with increased rates of overall infective complications, but not with AL alone or with overall morbidity in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery.

Rennie O, Sharma M, Helwa N. Colorectal anastomotic leakage: a narrative review of definitions, grading systems, and consequences of leaks. Front Surg 2024; 11:1371567. [PMID: 38756356 PMCID: PMC11097957 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2024.1371567] [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: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Anastomotic leaks (ALs) are a significant and feared postoperative complication, with incidence of up to 30% despite advances in surgical techniques. With implications such as additional interventions, prolonged hospital stays, and hospital readmission, ALs have important impacts at the level of individual patients and healthcare providers, as well as healthcare systems as a whole. Challenges in developing unified definitions and grading systems for leaks have proved problematic, despite acknowledgement that colorectal AL is a critical issue in intestinal surgery with serious consequences. The aim of this study was to construct a narrative review of literature surrounding definitions and grading systems for ALs, and consequences of this postoperative complication. Methods A literature review was conducted by examining databases including PubMed, Web of Science, OVID Embase, Google Scholar, and Cochrane library databases. Searches were performed with the following keywords: anastomosis, anastomotic leak, colorectal, surgery, grading system, complications, risk factors, and consequences. Publications that were retrieved underwent further assessment to ensure other relevant publications were identified and included. Results A universally accepted definition and grading system for ALs continues to be lacking, leading to variability in reported incidence in the literature. Additional factors add to variability in estimates, including differences in the anastomotic site and institutional/individual differences in operative technique. Various groups have worked to publish guidelines for defining and grading AL, with the International Study Group of Rectal Cancer (ISGRC/ISREC) definition the current most recommended universal definition for colorectal AL. The burden of AL on patients, healthcare providers, and hospitals is well documented in evidence from leak consequences, such as increased morbidity and mortality, higher reoperation rates, and increased readmission rates, among others. Conclusions Colorectal AL remains a significant challenge in intestinal surgery, despite medical advancements. Understanding the progress made in defining and grading leaks, as well as the range of negative outcomes that arise from AL, is crucial in improving patient care, reduce surgical mortality, and drive further advancements in earlier detection and treatment of AL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is a significant health concern. Surgery remains a critical component of the multimodal treatment strategy. The laparoscopic sphincter-preserving total mesorectal excision (TME) is increasingly utilized and effective, offering enhanced quality of life for patients compared to previous traditional methods. OBJECTIVES This study aims to determine the rate of complications and the related factors associated with complications following laparoscopic sphincter-preserving total mesorectal excision for low rectal cancer. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted at the University Medical Center of Ho Chi Minh City from March 2022 to March 2023. It included patients aged 18 years and older diagnosed with low rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic sphincter-preserving total mesorectal excision. Data on patient demographics, surgical details, and postoperative complications were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Follow-ups were conducted up to six months after surgery. RESULTS Of the 83 patients included, the postoperative complications rate was 14.5%. The complications observed included surgical wound infections (five cases), anastomotic leaks (five cases, including three recto-vaginal fistulas and two pelvic abscesses), urinary retention (one case), and pneumonia (one case). A significant finding was the higher rate of distant metastases in patients with complications compared to those without (p=0.033). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic sphincter-preserving total mesorectal excision for low rectal cancer is safe and effective, with a high success rate and low complication rate during or after surgery. Anastomotic leakage remains the most significant complication. Despite advancements in surgery, modern suturing tools, and preoperative patient optimization, complications are avoidable. Therefore, understanding the related factors and implementing preventive interventions is crucial.

Abstract
Purpose Patients with obstructive colorectal cancer managed by emergency surgery show high morbidity, mortality, and stoma formation rates. Decompression modalities, including the self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) and tube drainage (TD), have been used to improve surgical outcomes. However, there have been limited studies comparing the 2 modalities. We performed a meta-analysis on short- and long-term outcomes between SEMS and TD. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were searched. Data were pooled, and the overall effect size was calculated using random effect models. Outcome measures were perioperative short-term and 3-year survival outcomes. Results We included 20 nonrandomized studies that examined 2,047 patients in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed SEMS had better short-term outcomes in clinical success rate, decompression-related complications, laparoscopic surgery rate, stoma formation rate, and postoperative complication rate with a relative risk (RR) of 0.36 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.24-0.54; I2 = 20%), 0.32 (95% CI, 0.20-0.50; I2 = 0%), 0.47 (95% CI, 0.34-0.66; I2 = 87%), 0.34 (95% CI, 0.24-0.49; I2 = 52%), and 0.70 (95% CI, 0.54-0.89, I2 = 28%), respectively. However, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups in 3-year overall survival (RR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.77-1.27; I2 = 0%). Conclusion Although the long-term oncologic impact of SEMS is still unclear compared with TD, the results of this meta-analysis may suggest that SEMS insertion can be performed more successfully and safely and may have benefits for short-term perioperative outcomes compared with TD. Further studies are warranted to provide more definitive survival results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the most common postoperative complications. Glioblastoma multiforme is the most frequent malignant brain tumor with a dismal prognosis despite combined treatment. The effect of SSIs on the course of glioblastoma patients has not been fully clarified since available data are limited and partially contradictory. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of SSIs on the course of patients with glioblastoma. METHODS The medical records of all patients undergoing surgery for glioblastoma between 2010 and 2020 in our institution were scanned and those with surgical site infections after glioblastoma resection were identified and compared to an age-matched control group. Overall survival and progression-free survival were the primary endpoints followed by the number of hospitalizations and the length of stay in hospital. RESULTS Out of 305 patients undergoing surgery for glioblastoma, 38 patients with postoperative surgical site infection after resection were identified and 15 (5 men and 10 women aged between 9 and 72) were included in this study. 23 patients were excluded. The control group consisted of 30 age-matched patients without SSI (18 men and 12 women). There were no significant differences in median overall survival. Progression-free survival was higher in the SSI group. The number of hospitalizations and the length of stay were significantly higher in the SSI group. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that SSIs might reduce early recurrences without affecting overall survival. Furthermore, they might decrease health-related quality of life by doubling the total length of hospital stay.

Abstract
PURPOSE Studies have shown that surgical site infection (SSI) incidence is lower in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, we reported the SSI countermeasures adopted by our institution and aimed to evaluate the association between SSI occurrence and postoperative colorectal cancer recurrence and the usefulness of laparoscopic surgery for prognosis. METHODS Among the patients with colorectal cancer who underwent radical surgery at our hospital between January 2015 and December 2017, 197 with stage I-III cancer without distant metastases were included. We retrospectively analyzed patients' electronic medical records and classified them into the non-SSI (without SSI, n = 159) and SSI (with SSI, n = 38) groups. We calculated and compared the 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates. Additionally, we assessed the relationship between prognosis in the non-SSI, incisional SSI, and organ/space SSI groups and the usefulness of laparoscopic surgery. RESULTS The 5-year RFS and OS were 80.5% versus 63.2% (P = 0.024; hazard ratio [HR], 2.065; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.099-3.883) and 88.7% versus 84.2% (P = 0.443; HR, 1.436; 95% CI, 0.570-3.617), respectively. The SSI group had a significantly worse 5-year RFS prognosis. Regarding the relationship with laparoscopic surgery, the SSI incidence was 45.0% (9/20 cases) and 16.4% (29/177 cases) with laparotomy and laparoscopic surgery, respectively, indicating a significantly reduced SSI occurrence with laparoscopic surgery (P = 0.005). CONCLUSION Patients with SSI were at high risk for colorectal cancer recurrence, and laparoscopic surgery may be useful for reducing SSI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infectious complications after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery increase perioperative mortality and are significantly associated with poor prognosis. We aimed to develop a model for predicting infectious complications after colorectal cancer surgery in elderly patients based on improved machine learning (ML) using inflammatory and nutritional indicators. METHODS The data of 512 elderly patients with colorectal cancer in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from March 2018 to April 2022 were retrospectively collected and randomly divided into a training set and validation set. The optimal cutoff values of NLR (3.80), PLR (238.50), PNI (48.48), LCR (0.52), and LMR (2.46) were determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve; Six conventional machine learning models were constructed using patient data in the training set: Linear Regression, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), BP Neural Network (BP), Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and an improved moderately greedy XGBoost (MGA-XGBoost) model. The performance of the seven models was evaluated by area under the receiver operator characteristic curve, accuracy (ACC), precision, recall, and F1-score of the validation set. RESULTS Five hundred twelve cases were included in this study; 125 cases (24%) had postoperative infectious complications. Postoperative infectious complications were notably associated with 10 items features: American Society of Anesthesiologists scores (ASA), operation time, diabetes, presence of stomy, tumor location, NLR, PLR, PNI, LCR, and LMR. MGA-XGBoost reached the highest AUC (0.862) on the validation set, which was the best model for predicting postoperative infectious complications in elderly patients with colorectal cancer. Among the importance of the internal characteristics of the model, LCR accounted for the highest proportion. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates for the first time that the MGA-XGBoost model with 10 risk factors might predict postoperative infectious complications in elderly CRC patients.

Abstract
AIM To monitor prospectively the occurrence of colorectal anastomotic leakage (CAL) in patients with colon cancer undergoing resectional surgery, characterizing the microbiota in both faeces and mucosal biopsies of anastomosis. In a second stage, we investigated the ability to predict CAL using machine learning models based on clinical data and microbiota composition. METHOD A total of 111 patients were included, from whom a faecal sample was obtained, as well as biopsy samples from proximal and distal sites in the healthy margins of the tumour piece. The microorganisms present in the samples were investigated using microbial culture and 16S rDNA massive sequencing. Collagenase and protease production was determined, as well as the presence of genes responsible for expressing enzymes with these activities. Machine learning analyses were developed using clinical and microbiological data. RESULTS The incidence of CAL was 9.0%, and CAL was associated with collagenase/protease-producing Enterococcus. Significant differences were found in the microbiota composition of proximal and distal biopsy samples, but not in faecal samples, among patients who developed CAL. Clinical predictors of CAL were 5-day C-reactive protein and heart disease, whereas 3-day C-reactive protein and diabetes were negative predictors. CONCLUSION Biopsy samples from surgical margins, rather than faecal samples, are the most appropriate samples for exploring the contribution of the intestinal microbiota to CAL. Enterococci are only enriched in the anastomosis after surgery, and their collagenases and proteases are involved in the degradation of the anastomotic scar.

Delayed-Onset Organ/Space Surgical Site Infection Worsens Prognosis in High-Risk Stage II and III Colorectal Cancer. J Gastrointest Surg 2023; 27:2515-2525. [PMID: 37740145 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-023-05836-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear how early- and delayed-onset organ/space surgical site infections (SSIs) affect the long-term prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer, who are potential candidates for adjuvant chemotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the association between the timing of SSI onset and clinical outcome. METHODS This retrospective, multicenter cohort study evaluated patients who were diagnosed with high-risk stage II or III colorectal cancer and underwent elective surgery between 2010 and 2020. Five-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was the primary endpoint and was compared between early SSI, delayed SSI (divided based on the median date of SSI onset), and non-SSI groups. RESULTS A total of 2,065 patients were included. Organ/space SSI was diagnosed in 91 patients (4.4%), with a median onset of 6 days after surgery. The early-onset SSI group had a higher proportion of patients with Clavien-Dindo grade ≥IIIb SSI than the delayed-onset SSI. Patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) had earlier organ/space SSI onset than those who did not. The adjusted hazard ratio of 5-year RFS in the delayed-onset SSI was 2.58 (95% confidence interval: 1.43-4.65; p = 0.002): higher than that in the early-onset SSI, with the non-SSI as the reference. CONCLUSIONS Delayed-onset organ/space SSI worsened long-term prognosis compared to early-onset, and this may be due to delayed initiation of AC. Patients who are clinically suspected of having lymph node metastasis might need additional intervention to prevent delays in commencing AC due to the delayed SSI.

[PMID: 37894465 PMCID: PMC10605496 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15205098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Naples prognostic score (NPS) is a scoring system that reflects a patient's systemic inflammatory and nutritional status. This study aimed to evaluate whether postoperative NPS is effective in assessing the prognosis of stage II-III colorectal cancer (CRC) patients compared with preoperative NPS. METHODS Between 2005 and 2012, a total of 164 patients diagnosed with stage II-III CRC, who underwent curative resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, were divided into two groups: Group 0-1 (NPS = 0-2) and Group 2 (NPS = 3 or 4). Preoperative NPS was calculated based on the results before surgeries, and postoperative NPS was assessed using the results obtained before adjuvant chemotherapy. RESULTS The overall survival of Group 0-1 was higher than that of Group 2 in both pre- and postoperative NPS assessments. According to the ROC curve analysis, the Area Under the Curve (AUC) ratio for postoperative NPS was 0.64, compared with 0.57 for preoperative NPS, 0.52 for the preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.032), and 0.51 for the preoperative platelet-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative NPS is effective in predicting the prognosis of stage II-III CRC patients who underwent curative resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. The use of NPS could be beneficial in evaluating the prognosis of CRC patients after surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unplanned returns to the operating room (uROR) are associated with worse outcomes including increased complications and length of stay (LOS) in adults. However, the incidence and predictors of uROR for pediatric trauma patients (PTPs) are unknown. This study aimed to identify predictors of uROR for PTPs. METHODS The 2017-2019 Trauma Quality Improvement Program database was queried for PTPs 1-16 years-old to compare patients with uROR to those without uROR. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed. RESULTS From 44 711 PTPs identified, 299 (.7%) underwent uROR. Pediatric trauma patients requiring uROR were older (14 vs 8 years old, P < .001), had a higher rate and associated risk of mortality (8.7% vs 1.4%, P < .001) (OR 6.67, CI 4.43-10.05, P < .001) as well as increased complications including surgical infection (16.4% vs .2%, P < .001) and compartment syndrome (4.7% vs .1%, P < .001). Patients undergoing uROR had increased LOS (18 vs 2 days, P < .001) and intensive care unit LOS (9 vs 3 days, P < .001). Independent associated risk factors for uROR included rectal injury (OR 4.54, CI 2.28-9.04, P < .001), brain injury (OR 3.68, CI 2.71-5.00, P < .001), and gunshot wounds (OR 2.55, CI 1.83-3.56, P < .001). DISCUSSION The incidence of uROR was <1% for PTPs. However, patients requiring uROR had increased LOS and associated risk of death compared to those without uROR. Predictors of uROR included gunshot wounds and injuries to the rectum and brain. Patients with these risk factors should be counseled with efforts made to improve care for these high-risk populations.

Abstract
Aim To compare the oncological outcomes between self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) as a bridge to surgery and transanal decompression tube (TDT) placement for malignant large bowel obstruction (MLBO). Methods A total of 287 MLBO patients who underwent SEMS (n = 137) or TDT placement (n = 150) were enrolled in this multicenter retrospective study. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) between the two groups were compared. A meta-analysis was performed using random-effects models to calculate odd ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results Postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo grade ≥II and ≥III occurred frequently in the TDT group compared with the SEMS group (P = 0.002 and 0.005, respectively). The 3-y OS in the overall cohort and 3-y DFS in the pathological stage II/III cohort in the SEMS and TDT groups were 68.6% and 71.4%, and 71.0% and 72.6%, respectively. The survival differences were not significantly different in the OS and DFS analyses (P = 0.819 and P = 0.892, respectively). A meta-analysis of nine studies (including our cohort data) demonstrated no significant difference between the SEMS and TDT groups for 3-y OS and DFS (OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.57-1.62, P = 0.89 and OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.46-1.04, P = 0.07, respectively). Conclusion Our study demonstrated that SEMS placement had no inferiority regarding long-term outcomes, including OS and DFS, compared with TDT placement. Considering the short-term benefits of SEMS placement, this could be a preferable preoperative decompression method for MLBO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite improved surgical techniques, anastomotic leakage is still a serious complication that can occur after colon cancer resection, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for anastomotic leakage after colon cancer surgery, provide a theoretical basis for reducing its occurrence, and guide the practice of clinicians. METHODS A systematic review of PubMed, Ovid, Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases was conducted by using a combination of subject terms and free words for online searches. The databases were searched from their inception to 31 March 2022, and all cross-sectional, cohort or case‒control studies examining the risk factors for the development of anastomotic fistula after surgery for colon cancer were identified. RESULT A total of 2133 articles were searched for this study, and 16 publications were ultimately included, all of which were cohort studies. A total of 115,462 subjects were included, and a total of 3959 cases of anastomotic leakage occurred postoperatively, with an incidence of 3.4%. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used for evaluation. Male sex (OR = 1.37, 95% CI: 1.29-1.46, P < 0.00001), BMI (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.00-1.08, P = 0.03), diabetes (OR = 2.80, 95% CI: 1.81-4.33, P < 0.00001), combined lung disease (OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.15-1.42, P < 0.00001), anaesthesia ASA score (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.24-1.46, P < 0.00001), ASA class ≥ III (OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.22-1.47, P < 0.00001), emergency surgery (OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.11-1.55, P = 0.001), open surgery (OR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.69-2.24, P < 0.00001) and type of surgical resection (OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.12-1.61, P = 0.002) are risk factors for anastomotic leakage after colon cancer surgery. There is still a lack of strong evidence on whether age (OR = 1.00, 95% CI: 0.99-1.01, P = 0.36) and cardiovascular disease (OR = 1.18, 95% CI: 0.94-1.47, P = 0.16) are factors influencing the occurrence of anastomotic leakage after colon cancer surgery. CONCLUSIONS Male sex, BMI, obesity, coexisting pulmonary disease, anaesthesia ASA score, emergency surgery, open surgery and type of resection were risk factors for anastomotic leakage after colon cancer surgery. The effect of age and cardiovascular disease on postoperative anastomotic leakage in patients with colon cancer needs further study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative anastomotic leakage for rectal cancer shows higher morbidity with grievous concomitant symptoms. Accurate assessment of the incidence of anastomotic leakage, multivariate analysis, and establishment of a scientific prediction model can be useful to dispose of its possible severe clinical consequences. METHODS This retrospective study collected 1995 consecutive patients who underwent anterior resection of rectal cancer with primary anastomosis at Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital between January 2016 and June 2022. Independent risk factors associated with anastomotic leakage were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The chosen independent risk factors were used to construct a nomogram risk prediction model whose availability was evaluated by using a bootstrapped-concordance index and calibration plots with R software. RESULTS A total of 1995 patients who underwent anterior resection for rectal cancer were included while 120 patients were diagnosed with anastomotic leakage, an incidence of 6.0%. Univariate analysis and its concomitant multivariate cox regression analysis indicated that independent risk factors associated with anastomotic leakage included male gender (odds ratio (OR) = 2.873), diabetes (OR = 2.480), neoadjuvant therapy (OR = 5.283), tumor's distance from the anus verge < 5 cm (OR = 5.824), tumor size ≥ 5 cm (OR = 4.888), and the blood lose > 50 mL (OR = 9.606).We established a nomogram prediction model with proper applicability (concordance index, 0.83) and the calibration curve to justify its predictive ability that the predicted occurrence probability keeps a high degree of consistency with the actual occurrence probability. Meanwhile, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.83. CONCLUSIONS The characteristics of patients and tumor surgery-related conditions can affect the incidence of anastomotic leakage. However, whether the surgical method will affect morbidity is still controversial. Our nomogram can be seen as an effective instrument to predict anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer precisely.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term placement of prophylactic drains may result in retrograde infections. AIM To investigate the association between the timing of drain removal and clinical outcomes. METHODS This retrospective, single-centre cohort study evaluated 110 patients who underwent elective gastrointestinal or hepatopancreatobiliary surgery and developed subsequent organ/space surgical site infection (SSI) between 2016 and 2020. The difference between the culture-positive species of prophylactic drains and direct aspiration was evaluated; whether the prophylactic drains functioned effectively at the time of SSI diagnosis; and whether the empirical antibiotics administered before drainage were effective against all the detected bacteria. Finally, clinical outcomes were compared between early (i.e. cases wherein the prophylactic drain had already been removed or replaced at the time of SSI diagnosis) and late (removal after diagnosis) drain removal. FINDINGS The prophylactic drains functioned effectively in only 27 (25%) patients at the time of SSI diagnosis. Due to the results of direct aspiration cultures, 43% of patients required antibiotic escalation. The median time to drain removal or first replacement was seven postoperative days. The early removal group included 43 patients (39%). Compared with early removal, late removal resulted in a higher frequency of vancomycin use (7.0% vs 22.4%; P = 0.037). CONCLUSION Prolonged prophylactic drain placement is associated with complicated infections requiring vancomycin; therefore, the drains should be removed as soon as possible. Additionally, obtaining the cultures of direct aspiration should be actively considered, as escalation of antimicrobial therapy is often performed based on culture results.

Abstract
Background and aim Malnutrition-induced sarcopenia predicts poorer clinical outcomes for patients with cancer. Postoperative complications such as wound infection, anastomotic leak (AL), cardiorespiratory events are the most frequent and devastating postoperative complications in colorectal cancer surgery and are frequently associated with malnutrition. Methods We reviewed the recent available literature to assess the relationship between the patient nutritional status and sarcopenia in colorectal surgery. The PubMed database was searched for publications. The included studies were original articles, prospective and randomized trials, clinical, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The information was structured in a narrative review form. Results A simple method to assess malnutrition is to define the presence of sarcopenia (skeletal muscle mass reduction and modified composition) by radiological image analysis. Quantifying the material composition and quality is a novel method in patient-specific therapy. This could be a new perspective in colorectal surgery to reduce postoperative mortality, improve surgical planning, and enhance clinical outcomes. A few recent studies have objectively investigated the presence of sarcopenia in colorectal cancer and its impact on morbidity and mortality, but sometimes the results are contradictory. Conclusion There is evolving research to find the most appropriate management method, surgeons must be aware of the existence of sarcopenia to identify this risk factor in the occurrence of postoperative complications in colorectal cancer surgery.

Abstract
Aim To investigate the impact of postoperative infection (PI), surgical site infection, and remote infection (RI), on long-term outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods The Japan Society for Surgical Infection conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study involving 1817 curative stage I/II/III CRC patients from April 2013 to March 2015. Patients were divided into the No-PI group and the PI group. We examined the association between PI and oncological outcomes for cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) using Cox proportional hazards models and propensity score matching. Results Two hundred and ninety-nine patients (16.5%) had PIs. The 5-year CSS and OS rates in the No-PI and PI groups were 92.8% and 87.6%, and 87.4% and 83.8%, respectively. Both the Cox proportional hazards models and propensity score matching demonstrated a significantly worse prognosis in the PI group than that in the No-PI group for CSS (hazard ratio: 1.60; 95% confidence interval: 1.10-2.34; P = .015 and P = .031, respectively) but not for OS. RI and the PI severity were not associated with oncological outcomes. The presence of PI abolished the survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusions These results suggest that PI after curative CRC surgery is associated with impaired oncological outcomes. This survival disadvantage of PI was primarily derived from surgical site infection, not RI, and PI induced lower efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy. Strategies to prevent PI and implement appropriate postoperative treatment may improve the quality of care and oncological outcomes in patients undergoing curative CRC surgery.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of enteral immunonutrition (EIN) in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery remains debatable. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effectiveness of EIN administration in patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. Methods From January 2000 to January 2022, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were thoroughly searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with EIN versus standard diet or no supplement in patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. Overall complications and infectious complications were the primary outcomes. The secondary results were non-infectious complications, mortality, length of hospital stay, and enteral nutrition-related complications. Results Thirty-five studies reporting 3,692 patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer (including gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, periampullary cancer, or pancreatic cancer) were included. Compared with the control group, EIN group had a significantly decreased incidence of overall complications (RR = 0.79, p < 0.001). Infectious complications in patients who received EIN were considerably lower than in the control group (RR = 0.66, p < 0.001). Compared to the control group, the incidence of surgical site infection, abdominal abscess, anastomotic leakage, bacteremia, duration of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and duration of antibiotic therapy was significantly lower in the specific infectious complications treated with EIN. Still, there was no significant difference between the two groups with other infectious complications. Moreover, a substantial shortening in the length of hospital stay was shown in EIN group compared with the control group. Still, no significant effect of EIN was demonstrated in non-infectious complicatios and mortality. The enteral nutrition-related complications had no significant difference between two groups. Conclusions EIN is safe and effective in reducing overall complications, infectious complications, and hospital stay in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery (including gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, periampullary cancer, or pancreatic cancer).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postoperative infection of hepatopancreatobiliary cancer (HPBC) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Probiotics and synbiotics are potential prevention strategies, but evidence on the efficacy of probiotics or synbiotics in the prevention of postoperative infection for HPBC remains controversial. This study aimed to define the impact of probiotics or synbiotics on the incidence of postoperative infection in HPBC patients. METHODS A systematic search of the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases was conducted from inception to February 2, 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of probiotics or synbiotics in HPBC. Data were pooled and expressed as the risk ratio (RR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Eight RCTs involving 445 participants were included. Supplementation with probiotics or synbiotics significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative infection (RR 0.55) in HPBC patients, and both probiotics (RR 0.68) and synbiotics (RR 0.41) were effective in reducing the incidence of postoperative infection. In addition, probiotics or synbiotics can reduce duration of antibiotic use (MD -3.52) and length of hospital stay (MD -4.21). CONCLUSION Probiotics or synbiotics are effective strategies for the prevention of postoperative infection in HPBC patients.

Abstract
Sarcopenia was initially described as a decrease in muscle mass associated with aging and subsequently also as a consequence of underlying disease, including advanced malignancy. Accumulating evidence shows that sarcopenia has clinically significant effects in patients with malignancy, including an increased risk of adverse events associated with medical treatment, postoperative complications, and a poor survival outcome. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and several lines of evidence suggest that preoperative sarcopenia negatively impacts various outcomes in patients with CRC. In this review, we summarize the current evidence in this field and the clinical relevance of sarcopenia in patients with CRC from three standpoints, namely, the adverse effects of medical treatment, postoperative infectious complications, and oncological outcomes.

Perioperative oral care can prevent surgical site infection after colorectal cancer surgery: A multicenter, retrospective study of 1,926 cases analyzed by propensity score matching. Surgery 2022; 172:530-536. [PMID: 35396104 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2022.02.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2021] [Revised: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infection is a common postoperative complication of colorectal cancer surgery, and surgical site infection increases medical costs, prolongs hospitalization, and worsens long-term prognosis. Perioperative oral care has been reported to be effective in preventing postoperative pneumonia, although there are only a few reports on its effectiveness in preventing surgical site infection. This study aimed to determine the role of perioperative oral care in surgical site infection prevention after colorectal cancer surgery. METHODS In this study, 1,926 patients with colorectal cancer from 8 institutions were enrolled; 808 patients (oral care group) received perioperative oral care at the hospital's dental clinic, and 1,118 (control group) did not receive perioperative oral care. The data were matched by propensity score to reduce bias. Ultimately, a total of 1,480 patients were included in the analysis. RESULTS The incidence of surgical site infection was significantly lower in the oral care group than in the control group (8.4% vs 15.7%, P < .001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed 4 independent risk factors for surgical site infection: low albumin level, rectal cancer, blood loss, and lack of perioperative oral care. Lack of perioperative oral care had an odds ratio of 2.100 (95% confidence interval 1.510-2.930, P < .001). CONCLUSION These results suggest that perioperative oral care can reduce the incidence of surgical site infection after colorectal cancer resection. Perioperative oral care may have an important role in the future perioperative management of colorectal cancer as a safe and effective method of surgical site infection prevention, although further validation in prospective studies is needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE The contribution of postoperative coagulation-fibrinolysis status to prognosis is yet to be fully investigated. Thus, in this study, we aimed to elucidate the relationship between postoperative hypercoagulable state (PHS) after transthoracic esophagectomy and long-term outcome in patients with esophageal cancer. METHODS Patients with esophageal cancer who underwent transthoracic esophagectomy were selected from a prospectively maintained database. Based on the trend of postoperative plasma fibrin-fibrinogen degradation product (FDP) levels, patients with PHS were identified. The prognostic significance of PHS was evaluated via multivariate analysis using the Cox regression model. RESULTS Based on the plasma FDP levels of 172 patients that reached a plateau between POD5 and POD7, we calculated the mean FDP value of POD5, 6, and 7, setting a median value as a cutoff. Consequently, 87 patients were classified as PHS. The overall survival (OS) in the PHS group was determined to be significantly lower than in the non-PHS group (5-year OS; 68% and 80%, p = 0.012). Recurrence-free survival (RFS) in the PHS group was significantly lower than in the non-PHS group (5-year RFS; 60% and 79%, p = 0.017). Using the pathological stage as a covariate in the multivariate analysis, PHS was an independent prognostic factor of OS [hazard ratio (HR) 2.517, p = 0.009] and RFS (HR 1.905, p = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS PHS was found to be an independent negative prognostic factor in patients with esophageal cancer. Possible improvement of the oncological outcome by early postoperative intervention with anticoagulants should be explored in clinical trials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgery for colorectal cancer is associated with post-operative morbidity and mortality. Multiple systematic reviews have reported on individual factors affecting short-term outcome following surgical resection. This umbrella review aims to synthesize the available evidence on host and other factors associated with short-term post-operative complications. METHODS A comprehensive search identified systematic reviews reporting on short-term outcomes following colorectal cancer surgery using PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Web of Science from inception to 8th September 2020. All reported clinicopathological variables were extracted from published systematic reviews. RESULTS The present overview identified multiple validated factors affecting short-term outcomes in patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection. In particular, factors consistently associated with post-operative outcome differed with the type of complication; infective, non-infective or mortality. A minimum dataset was identified for future studies and included pre-operative age, sex, diabetes status, body mass index, body composition (sarcopenia, visceral obesity) and functional status (ASA, frailty). A recommended dataset included antibiotic prophylaxis, iron therapy, blood transfusion, erythropoietin, steroid use, enhance recovery programme and finally potential dataset included measures of the systemic inflammatory response CONCLUSION: A minimum dataset of mandatory, recommended, and potential baseline variables to be included in studies of patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection is proposed. This will maximise the benefit of such study datasets.

Abstract
Objective Neoadjuvant radiotherapy (nRT) is an important treatment approach for rectal cancer. The relationship, however, between nRT and postoperative complications is still controversial. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate such concerns. Methods The electronic literature from 1983 to 2021 was searched in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. Postoperative complications after nRT were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled odds ratio (OR) was calculated by the random-effects model. Statistical analysis was conducted by Review Manager 5.3 and STATA 14. Results A total of 23,723 patients from 49 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that nRT increased the risk of anastomotic leakage (AL) compared to upfront surgery (OR = 1.23; 95% CI, 1.07-1.41; p=0.004). Subgroup analysis suggested that both long-course (OR = 1.20, 95% CI 1.03-1.40; p=0.02) and short-course radiotherapy (OR = 1.25, 95% CI, 1.02-1.53; p=0.04) increased the incidence of AL. In addition, nRT was the main risk factor for wound infection and pelvic abscess. The pooled data in randomized controlled trials, however, indicated that nRT was not associated with AL (OR = 1.01; 95% CI 0.82-1.26; p=0.91). Conclusions nRT may increase the risk of AL, wound infection, and pelvic abscess compared to upfront surgery among patients with rectal cancer.

Abstract
Background Organ/space surgical site infection (SSI) is a significant clinical problem. The postdiagnosis course of organ/space SSIs and the impact of its early diagnosis on clinical outcomes are yet to be clarified. Thus, we aimed to investigate the association between the timing of diagnosis and the clinical outcome of organ/space SSI. Methods This retrospective, single‐center cohort study evaluated patients who underwent elective gastrointestinal or hepatopancreatobiliary surgery between 2016 and 2020. Clinical outcomes were compared between the early group (ie, SSI diagnosed until postoperative day [POD] 4) and normal‐late group (ie, SSI diagnosed after POD 5). The primary outcome was the final C‐reactive protein (CRP) level within 14 d after organ/space SSI diagnosis. Results In total, 110 patients were evaluated. The median time of diagnosis was 7 d postoperatively (interquartile range, 5–9 d postoperatively). Compared with the normal‐late group, the early group included a higher proportion of patients with Clavien–Dindo grade ≥IIIb (8/21 vs 11/89, P = .01), higher final CRP value within 14 d after SSI diagnosis (mean, 4.49 mg/dL vs 2.27 mg/dL, P = .01), longer postoperative length of hospitalization (median, 45.0 d vs 33.0 d; P = .028), and worse 1‐y overall survival rate (74.8% vs 89.3%, P = .08). Conclusion Early diagnosed organ/space SSI are originally severe and may therefore be detected earlier. Importantly, early diagnosed organ/space SSI is likely to be severe and refractory.

Abstract
Anastomotic leakage is a potentially severe complication occurring after colorectal surgery and can lead to increased morbidity and mortality, permanent stoma formation, and cancer recurrence. Multiple risk factors for anastomotic leak have been identified, and these can allow for better prevention and an earlier diagnosis of this significant complication. There are nonmodifiable factors such as male gender, comorbidities and distance of tumor from anal verge, and modifiable risk factors, including smoking and alcohol consumption, obesity, preoperative radiotherapy and preoperative use of steroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Perioperative blood transfusion was shown to be an important risk factor for anastomotic failure. Recent studies on the laparoscopic approach in colorectal surgery found no statistical difference in anastomotic leakage rate compared with open surgery. A diverting stoma at the time of primary surgery does not appear to reduce the leak rate but may reduce its clinical consequences and the need for additional surgery if anastomotic leakage does occur. It is still debatable if preoperative bowel preparation should be used, especially for left colon and rectal resections, but studies have shown similar incidence of postoperative leak rate.

Abstract
AIM Predicting intra-abdominal infections (IAI) after colorectal surgery by means of clinical signs is challenging. A naïve logistic regression modeling approach has some limitations, for which reason we study two potential alternatives: the use of Bayesian networks, and that of logistic regression model. METHODS Data from patients that had undergone colorectal procedures between 2010 and 2017 were used. The dataset was split into two subsets: (i) that for training the models and (ii) that for testing them. The predictive ability of the models proposed was tested (i) by comparing the ROC curves from days 1 and 3 with all the subjects in the test set and (ii) by studying the evolution of the abovementioned predictive ability from day 1 to day 5. RESULTS In day 3, the predictive ability of the logistic regression model achieved an AUC of 0.812, 95% CI = (0.746, 0.877), whereas that of the Bayesian network was 0.768, 95% CI = (0.695, 0.840), with a p-value for their comparison of 0.097. The ability of the Bayesian network model to predict IAI does present significant difference in predictive ability from days 3 to 5: AUC(Day 3) = 0.761, 95% CI = (0.680, 0.841) and AUC(Day 5) = 0.837, 95% CI = (0.769, 0.904), with a p-value for their comparison of 0.006. CONCLUSIONS Whereas at postoperative day 3, a logistic regression model with imputed data should be used to predict IAI; at day 5, when the predictive ability is almost identical, the Bayesian network model should be used.

Short-term and long-term outcomes after laparoscopic surgery for elderly patients with colorectal cancer aged over 80 years: a propensity score matching analysis. Int J Colorectal Dis 2021; 36:2519-2528.

Abstract
PURPOSE There has been an increase in the percentage of elderly patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). However, few studies have reported the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for elderly patients with CRC aged over 80 years. METHODS This study included 529 patients who underwent laparoscopic resection for clinical stage 0-III CRC at Kobe University Hospital between January 2010 and December 2018. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to create balanced cohorts of the elderly (aged ≥ 80, n = 113) and the non-elderly (aged < 80, n = 113). Their clinical outcomes were compared after PSM. RESULTS After matching, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level was higher in the non-elderly group, and adjuvant chemotherapy was less frequently employed in the elderly group. D3 dissection was performed more frequently and the number of the harvested lymph nodes tended to be larger in the non-elderly group. There was no significant difference in the rates of postoperative complications, reoperation within 30 days, and 30-day mortality between the groups. The 5-year relapse-free survival rate was not statistically different between the two groups (77.3% for the non-elderly vs. 62.7% for the elderly, p = 0.13). The multivariate analyses for the whole cohort showed that the factors of sex, tumor location, operation time, and conversion to open surgery, but not the age, were significant predictors of postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer patients aged over 80 years is technically and oncologically safe.

Abstract
Introducción. El pilar fundamental del tratamiento del cáncer colorrectal es la cirugía, situación que expone a los pacientes a la posible presentación de complicaciones, morbimortalidad, pobre calidad de vida, recurrencia tumoral o la muerte. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las variables clínicas y quirúrgicas que inciden en el riesgo de la aparición de complicaciones en los pacientes con cáncer colorrectal llevados a cirugía electiva entre los años 2016 y 2019.
Métodos. Estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal y retrospectivo. Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años con cáncer colorrectal sometidos a cirugía electiva. Se realizó un análisis multivariado para determinar los factores que se relacionan con las complicaciones postquirúrgicas.
Resultados. Se incluyeron 298 pacientes, 68 % mayores de 60 años, 52,3 % mujeres, 74,2 % presentaban comorbilidades y 48,3 % fueron diagnosticados en estadio III. El 48,3 % presentó complicaciones postoperatorias. De ellos, el 68,1 % no tenía tamización nutricional y el 61,8 % no tenía preparación del colon; un 55 % fueron cirugías del recto, 69,1 % de las cirugías fueron por vía laparoscópica y 71,8 % presentaron sangrado inferior a 500 ml. La mayoría de las complicaciones fueron clasificadas como Clavien-Dindo I-III.
Discusión. Las características de los pacientes fueron similares a los presentados en otros estudios, aunque hubo mayor incidencia de íleo postoperatorio. El análisis multivariado mostró una mayor probabilidad de presentar una complicación en pacientes con diabetes mellitus, hipertensión arterial, falta de tamización nutricional o preparación de colon, cirugía de recto y el sangrado mayor a 500 ml.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common complications after gastrointestinal surgery, with a reported incidence of approximately 10%-25%, which is higher than the rates after other types of surgery. Intraoperative wound irrigation (IOWI) is a simple intervention for SSI prevention, and recent studies have reported that IOWI with aqueous povidone-iodine (PVP-I) is significantly more effective at reducing the incidence of SSI than saline. However, the evidence level of previous trials evaluating the efficacy of aqueous PVP-I solution for preventing SSI has been low. METHODS AND ANALYSES We propose a single-institute, prospective, randomised, blinded-endpoint trial to assess the superiority of IOWI with aqueous 10% PVP-I solution compared with normal saline for reducing SSI in clean-contaminated wounds after elective gastrointestinal surgery. In the study group, IOWI with 40 mL of aqueous 10% PVP-I solution is performed for 1 min before skin suture, and in the control group, IOWI with 100 mL of saline is performed for 1 min before skin suture. We hypothesise that IOWI with aqueous 10% PVP-I solution will achieve a 50% reduction in the incidence of SSIs. The target number of cases is set at 950. The primary outcome is the incidence of incisional SSI up to postoperative day 30 and will be analysed in the modified intention-to-treat set. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This trial was designed and is being conducted by Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, with approval from the Bioethics Committee for Clinical Research, Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University. Participant recruitment began in June 2019. The final results will be reported in international peer-reviewed journals immediately after trial completion. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000036889.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Wound Bundles in Emergency Midline Laparotomy Identifies That It Is Time for Improvement. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11020138. [PMID: 33670186 PMCID: PMC7916918 DOI: 10.3390/life11020138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2020] [Revised: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 02/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Emergency midline laparotomy is the cornerstone of survival in patients with peritonitis. While bundling of care elements has been shown to optimize outcomes, this has focused on elective rather than emergency abdominal surgery. The aim of this study was to undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis of factors affecting the development of surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing midline emergency laparotomy. METHODS An ethically approved, PROSPERO registered (ID: CRD42020193246) meta-analysis and systematic review, searching PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library electronic databases from January 2015 to June 2020 and adhering to PRISMA guidelines was undertaken. Search headings included "emergency surgery", "laparotomy", "surgical site infection", "midline incision" and "wound bundle". Suitable publications were graded using Methodological Index for Non-Randomised Studies (MINORS); papers scoring ≥16/24 were included for data analysis. The primary outcome in this study was SSI rates following the use of wound bundles. Secondary outcomes consisted of the effect of the individual interventions included in the bundles and the SSI rates for superficial and deep infections. Five studies focusing on closure techniques were grouped to assess their effect on SSI. RESULTS This study identified 1875 articles. A total of 58 were potentially suitable, and 11 were included after applying MINORS score. The final cohort included 2,856 patients from eight countries. Three papers came from the USA, two papers from Japan and the remainder from Denmark, England, Iran, Netherlands, Spain and Turkey. There was a 32% non-significant SSI reduction after the implementation of wound bundles (RR = 0.68; CI, 0.39-1.17; p = 0.16). In bundles used for technical closure the reduction in SSI of 15% was non-significant (RR = 0.85; CI, 0.57-1.26; p = 0.41). Analysis of an effective wound bundle was limited due to insufficient data. CONCLUSIONS This study identified a significant deficit in the world literature relating to emergency laparotomy and wound outcome optimisation. Given the global burden of emergency general surgery urgent action is needed to assess bundle's ability to potentially improve outcome after emergency laparotomy.
