Front Surg 2023; 9:1011005. [PMID: 36733678 PMCID: PMC9887286 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.1011005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The short-term and long-term effects of perioperative blood transfusion (PBT) on patients with gastric cancer are still intriguing. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effects of blood transfusion on clinical outcomes in patients with gastric cancer undergoing gastrectomy. Methods We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and The Cochrane Library on December 31th 2021. The main outcomes were overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), disease-specific survival (DFS), and postoperative complications. A fixed or random-effects model was used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results Fifty-one studies with a total of 41,864 patients were included for this review and meta-analysis. Compared with patients who did not receive blood transfusions (NPBT), PBT was associated with worse 5-year OS (HR = 2.39 [95%CI: 2.00, 2.84]; p < 0.001; Multivariate HR = 1.43 [95%CI: 1.24, 1.63]; p < 0. 001), worse 5-year DFS (HR = 2.26 [95%CI: 1.68, 3.05]; p < 0.001; Multivariate HR = 1.45 [95%CI: 1.16, 1.82]; p < 0. 001), and worse 5-year DSS (HR = 2. 23 [95%CI: 1.35, 3.70]; p < 0.001; Multivariate HR = 1.24 [95%CI: 0.96, 1.60]; p < 0.001). Moreover, The PBT group showed a higher incidence of postoperative complications [OR = 2.30 (95%CI:1.78, 2. 97); p < 0.001] than that in the NPBT group, especially grade III-V complications, according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. [OR = 2.50 (95%CI:1.71, 3.63); p < 0.001]. Conclusion In patients who underwent gastrectomy, PBT was associated with negative survival effects (OS, DFS, DSS) and a higher incidence of perioperative complications. However, more research was expected to further explore the impact of PBT. Meanwhile, strict blood transfusion management should be implemented to minimize the use of PBT.

Red blood cell transfusions and the survival in patients with cancer undergoing curative surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Surg Today 2021; 51:1535-1557. [PMID: 33389174 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-020-02192-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2020] [Accepted: 10/26/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Allogenic red blood cell transfusions exert a potential detrimental effect on the survival when delivered to cancer patients undergoing surgery with curative intent. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the association between perioperative allogenic red blood cell transfusions and risk of death as well as relapse after surgery for localized solid tumors. PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were searched from inception to March 2019 for studies reporting the outcome of patients receiving transfusions during radical surgery for non-metastatic cancer. Risk of death and relapse were pooled to provide an adjusted hazard ratio with a 95% confidence interval [hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval {CI})]. Mortality and relapse associated with perioperative transfusion due to cancer surgery were evaluated among participants (n = 123 studies). Overall, RBC transfusions were associated with an increased risk of death [HR = 1.50 (95% CI 1.42-1.57), p < 0.01] and relapse [HR = 1.36 (95% CI 1.26-1.46), p < 0.01]. The survival was reduced even in cancer at early stages [HR = 1.45 (1.36-1.55), p < 0.01]. In cancer patients undergoing surgery, red blood cell transfusions reduced the survival and increased the risk of relapse. Transfusions based on patients' blood management policy should be performed by applying a more restrictive policy, and the planned preoperative administration of iron, if necessary, should be pursued.

Abstract
Background In the management of operable hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) patients with hyperbilirubinemia, preoperative biliary drainage is a measure to bring down the bilirubin to a certain level so as to avoid adverse postoperative outcomes that would otherwise result from hyperbilirubinemia. A cutoff value of bilirubin level in this context is needed but has not been agreed upon without controversy. This retrospective study aimed to identify a cutoff of preoperative bilirubin level that would minimize postoperative morbidity and mortality. Methods Data of patients having hepatectomy with curative intent for HC were analyzed. Discriminative analysis was performed to identify the preoperative bilirubin level that would make a survival difference. The identified level was used as the cutoff to divide patients into two groups. The groups were compared. Results Ninety patients received hepatectomy with curative intent for HC. Their median preoperative bilirubin level was 23 μmol/L. A cutoff preoperative bilirubin level of 75 μmol/L was derived from Youden’s index (sensitivity 0.333; specificity 0.949) and confirmed to be optimal by logistic regression (relative risk 9.250; 95% confidence interval 1.932–44.291; p = 0.005), with mortality shown to be statistically different at 90 days (p = 0.008). Patients were divided into Group A (≤75 μmol/L; n = 82) and Group B (> 75 μmol/L; n = 8). Group B had a higher preoperative bilirubin level (p < 0.001), more intraoperative blood loss (3.12 vs 1.4 L; p = 0.008), transfusion (100% vs 42.0%; p = 0.011) and replacement (2.45 vs 0.0 L; p < 0.001), more postoperative renal complications (p = 0.036), more in-hospital deaths (50% vs 8.5%; p = 0.004), and more 90-day deaths (50% vs 9.8%; p = 0.008). Group A had a longer follow-up period (p = 0.008). The groups were otherwise comparable. Disease-free survival was similar between groups (p = 0.142) but overall survival was better in Group A (5-year, 25.2% vs 0%; p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, preoperative bilirubin level and intraoperative blood replacement were risk factors for 90-day mortality. Conclusion A cutoff value of preoperative bilirubin level of 75 μmol/L is suggested, as the study showed that a preoperative bilirubin level ≤ 75 μmol/L resulted in significantly less blood replacement necessitated by blood loss during operation and significantly better patient survival after surgery.

Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the prognostic role of mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy. Patients & methods: A total of 289 HCC patients were classified into two groups based on the cut-off value of MCHC. Significant prognostic factors were screened by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: Low MCHC value was significantly associated with tumor diameter (p = 0.004) and vascular invasion (p = 0.038). Besides, Cox regression analysis showed that low MCHC was significantly associated with poor prognostic outcomes with HCC after hepatectomy (overall survival: hazard ratio: 0.372; 95% CI: 0.206-0.672; p = 0.001; recurrence-free survival: hazard ratio: 0.450; 95% confidence interval: 0.317-0.638; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Preoperative MCHC can predict prognosis for patients with HCC, and the lower MCHC value was associated with poor prognosis after hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The influence of intraoperative blood loss (IBL) on postoperative long-term outcomes of patients with gastric cancer is controversial. Here, we used a large multicenter dataset from nine institutes to evaluate the prognostic impact of IBL on patients with stage II/III gastric cancer. METHODS The study analyzed 1013 patients with stage II/III gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy without preoperative treatment and intraoperative transfusion. Patients were equally divided into learning and validation cohorts using a table of random numbers. The optimal cutoff value of IBL to predict recurrence was determined using the learning cohort, and the prognostic significance of the proposed cutoff was validated using the second cohort. RESULTS The optimal cutoff value of IBL determined with the learning cohort using the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was 330 ml. In the validation cohort, IBL > 330 ml was significantly associated with high body mass index, total gastrectomy, and postoperative complications, but not disease stage and the frequency of adjuvant chemotherapy. The disease-free and disease-specific survival rates of patients in the IBL > 330 ml (IBL-high) group were significantly shorter compared with those in the IBL ≤ 330 ml group. IBL-high was identified as an independent prognostic factor of disease recurrence (hazard ratio 1.45, 95% confidence interval 1.01-2.09, P = 0.0420). The hazard ratio of the IBL-high group was greater in the surgery-alone subgroup compared with that of the postoperative adjuvant-chemotherapy subgroup. CONCLUSIONS Our analysis of a multicenter dataset indicates that IBL adversely influenced long-term outcomes of patients with stage II/III gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background The prognostic value of preoperative anemia in gastric cancer remains unclear. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative anemia in gastric cancer. Methods We searched Embase and PubMed databases for relevant studies from inception to March 2018. The prognostic value of preoperative anemia in gastric cancer was determined by calculating the hazard ratio (HR) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) as effect measures. A random effect model was used in cases in which there was significant heterogeneity; otherwise, a fixed effect model was used. Statistical analyses were performed using Stata software. Results Seventeen studies involving 13,154 gastric cancer patients were included. The estimated rate of preoperative anemia was 36% (95%CI = 27-44%). The overall survival of preoperative anemia was poor (HR = 1.33, 95%CI = 1.21-1.45). Moreover, disease-free survival was significantly lower in patients with preoperative anemia compared with those without this condition (HR = 1.62, 95%CI = 1.13-2.32). These findings were corroborated by the results of subgroup analyses. Conclusions The results indicate that preoperative anemia predicts poor prognosis in gastric cancer, including overall survival and disease-free survival. Therefore, preoperative anemia may be a convenient and cost-effective blood-derived prognostic marker for gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background The association between perioperative blood transfusion and the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer is still unclear. Methods A total of 1581 patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative gastrectomy from 2000 to 2008 were evaluated. Perioperative blood transfusion was defined as the transfusion of packed red blood cells within seven days before surgery, during surgery, or within the postoperative hospitalization period. The association between perioperative blood transfusion and prognosis was evaluated using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Results Of 1581 patients, 298 patients (19%) received perioperative blood transfusion. Perioperative blood transfusion correlated with older age (P < 0.001); larger tumor size (P < 0.001); and more advanced stage (P < 0.001). Five-year survival rate was 40% in patients who had perioperative blood transfusion and 55% patients who did not have perioperative blood transfusion, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that perioperative blood transfusion was defined as independent prognostic factor. Perioperative blood transfusion was associated with worse outcomes in patients with stage III (P < 0.001). Conclusions Perioperative blood transfusion independently correlated with poorer prognosis in patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is a disease associated with a higher incidence and mortality, and some host genetic polymorphisms have been reported as potential factors contributing to the development of GC. In view of this, the study was conducted to investigate the effects of HLA-DQB1 gene polymorphisms and perioperative blood transfusion on prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (GC). METHODS A total of 142 patients with GC (case group) and 150 healthy controls (control group) were enrolled. Relationship between HLA-DQB1 gene polymorphisms, perioperative blood transfusion, and clinical pathological parameters of patients with GC after operation was analyzed. Kaplan-Meier curve was applied for analyzing survival rate of patients with GC, and Cox multivariate regression analysis for prognostic factors of patients with GC. RESULTS The frequency of HLA-DQB1*03 gene was increased in patients with GC. Patients with GC with HLA-DQB1*03 genotype had higher number of tumor size >6 cm, deeper depth of infiltration, higher LNM rate, and later stage of disease. Patients with HLA-DQB1*03 genotype had lower survival rate compared with other genotypes. Anemia before operation, depth of infiltration in T3 stage and T4 stage, LNM in N1 stage and N2 stage, and HLA-DQB1*03 genotype were regarded as independent risk factors for patients with GC. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate that HLA-DQB1*03 genotype and perioperative blood transfusion are not conducive to the prognosis of patients with GC, which could provide a reference for the treatment of GC.

Abstract
The current study sought to evaluate whether blood transfusions affect survival of elderly patients with primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). A total of 104 patients aged 60 years and over were enrolled and divided into two groups: 24 patients who received transfusions and 80 patients who did not. Statistical analyses showed significant differences in LDH levels, platelet (Plt) counts, and hemoglobin (Hb) and albumin (Alb) levels between the two groups. Univariate analyses showed that LDH level ≥ 245 IU/L, cell of origin (germinal center/nongerminal center), and blood transfusion were associated with both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Higher IPI (3–5), Alb level < 35 g/L, and rituximab usage were associated with OS. Appearance of B symptoms was associated with PFS. Multivariate analyses showed that cell of origin and rituximab usage were independent factors for OS and LDH level was an independent factor for PFS. Blood transfusion was an independent factor for PFS, but not for OS. Our preliminary results suggested that elderly patients with primary DLBCL may benefit from a restrictive blood transfusion strategy.

The prognostic role of perioperative allogeneic blood transfusions in gastric cancer patients undergoing curative resection: A systematic review and meta-analysis of non-randomized, adjusted studies. Eur J Surg Oncol 2018; 44:404-419. [PMID: 29398320 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2018.01.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2016] [Revised: 08/25/2017] [Accepted: 01/03/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The impact of allogeneic perioperative blood transfusions (APTs) on the prognosis of gastric cancer patients undergoing curative-intent gastrectomy is still a highly debated topic. Two meta-analyses were published in 2015, and new studies report conflicting results. A literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, updated to March 1, 2016. Thirty-eight non-randomized studies reporting data on overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), disease-specific survival (DSS) and postoperative complications (PCs) were included. An inverse variance random-effects meta-analysis was conducted. APTs showed an association with worse OS, DFS, DSS and an increased number of PCs. The hazard ratio (HR) for OS was 1.49, with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of 1.32-1.69 (p < .00001; Q-test p = .001, I-squared = 56%). After outlier exclusion, the HR for OS was 1.34 (95% CI = 1.23-1.45, p < .00001; Q-test p = .64, I-squared = 0%). The HR for DFS was 1.48 (95% CI = 1.18-1.86, p = .0007; Q-test p = .31, I-squared = 16%), and the HR for DSS was 1.66 (95% CI = 1.5-2.19, p = .0004; Q-test p = .96, I-squared = 0%). The odds ratio for PCs was 3.33 (95% CI = 2.10-5.29, p < .00001; Q-test p = .14, I-squared = 42%). This meta-analysis showed a significant association between transfusions and OS, DFS, DSS and PCs. The quality of the evidence was low. Aggregation, selection and selective reporting bias were detected. The biases shifted the results towards significance. Further studies using accurate adjustment methods are needed. Until such additional studies are performed, caution in administering transfusions and optimization of cancer patient blood management are warranted.

Peri-Operative Blood Transfusion Does Not Influence Overall and Disease-Free Survival After Radical Gastrectomy for Stage II/III Gastric Cancer: a Propensity Score Matching Analysis. J Gastrointest Surg 2018; 22:1489-1500. [PMID: 29777453 PMCID: PMC6132396 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-018-3808-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2018] [Accepted: 05/07/2018] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Whether peri-operative blood transfusions (BTF) negatively impact long-term survival after gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC) remains controversial. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate independent predictive factors of BTF and the potential impact of BTF on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for stage II/III GC. METHODS Of 1020 patients who underwent gastrectomy for stage II/III GC from November 2010 to December 2015, 231 (22.6%) patients received BTF. The independent predictive factors of BTF were identified using univariate and multivariate analyses. Cox regression and propensity score matching (PSM) analyses of OS and DFS in patients who received BTF or not were compared. RESULTS Multivariate analysis revealed that age, pre-operative hemoglobin levels, tumor size, operation time, combined multi-organ resection, and intra-operative blood loss were independent predictive factors for BTF. PSM analysis created 205 pairs of patients. BTF was significantly associated with decreased OS (P = 0.025) and DFS (P = 0.034) in the entire cohort before PSM. After PSM, there was no longer a significant association between BTF and OS (P = 0.850) or DFS (P = 0.880). BTF was not identified as an independent risk factor for OS or DFS by multivariate Cox regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS The present study revealed that BTF did not influence OS and DFS after radical gastrectomy for stage II/III GC. Worse oncological outcomes were caused by clinical circumstances requiring blood transfusions, including longer operation time and advanced tumor stage, not due to BTF itself.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM We evaluated the survival benefit of splenectomy in patients with esophagogastric junction (ECJ) carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively examined clinicopathological and survival data for 60 surgically-treated patients with ECJ carcinoma. RESULTS The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 47%. Splenectomy was performed in 20 patients (30%). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed splenectomy (odds ratio (OR), 2.70; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.06-7.17; p=0.04) and venous invasion (OR=3.03; 95%CI=1.20-9.27; p=0.02) as significant independent predictors of poorer OS. Splenic hilar lymph node metastasis was not observed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified perioperative blood transfusion (BTF) as a significant independent factor associated with splenectomy. CONCLUSION The survival benefit of splenectomy in ECJ carcinoma patients may decrease with increasing frequency of perioperative BTF for blood loss. We recommend that splenectomy should be performed carefully when indicated by the extent or invasion of EGJ carcinoma.

Abstract
Background This study was designed to explore the correlations of hemoglobin level (Hb) and perioperative blood transfusion with the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC). Material/Methods Our study consisted of 210 patients with GC who all received a D2 radical operation. These patients were assigned into three groups: 68 cases in group A (blood transfusion >5 U); 59 cases in group B (blood transfusion <5 U); 83 cases in group C (without blood transfusion). A 5-year follow-up was conducted to evaluate the disease-free survival of the patients. Univariate analysis was performed to reveal the relationship between the indicators and the patients with GC. Kaplan-Meier method was employed to analyze the survival rate of patients, and Cox regression analysis was applied to determine the independent prognostic factors of GC. Results The univariate analysis indicated that age, perioperative blood transfusion amount, TNM staging, maximal tumor diameter, differentiation degree and invasion degree were associated with the prognosis of GC. The Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the disease-free survival rate was declined in the patients who were older, those received more amount of blood transfusion, those in advanced TNM staging, those had larger tumor diameter, and those with decreased degree of differentiation and invasion. Cox regression analysis indicated that perioperative blood transfusion, maximal tumor diameter and invasion degree were the independent factors affecting disease-free survival of the GC. Conclusions Our study revealed that large amount of perioperative blood transfusion leads to poor prognosis of GC.

Prognostic Significance of Blood Transfusion in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients without Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:5462087. [PMID: 28567420 PMCID: PMC5439061 DOI: 10.1155/2017/5462087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2017] [Revised: 03/16/2017] [Accepted: 04/04/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether blood transfusions affect overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A total of 181 patients were enrolled and divided into two groups: 68 patients in the transfused group and 113 patients in the nontransfused group. Statistical analyses showed that there were significant differences in ECOG scoring, Ig isotype, platelet (Plt) counts, hemoglobin (Hb) level, serum creatinine (Scr) level, and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) level between the two groups. Univariate analyses showed that higher International Staging System staging, Plt counts < 100 × 109/L, Scr level ≥ 177 μmol/L, serum β2-MG ≥ 5.5 μmol/L, serum calcium (Ca) ≥ 2.75 mmol/L, and thalidomide use were associated with both OS and PFS in MM patients. Age ≥ 60 was associated with OS and Ig isotype was associated with PFS in MM patients. Moreover, blood transfusion was associated with PFS but not OS in MM patients. Multivariate analyses showed that blood transfusion was not an independent factor for PFS in MM patients. Our preliminary results suggested that newly diagnosed MM patients may benefit from a liberal blood transfusion strategy, since blood transfusion is not an independent impact factor for survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Potential disadvantages of blood transfusion during curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer have been reported, and the role of peri-operative transfusions remains to be ascertained. Thus, the aim of our study was to survey its impact in patients with gastric cancer undergoinging gastrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical data of patients receiving curative gastrectomy at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital were obtained. Findings for pre-operative anemia states, pre-, peri- and post-operative transfusion of red blood cell (RBC) products as well as post-operative complication events were collected for univariate analysis. RESULTS A total of 116 patients with gastric cancer received gastrectomy at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital from 2011 to 2014. Both pre-operative and intra- and post-operative transfusion of RBC products were markedly associated with post-operative infectious events (OR: 3.70, 95% CI: 1.43-9.58, P=0.002; OR: 8.20, 95% CI: 3.11-22.62, P<0.001, respectively). In addition, peri- and post-operative RBC transfusion was significantly associated with prolonged hospital stay from admission to discharge (OR: 8.66, 95% CI: 1.73-83.00, P=0.002) and post-operative acute renal failure (OR: 19.69, 95% CI: 2.66-854.56, P<0.001). Also, the overall survival was seemingly decreased by peri-operative RBC transfusion in our gastric cancer cases (P=0.078). CONCLUSIONS Our survey indicated that peri-operative RBC transfusion could increase the risk of infectious events and acute renal failure post curative gastrectomy as well as worsen the overall survival in gastric cancer cases. Hence, unnecessary blood transfusion before, during and after curative gastrectomy should be avoided in patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Red blood cell transfusions (RBCT) carry risk of transfusion-related immunodulation that may impact postoperative recovery. This study examined the association between perioperative RBCT and short-term postoperative outcomes following gastrectomy for gastric cancer. METHODS Using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database, we compared outcomes of patients (transfused v. nontransfused) undergoing elective gastrectomy for gastric cancer (2007-2012). Outcomes were 30-day major morbidity, mortality and length of stay. The association between perioperative RBCT and outcomes was estimated using modified Poisson, logistic, or negative binomial regression. RESULTS Of the 3243 patients in the entire cohort, we included 2884 patients with nonmissing data, of whom 535 (18.6%) received RBCT. Overall 30-day major morbidity and mortality were 20% and 3.5%, respectively. After adjustment for baseline and clinical characteristics, RBCT was independently associated with increased 30-day mortality (relative risk [RR] 3.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.9-5.0), major morbidity (RR 1.4, 95% CI 1.2-1.8), length of stay (RR 1.2, 95% CI 1.1-1.2), infections (RR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.6), cardiac complications (RR 1.8, 95% CI 1.0-3.2) and respiratory failure (RR 2.3, 95% CI 1.6-3.3). CONCLUSION Red blood cell transfusions are associated with worse postoperative short-term outcomes in patients with gastric cancer. Blood management strategies are needed to reduce the use of RBCT after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Adverse prognostic impact of perioperative allogeneic transfusion on patients with stage II/III gastric cancer. Gastric Cancer 2016; 19:255-63.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic blood transfusions (BTFs) are sometimes required for radical gastrectomy with regional lymph node dissection for advanced gastric cancer (GC). The prognostic impact of perioperative BTF in GC is controversial. METHODS Clinical data were collected retrospectively from 250 consecutive patients who underwent curative gastric resection for stage II/III GC. The prognostic impact of BTF on patient survival was evaluated. Subgroup analysis was performed according to units of blood transfused, timing of BTF, type of gastrectomy, splenectomy, intraoperative estimated blood loss, and year of surgery. RESULTS Fifty-seven (22.8%) patients underwent perioperative BTF. Patients who received BTF experienced a significantly shorter disease-specific survival after curative surgery, and multivariable analysis identified perioperative BTF as an independent prognostic factor for cancer-related death (hazard ratio, 1.80; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-3.02; p = 0.032). The BTF group experienced significantly lower recurrence-free survival rate and a higher rate of initial peritoneal recurrence. The amount of blood cells transfused had less impact on prognosis. Pre- or postoperative BTF without intraoperative BTF had limited influence on postoperative prognosis. Prognosis of patients was affected by splenectomy. Even when intraoperative blood loss exceeded 800 ml, the prognosis of the non-BTF group was more favorable. The prognostic impact of BTF became less clear after introduction of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1. CONCLUSIONS BTF was an independent prognostic factor in patients with stage II/III GC after curative gastrectomy. To improve prognosis, BTF should be avoided when possible, particularly during surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We assessed the impact of complications on recurrence and survival after curative gastric cancer resection. METHODS Patients undergoing R0 resections between 1990 and 2009 were identified in a prospectively maintained database and were categorized by presence of any complication Clavien-Dindo (CD) ≥ II, sepsis or intra-abdominal sepsis. Cox regression analyses to relate complications and clinico-pathological variables to time to recurrence (TTR) and overall survival (OS) were performed. RESULTS A total of 271 patients were included with a median follow-up of 149.9 months (range 140.1-159.9). Complications CD ≥ II occurred in 162 (59.8%) patients, sepsis in 66 (22.5%), and intra-abdominal sepsis in 37 (13.6%). Recurrence developed in 88 (32.4%) patients. Independent predictors of short TTR were pTNM stage (IIIB-IIIC vs. IA-IIA) (hazard ratio [HR] = 37.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 17.57-80.24; p < 0.001), D1 lymphadenectomy (HR = 3.14, 95% CI 1.94-5.07; p < 0.001), and male gender (HR = 1.65, 95% CI 1.06-2.57; p = 0.026). pTNM stage (IIIB-IIIC vs. IA-IIA, HR = 10.28, 95% CI 6.51-16.23; p < 0.001), male gender (HR = 1.64, 95% CI 1.17-2.31; p = 0.005), age (HR = 1.03, 95% CI 1.02-1.05; p < 0.001), and adjuvant therapy (HR = 0.55, 95% CI 0.37-0.83; p = 0.004) were identified as independent predictors of OS.. CONCLUSIONS Evidence provided by this study does not support a negative impact of postoperative complications CD ≥ II, sepsis, and intra-abdominal sepsis on the oncologic outcome after curative gastric cancer resection.

Abstract
Whether perioperative allogenic blood transfusion (ABT) has adverse effect on patients with gastric carcinoma (GC) surgery or not, that is controversial. Our study evaluated the association between ABT and some clinical outcomes of GC surgery patients. Data of relevant studies were based on PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library search. The relative risk (RR) of 5-year survival rates, tumor recurrence, and postoperative complications were performed; subgroup analyses included district, transfusion rates, age, participants, sex, and tumor stage. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the First People's Hospital of Shunde. In total, 9189 participants from 16 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The 5-year survival rate was decreased for the GC patients with ABT (RR = 0.74, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.69-0.79), the risk of tumor recurrence was significantly higher for ABT patients (RR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.32-2.51), and postoperative complications increased in ABT patients (RR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.02-1.81), respectively; in subgroup analyses, 5-year survival rates were not associated with the transfusion rates (χ2 = 0.37, P = 0.54). Transfusion for patients undergoing GC surgery, even low transfusion rates, would reduce the 5-year survival rates, and elevated the risk of tumor recurrence and postoperative complication.
