Risk factors for infectious complications after gastrectomy in older patients. Exp Ther Med 2024; 28:319. [PMID: 38939176 PMCID: PMC11208990 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2024.12608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to identify preoperative and perioperative risk factors for postoperative infectious complications in older patients with gastric cancer. The present retrospective study included 504 patients with gastric cancer aged >65 years who underwent radical gastrectomy. After determining the cutoff values for various perioperative factors in the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, preoperative and perioperative risk factors for the development of infectious complications after gastrectomy were examined using logistic regression analysis. Of the 504 patients who underwent gastrectomy, 95 (18.8%) developed infectious complications of grade II-V based on the Clavien-Dindo classification. In an analysis restricted to preoperative factors, male sex, low prognostic nutritional index, high visceral fat area and total gastrectomy were independent risk factors for infectious complications after gastrectomy. Among all perioperative factors, a low prognostic nutritional index and long operative duration were identified as independent risk factors for infectious complications after gastrectomy. The patients were divided into five groups according to the number of positive preoperative risk factors for infectious complications, and the incidence of infectious complications differed among the five groups (0 factors, 6.7%; 1 factor, 10.4%; 2 factors, 18.9%; 3 factors, 27.8%; and 4 factors, 47.6%; P<0.001). Older patients with gastric cancer who have a number of preoperative risk factors require careful consideration of the indication for gastrectomy and a shorter operative time to reduce infectious complications.

Abstract
Various factors contribute to different types of surgical site infections (SSI) in gastric cancer patients undergoing surgery, and the risk factors remain uncertain. This meta-analysis aims to clarify the relationship between various factors and SSI, resolving existing controversies. Thirty-four eligible articles with 66 066 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Significant risk factors for SSI included age ≥65 years, male gender, BMI ≥25 kg/m2, diabetes, hypertension, advanced TNM stage ≥III, pathologic T stage ≥T3, pathologic N stage ≥N1, ASA ≥3, open surgery, blood transfusion, extensive resection, combined resection, splenectomy, D2 or more lymph node dissection, and operative time ≥240 min. Operative time showed a nonlinear relationship with SSI risk. Subgroup analysis revealed significant differences in the effects of risk factors among different infection types. These findings inform the development of targeted preventive measures to reduce SSI rates.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths, with a relatively high incidence among the elderly population. Surgical resection is the mainstay treatment for GC and is currently the only cure. However, the incidence of postoperative intraabdominal infections remains high and seriously affects the prognosis. This study aimed to explore the risk factors for intraabdominal infections after radical gastrectomy in elderly patients and to establish and validate a risk prediction model. We collected the clinical data of 322 GC patients, who underwent radical gastrectomy at the General Surgery Department of China Medical University Dandong Central Hospital from January 2016 to January 2023. The patients were divided into an infected group (n = 27) and a noninfected group (n = 295) according to whether intraabdominal infections occurred postoperatively. A nomogram risk prediction model for the occurrence of postoperative intraabdominal infections was developed. All patients were randomized into a training set (n = 225) and a validation set (n = 97) in a 7:3 ratio, and the model was internally validated. Of the 322 patients, 27 (8.3%) experienced postoperative intraabdominal infections. Single-factor analysis revealed associations of intraabdominal infection with body mass index, glucose, hemoglobin, albumin, and other factors. The multifactorial analysis confirmed that body mass index, glucose, hemoglobin, albumin, surgical duration, and bleeding volume were independent risk factors for intraabdominal infections. The nomogram constructed based on these factors demonstrated excellent performance in both the training and validation sets. A nomogram model was developed and validated to predict the risk of intraabdominal infection after radical gastrectomy. The model has a good predictive performance, which could help clinicians prevent the occurrence of intraabdominal infections after radical gastrectomy in elderly patients.

Risk factors for abdominal surgical infectious complications after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer: A post-hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial (JCOG0912). EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2024; 50:107982. [PMID: 38290246 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2024.107982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Abdominal surgical infectious complications (ASIC) after gastrectomy for gastric cancer impair patients' survival and quality of life. JCOG0912 was conducted to compare laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy with open distal gastrectomy for clinical stage IA or IB gastric cancer. The present study aimed to identify risk factors for ASIC using prospectively collected data. METHODS We performed a post-hoc analysis of the risk factors for ASIC using the dataset from JCOG0912. All complications were evaluated according to the Clavien-Dindo classification (CD). ASIC was defined as CD grade I or higher anastomotic leakage, pancreatic fistula, abdominal abscess, and wound infection. Analyses were performed using the logistic regression model for univariable and multivariable analyses. RESULTS A total of 910 patients were included (median age, 63 years; male sex, 61 %). Among them, ASIC occurred in 5.8 % of patients. In the univariable analysis, male sex (odds ratio [OR] 2.855, P = 0.003), diabetes (OR 2.565, P = 0.029), and Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction (vs. Billroth Ⅰ, OR 2.707, P = 0.002) were significant risk factors for ASIC. In the multivariable analysis, male sex (OR 2.364, P = 0.028) and R-Y reconstruction (vs. Billroth Ⅰ, OR 2.310, P = 0.015) were independent risk factors for ASIC. CONCLUSIONS Male sex and R-Y reconstruction were risk factors for ASIC after distal gastrectomy. Therefore, when performing surgery on male patients or when R-Y reconstruction is selected after gastrectomy for gastric cancer, surgeons should pay special attention to prevent ASIC.

Advantages of robotic gastrectomy for overweight patients with gastric cancer: a comparison study of robotic gastrectomy and conventional laparoscopic gastrectomy. Surg Today 2023; 53:1260-1268. [PMID: 37024640 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-023-02681-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE A high body mass index (BMI) generally increases the risk of postoperative complications because of the intraperitoneal adipose tissue. Robotic gastrectomy (RG) decreases the surgical difficulty of conventional laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for these patients. We conducted the present study to identify the advantages of RG over LG for overweight patients. METHODS We reviewed clinical data on patients who underwent either LG or RG at the National Cancer Center Hospital East between January, 2014 and May, 2022. RESULTS The 1298 patients eligible patients were divided into a non-overweight cohort (n = 996) (LG, n = 818; RG, n = 178) and an overweight cohort (n = 302) (LG, n = 250; RG, n = 52) according to a BMI cut-off of 25 kg/m2. In the overweight cohort, the RG group had a lower incidence of grade ≥ III postoperative complications (0.0 vs. 8.8%, p = 0.01) and grade ≥ II postoperative complications (11.5 vs. 22.0%, p = 0.12) than the LG group. Multivariate analysis identified that RG was significantly associated with a lower incidence of grade ≥ II postoperative complications in the overweight cohort (odds ratio, 0.33; 95% confidence interval, 0.12-0.87; p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS RG may reduce the risk of postoperative complications, compared with conventional LG, in overweight patients.

Abstract
PURPOSES The present meta-analysis aimed at identifying potential prognostic indicators associated with adipose distribution patterns for predicting the survival outcomes of patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS A systematic retrieve was performed to identify studies investigating the association of adipose distribution patterns and the prognosis of HCC from the inception of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases to May 25, 2023. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was applied to assess the quality of included studies. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) of adipose distribution parameters of visceral, subcutaneous, and intermuscular adipose tissue were extracted. Univariate and multivariable meta-analyses were performed by Stata 12.0 to evaluate the relationship between these factors and overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS A total of 31 studies, comprising 7021 patients, including 2456 patients with HCV and 1466 patients with HBV were included. The pooled results indicated that only high visceral to subcutaneous adipose area ratio (VSR) (univariate analysis of OS: HR = 1.42, 95 % CI = 1.28-1.58, P < 0.001; multivariate analysis of OS: HR = 1.45, 95 % CI = 1.27-1.65, P < 0.001; univariate analysis of RFS: HR = 1.30, 95 % CI = 1.08-1.56, P = 0.006; multivariate analysis of RFS: HR = 1.36, 95 % CI = 1.10-1.67, P = 0.004) was both related to worse OS and RFS, with no significant heterogeneity observed. CONCLUSION Pretreatment VSR, as the sole parameter among adipose distribution-related factors exhibiting independent and stable associations with OS and RFS in patients with HCC, may hold promise as a potential prognostic factor for HCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the impact of visceral obesity (VO) measured by preoperative abdominal computed tomography (CT) on postoperative infectious complications for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and establish a predictive model. METHODS Patients who underwent resection for colorectal cancer between January 2015 and January 2021 were enrolled in this study. All patients were measured for body mass index (BMI) and visceral fat area (VFA) preoperatively. Infectious complications were compared between the different groups according to BMI and VO categories. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze whether VO was an independent risk factor for postoperative infectious complications. According to the results of logistic regression, six machine learning approaches were used to establish predictive models and perform internal validation. The best-performing model was interpreted by the SHAPley Additive exPlanations value. RESULTS Approximately 64.81% of 520 patients had VO. VO was significantly connected with postoperative infectious complications (P < 0.001), coronary heart disease (P = 0.004), cerebral infarction (P = 0.001), hypertension (P < 0.001), diabetes (P < 0.001), and fatty liver (P < 0.001). The rates of wound infection (P = 0.048), abdominal or pelvic infection (P = 0.006), and pneumonia (P = 0.008) increased obviously in patients with VO. Compared to the low BMI group, a high BMI was found to be significantly associated with hypertension (P=0.007), fatty liver (P<0.001), and a higher rate of postoperative infection (P=0.003). The results of logistic regression revealed that VO (OR = 2.01, 95% CI 1.17 ~ 3.48, P = 0.012), operation time ≥ 4 h (OR = 2.52, 95% CI 1.60 ~ 3.97, P < 0.001), smoking (OR = 2.04, 95% CI 1.16 ~ 3.59, P = 0.014), ostomy (OR = 1.65, 95% CI 1.04 ~ 2.61, P = 0.033), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (OR = 2.23, 95% CI 1.09 ~ 4.57, P = 0.029) were independent risk factors. The light gradient boosting machine (LGBM) model displayed the largest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) (0.74, 95% CI 0.68 ~ 0.81). CONCLUSIONS In this study, VO was superior to BMI in evaluating the influence of obesity on metabolic comorbidities and postoperative infectious complications in colorectal cancer patients.

[PMID: 37046761 PMCID: PMC10093354 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15072100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
We investigated the impact of the difference in fat distribution between men and women on long-term prognosis after gastrectomy in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Patients with advanced gastric cancer deeper than p-T2 who underwent gastrectomy between April 2008 and June 2018 were included. Visceral fat mass index (VFI) and subcutaneous fat mass index (SFI) were calculated by dividing the cross-sectional area at the umbilical level by the height squared. The medians of VFI and SFI by sex were defined as cut-off values, below which values were defined as low VFI and low SFI. Of the 485 patients, 323 (66.6%) were men and 162 (33.4%) were women. Men with a low VFI had a significantly worse overall survival (OS) (p = 0.004) and women with a low SFI had a significantly worse OS (p = 0.007). Patients with a low VFI and low SFI had the worst prognosis. Multivariate analysis showed that a low VFI was an independent poor prognostic factor in men, while a low SFI was an independent poor prognostic factor in women. In conclusion, a low visceral fat mass in men and a low subcutaneous fat mass in women were independent poor prognostic factors after radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer.

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

Jejunal Mesentery Preservation Reduces Leakage at Esophagojejunostomy After Minimally Invasive Total Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: a Propensity Score-Matched Cohort Study. J Gastrointest Surg 2022; 26:2460-2469. [PMID: 36279091 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-022-05494-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The mesentery of the jejunum (MJ) of the Roux limb is conventionally divided when Roux-en-Y reconstruction is performed after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC). However, the impact of dividing or preserving the MJ on anastomotic leakage (AL) at the esophagojejunostomy (EJS) site after minimally invasive total gastrectomy for GC is unclear. METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled 226 patients with GC who underwent EJS after laparoscopic or robotic total gastrectomy, including preservation of the MJ (n = 87) and division of the MJ (n = 137). The prevalence of anastomotic complications at the EJS and short-term outcomes were compared between groups using propensity score (PS) matching. RESULTS After PS matching, 69 patients were selected for the preserving and dividing MJ groups. There were no significant intergroup differences in patient backgrounds, including oncological stage, body mass index, and gender ratio. After PS matching, overall and severe complications after surgery were compared between the preserving and dividing MJ groups (21.7% vs. 27.5%, p = 0.554 and 8.7% vs. 13.8%, p = 0.137, respectively). However, the rate of AL at the EJS was significantly lower in the preserving than that in the dividing MJ group (1.4% vs. 13.0%, p = 0.017). In addition, the median postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the preserving than that in the dividing MJ group (13.0 days vs. 16.0 days, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Preserving the MJ significantly reduced AL at the EJS after minimally invasive total gastrectomy for GC.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer surgery for obese patients is regarded as a technically challenging procedure. The morbidity after gastrectomy has been reported to be significantly higher in patients with high visceral fat area (VFA). Robotic gastrectomy (RG) is expected to be advantageous for complicated operations. However, whether RG is superior to conventional laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for patients with visceral fat obesity remains unclear. The present study aimed to clarify the impact of RG on the short- and long-term outcomes of patients with high VFAs. METHODS This study included 1306 patients with clinical stage I/II gastric cancer who underwent minimally invasive gastrectomy between January 2012 and December 2020. The patients were subclassified according to VFA. The short- and long-term outcomes of RG were compared with those of LG in two VFA categories. RESULTS This study included 394 (high-VFA, 151; low-VFA, 243) and 882 patients (high-VFA, 366; low-VFA, 516) in the RG and LG groups, respectively. RG was associated with a significantly longer operative time than LG (high-VFA, P < 0.001; low-VFA, P < 0.001). The incidence rates of overall and intra-abdominal infectious complications in the high-VFA patients were lower in the RG group than in the LG group (P = 0.019 and P = 0.048, respectively) but not significantly different from those in the low-VFA patients. In the multivariate analysis, LG was identified as the only independent risk factor of overall (odds ratio [OR] 3.281; P = 0.012) and intra-abdominal infectious complications (OR 3.462; P = 0.021) in the high-VFA patients. The overall survival of high-VFA patients was significantly better in the RG group than in the LG group (P = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS For patients with visceral fat obesity, RG appears to be advantageous to LG in terms of reducing the risk of complications and better long-term survival.

A Simple Predictive Index of the Abdominal Shape for Postoperative Complications After Laparoscopy-Assisted Distal Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer. Front Surg 2021; 8:768434. [PMID: 34957204 PMCID: PMC8692270 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2021.768434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of abdominal shape on the short-term surgical outcomes. Methods: This was a retrospective study that included 425 patients undergoing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy plus D2 lymph node dissection (LADG) from January 2013 to January 2021. The abdominal parameters, including the shortest distance of the pancreas from the anterior abdominal skin (PAAD), the lower sternum angle (LSA), the thickness of the subcutaneous fat at the navel level (SFT), the anteroposterior diameters (APD) and the left-right diameters (LRD) at the navel level, the distance from the xiphoid process to the navel (XND) and the distance from the xiphoid process to the pubis (XBD), were calculated by preoperative abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging. The parameters and short-term surgical outcomes were analyzed. Results: In males, the number of retrieved lymph nodes was significantly higher in patients with a lower APD group (p = 0.031). The operation time was significantly shorter in the lower body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.007), lower LSA (p = 0.035), lower PAAD (p = 0.000), lower SFT (p = 0.004), lower APD (p = 0.000) and lower LRD (p = 0.014) groups. The estimated blood loss was significantly less in the lower BMI (p = 0.035), lower LSA (p = 0.001), lower PAAD (p = 0.012), lower SFT (p = 0.003), lower APD (p = 0.000) and lower LRD (p = 0.005) groups. The complications were fewer in the lower LSA (p = 0.012), lower APD (p = 0.043) and lower LRD (p = 0.023) groups. In females, the postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the lower PAAD (p = 0.027) and lower SFT (p = 0.004) groups, and the lower SFT group had fewer complications (p = 0.020). Furthermore, in multivariate analysis, higher PAAD (p = 0.037, odds ratio = 1.030, 95% CI = 1.002-1.059) was an independent factor for predicting postoperative complications in males. Conclusion: Various abdominal shapes can affect the difficulty of LADG. Higher PAAD is a simple independent index for predicting postoperative complications in males.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A recent increase in the number of surgeries performed on obese patents has raised several issues. In this study, we examined the effects of obesity on laparoscopic and open distal gastrectomy. METHODS A totalof 262 patients with gastric cancer (cStageI) who underwent distal gastrectomy were classified into open distal gastrectomy (ODG) (145 patients) and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) (117 patients) groups. According to their body mass index (BMI), they were subdivided into obese (BMI ≥ 25) and non-obese patients (BMI < 25) to examine the duration of surgery, blood loss, the number of lymph node dissections, postoperative hospital stay, and incidence of postoperative complications. RESULTS The duration of surgery was longer and blood loss was higher for obese patients than for non-obese patients in both groups. The results for these two endpoints were significantly reduced in the LDG group than in the ODG group both in obese and non-obese patients. Furthermore, the number of lymph nodes dissected tended to be higher in the LDG group than in the ODG group in obese patients. Postoperative hospital stay was not significantly different between obese and non-obese patients in both groups, but was significantly shorter in the LDG group than in the ODG group regardless of the body weight. The incidence of postoperative complications was significantly higher in obese patients than in non-obese patients, although the difference between the groups was not significant. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that LDG may be useful for obese patients with cStageI gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of overweight gastric cancer patients who are undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) has increased in Japan. However, the relationship between obesity and surgical outcomes of LG remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of visceral fat area (VFA) on surgical outcomes of LG for gastric cancer compared to the body mass index (BMI). METHODS This study was a retrospective, cohort study that included 587 patients who underwent LG in our institution between January 2015 and December 2019. The patients were divided into two groups according to VFA (< 100 cm2 and ≥ 100 cm2) and BMI (< 25 kg/m2 and ≥ 25 kg/m2) values, respectively. Surgical outcomes and postoperative complications were compared between the low and high groups for each VFA and BMI value. Propensity score matching was used to minimize potential selection bias. RESULTS After propensity score matching, 144 pairs of patients in the VFA group and 82 pairs of patients in the BMI group were extracted. Operative time (p = 0.003), intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.0006), and CRP levels on postoperative day 1 (p = 0.002) and on postoperative day 3 (p = 0.004) were significantly higher in the high-VFA group than in the low-VFA group. However, these surgical outcomes were not significantly different between the high-BMI and low-BMI groups. There was no strong correlation between VFA and BMI (R2 = 0.64). There were no significant differences in postoperative complications between the high and low groups for both VFA and BMI values. On multivariate analysis, high VFA was an independent predictor of operative time, but it was not significantly associated with the incidence of postoperative complications. CONCLUSION VFA is a better indicator of longer operative time than BMI. However, increased VFA did not affect postoperative complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surgical site infections (SSI) are a common post-operative complication, which increase cost, length of stay, and morbidity. Many risk factors have been, identified including body mass index (BMI). The purpose of this study was to evaluate, whether nuchal thickness rather than BMI increases risk for post-operative SSI in, posterior approach cervical spine operations. METHODS A retrospective review of 180 patients who underwent posterior cervical spine, surgery at the University of Florida was performed. Nuchal thickness was measured, from the ventral most point of the spinous process of C5 to the skin on mid-sagittal preoperative, imaging. Diabetes status, BMI, smoking status, duration of anesthesia, prior, operations, and subcutaneous layer thickness was also collected. Infections were, identified according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) definitions for SSI. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed by a biostatistician. RESULTS Twenty patients (11%) had SSI. Smoking status, nuchal thickness of greater, than 55 mm or less than 29.8 mm, and subcutaneous fat thickness were all associated, with SSI. Age (OR 0.99, p = 0.45), diabetes (OR 0.50, p = 0.37), BMI (OR 1.03, p = 0.35), and use of intraoperative antibiotic powder (OR 0.62, p = 0.35) were not associated with, infection. On multivariate analysis (adjusted for smoking status), nuchal thickness, (p < 0.0001), subcutaneous fat thickness (p < 0.0001), and the ratio of subcutaneous fat to, nuchal thickness (p < 0.0001) all remained associated with SSI. CONCLUSIONS Nuchal thickness and subcutaneous fat thickness are associated with SSI, in patients undergoing posterior cervical spine surgery. Risk of infection increases with very thin and very thick nuchal measurements.

Abstract
Background Obesity can affect postoperative outcomes of gastrectomy. Visceral fat area is superior to body mass index in predicting postoperative complications. However, visceral fat area measurement is time-consuming and is not optimum for clinical use. Meanwhile, trunk fat volume (TFV) can be easily measured via bioelectrical impedance analysis. Hence, the current study aimed to determine the ability of TFV to predict the occurrence of complications after gastrectomy. Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer between November 2016 and November 2019. The trunk fat volume-to-the ideal amount (%TFV) ratio was obtained using InBody 770 before surgery. The patients were classified into the obese and nonobese groups according to %TFV (TFV-H group, ≥ 150%; TFV-L group, < 150%) and body mass index (BMI-H group, ≥ 25 kg/m2; BMI-L group, < 25 kg/m2). We compared the short-term postoperative outcomes (e.g., operative time, blood loss volume, number of resected lymph nodes, and duration of hospital stay) between the obese and nonobese patients. Risk factors for complications were assessed using logistic regression analysis. Results In total, 232 patients were included in this study. The TFV-H and BMI-H groups had a significantly longer operative time than the TFV-L (p = 0.022) and BMI-L groups (p = 0.006). Moreover, the TFV-H group had a significantly higher complication rate (p = 0.004) and a lower number of resected lymph nodes (p < 0.001) than the TFV-L group. In the univariate analysis, %TFV ≥ 150, total or proximal gastrectomy, and open gastrectomy were found to be potentially associated with higher complication rates (p < 0.1 for all). Moreover, the multivariate analysis revealed that %TFV ≥ 150 (OR: 2.73; 95% CI: 1.37–5.46; p = 0.005) and total or proximal gastrectomy (OR: 3.57; 95% CI: 1.79–7.12; p < 0.001) were independently correlated with postoperative morbidity. Conclusions %TFV independently affected postoperative complications. Hence, it may be a useful parameter for the evaluation of obesity and a predictor of complications after gastrectomy.

Impact of visceral adipose tissue on compliance of adjuvant chemotherapy and relapse-free survival after gastrectomy for gastric cancer: A propensity score matching analysis. Clin Nutr 2021; 40:2745-2753. [PMID: 33933740 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2021.04.019] [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: 02/13/2021] [Revised: 03/28/2021] [Accepted: 04/10/2021] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS It has been reported that skeletal muscle mass loss during adjuvant chemotherapy and preoperative reduced skeletal muscle mass are associated with discontinuation of adjuvant chemotherapy. However, the relationship between visceral fat mass and compliance has not yet been investigated. In this study, we clarified the impact of low preoperative visceral fat mass on compliance and relapse-free survival (RFS) in gastric cancer patients. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy for pathological stages II and III, and who received postoperative S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy between April 2008 and April 2017. Treatment failure was defined as discontinuation of adjuvant chemotherapy within 1 year. Visceral fat mass was measured preoperatively at the umbilical level on computed tomography, which was divided by height (m2) to obtain the visceral adipose tissue index (VAI). Patients with a VAI below the median cut-off value were categorized as low-VAI, while those above the cut-off value were classified as high-VAI. We compared the treatment failure rate and RFS in the low-VAI and high-VAI groups after adjusting for group differences with propensity score matching. In addition, risk factors related to treatment failure and poor prognostic factors for RFS were analyzed in multivariate analyses that included all cases. RESULTS Among all 263 patients, treatment failure and recurrence were observed in 44 patients (16.7%) and 90 patients (34.2%), respectively. The median follow-up period was 52 months. After propensity matching, there were 101 patients in both low -and high-VAI groups. Treatment failure rate was higher (P = 0.037) and RFS was worse (P = 0.025) in the low-VAI group. In multivariate analyses, low-VAI was an independent risk factor associated with treatment failure (odds ratio (OR): 2.360, 95% CI: 1.120-5.000, P = 0.025), and was a poor prognostic factor for RFS (hazards ratio (HR):1.652, 95% CI: 1.057-2.582, P = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative low visceral fat mass was an independent risk factor for poor compliance with adjuvant chemotherapy and a poor prognostic factor for RFS after radical gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients. Preoperative evaluation using body composition may be useful for post-treatment and prognosis prediction.

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2020; 256:425-432. [PMID: 33307325 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2020.11.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2020] [Revised: 11/14/2020] [Accepted: 11/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is an important risk factor for the development of endometrial cancer (EC). Recent data showed that body fat distribution might be more relevant than Body Mass Index (BMI). High visceral fat percentage was shown to be an independent predictor for survival in EC, but mainly included grade 1-2 EC. OBJECTIVE To evaluate body fat distribution and its relation to outcome in high-grade endometrial cancer. METHODS Retrospective study in women diagnosed with high-grade EC between February 2006 and August 2017 at the Royal Cornwall Hospital who had abdominal CT-scan as part of routine diagnostic work-up. Subcutaneous abdominal fat volumes and visceral abdominal fat volumes were quantified based on CT-scan measurements, and visceral fat percentage calculated. RESULTS A total of 176 patients with high-grade EC were included. The median age was 70 years and median BMI was 29.4 kg/m2. The majority of patients had non-endometrioid endometrial cancer (NEEC; 62 %). High visceral fat percentage was associated with poor overall- and disease-specific survival (p = 0.006 and p = 0.026 respectively) in NEEC patients, but not in high-grade endometrioid EC (EEC). The most frequent obesity comorbidities hypertension and diabetes mellitus were significantly associated with high BMI and high visceral fat percentage. CONCLUSION In high-grade EC, high visceral fat percentage was an independent predictor of poor survival only in NEEC. The strong correlation between high visceral fat and obesity-related comorbidities might be reflective of an unhealthy macroenvironment.

J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:1924-1927.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although obesity is a risk factor for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the role of soft tissue thickness (STT) at the surgical site has not been well studied. This study examined if increased STT in the medial and anterior aspects of the knee are independent risk factors for PJI. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 206 patients who underwent 2-stage exchange arthroplasty for PJI from 2000 to 2015. They were matched 1:3 to a control group of primary, noninfected TKA patients with minimum 2 years infection-free survival by age, gender, age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index, date of surgery, and body mass index (BMI). Two blinded orthopedic surgeons measured the medial STT from the medial aspect of the knee at the level of the joint line on an anteroposterior radiograph, and anterior STT 8 cm above the joint line on a lateral radiograph from the skin to the quadriceps tendon. RESULTS Increased STT was significantly associated with a higher risk for PJI. The mean anterior STT was 29.74 ± 13.76 mm in the PJI group and 24.88 ± 9.76 mm in the control group. The mean medial STT was 42.42 ± 14.66 mm for PJI and 37.27 ± 12.51 mm for control. Both STT measurements were significantly higher in PJI cases with BMI <30 kg/m2 vs control patients with BMI <30 kg/m2. CONCLUSION Anterior and medial knee STT was an independent risk factor for PJI after primary TKA and represents a simple radiographic method to assess postoperative infection risk. Excess adipose tissue around the surgical site can predispose patients to PJI after TKA regardless of BMI.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the influence of visceral fat area on postoperative C-reactive protein levels and whether it affects its ability to diagnose infectious complications after laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy. METHODS A total of 435 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopy-assisted resection for gastric cancer from 2008 to 2017 were reviewed and divided into four groups according to visceral fat area quartiles. We evaluated the relationship between C-reactive protein and visceral fat area and whether visceral fat area affects the sensitivity and specificity of C-reactive protein in diagnosing postoperative infectious complications. RESULTS Postoperative C-reactive protein levels increased with increasing visceral fat areas at every postoperative assessment. Multiple linear regression revealed that levels on postoperative day 3 significantly positively correlated with visceral fat area. Postoperative day 3 levels also showed moderate accuracy for diagnosing infectious complications (area under the curve, 0.78; sensitivity, 0.86; specificity, 0.65), with an optimal cut-off of 11.8 mg/dL. The sensitivity for predicting infectious complications was low in the 1st visceral fat area quartile group but high in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th groups (0.43 vs 1.0 vs 1.0 vs 0.94, respectively). By contrast, the specificity was high in the 1st and 2nd group but low in the 3rd and 4th (0.84 vs 0.70 vs 0.54 vs 0.48, respectively). CONCLUSION Visceral fat area positively correlated with postoperative C-reactive protein levels and this affected its accuracy in diagnosing infectious complications. A uniform C-reactive protein cut-off may not provide accurate predictions in patients with more extreme visceral fat areas.

Mixed Type Histology as a Predictive Factor for Esophagojejunostomy Leak in Advanced Gastric Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12061701. [PMID: 32604802 PMCID: PMC7352589 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12061701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Accepted: 06/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Since esophagojejunostomy leak (EJL) after gastrectomy is a potentially fatal complication and may impact the survival of patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC), it is important to establish risk factors for the EJL and to prevent this surgical complication. The aim of this study was analysis of predictors for the postoperative clinically apparent EJL. All patients operated for advanced GC between October 2016 and December 2019 were analyzed from a prospectively maintained database. The evaluation of the EJL and postoperative complications according to the demographic and clinical (categorized) variables was performed with odds ratio test (multivariate analysis was performed with the use of logistic regression method). Among the 114 patients included in the study, 71.1% received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 19.3% underwent gastrectomy followed by the hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Postoperative EJL was found in 4.6% patients. The risk of EJL was significantly higher for mixed-type GC (OR = 12.45, 95% CI: 1.03-150.10; p = 0.0472). The risk of other postoperative complications was significantly higher in patients undergoing HIPEC (OR = 3.88, 95% CI: 1.40-10.80, p = 0.0094). The number of lymph nodes removed (>38) was characterized by 80% sensitivity and 79.6% specificity in predicting EJL (AUC = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.72-0.87; p < 0.0001). Mixed histological type of GC is a tumor-related risk factor for the EJL. HIPEC was confirmed to be a risk factor for postoperative complications after gastrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity may impact surgical outcomes of gastrectomy. Whether visceral fat area (VFA) is a better obesity parameter than body mass index (BMI) is still controversial. The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy and effectiveness of VFA and BMI in predicting the short-term surgical outcomes of gastrectomy. METHODS Patients who were diagnosed with gastric cancer were measured for BMI and VFA preoperatively and then divided into a VFA-H (VFA-high) group and VFA-L (VFA-low) group, at the cutoff point of 100 cm2, and a BMI-H (BMI-high) group and BMI-L (BMI-low) group, at the cutoff point of 25 kg/m2. The short-term surgical outcomes were compared between the different groups. RESULTS In total, 276 patients were enrolled in this study; 55 (19.9%) patients were classified into the BMI-H group, and 122 (44.2%) patients were classified into the VFA-H group. There was a significant correlation between BMI and VFA (r = 0.652, p < 0.001). Compared with the VFA-L group, the VFA-H group had a higher incidence of postoperative complications (31.1% vs. 13.0%; p < 0.001), longer operation duration (270.0 (235.0-305.0) vs. 255.0 (223.8-295.0), p = 0.046), and more blood loss (100.0 (100.0-150.0) vs. 80.0 (80.0-100.0), p < 0.001), while the BMI-H group had more blood loss than the BMI-L group (100.0 (100.0-120.0) vs. 100.0(80.0-100.0), p = 0.006). Logistic regression showed that VFA was an independent risk factor for postoperative complications (odds ratio 2.813, 95% CI 1.523-5.194; p = 0.001). CONCLUSION For gastric cancer patients, VFA is superior to BMI in accurately and effectively illuminating the impact of obesity on short-term surgical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anterior knee subcutaneous thickness has been associated with increased risk of early reoperation for surgical site infection after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in morbidly obese patients. However, most patients undergoing TKA are not morbidly obese. The aims of this study were to (1) assess the association between anterior knee subcutaneous thickness and early superficial wound complications and (2) determine a threshold value for anterior knee subcutaneous thickness measures that can assist in preoperative risk stratification in nonmorbidly obese TKA patients. METHODS Using retrospective analysis, we reviewed 494 primary TKAs performed in patients with a body mass index <40 kg/m2 at our institution from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2017. All patients developing a superficial surgical site infection within 90 days of index arthroplasty requiring treatment with antibiotics or reoperation were identified. Prepatellar thickness and pretubercular thickness were measured on preoperative lateral radiographs and associated with 90-day superficial wound complications. RESULTS Sixty-two of the 494 patients developed a superficial wound complication within 90 days of index arthroplasty. TKA patients in the superficial wound complication group had significantly less pretubercular thickness (P = .027). Risk of developing 90-day superficial wound complication was 1.85-fold lower when pretubercular thickness was ≥12 mm (P = .028). Prepatellar thickness (P = .895) was not significantly associated with superficial wound complications. CONCLUSION Increased pretubercular thickness is a protective factor for developing superficial wound complications, with 12 mm being an ideal threshold value for preoperative risk stratification in nonmorbidly obese patients undergoing primary TKA surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity has been reported to be a prognostic factor for many diseases in epidemiological studies; however, the results of studies examining the relationship between obesity and gastric cancer (GC) prognosis are inconsistent. METHODS A total of 460 patients with Stage II and III GC who underwent open R0 gastrectomy were included. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI classified into < 18.5, 18.5-25, and ≥ 25 kg/m2), stage, and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were analyzed to investigate the correlation with relapse-free survival (RFS). RESULTS Five-year RFS was 51% for the study patients. Five-year RFS values were 47.6%, 54.3%, and 40.1% for patients with BMI < 18.5, 18.5-25, and ≥ 25 kg/m2, respectively. The forest plot for relapse risk according to BMI showed a U shape. Multivariate analysis for RFS showed significant differences in stage and BMI; the hazard ratio for recurrence in patients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 was 1.42 (95% confidence interval: 1.01-2.02, p = 0.0423) with reference to patients with BMI < 25 kg/m2. BMI ≥ 25.0 was associated with longer operation times, more blood loss, fewer lymph nodes dissected, more frequent postoperative surgical site infection, and intra-abdominal abscesses. CONCLUSIONS BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 is an unfavorable prognostic factor for patients who underwent gastrectomy for Stage II and III GC.

Body Fat Area as a Predictive Marker of New-Onset Diabetes Mellitus After Kidney Transplantation. Transplant Proc 2019; 51:3281-3285. [PMID: 31635839 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2019.08.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2019] [Accepted: 08/30/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND New-onset diabetes after kidney transplantation (NODAT) adversely affects patient survival. Excessive fat accumulation is generally considered a risk factor of NODAT. Body mass index (BMI) and abdominal circumference (AC) are frequently used to assess fat accumulation but cannot directly measure it. This study measured body fat area (BFA) via computed tomography and aimed to clarify whether preoperative BFA can predict the development of NODAT more accurately than BMI and AC. METHODS This retrospective study included 62 patients without diabetes mellitus who received living-donor kidney transplantation at our institute between July 2005 and April 2016. We investigated the association between preoperative BMI, AC, and BFA and the development of NODAT. RESULTS Eight patients (12.9%) developed NODAT during a mean follow-up period of 78.1 months. The preoperative BMI, AC, and BFA were markedly higher in NODAT patients than in patients without NODAT (P = .05, P = .02, P < .01, respectively). Correlation analyses revealed that BFA had a strong relationship with BMI (r = 0.68, P < .01) and AC (r = 0.77, P < .01). Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses demonstrated that BFA, compared to BMI and AC, had considerable predictive accuracy for the development of NODAT, with an area under the curve of 0.803 (sensitivity 75%, specificity 87%). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative BFA could be a predictive marker of NODAT in renal graft recipients. Our findings underline the importance of routine preoperative BFA measurements in clinical practice.

[PMID: 30317492 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-018-1726-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2018] [Accepted: 09/27/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage (EJAL) is a serious complication of total or proximal gastrectomy for gastric cancer, with a reported incidence of 2.1-14.6% and mortality of up to 50%. EJAL is an independent prognostic factor for the poor survival of gastric cancer patients. Meticulous surgical techniques, experience with anastomotic devices, and a thorough understanding of various risk factors and preventive measures are essential and early diagnosis is critical for preventing EJAL-related death. Patients with suspected EJAL must be evaluated promptly, but contrast swallow is not recommended. There is no standard treatment strategy for EJAL, although conservative treatment with drainage and nutritional support is the most common approach. Effective endoscopic treatments have been reported but need further validation. Surgical treatment is associated with high mortality but should be considered to prevent death from suboptimal EJAL management, for patients with severe sepsis or when conservative treatment has failed.

Prediction of the Risk of Laparoscopy-Assisted Gastrectomy by Comparing Visceral Fat Area and Body Mass Index. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2018; 2018:1359626. [PMID: 30302088 PMCID: PMC6158961 DOI: 10.1155/2018/1359626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2017] [Revised: 06/09/2018] [Accepted: 08/01/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Propose The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of visceral fat area (VFA) and body mass index (BMI) in predicting the risk of laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy. Methods Clinicopathological and imaging data of 133 patients who underwent laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy were recorded, including 17 cases of conversion to open surgery. The remaining 116 patients were retrospectively analyzed after we excluded 17 patients who had been transferred to laparotomy. The patients were divided into two groups according to BMI (≤25 kg/m2: BMI-L group; >25 kg/m2: BMI-H group) and VFA (≤100 cm2: VFA-L group; >100 cm2: VFA-H group). Clinical outcomes were compared between the BMI and VFA subgroups. Results There were no differences in intraoperative blood loss and the number of harvested lymph nodes between low and high patients defined by BMI and VFA (p > 0.050). However, in the comparison of patients who underwent laparoscopic resection only, it was found that the operation time and intraoperative blood loss of the VFA-H group were more than those of the VFA-L group (p < 0.050). Compared to the VFA-L group, the VFA-H group had later first exhaust time (p = 0.018), more complications (p < 0.001), and longer hospital stays (p = 0.049). However, no similar conclusion was obtained in the BMI group (p > 0.050). Conclusion This study demonstrates that VFA better evaluates the difficulty of laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy and the risk of postoperative complications than BMI.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the changes in blood glucose of elderly patients with gastric cancer combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after radical operation. Forty-six patients in DM group and 30 patients in non-DM group underwent radical surgery between January, 2007 and January, 2017 in The First Hospital of Lanzhou University, and the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Statistical analysis was conducted to explore the effect of radical operation on blood glucose control of the two groups of patients. In 46 patients with gastric cancer combined with T2DM, 24 patients received postoperative insulin intervention, and the remaining 22 patients did not receive insulin intervention. This latter set of patients comprised the non-insulin treatment group. Blood glucose control conditions, inflammatory markers, tumor markers and their effects on the prognosis were compared between the two groups. Level of postoperative blood glucose of the DM group was significantly higher than that of the non-DM group (P<0.05), while the level of blood glucose in the insulin treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Levels of related tumor markers and inflammatory factors of insulin treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The 5-year survival rate of insulin treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Our results showed that the level of blood glucose was significantly increased in elderly patients with gastric cancer combined with T2DM after radical operation, and levels of blood glucose, tumor markers and inflammatory factors in elderly gastric cancer patients with T2DM without insulin were significantly increased after radical operation, and long-term prognosis is poor.

High Visceral to Subcutaneous Fat Ratio Is Associated with Increased Postoperative Inflammatory Response after Colorectal Resection in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2018; 2018:6270514. [PMID: 29849595 PMCID: PMC5903301 DOI: 10.1155/2018/6270514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2017] [Revised: 12/16/2017] [Accepted: 01/22/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Aim Excessive postoperative inflammatory response, which is characterized by overproduction of cytokines, often leads to complications after colorectal surgery. However, the impact of body composition on postoperative inflammatory response is largely unknown. The aim of this study is to elucidate whether body fat amount and its distribution affects postoperative inflammation after colorectal surgery in IBD patients. Methods Eighty-six patients undergoing colorectal resection for IBD from June 2014 to Jan 2017 were enrolled. Abdominal CT images within one week prior to surgery were assessed for visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and muscle mass. Postoperative inflammatory response was evaluated using serum CRP, PCT, and IL-6 levels on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5. Univariate analysis was conducted to identify risk factors for infectious complications. The correlation between body composition and postoperative plasma concentration of inflammatory markers was analyzed using a linear regression model. ROC curve was applied to analyze the effect of different body composition parameters on postoperative infectious complications and to determine the relationship between inflammatory markers and infectious complications. Results Neither volume of fat or muscle was related to postoperative plasma concentrations of CRP, IL-6, and PCT. However, visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio was associated with PCT levels on postoperative days (POD) 1, 3, and 5, with the highest regression coefficient on POD1 (β = 0.360; 95% CI, 0.089–0.631; P = 0.010). Body composition did not predict postoperative infectious complications, while CRP on POD 3 was predictive of infectious complications. Conclusion Increased visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio was associated with postoperative inflammatory response in IBD patients undergoing colorectal resection. This may partly explain the increased incidence of postoperative complications in patients with visceral obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the relationship between intra-abdominal infection (IAI) and sarcopenia prospectively and to construct a nomogram to identify patients at a high risk of IAI. METHODS We conducted a prospective study of 682 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy. The sarcopenia elements, including lumbar skeletal muscle index, handgrip strength, and gait speed, were measured before surgery. Factors contributing to IAI were determined through univariate and multivariate analysis. A nomogram consisting of the independent risk factors was constructed to quantify the individual risk of IAI. RESULTS Of the 682 patients enrolled in this study, 132 patients were diagnosed with sarcopenia and 61 were diagnosed with IAI. Logistic analysis revealed that sarcopenia, tumor size, pathological type, and multivisceral resection were independent prognostic factors for IAI. The nomogram model for IAI was able to reliably quantify the risk of IAI with a strong optimism-adjusted discrimination (concordance index, 0.736). CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia is an independent predictor of IAI. Our nomogram was a simple and practical instrument to quantify the individual risk of IAI and could be used to identify patients at a high risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the impact of visceral fat on surgical complications and long-term survival for patients undergoing radical gastrectomy. SUBJECTS/METHODS From 2009 to 2013, 859 patients who underwent curative resection for gastric cancer were enrolled from a prospectively maintained database. Visceral fat area (VFA) was assessed by preoperative CT scans. Patients were divided into two groups by VFA. Perioperative variables and postoperative outcomes were compared between the high VFA group and low VFA group. Univariable and multivariable analysis were performed to investigate independent risk factors of postoperative complications and survival. RESULTS Some 859 patients were included in the study, 308 of whom were classified as high VFA. High VFA was correlated with advance age (P = 0.020), higher albumin levels (P = 0.001), hemoglobin levels (P < 0.05), ASA grade (P = 0.043) and Charlson Comorbidity Index (P = 0.004). Relative to patients with low VFA, those with high VFA had longer surgical durations (P = 0.004), higher rate of postoperative complications (P = 0.004), and longer hospital stays (P = 0.004). High VFA was identified as the only determinant for surgical complications by logistic regression analysis (OR, 2.236, 95% CI, 1.537-3.254; P < 0.001). Cox proportional hazards regression revealed no correlation between VFA and overall survival (OS) or disease-free survival (DFS). CONCLUSIONS Increased VFA independently predicts surgical complications in patients after gastrectomy. However, VFA is not a prognostic biomarker of OS or DFS in patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
In recent years, both the actual number of overweight/obese individuals and their proportion of the population have steadily been rising worldwide and obesity-related diseases have become major health concerns. In addition, as obesity is associated with an increased incidence of gastroenterological cancer, the number of obese patients has also been increasing in the field of gastroenterological surgery. While the influence of obesity on gastroenterological surgery has been widely studied, very few reports have focused on individual organs or surgical procedures, using a cross-sectional study design. In the present review, we aimed to summarize the impacts of obesity on surgeries for the esophagus, stomach, colorectum, liver and pancreas. In general, obesity prolongs operative time. As to short-term postoperative outcomes, obesity might be a risk for certain complications, depending on the procedure carried out. In contrast, it is possible that obesity doesn't adversely impact long-term surgical outcomes. The influences of obesity on surgery are made even more complex by various categories of operative outcomes, surgical procedures, and differences in obesity among races. Therefore, it is important to appropriately evaluate perioperative risk factors, including obesity.

Abstract
Esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage (EJAL) is considered to be one of the most serious complications after total gastrectomy (TG), despite improvements in surgical instruments and technique. The occurrence of EJAL would cause poorer quality of life, prolonged hospital stay, and increased surgery-related costs and mortality. Although there is ever-increasing knowledge about EJAL, the optimal management is controversial. In the present review, we aim to demonstrate the effective management by focus on the possible risk factors, potentially useful preventive strategies, and several kinds of treatments in esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The study aimed to investigate the relationship between obesity and postsurgical gastroparesis syndrome (PGS), and to construct a scoring system and a risk model to identify patients at high risk. METHODS A total of 634 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical characteristics were evaluated via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Logistic analysis was performed to determine the independent predictive indicators of PGS. A scoring system consisting of these indicators and a risk-rating model were constructed and evaluated via ROC curve analysis. RESULTS Based on the ROC curves, the visceral fat area (VFA) cutoff value for PGS was 94.00. Logistic analysis showed that visceral obesity (VFA ≥ 94.00 cm2 ), the reconstruction technique, and tumor size were independent prognostic factors for PGS. The scoring system could predict PGS reliably with a high area under the ROC curve ([AUC] = 0.769). A high-risk rating had a high AUC (AUC I = 0.56, AUC II = 0.65, and AUC III = 0.77), indicating that the risk-rating model could effectively screen patients at high risk of PGS. CONCLUSIONS Visceral obesity defined by VFA effectively predicted PGS. Our scoring system may be a reliable instrument for identifying patients most at risk of PGS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infection, particularly intra-abdominal infection (IAI), remains a clinically important event after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The aim of this retrospective study was to clarify the incidence, pathogens, risk factors and outcomes of IAI following gastrectomy for gastric cancer. METHODS The study cohort was 1835 patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer from January 2011 through December 2016. The incidence, pathogens, and treatment outcomes of IAI were examined, and the risk factors were identified using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS In total, 73 patients (4.0%) developed IAI after radical gastrectomy. Bacterial culture in these patients showed that Gram-negative bacilli, such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia were the most common pathogens. Multivariate analysis identified that combined multi-organ resection (Odds Ratio [OR] = 2.262, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.114-4.596, P = 0.024), and body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2 (OR = 1.968, 95% CI: 1.107-3.500, P = 0.021) were independent risk factors. Three patients (4.1%) developed IAI who died from sepsis and/or multiple-organ failure, which was significantly higher than in the remaining 1762 patients without IAI (5 cases, 0.3%, P = 0.003). Moreover, IAI required more re-operations (5.5% vs 0.8%, P = 0.005) and longer post-operative hospital stays (23.3 days vs 11.2 days, P < 0.001) compared without IAI. CONCLUSIONS IAI is a major complication after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, and associated with combined multi-organ resection and a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2; thus, meticulous surgical procedures need to be performed in patients with these specific risk factors.

Abstract
Visceral obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) represent a constellation of inflammation, insulin resistance, and hyperglycemia and are established risk factors for gastrointestinal cancer. However, their impact on the immune and inflammatory response after major upper gastrointestinal oncologic surgery is unknown. In 125 consecutive patients who underwent esophagectomy, C-reactive protein (CRP) and CRP:albumin levels were recorded preoperatively and on days 1, 3, 7, and 14 postoperatively. In a subset of 30 patients, circulating levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, IFN-γ, TNF-α, TGF-β, and cortisol were measured. Incidences of postoperative complications were prospectively recorded. In the study cohort, 51% of patients were viscerally obese, 40.7% had MetSyn, and 33.6% were hyperglycemic. Viscerally obese and MetSyn-positive patients demonstrated greater postoperative CRP levels and CRP:albumin levels on day 7 and day 14 compared with nonobese and MetSyn-negative patients (P < 0.05). Higher postoperative circulating levels of cortisol were observed in the viscerally obese and hyperglycemic patients compared to nonobese and normoglycemic patients. No association was observed between visceral obesity, MetSyn or hyperglycemia, and postoperative cytokine profile. Viscerally obese patients had an increased overall incidence of postoperative complications compared to nonobese patients (67.2% vs. 47.5%, P = 0.031) on univariate but not multivariate analysis (P = 0.078) and visceral obesity was not associated with an increased incidence of specific complications. Visceral obesity, MetSyn, and hyperglycemia are prevalent in patients undergoing major upper gastrointestinal resection and are associated with an exaggerated acute-phase inflammatory response postoperatively. Further research is warranted to determine whether this association is directly causal.

Influence of Visceral Fat on Early Postoperative Outcomes After Distal and Total Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer. Int Surg 2017. [DOI: 10.9738/intsurg-d-16-00212.1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
We studied the influence of visceral fat area (VFA) on early postoperative outcomes separately after distal and total gastrectomy. The influence of obesity on outcomes might differ between distal and total gastrectomy, but few studies have directly compared the effects of VFA on early postoperative results between these 2 procedures. We reviewed clinical records of 124 patients with gastric cancer undergoing curative distal or total gastrectomy. Patients were classified into 2 groups: low (<100 cm2) or high (≥100 cm2) VFA. Patient characteristics and early postoperative outcomes were compared between 2 groups separately in distal or total gastrectomy. There were 77 and 47 patients who underwent distal and total gastrectomy, respectively. After distal gastrectomy, operation time (268 ± 44 versus 239 ± 39 minutes, P < 0.05) as well as blood loss (351 ± 231 versus 239 ± 147 mL, P < 0.05) was increased in the high VFA group (N = 32) compared to the low VFA group (N = 45), but morbidity rates did not differ between the 2 groups (50% versus 36%). After total gastrectomy; operation time (285 ± 42 versus 260 ± 53 minutes, P < 0.05); blood loss (427 ± 326 versus 280 ± 179 mL, P < 0.05); rate of morbidity (56% versus 24%, P < 0.05); and intra-abdominal infection (17% versus 0%, P < 0.05) were increased in the high VFA group (N = 18) compared to the low VFA group (N = 29). These results suggest that postoperative morbidity increases after total gastrectomy but not after distal gastrectomy in patients with excessive visceral fat.

Excessive visceral fat area as a risk factor for early postoperative complications of total gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a retrospective cohort study. BMC Surg 2016; 16:54. [PMID: 27494994 PMCID: PMC4974690 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-016-0168-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2016] [Accepted: 07/30/2016] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Obesity is a known risk factor for complications after digestive surgery. Body mass index (BMI) is commonly used as an index of obesity but does not always reflect the degree of obesity. Although some studies have shown that high visceral fat area (VFA) is associated with poor outcomes in digestive surgery, few have examined the relationship between VFA and total gastrectomy. In this study, we demonstrated that VFA is more useful than BMI in predicting complications after total gastrectomy. Methods Seventy-five patients who underwent total gastrectomy for gastric cancer were enrolled in this study; they were divided into two groups: a high-VFA group (n = 26, ≥100 cm2) and a low-VFA group (n = 49, <100 cm2). We retrospectively evaluated the preoperative characteristics and surgical outcomes of all patients and examined postoperative complications within 30 days of surgery (including cardiac complications, pneumonia, ileus, anastomotic leakage, pancreatic fistula, incisional surgical site infection [SSI], abdominal abscess, and hemorrhage). Results The incidence of anastomotic leakage (p = 0.03) and incisional SSI (p = 0.001) were higher in the high-VFA group than in the low-VFA group. No significant differences were observed in the other factors. We used univariate analysis to identify risk factors for anastomotic leakage and incisional SSI. Age and VFA were risk factors for anastomotic leakage, and BMI and VFA were risk factors for incisional SSI. A multivariate analysis including these factors found that only VFA was a predictor of anastomotic leakage (hazard ratio [HR] 4.62; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.02–21.02; p = 0.048) and incisional SSI (HR 4.32; 95 % CI 1.18–15.80; p = 0.027]. Conclusions High VFA is more useful than BMI in predicting anastomotic leakage and SSI after total gastrectomy. Therefore, we should consider the VFA value during surgery

J Arthroplasty 2016; 31:1788-91. [PMID: 26989030 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2016.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2015] [Revised: 12/28/2015] [Accepted: 02/01/2016] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Morbid obesity has been associated with increased complications after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but previous studies have failed to take factors such as body composition and fat distribution into consideration. The aims of this study were to (1) assess the interobservable and intraobservable reliabilities of measuring anterior knee subcutaneous fat thickness on lateral knee radiographs and (2) determine if these measurements associate with early complications in patients with morbid obesity. METHODS Using a retrospective case-control analysis, we reviewed 1689 primary TKAs performed in morbidly obese patients at our institution from 1995 to 2012. All patients (n = 58) who required reoperation for wound complication or infection within 90 days were compared to a matched cohort of morbidly obese patients who did not require early reoperation. Distances from patella skin (prepatellar thickness) and tibial tubercle skin (pretubercular thickness) were measured on routine lateral knee radiographs and associated with outcomes. RESULTS Intraobserver and interobserver reliabilities were excellent for both measurements. Knees in the reoperation group had significantly greater prepatellar (P = .0001) and pretubercular (P = .0006) soft tissue thickness. Prepatellar thickness ≥15 mm and pretubercular thickness ≥25 mm increased the risk of early reoperation by 2.0× (P = .0003) and 1.6× (P = .023), respectively, and were more predictive measurements than body mass index. CONCLUSION Anterior knee subcutaneous fat thickness can be reproducibly measured on lateral knee radiographs and is associated with a significantly increased risk of early reoperation for wound complications and infection after primary TKA in morbidly obese patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is a decrease in both muscle mass and strength. It remains unclear whether sarcopenia is associated with morbidity after gastric cancer surgery. This study evaluated the impact of sarcopenia on the morbidity of gastric cancer surgery. METHODS A total of 293 gastric cancer patients who underwent curative surgery between May 2011 and June 2013 were retrospectively examined. Patients with performance status 3 or 4 were excluded. Preoperative lean body mass (LBM) was evaluated by bioelectrical impedance analysis and expressed as LBM index. Preoperative muscle function was measured by hand grip strength (HGS). The cutoff values were the gender-specific lowest 20 %. Grade 2 or higher morbidities, as retrospectively evaluated by the Clavien-Dindo classification, were obtained from the patient record. The risk factors for morbidity were examined by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Morbidity was observed in 39 patients (13.3 %), including 7 with pancreatic leakage, 12 with anastomotic leakage, and 4 with intraabdominal abscesses, but no mortality was observed. The univariate analysis showed that male gender, total gastrectomy, splenectomy, and a low HGS were significant risk factors for morbidity. A low LBM was not a significant risk factor. A low HGS, male gender, and total gastrectomy remained significant in the multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS A low hand grip strength was a significant risk factor for morbidity after gastric cancer surgery. The importance of the hand grip strength as a risk factor should be examined in future prospective studies.

Ziegele M, King DM, Bedi M. Tumor volume is a better predictor of post-operative wound complications compared to tumor size in soft tissue sarcomas of the proximal lower extremity. Clin Sarcoma Res 2016; 6:1.

Abstract
Background Wide local excision with or without radiation therapy (RT) and chemotherapy is widely accepted as appropriate management for soft tissue sarcomas (STS) of the extremity. Although survival and local control rates are comparable to amputation, post-operative wound complications (WC) following limb salvage can result in significant morbidity for the patient. Certain risk factors such as location, pre-operative RT, and age have been shown to increase the risk of WCs. Somewhat surprisingly, size has not consistently been shown to impact WC rates. The goal of this study is to assess whether tumor volume, as opposed to the traditional measurement of the largest dimension in one plane, correlates with the development of post-operative WCs. Methods Between 2000 and 2013, 81 patients with STS of the proximal lower extremity, buttock and pelvis were retrospectively identified from our prospective database. We reviewed the impact of patient, tumor, and treatment variables on postoperative WC. Predictors for WC were evaluated using the Fisher exact test for univariate analysis and logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Tumor volume was determined using the medical image merge (MIM) ® software program (version 6.5.4, MIM Software, Cleveland, OH). Tumor size (diameter) was determined the historical way of measuring the widest dimension on the sagittal, coronal, and axial planes from the MRI scan at midplane. Results The overall WC rate within 6 months of tumor resection was 32 %. WC were more likely to occur with larger tumor volumes (p = 0.015), although not with tumor diameters ≥10 cm (p = 0.55). Neither volume of subcutaneous fat (p = 0.34) or depth of the subcutaneous fat layer (p = 0.82) significantly impacted WC rates. Tumor proximity to skin surface also did not significantly impact WC risk (p = 0.73). Conclusions Increase in tumor volume led to a higher risk of post-operative WCs. Assessing tumor volume may allow clinicians to better counsel patients on their risk of post-operative WCs. Tumor volume, as opposed to size alone, should be considered in future sarcoma outcome studies.

Robot-assisted gastrectomy for early gastric cancer: is it beneficial in viscerally obese patients compared to laparoscopic gastrectomy? World J Surg 2016; 39:1789-97.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The adoption of robotic systems for gastric cancer surgery has been proven feasible and safe; however, a benefit over the laparoscopic approach has not yet been well-documented. We aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer, according to the extent of surgery and patients' obesity status. METHODS Between January 2009 and July 2011, 770 patients were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. All had stage IA/IB gastric cancer preoperatively and underwent either laparoscopic (n = 622) or robotic (n = 148) gastrectomy. Patients were classified into obese and non-obese groups on the basis of visceral fat area (VFA). The extent of surgery was defined by whether patients underwent distal or total gastrectomy. RESULTS The surgical outcomes following distal gastrectomy were similar between the robotic and laparoscopic groups regardless of the obesity status. After total gastrectomy, the number of total and N2-area lymph nodes were significantly higher in the robotic group than in the laparoscopic group in non-obese patients with VFA < 100 cm(2) (total, 38.8 vs. 46.5; p = 0.018; N2 area, 9.0 vs. 12.4; p = 0.041), but no significant differences were observed in obese population. Robotic group developed less severe complications after total gastrectomy compared to laparoscopic group in non-obese patients (p = 0.036). CONCLUSION Robotic assistance did not improve surgical outcomes over the laparoscopic approach in obese patients undergoing distal gastrectomy. However, non-obese patients with low VFA may benefit from robotic assistance during total gastrectomy in terms of radical D2 lymphadenectomy with fewer serious complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity is associated with morbidity following gastric cancer surgery, but whether obesity influences morbidity after laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) remains controversial. The present study evaluated whether body mass index (BMI) and visceral fat area (VFA) predict postoperative complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 217 consecutive patients who had undergone LG for gastric cancer between May 2003 and December 2005 were included in the present study. We divided the patients into two groups ('before learning curve' and 'after learning curve') based on the learning curve effect of the surgeon. Each of these groups was sub-classified according to BMI (<25 kg/m(2) and ≥25 kg/m(2)) and VFA (<100 cm(2) and ≥100 cm(2)). Surgical outcomes, including operative time, quantity of blood loss, and postoperative complications, were compared between BMI and VFA subgroups. RESULTS The mean operative time, length of hospital stay, and complication rate were significantly higher in the before learning curve group than in the after learning curve group. In the subgroup analysis, complication rate and length of hospital stay did not differ according to BMI or VFA; however, for the before learning curve group, mean operative time and blood loss were significantly higher in the high VFA subgroup than in the low VFA subgroup (P=0.047 and P=0.028, respectively). CONCLUSIONS VFA may be a better predictive marker than BMI for selecting candidates for LG, which may help to get a better surgical outcome for inexperienced surgeons.

Abstract
Background It has been shown that visceral fat accumulation is associated with autonomic dysfunction, though the precise mechanism remains unclear. A recent basic study found that leptin can directly modulate autonomic function through the dorsomedial hypothalamus in relation to obesity. Here, we investigated the mutual relationships among plasma leptin, visceral fat accumulation, and cardiac autonomic dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods This cross-sectional study included 100 diabetic patients, and 100 age- and gender-matched non-diabetic patients with cardiovascular risk factors. Plasma leptin and soluble leptin receptor levels, visceral fat area (VFA), and heart rate variability (HRV) were determined in addition to classical cardiovascular risk factors. Results In the type 2 diabetic patients, VFA was significantly (p < 0.05) and inversely associated with HRV parameters (SDNN: r = −0.243; SDANN5: r = −0.238), while the plasma level of leptin, but not soluble leptin receptor, was also significantly (p < 0.05) and inversely associated with HRV parameters (SDNN: r = −0.243; SDANN5: r = −0.231). Multiple regression analysis showed that plasma leptin was significantly associated with SDNN and SDANN5 independent of other factors, including age, gender, presence of hypertension and dyslipidemia, duration of diabetes, HbA1c, and eGFR. Furthermore, the relationship of leptin with SDNN and SDANN5 (β = −0.279 and −0.254, respectively) remained significant (p < 0.05) after adjustment for VFA. In patients without diabetes, no significant associations were observed between leptin and any of the HRV parameters. Conclusions Hyperleptinemia may be involved in cardiac autonomic dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes and visceral obesity.

Dig Surg 2014; 31:219-24.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease (CD) patients are typically underweight; however, a growing cohort of overweight CD patients is emerging. The current study investigates whether body mass index (BMI) or volumetric fat parameters can be used to predict morbidity after ileocolectomy for CD. METHODS One hundred and forty-three CD patients who underwent elective ileocolectomy were identified from our Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Registry. Patient demographics and operative outcomes were recorded. Visceral (VA) and subcutaneous (SA) adiposity and abdominal circumference (AC) were analyzed on preoperative CT scans using Aquarius iNtuition software. A visceral/subcutaneous ratio (VSR) was calculated. RESULTS BMI correlated with SA (p = 0.0001), VA (p = 0.0001) and AC (p = 0.0001) but not VSR (p > 0.05). BMI, VA and AC did not predict surgical morbidity (p > 0.05). In multivariate regression analysis, family history of IBD (p = 0.009), high American Society of Anesthesiologists score (p = 0.02) and increased VSR (p = 0.03) were independent predictors of postoperative morbidity. CONCLUSIONS The visceral/subcutaneous fat ratio is a more reliable predictor of postoperative outcomes in CD patients undergoing ileocolectomy than conventional adiposity markers such as BMI. Preoperative calculation of the visceral/subcutaneous fat ratio offers the opportunity to optimize high-risk surgical patients, thus improving outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and increased visceral fat deposits are important risk factors for surgical-site infection (SSI). Interestingly, a potential role of hepatic steatosis on complications after extrahepatic surgery remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of hepatic steatosis on SSI in patients that underwent open abdominal surgery. METHODS A total of 231 patients that underwent either liver (n = 116) or colorectal (n = 115) resection and received preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans were retrospectively investigated. Signal attenuation of the liver parenchyma was measured on computed tomography scans to assess hepatic steatosis. RESULTS More SSIs (including types 1, 2, and 3) were found in the group with hepatic steatosis (56/118 [47.5%]) compared with the control group (30/113 [26.6%]; P = .001). Patients with hepatic steatosis showed greater median body mass index than patients without hepatic steatosis (26.6 kg/m(2) [range 16.8-47.0 kg/m(2)] vs 23.2 kg/m(2) [15.9-32.7 kg/m(2)]; P < .001). Patients with hepatic steatosis experienced longer median operation times (297 minutes [52-708 minutes] vs 240 minutes [80-600 minutes]; P = .003). In a multivariate analysis, hepatic steatosis was identified as an independent risk factor for SSI in patients undergoing hepatic (odds ratio 10.33 [95% confidence interval 1.19-89.76]; P = .03) or colorectal (odds ratio 6.67 [95% confidence interval 1.12-39.33]; P = .04) operation. CONCLUSION Hepatic steatosis is associated with SSI after hepatic and colorectal operation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of the present study was to assess the impact of body mass index (BMI) on perioperative and pathologic outcomes after total gastrectomy with "over-D1" dissection for gastric cancer. METHODS Data on 161 patients undergoing total gastrectomy between 2005 and 2011 were reviewed. Patients were grouped into three categories by BMI: BMI < 25 kg/m(2) (63 normal-weight patients; 39.1 %), BMI ≥ 25-<30 kg/m(2) (73 overweight patients; 45.3 %), and BMI ≥ 30 kg/m(2) (25 obese patients; 15.6 %) and matched for the analysis of perioperative and cancer-related outcomes. RESULTS Operative time was longer for obese patients. Medical (mainly pulmonary) and surgical (mainly bleeding and wound infection) complications occurred more frequently in overweight/obese subjects. However, they were mostly managed conservatively (grade I-II in the Clavien-Dindo classification). The overall postoperative mortality was 0.9 %. Multivariate analysis identified the American Society of Anesthesiologists score and splenectomy, but not obesity, as independent risk factors for postoperative complications. The median number of lymph nodes retrieved differed significantly from group to group: obese 21 (IQR 18-26), versus overweight 24, versus normal weight 28 (p = 0.031). No difference was found in lymph node ratio and cancer-related parameters. CONCLUSIONS Obese patients with operable gastric cancer can be candidates for standard extensive surgical resection, provided that pre-existing co-morbidities and potential intraoperative and postoperative complications are considered.
