Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. OBJECTIVES Postoperative ileus (POI) can negatively impact patient recovery and surgical outcomes after spine surgery. Emerging studies have focused on the risk factors for POI after spine surgery. This study aimed to review the available literature on risk factors associated with POI following elective spine surgery. METHODS Electronic databases were searched to identify relevant studies. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effect model. Risk factors for POI were summarized using pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS Twelve studies were included in the present review. Meta-analysis demonstrated males exhibited a higher risk of POI than females odds ratio (OR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.54-2.01). Patients with anemia had a higher risk of POI than those without anemia (OR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.04-2.11). Patients with liver disease (OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.2-9.08) had a higher risk of POI. The presence of perioperative fluid and electrolyte imbalances was a predictor of POI (OR, 3.24; 95% CI, 2.62-4.02). Spine surgery involving more than 3 levels had a higher risk of POI compared to that with 1-2 levels (OR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.03-3.23). CONCLUSIONS Male sex and the presence of anemia and liver disease were significant patient factors associated with POI. Perioperative fluid and electrolyte imbalance and multilevel spine surgery significantly increased the risk of POI. In addition, through this comprehensive review, we identified several perioperative risk factors associated with the development of POI after spine surgery.

Gastrointestinal complications after fast-track total hip and knee replacement: an observational study in a consecutive 36,932 patient cohort. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023; 143:6033-6038. [PMID: 37186076 PMCID: PMC10491699 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-023-04887-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gastrointestinal complications after total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA) have been reported to be between 0.3 and 2.6% with bleeding and C. difficile infection in 0-1%, and 0.1-1.7%, respectively. The use of enhanced recovery or "fast-track" protocols have focused on optimizing all aspects of perioperative care resulting in reduced length of hospital stay (LOS) and potentially also gastrointestinal complications. This study is a detailed analysis on the occurrence of postoperative gastrointestinal complications resulting in increased hospital stay or readmissions in a large consecutive cohort of fast-track THA and TKA with complete 90 days follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is an observational study on a consecutive cohort of primary unilateral THAs and TKAs performed between January 2010 and August 2017 in nine Danish high-volume fast-track centers. Discharge summaries and relevant patient records were reviewed in patients with readmissions within 90 days or LOS > 4 days caused by gastrointestinal complications. RESULTS The cohort included 36,932 patients with 58.3% females and 54.1% THAs. Mean age and BMI were 68 years and 28. Median postoperative LOS was 2 days. Only n: 276 (0.75 %) had a LOS > 4 days or a readmission within 90 days due to a gastrointestinal complication (CI 0.67%-0.84%). Of these, only 34 (0.09%) were graded as severe ileus or gastrointestinal bleeding. CONCLUSIONS The risk of GI-complications within the first 90 postoperative days after fast-track THA and TKA was low (0.75%).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the frequency of post cesarean paralytic ileus and to identify associated risk factors and outcomes. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective cohort study of woman who underwent cesarean delivery between 2005 and 2019. All parturients who had cesarean delivery were stratified and compared according to whether or not they were diagnosed with a paralytic ileus. Women were excluded if they had an intestinal injury or repair during the cesarean or if they suffered from a post cesarean mechanical bowel obstruction diagnosed during re-laparotomy. Basic demographics, obstetric history, current delivery characteristics, re-suturing indications and outcomes were obtained and analyzed. Univariate analyses were followed by a multivariate analysis (adjusted Odds Ratio (aORs) ; [95% Confidence Interval]). RESULTS A total of 23,486 women met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of which 135 (0.6%) were diagnosed with paralytic ileus whilst 23,347 (99.4%) did not and served as the control group. Multivariate analysis revealed that an estimated intra-operative blood loss ≥ 1000 ml was the most significant risk factor for post cesarean paralytic ileus (aOR 2.27 (1.18-4.36)), followed by multifetal gestation (aOR 2.08 (1.24-3.51)), corporeal uterine incision (aOR 1.97 (1.07-3.63)), use of topical hemostatic agents (aOR 1.78 (1.19-2.66)) and increasing maternal age (aOR 1.78 (1.19-2.66)). Regarding maternal outcomes, post cesarean paralytic ileus was associated with higher rates of postpartum hemorrhage (44.4% vs. 13.4%, p < 0.01), transfusion of blood products (23.7% vs. 3.9%, p < 0.01), post-cesarean exploratory laparotomy (4.4% vs. 0.1%, p < 0.01) and prolonged hospital stay (32.6% vs. 5.2%, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION In our population, whilst post cesarean paralytic ileus is infrequent, when it occurs it is associated with increased short-term maternal morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe gastrointestinal (GI) complications after elective hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) are rare. Some of them can be life-threatening and/or require emergency abdominal surgery. We studied the epidemiology of severe GI complications after THA/TKA and associations with anesthesia- and/or analgesia-related factors. METHODS We included 591,865 THA and 1,139,616 TKA cases (Premier Healthcare claims database; 2006-2016). Main outcomes were GI complications and related emergency surgeries within 30 days after THA/TKA. Anesthesia- and analgesia-related factors were anesthesia type (neuraxial, general), use of peripheral nerve block, patient-controlled analgesia, nonopioid analgesics (acetaminophen, gabapentin/pregabalin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, ketamine), and opioids (in oral morphine equivalents, categorized into low, medium, and high use based on the interquartile range). Mixed-effects models measured associations between anesthesia- and analgesia-related factors and outcomes, which were reported using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Among THA patients, GI complications were observed in 1.03% (n = 6103), with 0.08% (n = 450) requiring emergency surgery; this was 0.79% (n = 8971) and 0.05% (n = 540), respectively, for TKA patients. After adjustment for relevant covariates (including opioid use), almost all anesthesia-/analgesia-related factors were associated with significantly decreased odds of GI complications, specifically use of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors (OR 0.72 CI 0.67-0.76/OR 0.82 CI 0.78-0.86), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (OR 0.81 CI 0.77-0.85/OR 0.90 CI 0.86-0.94), and peripheral nerve blocks (OR 0.77 CI 0.69-0.87/OR 0.91 CI 0.85-0.97); all for THA and TKA, respectively (all P < .01). CONCLUSION Rare, but devastating, acute GI complications (requiring surgery) after THA/TKA may be positively impacted by a variety of modifiable anesthesia-/analgesia-related interventions.
