Abstract
Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between pre-operative body mass index (BMI) and surgical infection in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) patients treated with curative resection. Methods: Consecutive pCCA patients were enrolled from four tertiary hospitals between 2008 and 2022. According to pre-operative BMI, the patients were divided into three groups: low BMI (≤18.4 kg/m2), normal BMI (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), and high BMI (≥25.0 kg/m2). The incidence of surgical infection among the three groups was compared. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine the independent risk factors associated with surgical infection. Results: A total of 371 patients were enrolled, including 283 patients (76.3%) in the normal BMI group, 30 patients (8.1%) in the low BMI group, and 58 patients (15.6%) in the high BMI group. The incidence of surgical infection was significantly higher in the patients in the low BMI and high BMI groups than in the normal BMI group. The multivariable logistic regression model showed that low BMI and high BMI were independently associated with the occurrence of surgical infection. Conclusions: The pCCA patients with a normal BMI treated with curative resection could have a lower risk of surgical infection than pCCA patients with an abnormal BMI.

Abstract
It is generally recognized that the initiation of obesity-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is closely associated with hepatic inflammation. However, the paradoxical role of inflammation in the initiation and progression of HCC is highlighted by the fact that the inflammatory HCC is accompanied by significant immune effector cells infiltration compared to non-inflammatory HCC and HCC with enhanced immune response exhibits better survival. Importantly, the cancer progression has been primarily attributed to the immunosuppression, which can also be induced by obesity. Furthermore, the increased risk of viral infection and thus viral-HCC in obese individuals supports the view that obesity contributes to HCC via immunosuppression. Here, we have reviewed the various mechanisms responsible for obesity-induced tumor immune microenvironment and immunosuppression in obesity-related HCC. We highlight that the obesity-induced immunosuppression originates from lipid disorder as well as metabolic reprogramming and propose potential therapeutic strategy for HCC based on the current success of immunotherapy.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15020488. [PMID: 36672437 PMCID: PMC9856586 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15020488] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is widely accepted in the surgical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through international consensus conferences and the development of difficulty classifications. LLR has been reported to result in earlier postoperative recovery and fewer postoperative complications than open liver resection (OLR) for HCC. However, the prevalence of liver cirrhosis, obesity, the elderly, HCC recurrence (repeat liver resection), and major resection must be considered for LLR for HCC. Some systematic reviews, meta-analysis studies, and large cohort studies indicated that LLR is technically feasible for selected patients with HCC with these factors that led to less intraoperative blood loss, fewer transfusions and postoperative complication incidences, and shorter hospital stays than OLR. Furthermore, some reported LLR prevents postoperative loss of independence. No difference was reported in long-term outcomes among patients with HCC who underwent LLR and OLR; however, some recent reports indicated better long-term outcomes with LLR. In recent years, robot-assisted liver resection (RALR) has gradually become popular, and its short- and long-term results for HCC are not different from those of LLR. Additionally, RALR is expected to become the mainstay of minimally invasive surgery in the future.

Suh SW. Influence of Obesity and Fluid Balance on Operative Outcomes in Hepatic Resection. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12111897. [PMID: 36422073 PMCID: PMC9697323 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12111897] [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: 10/23/2022] [Revised: 11/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
As the number of obese patients requiring hepatic resection is increasing, efforts to understand their operative risk and determine proper perioperative management are necessary. A total of 175 patients who underwent hepatic resection between March 2015 and July 2021 were evaluated. The patients were divided into two groups by their body mass index (BMI) using the World Health Organization definition of obesity for Asians: obese patients (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, n = 84) and non-obese patients (BMI < 25 kg/m2, n = 91). The operative duration (195.7 ± 62.9 min vs. 176.0 ± 53.6 min, p = 0.027) was longer and related to a higher estimated blood loss (EBL) ≥ 500 mL (61.9% vs. 40.7%, p = 0.005) in the obese patients than in the non-obese patients. Obesity (odds ratio (OR), 2.204; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.177−4.129; p = 0.014) and central venous pressure (CVP) ≥ 5 (OR, 2.733; 95% CI, 1.445−5.170; p = 0.002) at the start of the surgery were significant risk factors for EBL ≥ 500 mL. Obese patients with low CVP showed significantly lower EBL than those with high CVP, but a similar EBL to non-obese patients (p = 0.003). In conclusion, fluid restriction before hepatic resection would be important, especially in obese patients, to improve their operative outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessment of quality in the perioperative period is critical to ensure good patient care. Textbook outcomes (TO) have been proposed to combine several parameters into a single defined quality metric. The association of preoperative body mass index (BMI) with incidences of achieving or not achieving TO (non-TO) among patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was characterized. METHODS Patients who underwent curative-intent hepatectomy for HCC between 2015 and 2018 were identified from a multicenter database. These patients were divided into three groups based on preoperative BMI: low-BMI (≤ 18.4 kg/m2), normal-BMI (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), and high-BMI (≥ 25.0 kg/m2). The incidences of non-TO among these three groups were compared. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify whether there was any independent association between preoperative BMI and non-TO. RESULTS Among 1206 patients, 100 (8.3%), 660 (54.7%), and 446 (37.0%) were in the low-BMI, normal-BMI, and high-BMI groups, respectively. The incidence of non-TO was 65.6% in the whole cohort. The incidence of non-TO was significantly higher among patients in the low- and high-BMI cohorts versus the normal-BMI cohort (75.0% and 74.7% versus 58.0%, both P < 0.01). After adjustment of other confounding factors on multivariate analysis, low-BMI and high-BMI were independently associated with higher incidences of non-TO compared with normal-BMI (OR: 1.98 and 2.27, both P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Two out of three patients did not achieve TO after hepatectomy for HCC. Both preoperative low-BMI and high-BMI were independently associated with lower odds to achieve optimal TO following HCC resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Long-term outcomes after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have been poorly studied. We aim to determine the outcomes after multibipolar RFA in these patients compared to other aetiologies as well as the prognostic impact of metabolic syndrome (MS). METHODS Patients who underwent multibipolar RFA as the first treatment for HCC within Milan criteria (2008-2018) were enrolled in this multicentre retrospective cohort from four tertiary centres in France. The association of MS and NAFLD with adverse events and outcomes after percutaneous RFA were assessed using Kaplan Meier method, log-rank test and uni/multivariate analysis with the Cox models. RESULTS Among 520 patients, 390 patients (75%) had at least one component of MS including obesity (30%) and 95% had cirrhosis. Sixty-two patients (12.6%) had NAFLD-HCC, 225 (45.5%) had alcohol-related-HCC, 36 (7.3%) had HBV-HCC and 171 (34.6%) had HCV-HCC. Patients with NAFLD-HCC were significantly older (median age 72.6 years, P < .001), more obese (median BMI 30.3 kg/m2 , P < .001) and had more components of MS. Patients with NAFLD-HCC achieved a median overall survival (OS) of 79 months (1-year, 3-year and 5-year OS of 90%, 71% and 59%). There were no differences in morbidity, tumour recurrence and OS among patients with NAFLD-HCC vs other aetiologies as well as no prognostic impact of metabolic components. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous multibipolar RFA is an efficient treatment in HCC patients with NAFLD or metabolic syndrome and achieved similar long-term oncological outcomes compared to other aetiologies.

[PMID: 35317056 PMCID: PMC8908289 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v28.i9.948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Revised: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 01/29/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative morbidity after curative resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) is common; however, whether it has an impact on oncological prognosis is unknown.
AIM To evaluate the influence of postoperative morbidity on tumor recurrence and mortality after curative resection for HCCA.
METHODS Patients with recently diagnosed HCCA who had undergone curative resection between January 2010 and December 2017 at The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University in China were enrolled. The independent risk factors for morbidity in the 30 d after surgery were investigated, and links between postoperative morbidity and patient characteristics and outcomes were assessed. Postoperative morbidities were divided into five grades based on the Clavien-Dindo classification, and major morbidities were defined as Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate the risk factors for recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).
RESULTS Postoperative morbidity occurred in 146 out of 239 patients (61.1%). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that cirrhosis, intraoperative blood loss > 500 mL, diabetes mellitus, and obesity were independent risk factors. Postoperative morbidity was associated with decreased OS and RFS (OS: 18.0 mo vs 31.0 mo, respectively, P = 0.003; RFS: 16.0 mo vs 26.0 mo, respectively, P = 0.002). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that postoperative morbidity was independently associated with decreased OS [hazard ratios (HR): 1.557, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.119-2.167, P = 0.009] and RFS (HR: 1.535, 95%CI: 1.117-2.108, P = 0.008). Moreover, major morbidity was independently associated with decreased OS (HR: 2.175; 95%CI: 1.470-3.216, P < 0.001) and RFS (HR: 2.054; 95%CI: 1.400-3.014, P < 0.001) after curative resection for HCCA.
CONCLUSION Postoperative morbidity (especially major morbidity) may be an independent risk factor for unfavorable prognosis in HCCA patients following curative resection.

Superiority of laparoscopic liver resection to open liver resection in obese individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma: A retrospective study. Ann Gastroenterol Surg 2022; 6:135-148. [PMID: 35106424 PMCID: PMC8786695 DOI: 10.1002/ags3.12506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2021] [Revised: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM This study aimed to elucidate the effects of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) vs open liver resection (OLR) for major complications (Clavien-Dindo classification grade ≥ IIIa) in obese individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS The clinical records of 339 and 733 patients who underwent LLR and OLR, respectively, for HCC between 2000 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Body mass index (BMI) groups were classified according to the definitions of the World Health Organization: underweight group, BMI ≤ 18.4 kg/m2 (LLR vs OLR: 27 vs 47); normal weight, BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 (211 vs 483); overweight, BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m2 (85 vs 181); and obese, BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m2 (16 vs 22). The effects of obesity on major complications after LLR and OLR were investigated. RESULTS In total, 18 (5.3%) and 127 (17.3%) patients presented with major complications after LLR and OLR, respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of major complications after OLR in the four BMI groups. However, a stepwise decrease in the incidence of major complications after LLR was observed from the underweight to the obese group. In addition, a multivariate analysis revealed that increased BMI was an independent preventive factor for major complications after LLR (P = .026, odds ratio: 0.84). The estimated adjusted risk of major postoperative complications decreased with increased BMI in the LLR group, while the risk did not decrease in the OLR group (P for interaction = .048). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic liver resection is beneficial for obese patients and is superior to OLR.

Impact of Metabolic Syndrome on Postoperative Outcomes Among Medicare Beneficiaries Undergoing Hepatectomy. J Gastrointest Surg 2021; 25:2545-2552. [PMID: 33547584 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-021-04926-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2020] [Accepted: 01/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The impact of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on postoperative outcomes following liver surgery is not well studied. The objective of the current study was to examine the association of MetS with individual perioperative outcomes, as well as the composite "textbook outcome" (TO) following liver resection for both benign and malignant indications. METHODS The Medicare 100% Standard Analytic Files were reviewed to identify Medicare beneficiaries who underwent hepatectomy between 2013 and 2017. The impact of MetS on complications, length of stay (LOS), 90-day readmission, 90-day mortality, and TO following hepatectomy was investigated. RESULTS Among 13,898 patients who underwent hepatectomy, 2491 (17.9%) had MetS while 11,407 (82.1%) did not. Patients with MetS were more often male (59.1% vs 48.5%), Black (8.5% vs 6.6%), and had a diagnosis of cancer (69.9% vs 65.1%) (all p<0.001). On multivariable analysis, patients with MetS had higher odds of complications (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.28-1.55), 90-day readmission (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.15-1.40), and 90-day mortality (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.13-1.54). In turn, patients with MetS had markedly lower odds of TO following hepatectomy compared with non-MetS patients (OR=0.76, 95% CI 0.70-0.83). Of note, patients with MetS had lower odds of TO after both minimally invasive (OR=0.59, 95% CI 0.43-0.81) and open (OR=0.75, 95% CI 0.68-0.82) liver surgery. Individuals with MetS also had a higher overall expenditure during the index hospitalization compared with non-MetS patients ($19.9k USD vs. $18.8k USD, p<0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with MetS had increased morbidity and mortality, as well as lower likelihood to achieve a TO following liver resection. MetS increased the operative risk and overall Medicare expenditures associated with hepatic resection.

Outcomes after curative therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a meta-analysis and review of current literature. HPB (Oxford) 2021; 23:1164-1174. [PMID: 33608215 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2021.01.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2020] [Revised: 12/02/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the outcomes of curative therapy (resection, transplantation, ablation) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) arising from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-NAFLD etiologies. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library was conducted for studies comparing survival, peri- and post-operative outcomes. Quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. RESULTS Findings for 5579 patients were pooled across 9 studies and examined. Analysis demonstrated improved disease-free survival (DFS; HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.74-0.98, p = 0.03) and overall survival (OS; HR 0.87; 95% CI 0.81-0.93; p < 0.0001) in NAFLD-HCC patients undergoing liver resection as compared to non-NAFLD HCC patients. NAFLD-HCC patients undergoing all forms of curative therapy were similarly associated with improved OS (HR 0.96; 95% CI 0.86-1.06; p = 0.40) and DFS (HR 0.85; 95% CI 0.74-0.98; p = 0.03), albeit results being significant only for DFS. Only 2 studies reported higher rates of peri- and post-operative complications in patients with NAFLD-HCC. Significant inter-study heterogeneity precluded further analysis. CONCLUSION NAFLD-HCC patients can enjoy long-term survival benefit with aggressive curative therapy. Peri- and post-operative morbidity should be mitigated with pre-operative optimization of comorbidities, and deliberately close post-operative monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this analysis was to determine whether optimal outcomes have increased in recent years. Hepatic surgery is high risk, but regionalization and minimally invasive approaches have evolved. Best practices also have been defined with the goal of improving outcomes. METHODS The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried. Analyses were performed separately for partial (≤2 segments), major (≥3 segments), and all hepatectomies. Optimal hepatic surgery was defined as the absence of mortality, serious morbidity, need for a postoperative invasive procedure or reoperation, prolonged length of stay (<75th percentile) or readmission. Tests of trend, χ2, and multivariable analyses were performed. RESULTS From 2014 to 2018, 17,082 hepatectomies, including 11,862 partial hepatectomies and 5,220 major hepatectomies, were analyzed. Minimally invasive approaches increased from 25.6% in 2014 to 29.6% in 2018 (P < .01) and were performed more frequently for partial hepatectomies (34.2%) than major hepatectomies (14.4%) (P < .01). Operative time decreased from 220 minutes in 2014 to 208 minutes in 2018 (P < .05) and was lower in partial hepatectomies (189 vs 258 minutes for major hepatectomies) (P < .01). Mortality (0.7%) and length of stay (4 days) were lower for partial hepatectomies compared with major hepatectomies (1.9%; 6 days), and length of stay decreased for both partial hepatectomies (5 days in 2014 to 4 days in 2018) and major hepatectomies (6 days in 2014 to 6 days in 2018) (all P < .01). Postoperative sepsis (2.9% in 2014 and 2.4% in 2018), bile leaks (6% in 2014 and 4.8% in 2018), and liver failure (3.7% in 2014 and 3.3% in 2018) decreased for all patients (<.05). On multivariable analyses, overall morbidity decreased for major hepatectomies (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.91-0.99) and all hepatectomies (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.94-0.99, both P < .01), and optimal hepatic surgery increased over time for partial hepatectomies (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02-1.09) and all hepatectomies (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.07, both P < .01). CONCLUSION Over a 5-year period in North America, minimally invasive hepatectomies have increased, while operative time, postoperative sepsis, bile leaks, liver failure, and prolonged length of stay have decreased. Optimal hepatic surgery has increased for partial and all hepatectomies and is achieved more often in partial than in major resections.

Hepatectomy for Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) related HCC: Propensity case-matched analysis with viral- and alcohol-related HCC. Eur J Surg Oncol 2021; 48:103-112. [PMID: 34325939 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2021.07.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2021] [Revised: 07/08/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We investigated the clinical impact of the newly defined metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in patients undergoing hepatectomy for HCC (MAFLD-HCC) comparing the characteristics and outcomes of patients with MAFLD-HCC to viral- and alcoholic-related HCC (HCV-HCC, HBV-HCC, A-HCC). METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients included in the He.RC.O.Le.S. Group registry was performed. The characteristics, short- and long-term outcomes of 1315 patients included were compared according to the study group before and after an exact propensity score match (PSM). RESULTS Among the whole study population, 264 (20.1%) had MAFLD-HCC, 205 (15.6%) had HBV-HCC, 671 (51.0%) had HCV-HCC and 175 (13.3%) had A-HCC. MAFLD-HCC patients had higher BMI (p < 0.001), Charlson Comorbidities Index (p < 0.001), size of tumour (p < 0.001), and presence of cirrhosis (p < 0.001). After PSM, the 90-day mortality and severe morbidity rates were 5.9% and 7.1% in MAFLD-HCC, 2.3% and 7.1% in HBV-HCC, 3.5% and 11.7% in HCV-HCC, and 1.2% and 8.2% in A-HCC (p = 0.061 and p = 0.447, respectively). The 5-year OS and RFS rates were 54.4% and 37.1% in MAFLD-HCC, 64.9% and 32.2% in HBV-HCC, 53.4% and 24.7% in HCV-HCC and 62.0% and 37.8% in A-HCC (p = 0.345 and p = 0.389, respectively). Cirrhosis, multiple tumours, size and satellitosis seems to be the independent predictors of OS. CONCLUSION Hepatectomy for MAFLD-HCC seems to have a higher but acceptable operative risk. However, long-term outcomes seems to be related to clinical and pathological factors rather than aetiological risk factors.

Predictors of complications after liver surgery: a systematic review of the literature. HPB (Oxford) 2021; 23:645-655. [PMID: 33485797 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2020.12.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2020] [Revised: 11/21/2020] [Accepted: 12/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous potential predictors of adverse outcomes have been reported but their performance and utilization in practice seem heterogenous. This study aimed to systematically review the literature on the role and value of predictors of complications after hepatectomy. METHODS A systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines was performed. Studies on liver transplant were excluded. Only studies assessing overall or major complications were included. RESULTS A total of 10'965 abstracts were screened. After application of exclusion criteria, 72 articles including 68'480 patients were included. A total of 72 markers with 48 pre-, 9 intra- and 15 postoperative factors were identified as predictors of complications. Preoperative and intraoperative predictive markers retrieved several times with the highest odds ratios (OR) were ASA score (OR range: 1.3-7.5, significant in 8 studies) and intraoperative need for red blood cell transfusion (OR range: 1.2-17.1, significant in 24 studies), respectively. CONCLUSION Numerous markers have been described to predict the complication risk after hepatectomy. Because of their intrinsic characteristics, most markers such as ASA score and need for red blood cell transfusion are of limited clinical interest. There is a clear need to identify new biomarkers and to develop scores that could easily be implemented in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic liver resection is gaining momentum; however, there is limited evidence on its efficacy and safety in obese patients. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between BMI and outcomes after laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) using a systematic review of the existing literature. METHODS A systematic search of Medline (Ovid 1946-present), PubMed (NCBI), Embase (Ovid 1966-present) and Cochrane Library was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement for parameters of LLR and BMI. Operative, post-operative and oncological outcomes were recorded. RESULTS Of 1460 abstracts, seven retrospective studies were analysed, published between 2015 and 2017 (study periods 1998-2017). Total patient cohort were classified as 481 obese and 1180 non-obese with a median age range of 42.5-69.4 years. Variations existed in definitions of obesity (Asia BMI >25 kg/m2 , Western BMI >30 kg/m2 ). Rates of conversion were examined in four studies (0-31%) with one reporting BMI >28 kg/m2 as an independent risk factor. Estimated blood loss and transfusion rates were similar. Operative time was increased in obese patients in one study (P = 0.02). Mortality rates ranged from 0% to 4.3% with no difference between BMI classes. No difference in major morbidity was demonstrated. Bile leak rates were increased in obese groups in one study (0-3.44%, P < 0.05). Wound infections were reported in five studies, with higher rates in obese patients (0-5.8% versus 0-1.9%). Tumour size was comparable in both groups. Completeness of resection was analysed in four studies with one study reporting increased R0 rates in obese patients (P = 0.012). CONCLUSION This systematic review highlights that current evidence shows LLR in obese patients is safe, however, further studies are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-related risk factors such as diabetes mellitus and obesity are increasing in western countries. At the same time the indications for liver resection in both benign and malignant diseases have been significantly extended in recent years. Major liver resection is performed more frequently in a patient population of old age, comorbidity and high rates of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether diabetes mellitus, obesity and overweight are risk factors for the short-term post-operative outcome after major liver resection. METHODS Four hundred seventeen major liver resections (≥ 3 segments) were selected from a prospective database. Exclusion criteria were prior liver resection in patient's history and synchronous major intra-abdominal procedures. Overweight was defined as BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and < 30 kg/m2 and obesity as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. Primary end point was 90-day mortality and logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis. Secondary end points included morbidity, complications according to Clavien-Dindo classification, unplanned readmission, bile leakage, and liver failure. Morbidity was defined as occurrence of a post-operative complication during hospital stay or within 90 days postoperatively. RESULTS Fifty-nine patients had diabetes mellitus (14.1%), 48 were obese (11.6%) and 147 were overweight (35.5%). There were no statistically significant differences in mortality rates between the groups. In the multivariate analysis, diabetes was an independent predictor of morbidity (OR = 2.44, p = 0.02), Clavien-Dindo grade IV complications (OR = 3.6, p = 0.004), unplanned readmission (OR = 2.44, p = 0.04) and bile leakage (OR = 2.06, p = 0.046). Obese and overweight patients did not have an impaired post-operative outcome compared patients with normal weight. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes has direct influence on the short-term postoperative outcome with an increased risk of morbidity but not mortality. Preoperative identification of high-risk patients will potentially decrease complication rates and allow for individual patient counseling as part of a shared decision-making process. For obese and overweight patients, major liver resection is a safe procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prognostic models to predict individual early postoperative morbidity after liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CLM) are not available but could enable optimized preoperative patient selection and postoperative surveillance for patients at greater risk of complications. The aim of this study was to establish a prognostic model for the prediction of morbidity after liver resection graded according to Dindo. METHODS N = 679 cases of primary liver resection for CLM were retrospectively analyzed using univariable and multivariable ordinal regression analyses. Receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) analysis was utilised to assess the sensitivity and specificity of predictions and their potential usefulness as prognostic models. Internal validation of the score was performed using data derived from 129 patients. RESULTS The final multivariable regression model revealed lower preoperative levels, a greater number of units of intraoperatively transfused packed red blood cells (pRBCs), longer duration of surgery, and larger metastases to independently influence postoperatively graded morbidity. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the multivariable regression model is able to predict each individual grade of postoperative morbidity with high sensitivity and specificity. The areas under the receiver operating curves (AUROC) for all of these predictions of individual grades of morbidity were > 0.700, indicating potential usefulness as a predictive model. Moreover, a consistent concordance in Grades I, II, IV, and V according to the classification proposed by Dindo et al. was observed in the internal validation. CONCLUSION This study proposes a prognostic model for the prediction of each grade of postoperative morbidity after liver resection for CLM with high sensitivity and specificity using pre- and intraoperatively available variables.

Abstract
Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) affect over 50 % of all patients with colorectal cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer in the western world. Resection of CRLM may provide cure and improves survival over chemotherapy alone. However, resectability of CLRM has to be decided in multidisciplinary tumor boards and is based on oncological factors, technical factors and patient factors. The advances of chemotherapy lead to the abolition of contraindications to resection in favor of technical resectability, but somatic mutations and molecular subtyping may improve selection of patients for resection in the future. Technical factors center around anatomy of the lesions, volume of the remnant liver and quality of the liver parenchymal. Multiple strategies have been developed to overcome volume limitations and they are reviewed here. The least investigated topic is how to select the right patients among an elderly and frail patient population for the large variety of technical options specifically for bi-lobar CRLM to keep 90-day mortality as low as possible. The review is an overview over the current state-of-the art and a systematic guide to the topic of resectability of CRLM for both clinicians and patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Body mass index (BMI) has been widely used as a prognostic indicator. The association between preoperative BMI and postoperative morbidity in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) has not been proved. This study aimed to identify the association between preoperative BMI and postoperative morbidity following radical resection of HCCA. METHODS Patients were divided into three groups according to preoperative BMI: low BMI (≤18.4 kg/m2 ), normal BMI (18.4-24.9 kg/m2 ), and high BMI (≥24.9 kg/m2 ). Baseline characteristics, operative variables, postoperative 30-day mortality, and morbidity were compared. Risk factors associated with postoperative morbidity were assessed using univariable and multivariable logistic analyses. RESULTS Among 260 patients, 183 (70.4%) had normal BMI, 32 (12.3%) had low BMI, and 45 (17.3%) had high BMI. Compared to the patients with normal-BMI, both low and high BMI patients exhibited a significantly higher postoperative morbidity (87.5% and 82.2% vs 63.9%, P = .019 and P = .025, respectively). Additionally, the multivariable analysis revealed that both low and high BMI patients remained independently associated with an increased risk of postoperative morbidity. (OR: 3.707, 95% CI: 1.080-12.725, P = .037; and OR: 2.858, 95% CI: 1.167-7.002, P = .022, respectively). CONCLUSION BMI is an independent risk factor for higher postoperative morbidity in patients who undergo surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Association between body mass index and postoperative morbidity after liver resection of hepatocellular carcinoma: A multicenter study of 1,324 patients. HPB (Oxford) 2020; 22:289-297. [PMID: 31405776 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2019.06.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2019] [Revised: 06/25/2019] [Accepted: 06/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Morbidity remains a common problem following hepatic resection. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between preoperative body mass index (BMI) and morbidity in patients undergoing liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Patients were divided into three groups according to preoperative BMI: low-BMI (≤18.4 kg/m2), normal-BMI (18.5-24.9 kg/m2) and high-BMI (≥25.0 kg/m2). Baseline characteristics, operative variables, postoperative 30-day mortality and morbidity were compared. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors associated with postoperative morbidity. RESULTS Among 1324 patients, 108 (8.2%), 733 (55.4%), and 483 (36.5%) were low-BMI, normal-BMI, and high-BMI, respectively. There were no differences in postoperative 30-day mortality among patients based on BMI (P = 0.199). Postoperative 30-day morbidity was, however, higher in low-BMI and high-BMI patients versus patients with a normal-BMI (33.3% and 32.1% vs. 22.9%, P = 0.018 and P < 0.001, respectively). Following multivariable analysis low-BMI and high-BMI remained independently associated with an increased risk of postoperative morbidity (OR: 1.701, 95%CI: 1.060-2.729, P = 0.028, and OR: 1.491, 95%CI: 1.131-1.966, P = 0.005, respectively). Similar results were noted in the incidence of postoperative 30-day surgical site infection (SSI). CONCLUSION Compared with normal-BMI patients, low-BMI and high-BMI patients had higher postoperative morbidity, including a higher incidence of SSI after liver resection for HCC.

Abstract
In Europe, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) has reached the endemic rate of 25%. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of MS. Its definition is histological, bringing together the different lesions associated with hepatic steatosis (fat deposits on more than 5% of hepatocytes) without alcohol consumption and following exclusion of other causes. MS and NAFLD are implicated in the carcinogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). At present, HCC and ICC involving MS represent 15-20% and 20-30% respectively of indications for hepatic resection in HCC and ICC. Moreover, in the industrialized nations NAFLD is tending to become the most frequent indication for liver transplantation. MS patients combine the operative risk associated with their general condition and comorbidities and the risk associated with the presence and/or severity of NAFLD. Following hepatic resection in cases of HCC and ICC complicating MS, the morbidity rate ranges from 20 to 30%, and due to cardiovascular and infectious complications, post-transplantation mortality is heightened. The operative risk incurred by MS patients necessitates appropriate management including: (i) precise characterization of the subjacent liver; (ii) an accurately targeted approach privileging detection and optimization of treatment taking into account the relevant cardiovascular risk factors; (iii) a surgical strategy adapted to the histology of the underlying liver, with optimization of the volume of the remaining (postoperative) liver.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The influence of obesity on the outcomes of curative liver resection for malignancies remains controversial. We aimed to compare the in-hospital outcomes of liver resection for malignancy between obese and non-obese patients. DESIGN This was a population-based, retrospective, observational study using data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), the largest all-payer US inpatient care database. SETTING Hospitalisations of adults ≥18 years old with diagnoses of primary hepatobiliary malignancy or secondary malignant neoplasms of liver in the USA were identified from the NIS database between 2005 and 2014. PARTICIPANTS Data of 18 398 patients ≥18 years old and underwent liver resection without pancreatic resection in the NIS were extracted. All included subjects had primary hepatobiliary malignancy or secondary malignant neoplasms of the liver. Patients were divided into obese and non-obese groups. These groups were compared with respect to postoperative complications, length of hospital stay and hospital cost according to surgical extent and approach. INTERVENTIONS Patients were undergoing lobectomy of liver or partial hepatectomy. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary endpoints of this study were postoperative complications, length of hospital stay and hospital cost. RESULTS After adjustment, obese patients were significantly more likely to experience postoperative complications than were non-obese patients (adjusted OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.42), regardless of whether lobectomy or partial hepatectomy was performed. Furthermore, obesity was significantly associated with increased risk of postoperative complications in patients who underwent open liver resection, but not laparoscopic resection. No significant difference was observed in length of hospital stay or total hospital costs between obese and non-obese patients. CONCLUSIONS After adjustment for preoperative comorbidities and other potential confounders, obesity is significantly associated with greater risk of complications in patients undergoing open liver resection for malignancy, but not laparoscopic resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether preoperative bodyweight is associated with long-term prognosis in patients after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is controversial. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of patient weight with long-term recurrence and overall survival (OS) after curative liver resection for HCC. METHODS Data for patients with HCC who underwent curative liver resection between 2000 and 2015 in five centres in China were analysed retrospectively in three groups according to their preoperative BMI: underweight (BMI 18·4 kg/m2 or less), normal weight (BMI 18·5-24·9 kg/m2 ) and overweight (BMI 25·0 kg/m2 or above). Patients' baseline characteristics, operative variables and long-term survival outcomes were compared. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for OS and recurrence-free survival (RFS) after resection. RESULTS Of 1524 patients, 107 (7·0 per cent) were underweight, 891 (58·5 per cent) were of normal weight and 526 (34·5 per cent) were overweight. Univariable analyses showed that underweight and overweight patients had poorer OS (both P < 0·001) and RFS (both P < 0·001) than patients of normal weight. Multivariable Cox regression analysis also identified both underweight and overweight to be independent risk factors for OS (hazard ratio (HR) 1·22, 95 per cent c.i. 1·19 to 1·56, P = 0·019; and HR 1·57, 1·36 to 1·81, P < 0·001, respectively) and RFS (HR 1·28, 1·16 to 1·53, P = 0·028; and HR 1·34, 1·17 to 1·54, P < 0·001). CONCLUSION Underweight and overweight patients appear to have a worse prognosis than those of normal weight following liver resection for HCC.

Abstract
AIM Previous studies reported conflicting evidence on the effects of obesity on outcomes after gastrointestinal surgery. The aims of this study were to explore the relationship of obesity with major postoperative complications in an international cohort and to present a meta-analysis of all available prospective data. METHODS This prospective, multicentre study included adults undergoing both elective and emergency gastrointestinal resection, reversal of stoma or formation of stoma. The primary end-point was 30-day major complications (Clavien-Dindo Grades III-V). A systematic search was undertaken for studies assessing the relationship between obesity and major complications after gastrointestinal surgery. Individual patient meta-analysis was used to analyse pooled results. RESULTS This study included 2519 patients across 127 centres, of whom 560 (22.2%) were obese. Unadjusted major complication rates were lower in obese vs normal weight patients (13.0% vs 16.2%, respectively), but this did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.863) on multivariate analysis for patients having surgery for either malignant or benign conditions. Individual patient meta-analysis demonstrated that obese patients undergoing surgery for malignancy were at increased risk of major complications (OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.49-2.96, P < 0.001), whereas obese patients undergoing surgery for benign indications were at decreased risk (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.46-0.75, P < 0.001) compared to normal weight patients. CONCLUSIONS In our international data, obesity was not found to be associated with major complications following gastrointestinal surgery. Meta-analysis of available prospective data made a novel finding of obesity being associated with different outcomes depending on whether patients were undergoing surgery for benign or malignant disease.

Abstract
Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is not only a leading cause of mortality but also a leading cause of life-threatening complications in patients undergoing liver resection. The ability to accurately detect the emergence of PHLF represents a crucially important step. Currently, PHLF can be predicted by a comprehensive evaluation of biological, clinical, and anatomical parameters. With the development of new technologies, imaging methods including elastography, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, and gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-enhanced MRI play a more significant role in the pre-operative prediction and assessment of PHLF. In this review, we summarize the mainstream studies, with the aim of evaluating the role of imaging and improving the clinical value of existing scoring systems for predicting PHLF.

Abstract
Post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after major liver resection. Although the etiology of PHLF is multifactorial, an inadequate functional liver remnant (FLR) is felt to be the most important modifiable predictor of PHLF. Pre-operative evaluation of FLR function and volume is of paramount importance before proceeding with any major liver resection. Patients with inadequate or borderline FLR volume must be considered for volume optimization strategies such as portal vein embolization (PVE), two stage hepatectomy with portal vein ligation (PVL), Yttrium-90 radioembolization, and associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS). This paper provides an overview of assessing FLR volume and function, and discusses indications and outcomes of commonly used volume optimization strategies.

Abstract
Background Risk prediction techniques commonly used in liver surgery include the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grading, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET). This study compares the utility of these techniques along with the number of segments resected as predictive tools in liver surgery. Methods A review of a unit database of patients undergoing liver resection between February 2008 and January 2015 was undertaken. Patient demographics, ASA, CCI and CPET variables were recorded along with resection size. Clavien-Dindo grade III–V complications were used as a composite outcome in analyses. Association between predictive variables and outcome was assessed by univariate and multivariate techniques. Results One hundred and seventy-two resections in 168 patients were identified. Grade III–V complications occurred after 42 (24.4%) liver resections. In univariate analysis of CPET variables, ventilatory equivalents for CO2 (VEqCO2) was associated with outcome. CCI score, but not ASA grade, was also associated with outcome. In multivariate analysis, the odds ratio of developing grade III–V complications for incremental increases in VEqCO2, CCI and number of liver segments resected were 1.09, 1.49 and 2.94, respectively. Conclusions Of the techniques evaluated, resection size provides the simplest and most discriminating predictor of significant complications following liver surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To conduct a meta-analysis with randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in full text to demonstrate database to show the associations of perioperative, postoperative outcomes of normal and high body mass index (BMI) to provide the predictive diagnosis for clinic. METHODS Literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library for information from the earliest date of data collection to February. RCTs comparing the benefits and risks of normal BMI with those of high BMI in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were included. Statistical heterogeneity was quantitatively evaluated by X2 test with the significance set P<0.10 or I2>50%. RESULTS Seven RCTs consisting of 33,778 patients were included. (6065 normal BMI patient; 27,713 high BMI). The results showed that high BMI was related to a greater increase in operative time, post-operative range of motion (ROM), post-operative Knee Society and function scores (KSS), infection rate (P<0.1). No differences in pulmonary embolism and perioperative mortality rates were found between normal and high body mass index patients with follow-up≥5years (P>0.1). CONCLUSIONS Compared with normal BMI patients, high BMI patients demonstrated an increased risk of perioperative and postoperative complications and clear difference about complications between normal and high BMI about TKA.

Blood transfusions and steatohepatitis are independent risk factors for complications following liver resection for colorectal cancer liver metastases. Mol Clin Oncol 2017; 7:529-538. [PMID: 28855987 PMCID: PMC5574199 DOI: 10.3892/mco.2017.1358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2017] [Accepted: 05/12/2017] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the risk factors for postoperative complications following liver resection for colorectal cancer liver metastases. Patients who underwent hepatic resection for colorectal cancer liver metastases were stratified according to chemotherapy administration and body mass index (BMI) to eliminate potential confounding factors. A univariate analysis was conducted to identify potential risk factors for postoperative complications following liver resection. Variables that exhibited a potential association were evaluated by multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify those independently associated with postoperative morbidity. Between January 2012 and March 2012, 100 patients underwent hepatic resection for liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma at the Treviso Regional Hospital (Treviso, Italy) and at the Regina Elena National Cancer Institute (Rome, Italy). Of the 100 patients, 61 received preoperative oxaliplatin- or irinotecan-based chemotherapy. A total of 25 the patients had a BMI of ≥28 kg/m2. On univariate analysis, BMI ≥28 kg/m2 was found to be positively correlated with the presence of steatosis (P<0.01) and steatohepatitis (P<0.01). The administration of preoperative chemotherapy was correlated with the development of steatosis (P<0.01), steatohepatitis (P=0.02) and postoperative complications (P=0.03). Even following stratification for the use of preoperative chemotherapy, BMI ≥28 kg/m2 maintained its positive association with steatohepatitis. On multivariate analysis, steatohepatitis (P=0.005, HR=0.118, 95% CI: 0.027–0.518) and blood transfusions (P=0.001, HR=0.131, 95% CI: 0.038–0.452) were independently associated with postoperative complications. BMI ≥28 kg/m2 (P=0.004, HR=8.30, 95% CI: 2.39–28.7) and irinotecan treatment (P=0.016, HR=0.16, 95% CI: 0.037–0.711) were independent risk factors for steatohepatitis. In conclusion, steatohepatitis and perioperative blood transfusions were found to be the main determinant of postoperative complications following liver resection for colorectal liver metastases. Overweight patients may be more prone to the cytotoxic effects of irinotecan, harboring a higher risk of developing steatohepatitis.

Abstract
To construct a robust morbidity risk-prediction model based on a Japanese nationwide web-based database of patients who underwent liver surgery.Although liver resection has become safer, patient mortality and morbidity still occur. This study investigated postoperative morbidity risks in patients who underwent hepatectomy in Japan at institutions registered in the National Clinical Database.This analysis involved 14,970 patients who underwent hepatectomy of more than 1 section, except for left lateral sectionectomy, during 2011 and 2012 at 1192 hospitals in Japan. Patients were randomized into 2 subsets, with 80% of patients analyzed for model development and the remaining 20% for model validation.Rates of 90-day inhospital mortality and overall morbidity were 3.7% and 25.7%, respectively. Rates of surgical site infection and bile leakage were 9.0% and 8.0%, respectively, but these morbidities showed little association with mortality. Rates of nonsurgical complications, including postoperative transfusion over 5 units, unexpected intubation, renal failure, cardiac events, septic shock, and postoperative pneumonia, ranged from 0.2% to 2.6%. These complications were highly associated with mortality, suggesting they were life-threatening. Risk models for morbidity yielded high C-indices for transfusion of over 5 units (0.758), unplanned intubation (0.755), renal failure (0.80), cardiac events (0.779), septic shock (0.783), pneumonia (0.768), and bile leakage (0.676).Preoperative parameters/comorbidities can accurately predict life-threatening complications after hepatectomy. These models allow early identification of patients at risk of mortality and may be useful in deciding on surgical interventions and in improving surgical quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obese patients may present with metabolic abnormalities that impact liver regeneration. We sought to assess the impact of body mass index (BMI) on liver volume regeneration index (RI) and kinetic growth rate (KGR) among patients undergoing liver resection. METHODS The study included 102 patients undergoing major hepatectomy (≥3 segments) between July 2004 and April 2015 and stratified the patients by preoperative BMI, number of segments resected, and postoperative remnant liver volume (RLVp) to total liver volume ratio. Resected volume at operation was subtracted from total liver volume to calculate postoperative RLVp. RI was defined as the relative increase in RLV within 2 months [(RLV2m-RLVp)/RLVp] and 7 months [(RLV7m-RLVp)/RLVp] postoperatively; KGR was calculated as RI divided by time postoperatively (weeks). RESULTS Median patient age was 59.6 years (interquartile range 48.1-68.7 years), and most patients were men (52.0%). Liver failure was associated with the KGR at 2 months (KGR2m) and was greater among patients with KGR2m <2.5% per week (KGR <2.5%, 18.5% vs KGR ≥ 2.5%, 4.6%; P = .04). Although RI and KGR within 2 and 7 months postoperatively were similar among all patients, after excluding patients with fibrosis, obese (0.42% per week) and overweight patients (0.29% per week) had lesser KGR2-7m compared with patients of normal BMI (0.82% per week; P < .05). Additionally, risk of a major complication was greatest among obese patients (normal weight, 8.1% vs overweight, 12.9% vs obese, 29.4%; P = .04). CONCLUSION BMI did not impact liver regeneration during the first 2 months. In contrast, KGR per week between 2 and 7 months postoperatively was less among overweight and obese patients.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported the association between excess body mass index (BMI) and increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, whether BMI is associated with the prognosis and postoperative complications of HCC is still not clear.We searched PubMed and Embase for relevant studies published until the date of August 30, 2014. Additional studies were manually identified by searching reference lists of retrieved articles. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and risk ratios (RRs) with 95% CIs for postoperative complications were calculated using random effects or fixed effects models according to heterogeneities between studies.A total of 14 studies were included in the present meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that excess BMI was not significantly associated with improved OS (HR = 0.94; 95% CI: 0.74-1.19, P = 0.588) or DFS (HR = 0.93; 95% CI: 0.79-1.10, P = 0.382). In addition, higher BMI was not associated with increased rate of a number of complications including ascites (RR = 1.25, 95% CI: 0.94-1.65, P = 0.119), bile leaks (RR = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.81-1.83, P = 0.345), and 30-day mortality (RR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.57-1.96, P = 0.871). However, HCC patients with higher BMI had increased incidence of wound infections (RR = 2.17, 95% CI: 1.28-3.68, P = 0.004).BMI was not an independent prognostic factor for the evaluation of the prognosis in HCC patients, and it was not associated with postoperative complications except for wound infections that as significantly associated with higher BMI scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The incidence of metabolic syndrome-related hepatocellular carcinoma (MS-HCC) is increasing worldwide. High resection risks are anticipated because of underlying steatohepatitis, but long-term results are unknown. To clarify the outcomes following liver resection in patients with MS-HCC and to compare the outcomes of MS-HCC to HCV-related HCC (HCV-HCC). METHODS All the consecutive patients undergoing liver resection for HCC in six high-volume HPB units between 2000 and 2012 were retrospectively considered. The patients with MS-HCC were identified and matched one-to-one with HCV-HCC patients without metabolic syndrome. Matching was based on age, cirrhosis, Child-Pugh class, portal hypertension, HCC number and diameter and liver resection extension. RESULTS Among 1563 patients undergoing liver resection for HCC in the study period, 96 (6.1%) had MS-HCC. They were matched with 96 HCV-HCC patients. All patients were Child-Pugh class A, 22.9% had cirrhosis. Forty-one patients per group (42.7%) required major hepatectomy. The MS-HCC group had a higher prevalence of steatohepatitis (25.0% vs. 9.4%, p=0.004). Operative mortality was 2.1% (1 MS-HCC, 3 HCV-HCC, p=0.621). Morbidity and liver failure rates were similar between the two groups. In the multivariate analysis, cirrhosis, major hepatectomy, and MELD >8, but not steatohepatitis, impacted severe morbidity and liver failure rates. The MS-HCC group had better 5-year overall survival (65.6% vs. 61.4%, p=0.031) and recurrence-free survival (37.0% vs. 27.5%, p=0.077). Independent negative prognostic factors were HCV-HCC, multiple HCC, microvascular invasion, and satellite nodules. CONCLUSIONS Liver resection is safe for MS-HCC, as for HCV-HCC. Cirrhosis, but not steatohepatitis, affects short-term outcomes. MS-HCC is associated with excellent long-term outcomes, better than HCV-HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Despite the significant association between obesity and several cancers, it has been difficult to establish an association between obesity and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients with HCC often have ascites, making it a challenge to determine body mass index (BMI) accurately, and many factors contribute to the development of HCC. We performed a case-control study to investigate whether obesity early in adulthood affects risk, age of onset, or outcomes of patients with HCC. METHODS We interviewed 622 patients newly diagnosed with HCC from January 2004 through December 2013, along with 660 healthy controls (frequency-matched by age and sex) to determine weights, heights, and body sizes (self-reported) at various ages before HCC development or enrollment as controls. Multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses were performed to determine the independent effects of early obesity on risk for HCC and patient outcomes, respectively. BMI was calculated, and patients with a BMI of 30 kg/m(2) or greater were considered obese. RESULTS Obesity in early adulthood (age, mid-20s to mid-40s) is a significant risk factor for HCC. The estimated odds ratios were 2.6 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-4.4), 2.3 (95% CI, 1.2-4.4), and 3.6 (95% CI, 1.5-8.9) for the entire population, for men, and for women, respectively. Each unit increase in BMI at early adulthood was associated with a 3.89-month decrease in age at HCC diagnosis (P < .001). Moreover, there was a synergistic interaction between obesity and hepatitis virus infection. However, we found no effect of obesity on the overall survival of patients with HCC. CONCLUSIONS Early adulthood obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing HCC at a young age in the absence of major HCC risk factors, with no effect on outcomes of patients with HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the potential effect of obesity and diabetes mellitus on survival after liver resection due to colorectal cancer (CRC) metastases are very limited. METHODS Patients undergoing liver resection for CRC metastases in a European institution in 2004-2011 were retrospectively enrolled. Relevant data, such as body mass index, extent of resection, chemotherapy, and perioperative outcome, were collected from medical records. The relation of obesity and diabetes mellitus with overall and disease-free survival was assessed using adjusted Cox models. RESULTS Thirty of 207 patients (14.4%) included in the study were obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m(2)) and 25 (12%) had diabetes mellitus. Major hepatectomy was performed in 46%. Although both obese patients and those with diabetes had higher American Society of Anesthesiologist scores (P < 0.05 for both), neither obesity nor diabetes was significantly related to primary tumor characteristics, liver metastasis features, extent or radicality of resection, extrahepatic disease at hepatectomy, preoperative or postoperative oncologic therapy, or perioperative outcome (P > 0.05 for all). Patients were followed up for a median of 39 mo posthepatectomy (interquartile range, 13-56 mo). After adjustment for confounders, obesity was an independent predictor of improved (hazard ratio, 0.305, 95% confidence interval, 0.103-0.902) and diabetes of worse overall survival (hazard ratio, 3.298, 95% confidence interval, 1.306-8.330). Obese patients with diabetes had also worse disease-free survival compared with the rest of the cohort (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS After hepatectomy for CRC metastases, obesity does not seem to be associated to poor outcome while diabetes mellitus has a negative impact on prognosis.

Abstract
Background Whether obesity affects surgical outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is controversial. Here we retrospectively evaluated the impact of obesity on outcomes in HCC patients after curative hepatectomy. Methods Patients with Child-Pugh A liver function who underwent curative hepatectomy between 2006 and 2010 were categorized as obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m2, n = 68) and non-obese (<25 kg/m2, n = 242). To reduce interference from baseline differences between the two groups, propensity score-matched analysis was performed in the ratio 1:2 using a caliper width of 0.1. Surgical outcomes were compared for 61 obese and 115 non-obese patients. Results Obese patients had higher levels of albumin and aspartate aminotransferase, and more solitary tumors compared to the non-obese patients (all P<0.05). In the propensity-matched cohort, baseline characteristics did not differ between the two groups (all P>0.05). Obese and non-obese patients had comparable 30-day mortality (1.6% vs. 2.6%, P = 1.000), 90-day mortality (3.3% vs. 4.3%, P = 1.000), and incidence of postoperative complications (19.7% vs. 18.3%, P = 0.819). Overall survival at 1, 3, and 5 years was similar for obese patients (83.6%, 63.6%, 41.6%) as for non-obese patients (80.9%, 65.9%, 49.1%; P = 0.358). Disease-free survival at 1, 3, and 5 years was also similar for obese patients (71.5%, 36.3%, 24.3%) as for non-obese ones (60.2%, 43.7%, 27.7%; P = 0.969). Conclusion Our propensity score-matched analysis strengthens the case that obesity does not adversely affect surgical outcomes of HCC patients undergoing curative hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the increasing prevalence of obesity, the impact of body weight on postoperative outcomes of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) still remains poorly evaluated. The present study aimed to explore the impact of body mass index (BMI) on perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing LLR. STUDY DESIGN All patients undergoing LLR from January 2008 to December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. BMI was subdivided into normal weight (<24.9 kg/m(2)), overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m(2)), and obese (≥30.0 kg/m(2)). These three groups were compared in terms of demographic data, intraoperative factors, and postoperative outcomes. Logistic regression was used to determine odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals and evaluate BMI as an independent risk factor for morbidity. RESULTS Among 228 selected patients, 83 (36.4%) patients were overweight and 32 (14.0%) were obese. Despite higher rates of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and ischemic heart disease with an increase in BMI, no significant difference in operative time, blood loss, and conversion rate was observed in the three groups. There were no significant differences in postoperative mortality rate between the groups (0.9 vs. 1.2 vs. 0%). The rate of overall complications (31.0 vs. 31.3 vs. 40.6%) and major complications (14.2 vs. 9.6 vs. 18.8%) did not differ in the three groups. Major hepatectomy (HR 6.810, CI 1.437-32.267, p = 0.016) and operative time >180 min (HR 2.639, CI 1.179-5.908, p = 0.018) were independently associated with postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrated that BMI does not negatively affect the postoperative short-term outcomes. Therefore, obesity and overweight should not be a contraindication for LLR.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MS), which is defined as a constellation of clinico-biological features closely related to insulin-resistance has reached epidemic levels in Western Europe and Northern America. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents the hepatic manifestation of MS. As its incidence parallels that of MS, NAFLD is currently becoming one of the most frequent chronic liver diseases in Western countries. On one hand, MS favors the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) either through NAFLD liver parenchymal alterations (steatosis; steatohepatitis; fibrosis), or in the absence of significant underlying liver parenchyma changes. In this setting, HCC are often diagnosed incidentally, tend to be larger than in patients developing HCC on cirrhosis and therefore frequently require major liver resections. On the other hand, MS patients are at increased risk of both liver-related postoperative complications and increased cardiorespiratory events leading to non-negligible mortality rates following liver surgery. These deleterious effects seem to be related to the existence of impaired liver function even in the absence of severe fibrosis but also higher cardiorespiratory sensitivity in a setting of MS/NAFLD. Hence, specific medical and surgical improvements in the perioperative management of these patients are required. These include complete preoperative cardiorespiratory work-up and the wide use of preoperative liver volume modulation. Finally, the long-term prognosis after curative surgery for MS-related HCC does not seem to be worse than for other HCC occurring on classical chronic liver diseases. This is probably related to less aggressive tumor behavior with lower micro vascular invasion and decreased rates of poorly differentiated lesions. In this setting, several medical therapies including metformin could be of value in the prevention of both occurrence and recurrence of HCC.

The effect of body mass index on the risk of post-operative complications during the 6 months following total hip replacement or total knee replacement surgery. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2014; 22:918-27. [PMID: 24836211 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2014.04.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 78] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2013] [Revised: 03/07/2014] [Accepted: 04/16/2014] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of obesity on 6-month post-operative complications following total knee (TKR) or hip (THR) replacement. DESIGN Data for patients undergoing first THR or TKR between 1995 and 2011 was taken from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Logistic regression was used to assess whether body mass index (BMI) was associated with 6-month post-operative complications [deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (DVT/PE), myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, respiratory infection, anaemia, wound infection, urinary tract infection or death] after controlling for the effects of age, gender, smoking, drinking, socio-economic status (SES), co-morbidities and medications. RESULTS 31,817 THR patients and 32,485 TKR patients were identified for inclusion. Increasing BMI was associated with a significantly higher risk of wound infections, from 1.6% to 3.5% in THR patients (adjusted P < 0.01), and from 3% to 4.1% (adjusted P < 0.05) in TKR patients. DVT/PE risk also increased with obesity from 2.2% to 3.3% (adjusted P < 0.01) in THR patients and from 2.0% to 3.3% (adjusted P < 0.01) in TKR patients. Obesity was not associated with increased risk of other complications. CONCLUSION Whilst an increased risk of wound infection and DVT/PE was observed amongst obese patients, absolute risks remain low and no such association was observed for MI, stroke and mortality. However this is a selected cohort (eligible for surgery according to judgement of NHS GPs and surgeons) and as such these results do not advocate surgery be given without consideration of BMI, but indicate that universal denial of surgery based on BMI is unwarranted.

Abstract
Objective and Background Although many studies on evaluating the safety of liver resection in obese patients have been conducted, the results remain contradictory. The aim of our study was to investigate the safety of overweight and obese patients undergoing liver resection for hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma in a large sample. Methods In a retrospective cohort with 1543 hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma patients, the subjects were stratified into four groups according to their body mass index(BMI): obesity(BMI≥28), overweight(BMI:24.0–27.9), normal weight(BMI:18.5–23.9) and underweight(BMI<18.5). The Dindo–Clavien classification system was used for grading complications. Clinical characteristics and operative outcomes were compared among the four groups. Risk factors for postoperative complications were evaluated by multivariate analysis. Results According to the category criteria of the Working Group on Obesity in China (WGOC) criteria, 73(4.7%) obese, 412(26.7%) overweight, 982(63.6%) normal weight and 76(4.9%) underweight patients were included in our cohort. Overweight and obese patients had more preoperative comorbidities such as hypertension(P<0.001). Mortality, total complications and complications classified by Clavien system were similar among the four groups except that the underweight patients had fewer total complications. However, postoperative wound complication was more common in overweight and obese patients(6.3% vs 2.5%,P<0.001,11.0% vs 2.5%,P = 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that BMI was not an independently significant factor for postoperative complications. Conclusions Liver resection for obese and overweight patients is safe and BMI itself is not a risk factor for mortality and morbidity.

Abstract
The aim of this topic highlight is to review relevant evidence regarding the influence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) and its associated liver manifestation, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), on the development of liver cancer as well as their impact on the results of major liver surgery. MS and NAFLD, whose incidences are significantly increasing in Western countries, are leading to a changing profile of the patients undergoing liver surgery. A MEDLINE search was performed for relevant articles using the key words "metabolic syndrome", "liver resection", "liver transplantation", "non alcoholic fatty liver disease", "non-alcoholic steatohepatitis" and "liver cancer". On one hand, the MS favors the development of primary liver malignancies (hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma) either through NAFLD liver parenchymal alterations (steatosis, steatohepatitis, fibrosis) or in the absence of significant underlying liver parenchyma changes. Also, the existence of NAFLD may have a specific impact on colorectal liver metastases recurrence. On the other hand, the postoperative period following partial liver resection and liver transplantation is at increased risk of both postoperative complications and mortality. These deleterious effects seem to be related to the existence of liver specific complications but also higher cardio-vascular sensitivity in a setting of MS/NAFLD. Finally, the long-term prognosis after curative surgery joins that of patients operated on with other types of underlying liver diseases. An increased rate of patients with MS/NAFLD referred to hepatobiliary units has to be expected. The higher operative risk observed in this subset of patients will require specific improvements in their perioperative management.

Abstract
The amount of the future liver remnant volume is fundamental for hepato-biliary surgery, representing an important potential risk-factor for the development of post-hepatectomy liver failure. Despite this, there is no uniform consensus about the amount of hepatic parenchyma that can be safely resected, nor about the modality that should be chosen for this evaluation. The pre-operative evaluation of hepatic volume, along with a precise identification of vascular and biliar anatomy and variants, are therefore necessary to reduce surgical complications, especially for extensive resections. Some studies have tried to validate imaging methods [ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging] for the assessment of liver volume, but there is no clear evidence about the most accurate method for this evaluation. Furthermore, this volumetric evaluation seems to have a certain degree of error, tending to overestimate the actual hepatic volume, therefore some conversion factors, which should give a more reliable evaluation of liver volume, have been proposed. It is widespread among non-radiologists the use of independent software for an off-site volumetric analysis, performed on digital imaging and communications in medicine images with their own personal computer, but very few studies have provided a validation of these methods. Moreover, while the pre-transplantation volumetric assessment is fundamental, it remains unclear whether it should be routinely performed in all patients undergoing liver resection. In this editorial the role of imaging in the estimation of liver volume is discussed, providing a review of the most recent literature and a brief personal series of correlations between liver volumes and resection specimens’ weight, in order to assess the precision of the volumetric CT evaluation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe whether body mass index (BMI) is a clinically meaningful predictor of patient reported outcomes following primary total hip replacement (THR) surgery. DESIGN Combined data from prospective cohort studies. We obtained information from four cohorts of patients receiving primary THR for osteoarthritis: Exeter Primary Outcomes Study (EPOS) (n = 1431); EUROHIP (n = 1327); Elective Orthopaedic Centre (n = 2832); and St. Helier (n = 787). The exposure of interest was pre-operative BMI. Confounding variables included: age, sex, SF-36 mental health, comorbidities, fixed flexion, analgesic use, college education, OA in other joints, expectation of less pain, radiographic K&L grade, ASA grade, years of hip pain. The primary outcome was the Oxford Hip Score (OHS). Regression models describe the association of BMI on outcome adjusting for all confounders. RESULTS For a 5-unit increase in BMI, the attained 12-month OHS decreases by 0.78 points 95%CI (0.27-1.28), P-value 0.001. Compared to people of normal BMI (20-25), those in the obese class II (BMI 35-40) would have a 12-month OHS that is 2.34 points lower. Although statistically significant this effect is small and not clinically meaningful in contrast to the substantial change in OHS seen across all BMI groupings. In obese class II patients achieved a 22.2 point change in OHS following surgery. CONCLUSIONS Patients achieved substantial change in OHS after THR across all BMI categories, which greatly outweighs the small difference in attained post-operative score. The findings suggest BMI should not present a barrier to access THR in terms of PROMs.

Abstract
Hepatic resection offers a chance of a cure in selected patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM). To achieve adequate patient selection and curative surgery, (i) precise assessment of the extent of disease, (ii) sensitive criteria for chemotherapy effect, (iii) adequate decision making in surgical indication and (iv) an optimal surgical approach for pre-treated tumours are required. For assessment of the extent of the disease, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) is recommended depending on the local expertise and availability. Positron emission tomography (PET) and PET/CT may offer additive information in detecting extrahepatic disease. The RECIST criteria are a reasonable method to evaluate the effect of chemotherapy. However, they are imperfect in predicting a pathological response in the era of modern systemic therapy with biological agents. The assessment of radiographical morphological changes is a better surrogate of the pathological response and survival especially in the patients treated with bevacizumab. Resectability of CLM is dependent on both anatomic and oncological factors. To decrease the surgical risk, a sufficient volume of liver remnant with adequate blood perfusion and biliary drainage is required according to the degree of histopathological injury of the underlying liver. Portal vein embolization is sometimes required to decrease the surgical risk in a patient with small future liver remnant volume. As a complete radiological response does not signify a complete pathological response, liver resection should include all the site of a tumour detected prior to systemic treatment.
