Pattou M, Fuks D, Guilbaud T, Le Floch B, Lelièvre O, Tribillon E, Jeddou H, Marchese U, Birnbaum DJ, Soubrane O, Sulpice L, Tzedakis S. Predictive value of C-reactive protein for postoperative liver-specific surgical site infections. Surgery 2024; 175:1337-1345. [PMID: 38413303 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2024.01.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND C-reactive protein is a useful biological tool to predict infectious complications, but its predictive value in detecting organ-specific surgical site infection after liver resection has never been studied. We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of c-reactive protein and determine the cut-off values to detect postoperative liver resection-surgical site infection. METHODS A multicentric analysis of consecutive patients with liver resection between 2018 and 2021 was performed. The predictive value of postoperative day 1, postoperative day 3, and postoperative day 5 C-reactive protein levels was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Cut-off values were determined using the Youden index in a 500-fold bootstrap resampling of 500 patients treated at 3 centers, who comprised the development cohort and were tested in an external independent validation cohort of 166 patients at a fourth center. RESULTS Among the 500 patients who underwent liver resection of the development cohort, liver resection-surgical site infection occurred in 66 patients (13.2%), and the median time to diagnosis was 6.0 days (interquartile range, 4.0-9.0) days. Median C-reactive protein levels were significantly higher on postoperative day 1, postoperative day 3, and postoperative day 5 in the liver resection-surgical site infection group compared with the non-surgical site infection group (50.5 vs 34.5 ng/mL, 148.0 vs 72.5 ng/mL, and 128.4 vs 35.2 ng/mL, respectively; P < .001). Postoperative day 3 and postoperative day 5 C-reactive protein-level area under the curve values were 0.76 (95% confidence interval, 0.64-0.88, P < .001) and 0.82 (95% confidence interval, 0.72-0.92, P < .001), respectively. Postoperative day 3 and postoperative day 5 optimal cut-off values of 100 mg/L and 87.0 mg/L could be used to rule out liver resection-surgical site infection, with a negative predictive value of 87.0% (interquartile range, 70.2-93.8) and 76.0% (interquartile range, 65.0-88.0), respectively, in the validation cohort. CONCLUSION Postoperative day 3 and postoperative day 5 C-reactive protein levels may be valuable predictive tools for liver resection-surgical site infection and aid in hospital discharge decision-making in the absence of other liver-related complications.

[PMID: 37194335 PMCID: PMC10502255 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023] Open
Abstract
A meta-analysis was conducted to measure hepatic and pancreatic tumour resection (HPTR) risk factors (RFs) for surgical site wound infections (SSWIs). A comprehensive literature inspection was conducted until February 2023, and 2349 interrelated investigations were reviewed. The nine chosen investigations included 22 774 individuals who were in the chosen investigations' starting point, 20 831 of them were with pancreatic tumours (PTs), and 1934 with hepatic tumours (HTs). Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to compute the value of the HPTR RFs for SSWIs using dichotomous and continuous approaches, and a fixed or random model. HT patients with biliary reconstruction had significantly higher SSWI (OR, 5.81; 95% CI, 3.42-9.88, P < .001) than those without biliary reconstruction. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference between individuals with PT who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and those who underwent distal pancreatectomy in SSWI (OR, 1.63; 95% CI, 0.95-2.77, P = .07). HT individuals with biliary reconstruction had significantly higher SSWI compared with those without biliary reconstruction. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference between PT individuals who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and those who underwent distal pancreatectomy in SSWI. However, owing to the small number of selected investigations for this meta-analysis, care must be exercised when dealing with its values.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with colorectal cancer frequently present with liver metastases requiring either concurrent colon and liver resection or staged resection for curative therapy. The goal of this study is to determine if synchronous resection increases risk of perioperative adverse outcomes such as surgical site infections (SSIs). METHODS AND PROCEDURES We conducted a cross-sectional retrospective analysis of the targeted hepatectomy NSQIP database from 2015 to 2019. The primary outcome was surgical site infections stratified into superficial, deep, organ space, and wound dehiscence. We performed univariate followed by a multivariate logistic regression to determine if there were higher odds of SSIs in patients undergoing hepatic resection concurrently with primary colorectal resection. Additionally, we performed stratified analyses by size of hepatic resections (partial, total left, total right, and trisegmentectomy). RESULTS Of the 7,445 patients included in the study, 431(5.8%) underwent synchronous resection and 7,014 metachronous resection. On average, synchronous resections prolonged surgery by 62 min. There was no difference in superficial and deep SSIs between the groups; however, there was a significant difference in organ space SSIs. Patients undergoing synchronous resection had 1.51 times the odds of developing an organ space SSI (OR 1.51, 95%CI 1.10, 2.17, p = 0.04) compared to patients with metachronous resection on multivariate analysis. Patients undergoing a total right hepatectomy concurrently with a colorectal resection had 2.30 times the odds of developing an organ space SSI (OR 2.30, 95%CI 1.20, 6.86, p = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS Prior studies demonstrated that synchronous resections are safe in properly selected patients with no difference in long-term outcomes. Few studies have explored immediate perioperative outcomes between the two approaches. After controlling for confounders, we demonstrate that synchronous resection with major hepatic surgery increases the risk of organ space SSIs. Future studies should elucidate the precise source of organ space SSIs in order to decrease the risk of this adverse outcome.

Abstract
Background Infectious complications can cause lethal liver failure after hepatectomy with biliary reconstruction. This study assessed the increased risk for postoperative infectious complications in patients who underwent hepatectomy with biliary reconstruction and explored the possibility of predicting pathogenic microorganisms causing postoperative infectious complications based on preoperative monitoring of bile cultures. Methods This study involved 310 patients who received major hepatectomy with or without biliary reconstruction at our institution between January 2010 and December 2019. The relationship between the microorganisms detected through perioperative monitoring of bile culture and those in the postoperative infectious foci was examined. Results Forty-nine patients underwent major hepatectomy with biliary reconstruction, and 261 received hepatectomy without biliary reconstruction. The multivariate analysis revealed hepatectomy with biliary reconstruction to be associated with an increased risk of postoperative infectious complications (odds ratio: 22.9, 95% confidence interval: 5.2-164.3) compared to hepatectomy without biliary reconstruction. In the patients with biliary reconstruction, the concordance rates between the microorganisms detected in the postoperative infectious foci and those in preoperative bile cultures were as follows: incisional surgical site infection (44.4%), organ/space surgical site infection (52.9%), bacteremia (47.1%), and pneumonia (16.7%); the concordance rates were high, and the risk of infection increased over time. Conclusions Biliary reconstruction is a significant risk factor for postoperative infectious complications, and preoperative bile cultures may aid in prophylactic and therapeutic antimicrobial agent selection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Partial laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a procedure that can have varying levels of surgical difficulty depending on the tumor status and procedure. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of partial LLR using a new resection classification system. METHODS From January 2009 to May 2021, 156 patients underwent LLR; of them, 87 patients who underwent pure partial LLR were included in this study. They were classified according to the IWATE criteria as the low (n = 56) and intermediate (n = 31) difficulty groups and reclassified according to the resection type as the edge (ER, n = 45), bowl-shaped (BSR, n = 27), and dome-shaped resection (DSR, n = 15) groups. The following surgical outcomes were comparatively analyzed among the groups: intraoperative blood loss, the operation time, and complication rates. Preoperative risk factors for intraoperative blood transfusion and complications were evaluated. RESULTS In the IWATE criteria-based analysis, the intermediate-difficulty group had significantly higher intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.005), operation time (p = 0.005), and Clavien-Dindo (CD) grade-based complication rates (CD grade 2 or higher, p = 0.03) than the low-difficulty group. When analyzing the resection type, the CD grade-based complication rate (p = 0.013) and surgical site infection (SSI, p = 0.005) were significantly higher and the postoperative hospitalization was significantly longer (p = 0.028) in the bowl-shaped resection (BSR) group than in the edge- (ER) and dome-shaped resection (DSR) groups. The tumor size (p = 0.011) and IWATE criteria score (p = 0.006) were independent risk factors for intraoperative blood transfusion in the multivariate analysis. The tumor depth (p = 0.011) and BSR (p = 0.002) were independent risk factors for complications of CD grade 2 or higher in the multivariate analysis. BSR was an independent risk factor for SSI in the multivariate analysis (p = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS Resection type could predict the rate of postoperative complications, while the IWATE criteria could predict the intraoperative surgical difficulty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study is aimed to compare the occurrence of postoperative infections between patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) and those undergoing open liver resection (OLR). METHODS This study included 446 patients who underwent initial curative liver resection for HCC 5 cm or less in size without macroscopic vascular invasion. To adjust for confounding factors between the LLR and OLR groups, propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting (IPW) analysis were performed. The incidence rates of postoperative infection, including incisional surgical site infection (SSI), organ/space SSI, and remote infection (RI), were compared between the two groups. RESULTS An imbalance in several confounding variables, including period of surgery, extent of liver resection, difficult location, proximity to a major vessel, tumor size ≥ 3 cm, and multiple tumors, was observed between the two groups in the original cohort. After matching and weighting, the imbalance between the two groups significantly decreased. Compared with OLR, LLR was associated with a lower volume of intraoperative blood loss (140 vs. 350 mL, P < 0.001 in the matched cohort; 120 vs. 320 mL, P < 0.001 in the weighted cohort) and reduced risk of postoperative infection (2.0% vs. 12%, P = 0.015 in the matched cohort; 2.9% vs. 14%, P = 0.005 in the weighted cohort). Of the types of postoperative infections, organ/space SSI and RI were less frequently observed in the LLR group than in the OLR group in the matched cohort (1.0% vs. 6.0%, P = 0.091 for organ/space SSI; 0% vs. 6.0%, P < 0.001 for RI) and in the weighted cohort (1.2% vs. 7.8%, P < 0.001 for organ/space SSI; 0.3% vs. 5.1%, P = 0.009 for RI). CONCLUSIONS Compared with OLR, LLR for HCC might reduce postoperative infections, including organ/space SSI and RI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is associated with high mortality following liver resection. There have been limited studies evaluating predictors of PHLF and clinically significant PHLF in non-cirrhotic patients. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (NSQIP) to evaluate 8,093 non-cirrhotic patients undergoing hepatectomy from 2014 to 2018. Primary endpoints were PHLF and clinically significant PHLF (PHLF grade B or C). RESULTS Among all patients, 4.74% (n = 383) developed PHLF and 2.5% clinically significant PHLF (n = 203). The overall 30-day mortality was 1.35% (n = 109), 11.5% (n = 44) in patients with PHLF, and 19.2% in those with clinically significant PHLF. Factors associated with PHLF were: metastatic liver disease (OR = 1.84, CI = 1.14-2.98), trisectionectomy (OR = 3.71, CI = 2.59-5.32), right total lobectomy (OR = 4.17, CI = 3.06-5.68), transfusions (OR = 1.99, CI = 1.52-2.62), organ/space SSI (OR = 2.84, CI = 2.02-3.98), post-operative pneumonia (OR = 2.43, CI = 1.57-3.76), sepsis (OR = 2.27, CI = 1.47-3.51), and septic shock (OR = 5.67, CI = 3.43-9.36). Patients who developed PHLF or clinically significant PHLF had 2-threefold increased risk of perioperative mortality. Post-hepatectomy renal failure (OR = 8.47, CI = 3.96-18.1), older age (OR = 1.04, CI = 1.014-1.063), male sex (OR = 1.83, CI = 1.07-3.14), sepsis (OR = 2.96, CI = 1.22-7.2), and septic shock (OR = 3.92, CI = 1.61-9.58) were independently associated with 30-mortality in patients with clinically significant PHLF. CONCLUSION PHLF in non-cirrhotic patients increased the risk of perioperative mortality and is associated with the extent of hepatectomy and infectious complications. Careful evaluation of the liver remnant, antibiotic prophylaxis, nutritional assessment, and timely management of post-operative infections could decrease major morbidity and mortality following hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the recently increasing number of elderly patients undergoing liver resection, the impact of advancing age on postoperative infections (PIs) incidence and risk remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of advancing age on PIs incidence and status. METHODS This retrospective study included 744 patients undergoing liver resection without biliary reconstruction or combined resection of other organs. Multivariable analysis with a restricted cubic spline was used to evaluate the impact of advancing age on PIs and to determine its association with PIs risk in patients undergoing open and laparoscopic liver resection (OLR and LLR, respectively). RESULTS Multivariable analysis demonstrated that advancing age was significantly associated with increased PIs risk (P = 0.017). The spline curve showed that the odds ratio for PIs sharply increased starting approximately at 65 years of age. Unadjusted restricted cubic splines assessing the subcategories of PIs demonstrated that advancing age was associated with increased risks of organ/space surgical site infection and sepsis (P = 0,064 and 0.048, respectively). Multivariable analysis revealed that LLR was associated with the lower PIs risk compared with OLR (P = 0.025), whereas the lower PIs risk with LLR was not significantly obscured by advancing age (P = 0.29). CONCLUSIONS Advancing age was associated with increased risk of PIs, including organ/space surgical site infections and sepsis, after liver resection especially in patients aged ≥ 65 years.

Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression of Risk Factors for Surgical Site Infections in Hepatic and Pancreatic Resection. World J Surg 2020; 44:4221-4230. [PMID: 32812136 DOI: 10.1007/s00268-020-05741-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) after HPB surgery are poorly defined. This meta-analysis aimed to quantify the SSI rates and risk factors for SSI after pancreas and liver resection. METHODS The PUBMED, MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were systematically searched using the PRISMA framework. The primary outcome measure was pooled SSI rates. The secondary outcome measure was risk factor profile determination for SSI. RESULTS The overall rate of SSI after pancreatic and liver resection was 25.1 and 10.4%, respectively (p < 0.001). 32% of pancreaticoduodenectomies developed SSI vs 23% after distal pancreatectomy (p < 0.001). The rate of incisional SSI in the pancreatic group was 9% and organ/space SSI 16.5%. Biliary resection during liver surgery was a risk factor for SSI (25.0 vs 15.7%, p = 0.002). After liver resection, the incisional SSI rate was 7.6% and the organ space SSI rate was 10.2%. Pancreas-specific SSI risk factors were pre-operative biliary drainage (p < 0.001), chemotherapy (p < 0.001) and radiotherapy (p = 0.007). Liver-specific SSI risk factors were smoking (p = 0.046), low albumin (p < 0.001) and significant blood loss (p < 0.001). The rate of organ/space SSI in patients with POPF was 47.7% and in patients without POPF 7.3% (p < 0.001). Organ/space SSI rate was 43% in patients with bile leak and 10% in those without (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The risk factors for SSI following pancreatic and liver resections are distinct from each other, with higher SSI rates after pancreatic resection. Pancreaticoduodenectomy has increased risk of SSI compared to distal pancreatectomy. Similarly, biliary resections during liver surgery increase the rates of SSI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infections (SSI) remain a major cause of morbidity after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
AIM To identify the risk factors associated with SSI, and develop a nomogram to predict SSI among patients undergoing hepatectomy.
METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients diagnosed with HCC undergoing hepatectomy at two academic institutions in China, and evaluated the occurrence of SSI. Independent risk factors for SSI were identified using univariate and multivariate analyses. Based on these independent risk factors, a nomogram was established using the data of patients in the first institution, and was validated using data from an external independent cohort from the second institution.
RESULTS The nomogram was established using data from 309 patients, whereas the validation cohort used data from 331 patients. The operation duration, serum albumin level, repeat hepatectomy, and ASA score were identified as independent risk factors. The concordance index (C-index) of the nomogram for SSI prediction in the training cohort was 0.86; this nomogram also performed well in the external validation cohort, with a C-index of 0.84. Accordingly, we stratified patients into three groups, with a distinct risk range based on the nomogram prediction, to guide clinical practice.
CONCLUSION Our novel nomogram offers good preoperative prediction for SSIs in patients undergoing hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our goal was to evaluate the microbe species responsible for bacteremia or infections related to central venous catheter (CVC) or fluid collections after liver resection. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data from 112 patients (68 males, 44 females) who underwent liver resection over a period of 63 months were reviewed. Patient and tumor characteristics, intra-operative and post-operative data, and the results from cultures of peripheral blood, CVC tips and drained intra-abdominal or intra-throracic fluid collections were collected. RESULTS There were positive blood cultures in 20 patients (17.9%). Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and bacteria of enteric flora were the micro-organisms found most frequently and half of the cases had multiple isolated microbe species. The construction of a bilioenteric anastomosis was an independent risk factor for microbe isolation in peripheral blood (odds ratio [OR]: 11, p = 0.01). Furthermore, there were positive cultures of the CVC tip in 14 patients (12.5%), with CoNS being the micro-organism found most frequently and most cases had only one isolated microbe species. No specific risk factor for catheter-related infections was detected. In addition, there were positive cultures of drained fluid collections in 19 patients (17%), with bacteria of enteric flora being the micro-organisms found most frequently and the majority of cases had multiple isolated microbe species. The construction of a bilioenteric anastomosis (OR: 23.5, p = 0.002) and the laparoscopic approach (OR: 4.7, p = 0.0496) were independent risk factors for microbe isolation in drained fluid collections. Finally, the presence of positive blood cultures was associated with the presence of positive culture of CVC tips (p = 0.018) and drained fluid collections (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Post-operative bacteremia, colonization of CVCs, and contamination of fluid collections occur frequently after liver resections and various microbe species may be involved. Patients who undergo hepatectomy and a synchronous construction of a bilioenteric anastomosis are at increased risk of bacteremia development and contamination of fluid collections.

Abstract
Aim of the study Despite recent technical progress and advances in the perioperative management of liver surgery, postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) is still one of the most common complications that extends hospital stays and increases medical expenses following hepatic surgery. Material and methods From 2001 to 2017 a total of 1180 patients who underwent hepatic resection for liver tumours were retrospectively analysed with respect to the predictive factor of superficial incisional SSI, using a propensity score matching by procedure (subcuticular or mattress suture). Results The incidence of superficial and deep incisional SSIs was found to be 7.1% (84/1180). By propensity score matching (PSM), 121 of the 577 subcuticular suture group patients could be matched with 121 of the 603 mattress suture group patients. Multivariate analysis demonstrated wound closure technique as the only independent risk factor that correlated significantly with the occurrence of superficial incisional SSIs (p = 0.038). C-reactive protein (CRP) levels on postoperative day 4 were significantly higher in patients with incisional SSIs than in those without (p < 0.001). Conclusions Wound closure technique with subcuticular continuous spiral suture using absorbable suture should be considered to minimise the incidence of incisional SSIs. Moreover, wounds should be carefully checked when CRP levels are high on postoperative day 4.

Abstract
Introduction Surgical site infections (SSIs) and especially organ/space infection (O/SI) after resection or ablation of liver tumors are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. A secondary blood stream infection (BSI) is considered an O/SI but the exact prevalence is unknown. We aimed to investigate the incidence of O/SI and BSIs in a cohort of consecutive patients after liver resection or ablation, to seek for a possible connection between them and to search for potential risk factors. Materials and methods We reviewed all patients who underwent hepatic resection or intraoperative liver ablation between January 2012 and December 2016 in our department. We focused on age, gender, Child–Pugh score, preoperative biliary drainage, indication for surgery, type of resection, resection or ablation of tumor, need for bilioenteric reconstruction, additional procedure to hepatectomy, blood transfusion, operative time, postoperative admission to ICU, and antibiotic chemoprophylaxis. All positive cultures from intra-abdominal fluids and blood were recorded. O/SI and BSIs were diagnosed by the criteria set by Centers for Disease Control. All variables were compared between the group with O/SI and the group without infection. BSIs were associated with these infections also. Results Eighty-one consecutive patients with a mean age of 64 years were enrolled. Fifteen patients presented a positive culture postoperatively: intra-abdominal fluid in eight, blood cultures in six, and both blood and intra-abdominal fluid in one patient. The directly estimated incidence of O/SI amounted to 11.1%. Four blood cultures were secondary to O/SI, and the remaining two secondary to central line catheter. O/SI was diagnosed indirectly, through the BSI in an additional 4.9% of the patients, raising the incidence of SSI to 16%. Among the factors studied, only admission to the ICU was found to be statistically significant as a risk factor for the development of O/SI (p = 0.026). Conclusion O/SI should be actively seeked for after liver surgery including blood cultures. Patients with affected physical status, comorbidities are in greater risk of developing O/SI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical-site infection (SSI) is still the second most common healthcare-associated infection, after respiratory tract infection. SSIs are associated with higher morbidity and mortality rates, and result in enormous healthcare costs. In the past decade, several guidelines have been developed that aim to reduce the incidence of SSI. Unfortunately, there is no consensus amongst the guidelines, and some are already outdated. This review discusses the recent literature regarding alternatives to antibiotics for prevention of SSI. METHODS A literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE was performed to retrieve data on the prevention of SSI. The focus was on literature published in the past decade. RESULTS Prevention of SSI can be divided into preoperative, perioperative and postoperative measures. Preoperative measures consist of showering, surgical scrubbing and cleansing of the operation area with antiseptics. Perioperative factors can be subdivided as: environmental factors, such as surgical attire; patient-related factors, such as plasma glucose control; and surgical factors, such as the duration and invasiveness of surgery. Postoperative measures consist mainly of wound care. CONCLUSION There is a general lack of evidence on the preventive effectiveness of perioperative measures to reduce the incidence of SSI. Most measures are based on common practice and perceived effectiveness. The lack of clinical evidence, together with the stability of the high incidence of SSI (10 per cent for colorectal procedures) in recent decades, highlights the need for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Postoperative infection is not uncommon after hepatectomy. This study assessed the effectiveness of preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis in elective hepatectomy in a randomized clinical trial setting. METHODS A total of 120 patients who were scheduled to undergo elective hepatectomy were equally randomized to receive either intravenous cefuroxime 1.5 g (group A) or placebo (group B) within 30 min prior to skin incision. RESULTS Overall, postoperative infection occurred in 26 (21.6 %) of the 120 patients. There was no statistically significant difference between groups A and B in the incidence of overall infection (23.3 vs. 20.0 %, P = 0.658), surgical site infection (13.3 vs. 15 %, P = 0.793), and remote site infection (13.3 vs. 11.7 %, P = 0.783). CONCLUSION The use of preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis as a routine practice in patients undergoing elective hepatectomy is unnecessary because it does not reduce the risk of postoperative infectious complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HPB) operations have a high incidence of post-operative nosocomial infections. The aim of the present study was to determine whether hospitalization up to 1 year before HPB surgery is associated with an increased risk of post-operative infection, surgical-site infection (SSI) and infection resistant to surgical chemoprophylaxis. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing HPB surgeries between January 2008 and June 2013 was conducted. A multivariable logistic regression model was used for controlling for potential confounders to determine the association between pre-operative admission and post-operative infection. RESULTS Of the 1384 patients who met eligibility criteria, 127 (9.18%) experienced a post-operative infection. Pre-operative hospitalization was independently associated with an increased risk of a post-operative infection [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.61, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06-2.46] and SSI (aOR: 1.79, 95% CI: 1.07-2.97). Pre-operative hospitalization was also associated with an increased risk of post-operative infections resistant to standard pre-operative antibiotics (OR: 2.64, 95% CI: 1.06-6.59) and an increased risk of resistant SSIs (OR: 3.99, 95% CI: 1.25-12.73). DISCUSSION Pre-operative hospitalization is associated with an increased incidence of post-operative infections, often with organisms that are resistant to surgical chemoprophylaxis. Patients hospitalized up to 1 year before HPB surgery may benefit from extended spectrum chemoprophylaxis.

Perineal wound healing after abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer: a two-centre experience in the era of intensified oncological treatment. Int J Colorectal Dis 2014; 29:1151-7.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intensified treatment for distal rectal cancer has improved oncological outcome, but at the expense of more perineal wound complications in patients undergoing an abdominoperineal resection (APR). The aim of this study was to analyse perineal wound healing after APR with primary perineal wound closure over time. METHOD All patients undergoing APR for primary rectal cancer with primary wound closure between 2000 and 2013 were included and analysed in three consecutive time periods. Both early (<30 days postoperatively) and late perineal wound complications were determined. Independent risk factors of early perineal wound complications were identified using multivariable analysis. RESULTS A total of 136 patients were identified, of whom 129 patients underwent primary perineal wound closure. The use of neo-adjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy increased from 72 to 91%, and the use of an extralevator approach increased from 9 to 19%. The rate of early perineal wound complications increased from 18 to 31% and was independently associated with an extralevator approach [odds ratio (OR) 3.17; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.16-8.66] and intra-operative perforation (OR 3.35; 95% CI 1.06-10.57). Perineal wound complications had no impact on local recurrence or 3-year overall survival rate. During a median follow-up of 28 months [interquartile range (IQR) 14-56], a persistent presacral sinus was diagnosed in 10%, and a perineal hernia occurred in 8% of the patients. CONCLUSION The increased use of an extralevator APR for rectal cancer significantly increased the risk of perineal wound complications over time. Intra-operative perforation was also independently associated with impaired perineal wound healing.
