Surg Today 2024; 54:734-742. [PMID: 38112860 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-023-02782-x] [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: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSES This study explored the association between the nutritional status and survival outcomes after pancreatic cancer surgery and reconsidered surgical indications in octogenarians. METHODS Three hundred and ninety-three consecutive pancreatic cancer patients who underwent resection were analyzed and grouped according to age (< 70 years old; septuagenarians [70-79 years old], and octogenarians [80-89 years old]). The Charlson age comorbidity index and nutritional parameters were recorded. Survival outcomes and their association with nutritional parameters and prognostic factors were examined. RESULTS The overall survival was worse in the octogenarians than in other patients. The median overall survivals in the < 70 years old group, septuagenarians, and octogenarians were 27.2, 26.4, and 15.3 months, respectively (P = 0.0828). DUPAN-2 ≥ 150 U/mL, borderline resectable/unresectable tumors, blood loss volume ≥ 500 mL, and blood transfusion were predictors of the overall survival among octogenarians. Nutritional parameter values were worse in the octogenarians than in other patients. The octogenarian age group was not an independent predictor of postoperative complications in a univariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS Survival outcomes were poor in octogenarians. However, an age ≥ 80 years old alone should not be considered a contraindication for pancreatic cancer surgery. The maintenance of perioperative nutritional status is an important factor associated with the survival.

Efficacy and Safety of Rivaroxaban for Extremely Aged Patients with Venous Thromboembolism: A Retrospective, Cross-Sectional Real-World Study. Clin Interv Aging 2024; 19:1103-1116. [PMID: 38915432 PMCID: PMC11194160 DOI: 10.2147/cia.s405075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Rivaroxaban, a non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant, has become widely used for the management of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in adult patients. However, few trials have explored the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban in VTE patients over 80 years of age. This necessitates further real-world studies of rivaroxaban across elderly populations. Methods We performed a retrospective single center study involving extremely aged VTE sufferers treated with rivaroxaban. The sample comprised 121 patients newly initiated on rivaroxaban diagnosed between January 2018 and January 2020. Patients were followed up for no less than 2 years. The effectiveness outcome was the disappearance of thromboembolism. The safety outcome was the incidence of major bleeding events. Comorbidities and complications were recorded throughout the entire study. Results The efficacy outcome occurred in 114 of 121 patients (94.21%) and the safety outcome occurred in 12 of 121 patients (9.91%). Increased hemorrhages were observed in patients with infection (15.15% vs 7.80%), but no significant difference was observed due to limited sample size (P=0.3053). Patients with an age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index score higher than 6 points exhibited higher bleeding rates (14.08% vs 4.00%; P=0.0676) and lower thrombus cure rates (88.73% vs 100%; P=0.0203). Key conclusions Patients with infection should be more careful of bleeding events during rivaroxaban therapy. An age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index score higher than 6, which predicted poor survival, indicated inferior safety and efficacy of rivaroxaban. Aim To investigate the efficacy and safety of Rivaroxaban in an aged venous thromboembolism patient population under real-world conditions.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy that is characterized by early metastasis, high recurrence, and therapy resistance. Early recurrence after surgery is one of the important reasons affecting the prognosis of pancreatic cancer. This study aimed to establish an accurate preoperative nomogram model for predicting early recurrence (ER) for resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma between January 2011 and December 2020. The training set consisted of 604 patients, while the validation set included 222 patients. Survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves. The factors influencing early recurrence of resectable pancreatic cancer after surgery were investigated, then the predictive model for early recurrence was established, and subsequently the predictive model was validated based on the data of the validation group. The preoperative risk factors for ER included a Charlson age-comorbidity index ≥ 4 (odds ratio [OR]: 0.628), tumor size > 3.0 cm on computed tomography (OR: 0.628), presence of clinical symptoms (OR: 0.515), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 > 181.3 U/mL (OR 0.396), and carcinoembryonic antigen > 6.01 (OR: 0.440). The area under the curve (AUC) of the predictive model in the training group was 0.711 (95% confidence interval: 0.669-0.752), while it reached 0.730 (95% CI: 0.663-0.797) in the validation group. The predictive model may enable the prediction of the risk of postoperative ER in patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, thereby optimizing preoperative decision-making for effective treatment.

Abstract
(1) Background: Patients' comorbidities play an immanent role in perioperative risk assessment. It is unknown how Charlson Comorbidity Indices (CCIs) from different sources compare. (2) Methods: In this prospective observational study, we compared the CCIs of patients derived from patients' self-reports and from physicians' assessments with hospital administrative data. (3) Results: The data of 1007 patients was analyzed. Agreement between the CCI from patients' self-report compared to administrative data was fair (kappa 0.24 [95%CI 0.2-0.28]). Agreement between physicians' assessment and the administrative data was also fair (kappa 0.28 [95%CI 0.25-0.31]). Physicians' assessment and patients' self-report had the best agreement (kappa 0.33 [95%CI 0.30-0.37]). The CCI calculated from the administrative data showed the best predictability for in-hospital mortality (AUROC 0.86 [95%CI 0.68-0.91]), followed by equally good prediction from physicians' assessment (AUROC 0.80 [95%CI 0.65-0.94]) and patients' self-report (AUROC 0.80 [95%CI 0.75-0.97]). (4) Conclusions: CCIs derived from patients' self-report, physicians' assessments, and administrative data perform equally well in predicting postoperative in-hospital mortality.

Scand J Gastroenterol 2024; 59:333-343. [PMID: 38018772 DOI: 10.1080/00365521.2023.2286193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
The prognostic role of the Age-Adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI) in hilar cholangiocarcinoma patients undergoing laparoscopic resection is unclear. To evaluate ACCI's effect on overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS), we gathered data from 136 patients who underwent laparoscopic resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma at Zhengzhou University People's Hospital between 1 June 2018 and 1 June 2022. ACCI scores were categorized into high ACCI (ACCI > 4.0) and low ACCI (ACCI ≤ 4.0) groups. We examined ACCI's association with OS and RFS using Cox regression analyses and developed an ACCI-based nomogram for survival prediction. Our analysis revealed that higher ACCI scores (ACCI > 4.0) (HR = 2.14, 95%CI: 1.37-3.34) were identified as an independent risk factor significantly affecting both OS and RFS in postoperative patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (p < 0.05). TNM stage III-IV (HR = 7.42, 95%CI: 3.11-17.68), not undergoing R0 resection (HR = 1.58, 95%CI: 1.01-2.46), hemorrhage quantity > 350 mL (HR = 1.92, 95%CI: 1.24-2.97), and not receiving chemotherapy (HR = 1.89, 95%CI: 1.21-2.95) were also independent risk factors for OS. The ACCI-based nomogram accurately predicted the 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates, with Area Under the Curve (AUC) values of 0.818, 0.844, and 0.924, respectively. Calibration curves confirmed the nomogram's accuracy, and decision curve analysis highlighted its superior predictive performance. These findings suggest that a higher ACCI is associated with a worse prognosis in patients undergoing laparoscopic resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. The ACCI-based nomogram could aid clinicians in making accurate predictions about patient survival and facilitate individualized treatment planning.

Abstract
This study was aimed to integrate tumor size with other prognostic factors into a prognostic nomogram to predict cancer-specific survival (CSS) in locally advanced (≥pT3a Nany M0) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. Based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, 10,800 patients diagnosed with locally advanced RCC were collected. They were randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 7,056) and a validation cohort (n = 3,024). X-tile program was used to identify the optimal cut-off value of tumor size and age. The cut-off of age at diagnosis was 65 years old and 75 years old. The cut-off of tumor size was 54 mm and 119 mm. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed in the training cohort to identify independent prognostic factors for construction of nomogram. Then, the nomogram was used to predict the 1-, 3- and 5-year CSS. The performance of nomogram was evaluated by using concordance index (C-index), area under the Subject operating curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis (DCA). Moreover, the nomogram and tumor node metastasis (TNM) staging system (AJCC 8th edition) were compared. 10 variables were screened to develop the nomogram. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) indicated satisfactory ability of the nomogram. Compared with the AJCC 8th edition of TNM stage, DCA showed that the nomogram had improved performance. We developed and validated a nomogram for predicting the CSS of patients with locally advanced RCC, which was more precise than the AJCC 8th edition of TNM staging system.

Influences of comorbidities on perioperative rehabilitation in patients with gastrointestinal cancers: a retrospective study. World J Surg Oncol 2023; 21:336.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Older patients are more likely to have comorbidities than younger patients, and multiple comorbidities are associated with mortality in patients with cancer. Therefore, we hypothesized that a functional comorbidity index could predict the therapeutic effects of rehabilitation. OBJECTIVES In this study, we investigate whether the comorbidities influenced the execution and therapeutic effects of rehabilitation. METHODS A consecutive cohort of 48 patients with gastrointestinal cancer who underwent surgery between January 1 and November 30, 2020, was analyzed. Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores were calculated based on data derived from medical records. The primary outcomes were ambulation status, duration (days) from the start of postoperative rehabilitation, and length of hospital stay. We investigated the relationship between CCI scores and primary outcomes. RESULTS The CCI did not correlate with the duration of rehabilitation or the length of hospital stay. Subsequently, patients with functional recovery problems were evaluated, and we identified the conditions that were not included in the list using CCI scores. Most conditions are associated with surgical complications. Furthermore, using the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC), we assessed the clinical features of the severity of complications. We found that the length of stay and the duration to start rehabilitation were significantly longer in the patients with higher severity of surgical complications (CDC≧III) than in those with lower severity (CDC≦II). CONCLUSIONS Treatment-related conditions may significantly impact the perioperative period more than the original comorbidities. In addition to original comorbidities, events related to surgical complications should be assessed to determine the therapeutic effects of rehabilitation in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.

Abstract
We present the case of a 100-year-old man with no specific symptoms. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a 34 mm tumor in the pancreatic tail, which was diagnosed as pancreatic cancer by biopsy. CT and magnetic resonance imaging showed that the tumor was resectable, and there were no noncurative factors on staging laparoscopy (cT3N0M0: cStage IIA). His performance status was good, and hypertension was the only comorbidity. A cardiologist, respiratory physician, and anesthesiologist examined the patient and determined that his condition was suitable for surgery. His postoperative predicted mortality rate was 0.9% using the American College of Surgeons risk calculator. We administered synbiotics and nutrients before surgery and introduced preoperative rehabilitation to improve his activities of daily living (ADL) as well as respiratory training to prevent postoperative pneumonia. Regarding the invasiveness of the surgery, we performed laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy with D1 lymphadenectomy. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 17, without any major complications. When performing pancreatectomy in older adults, it is important to fully assess preoperative tolerance and perioperative risk and prevent worsening of ADL by introducing nutritional therapy and rehabilitation.

Weekday-dependent long-term outcomes in gastrointestinal cancer surgery: a German population-based retrospective cohort study. Int J Surg 2023; 109:3126-3136. [PMID: 37418560 PMCID: PMC10583906 DOI: 10.1097/js9.0000000000000580] [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: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND For most solid cancers, surgery represents the mainstay of curative treatment. Several studies investigating the effects of the weekday of surgery (WOS) on patient outcomes have yielded conflicting results. Barmer, the second-largest health insurance company in Germany, serves roughly 10% of the German population. The authors have used the Barmer database to evaluate how the weekday on which the surgery is performed influences long-term oncologic outcomes. METHODS For this retrospective cohort study, the Barmer database was used to investigate the effect of the WOS (Monday-Friday) on outcomes following oncological resections of the colorectum ( n =49 003), liver ( n =1302), stomach ( n =5027), esophagus ( n =1126), and pancreas ( n =6097). In total, 62 555 cases from 2008 to 2018 were included in the analysis. The endpoints were overall survival (OS), postoperative complications, and the necessity for therapeutic interventions or reoperations. The authors further examined whether the annual caseload or certification as a cancer center influenced the weekday effect. RESULTS The authors observed a significantly impaired OS for patients receiving gastric or colorectal resections on a Monday. Colorectal surgery performed on Mondays was associated with more postoperative complications and a higher probability of reoperations. The annual caseload or a certification as a colorectal cancer center had no bearing on the observed weekday effect. There is evidence that hospitals schedule older patients with more comorbidities earlier in the week, possibly explaining these findings. CONCLUSION This is the first study investigating the influence of the WOS on long-term survival in Germany. Our findings indicate that, in the German healthcare system, patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery on Mondays have more postoperative complications and, therefore, require significantly more reoperations, ultimately lowering the OS. This surprising finding appears to reflect an attempt to schedule patients with higher postoperative risk earlier in the week as well as semi-elective patients admitted on weekends scheduled for surgery on the next Monday.

Association of high-risk comorbidity with overall survival among patients with gastric cancer and its sex-specific differences in China: a retrospective observational cohort study. BMC Cancer 2023; 23:916. [PMID: 37770842 PMCID: PMC10537123 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11374-4] [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: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Concomitant diseases often occur in cancer patients and are important in decision-making regarding treatments. However, information regarding the prognostic relevance of comorbidities for mortality risk is still limited among Chinese gastric cancer (GC) patients. This study aimed to investigate the association between comorbidities and 3-year mortality risk. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 376 GC patients undergoing radical gastrectomy at the Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University from January 2011 to December 2019. Demographic and clinicopathological information and treatment outcomes were collected. Patients were divided into low-, moderate- and high-risk comorbidity groups based on their Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and age-adjusted CCI (ACCI) scores. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analyses were used to examine 3-year overall survival (OS) and mortality risk for each group. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 43.5 months, and 40.2% (151/376) of GC patients had died at the last follow-up. There were significant differences in OS rates between ACCI-based comorbidity groups (76.56; 64.51; 54.55%, log-rank P = 0.011) but not between CCI-based comorbidity groups (log-rank P = 0.16). The high-risk comorbidity group based on the ACCI remained a significant prognostic factor for 3-year OS in multivariate analysis, with an increased mortality risk (hazard ratio [HR], 1.99; 95% CI, 1.15-3.44). Subgroup analysis revealed that this pattern only held for male GC patients but not for female patients. CONCLUSION The present study suggested that high-risk comorbidities were significantly associated with a higher mortality risk, particularly in Chinese male GC patients. Moreover, the ACCI score was an independent prognostic factor of long-term mortality.

Survival variability across hospitals after resection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma: A multilevel survival analysis on a high-resolution population-based study. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2023; 49:1450-1456. [PMID: 37055280 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2023.03.228] [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: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/15/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Resection is the cornerstone of curative management for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Hospital surgical volume influence post-operative mortality. Few is known about impact on survival. METHODS Population included 763 patients resected for PDAC within the 4 French digestive tumor registries between 2000 and 2014. Spline method was used to determine annual surgical volume thresholds influencing survival. A multilevel survival regression model was used to study center effect. RESULTS Population was divided into three groups: low-volume (LVC) (<41 hepatobiliary/pancreatic procedures/year), medium-volume (MVC) (41-233) and high-volume centers (HVC) (>233). Patients in LVC were older (p = 0.02), had a lower rate of disease-free margins (76.7% vs. 77.2% and 69.5%, p = 0.028) and a higher post-operative mortality than in MVC and HVC (12.5% and 7.5% vs. 2.2%; p = 0.004). Median survival was higher in HVC than in other centers (25 vs. 15.2 months, p < 0.0001). Survival variance attributable to center effect accounted for 3.7% of total variance. In multilevel survival analysis, surgical volume explained the inter-hospital survival heterogeneity (non-significant variance after adding the volume to the model p = 0.3). Patients resected in HVC had a better survival than in LVC (HR 0.64 [0.50-0.82], p < 0.0001). There was no difference between MVC and HVC. CONCLUSION Regarding center effect, individual characteristics had little impact on survival variability across hospitals. Hospital volume was a major contributor to the center effect. Given the difficulty of centralizing pancreatic surgery, it would be wise to determine which factors would indicate management in a HVC.

Development of a model based on the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index to predict survival for resected perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. World J Gastrointest Oncol 2023; 15:1036-1050. [PMID: 37389112 PMCID: PMC10302988 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v15.i6.1036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) has a poor prognosis and urgently needs a better predictive method. The predictive value of the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) for the long-term prognosis of patients with multiple malignancies was recently reported. However, pCCA is one of the most surgically difficult gastrointestinal tumors with the poorest prognosis, and the value of the ACCI for the prognosis of pCCA patients after curative resection is unclear.
AIM To evaluate the prognostic value of the ACCI and to design an online clinical model for pCCA patients.
METHODS Consecutive pCCA patients after curative resection between 2010 and 2019 were enrolled from a multicenter database. The patients were randomly assigned 3:1 to training and validation cohorts. In the training and validation cohorts, all patients were divided into low-, moderate-, and high-ACCI groups. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to determine the impact of the ACCI on overall survival (OS) for pCCA patients, and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors affecting OS. An online clinical model based on the ACCI was developed and validated. The concordance index (C-index), calibration curve, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to evaluate the predictive performance and fit of this model.
RESULTS A total of 325 patients were included. There were 244 patients in the training cohort and 81 patients in the validation cohort. In the training cohort, 116, 91 and 37 patients were classified into the low-, moderate- and high-ACCI groups. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that patients in the moderate- and high-ACCI groups had worse survival rates than those in the low-ACCI group. Multivariable analysis revealed that moderate and high ACCI scores were independently associated with OS in pCCA patients after curative resection. In addition, an online clinical model was developed that had ideal C-indexes of 0.725 and 0.675 for predicting OS in the training and validation cohorts. The calibration curve and ROC curve indicated that the model had a good fit and prediction performance.
CONCLUSION A high ACCI score may predict poor long-term survival in pCCA patients after curative resection. High-risk patients screened by the ACCI-based model should be given more clinical attention in terms of the management of comorbidities and postoperative follow-up.

Abstract
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a mainstay in the management of periampullary tumors. Treatment algorithms increasingly employ a multimodal strategy, which includes neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies. However, the successful treatment of a patient is contingent on the execution of a complex operation, whereby minimizing postoperative complications and optimizing a fast and complete recovery are crucial to the overall success. In this setting, risk reduction and benchmarking the quality of care are essential frameworks through which modern perioperative PD care must be delivered. The postoperative course is primarily influenced by pancreatic fistulas, but other patient- and hospital-associated factors, such as frailty and the ability to rescue from complications, also affect the outcomes. A comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing surgical outcomes allows the clinician to risk stratify the patient, thereby facilitating a frank discussion of the morbidity and mortality of PD. Further, such an understanding allows the clinician to practice based on the most up-to-date evidence. This review intends to provide clinicians with a roadmap to the perioperative PD pathway. We review key considerations in the pre-, intra-, and post-operative periods.

Abstract
Introduction Age and comorbidity are independently associated with worse outcomes for pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the effect of combined age and comorbidity on PDAC outcomes has rarely been studied. This study assessed the impact of age and comorbidity (CACI) and surgical center volume on PDAC 90-day and overall survival (OS). Methods This retrospective cohort study used the National Cancer Database from 2004 to 2016 to evaluate resected stage I/II PDAC patients. The predictor variable, CACI, combined the Charlson/Deyo comorbidity score with additional points for each decade lived ≥50 years. The outcomes were 90-day mortality and OS. Results The cohort included 29,571 patients. Ninety-day mortality ranged from 2 % for CACI 0 to 13 % for CACI 6+ patients. There was a negligible difference (1 %) in 90-day mortality between high- and low-volume hospitals for CACI 0-2 patients; however, there was greater difference for CACI 3-5 (5 % vs. 9 %) and CACI 6+ (8 % vs. 15 %). The overall survival for CACI 0-2, 3-5, and 6+ cohorts was 24.1, 19.8, and 16.2 months, respectively. Adjusted overall survival showed a 2.7 and 3.1 month survival benefit for care at high-volume vs. low-volume hospitals for CACI 0-2 and 3-5, respectively. However, there was no OS volume benefit for CACI 6+ patients. Conclusions Combined age and comorbidity are associated with short- and long-term survival for resected PDAC patients. A protective effect of higher-volume care was more impactful for 90-day mortality for patients with a CACI above 3. A centralization policy based on volume may have greater benefit for older, sicker patients. Key message Combined comorbidity and age are strongly associated with 90-day mortality and overall survival for resected pancreatic cancer patients. When assessing the impact of age and comorbidity on resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma outcomes, 90-day mortality was 7 % higher (8 % vs. 15 %) for older, sicker patients treated at high-volume vs. low-volume centers but only 1 % (3 % vs. 4 %) for younger, healthier patients.

Front Surg 2023; 10:1121357. [PMID: 37035571 PMCID: PMC10075306 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2023.1121357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives This retrospective study aimed to describe our institutional experience with cytoreductive cystectomy (Cx) in patients with pathological T4 (pT4) bladder cancer (BCa) and to investigate the clinicopathologic factors that can predict patient survival outcomes. Methods We reviewed the baseline demographics, clinicopathologic features, perioperative complications, and follow-up data of 44 patients who underwent Cx for pT4 BCa at our institution between 2013 and 2021. The Kaplan-Meier curve and the log-rank test were used to analyze progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the Cox regression model. Results The median age of the patients was 68 years [95% confidence interval (CI) 49-81]. Overall, 21 patients (47.7%) were estimated to have a high age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) score (>4), and nine patients (20.5%) had pT4b substage BCa. None of the patients died of complications within 30-90 days after surgery. Severe complications occurred in 16% (n = 7) of patients within 30-90 days. During a median follow-up of 51 months, disease progression was detected in 25 patients (56.8%), and 29 patients (65.9%) died of any cause. The median PFS and OS were 15.0 and 21.0 months, respectively. The Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that patients with high ACCI scores or pT4b BCa had worse PFS (P = 0.003 and P = 0.002, respectively) and OS (P = 0.016 and P = 0.034, respectively) than those with low ACCI scores or pT4a BCa. On multivariate analysis, pT4b substage [hazard ratio (HR), 4.166; 95% CI, 1.549-11.206; P = 0.005] and ACCI score >4 (HR, 2.329; 95% CI, 1.105-4.908; P = 0.026) remained independent risk factors for PFS and OS, respectively. Conclusion Our study revealed that the pT4b substage is associated with a poor prognosis and that the ACCI score is a relevant and practical method to evaluate survival outcomes in patients with pT4 BCa after Cx.

Abstract
Objective: Vital signs abnormalities in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) may identify patients at risk of severe postoperative complications in the general ward, but are sparsely investigated by continuous monitoring. We aimed to assess if the severity of vital signs abnormalities in the PACU was correlated to the duration of severe vital signs abnormalities and serious adverse events (SAEs) in the general ward. Design: Prospective cohort study. Primary exposure was PACU vital signs abnormalities assessed by a standardised PACU recovery score. Participants: Adult patients, aged ≥ 60 years, who underwent major abdominal cancer surgery. Main outcome measures: The duration of severe vital signs abnormalities were assessed by continuous wireless vital signs monitoring and, secondly, by any SAE within the first 96 hours in the general ward. Results: One-hundred patients were included, and 92 patients with a median of 91 hours (interquartile range, 71-95 hours) of vital signs recording were analysed. The maximum vital signs abnormalities in the PACU were not significantly correlated to overall vital signs abnormalities in the general ward (R = 0.13; P = 0.22). Severe circulatory abnormalities in the overall PACU stay and at discharge were significantly correlated to the duration of circulatory vital signs abnormalities on the ward (R = 0.32 [P = 0.00021] and R = 0.26 [P = 0.014], respectively). Seventeen patients (18%) experienced SAEs, without significant association to the PACU stay (area under the receiver operating characteristic [AUROC], 0.59; 95% CI, 0.46-0.73). Conclusion: Vital signs abnormalities in the PACU did not show a tendency towards predicting overall severe vital signs abnormalities or SAEs during the first days in the general ward. Circulatory abnormalities in the PACU showed a tendency towards predicting circulatory complications in the ward.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop and validate a pretreatment prognostic score in pancreatic cancer (PDAC). BACKGROUND Pretreatment prognostication in PDAC is important for treatment decisions but remains challenging. Available prognostic tools are derived from selected cohorts of patients who underwent resection, excluding up to 20% of patients with exploration only, and do not adequately reflect the pretreatment scenario. METHODS Patients undergoing surgery for PDAC in Heidelberg from July 2006 to June 2014 were identified from a prospective database. Pretreatment parameters were extracted from the database and the laboratory information system. Parameters independently associated with overall survival by uni- and multivariable analyses were used to build a prognostic score. A contemporary cohort from Verona was used for external validation. RESULTS In 1197 patients, multiple pretreatment parameters were associated with overall survival by univariable analyses. American Society of Anesthesiology classification, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), carcinoembryonic antigen, C-reactive protein, albumin, and platelet count were independently associated with survival and were used to create the Heidelberg Prognostic Pancreatic Cancer (HELPP)-score. The HELPP-score was closely associated with overall survival (median survival between 31.3 and 4.8 months; 5-year survival rates between 35% and 0%) and was able to stratify survival in subgroups with or without resection as well as in CA19-9 nonsecretors. In the resected subgroup the HELPP-score stratified survival independently of pathological prognostic factors. The HELPP-score was externally validated and was superior to CA19-9 in both the development and validation cohorts. CONCLUSION The HELPP-score is a readily available prognostic tool based on pretreatment routine parameters to stratify survival in PDAC independently of resection status and pathological tumor stage.

Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index is a valuable prognostic tool in operable soft tissue sarcoma of trunk and extremities. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2022; 109:103491. [PMID: 36455864 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2022.103491] [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: 02/04/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced age and presence of comorbidities affect prognosis and treatment decisions in patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS). However, coeffect of age and comorbidities is still unknown. We aimed to investigate prognostic value of age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI) in trunk and extremity STS operated with curative intent. HYPOTHESIS Preoperative ACCI might predict survival outcomes independently in patients with STS of trunk and extremities. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 151 patients and ACCI was calculated for each patient. We categorized the patients into two groups according to median ACCI. We retrospectively collected data about clinicopathologic and treatment-related factors, and evaluated potential prognostic factors for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Median age was 50 (18-86) years. There were 89 male and 62 female patients. Lower extremities were the most common tumor sites (73.5%). Most of the patients had high grade tumors (84.1%) and stage 3 disease (66.9%). Radiotherapy and chemotherapy were carried out in 106 and 58 patients, respectively. Overall prevalence of comorbidity was 29.1%. Median ACCI was 3 (2-9). Older age (p<0.001), worse performance status (p<0.001), larger tumor size (p=0.03), higher grade tumors (p=0.03) and advanced stage (p=0.04) were associated with higher ACCI (≥3). Median follow-up time was 32 months, 50.3% of patients had disease recurrence, and 35.8% died. Median DFS (p=0.001) and OS (p=0.001) of patients with low ACCI (<3) were significantly longer than patients with high ACCI. Multivariate analysis determined ACCI as an independent prognostic indicator for both DFS (HR 1.72, p=0.02) and OS (HR 2.02, p=0.04). DISCUSSION ACCI is a valuable prognostic tool to be used in the preoperative setting of patients with STS. Higher ACCI was found to be independently associated with worse survival outcomes. For each patient with STS, evaluating comorbidities and combining them with age appears to be a critical step in modifying therapy options. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, retrospective observational study.

Effect of the Age-Adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index on the Survival of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients after Radical Esophagectomy. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11226737. [PMID: 36431214 PMCID: PMC9696569 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11226737] [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: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
We aimed to investigate whether the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) can predict the postoperative overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients. Between 1 July 2015 and 31 July 2021, a retrospective cohort study was conducted among patients with primary ESCC who underwent radical esophagectomy. A total of 352 patients were included, with median age of 63.00 (IQR (interquartile range) 56.00-68.00). The patients were divided into low (n = 300) and high (n = 52) ACCI groups based on the optimal cut-off value of 5 points. Chronic pulmonary disease (38.4%) was the most common comorbidity. The results of the multivariate Cox regression showed that the ACCI (HR = 1.63, 95%CI: 1.04-2.56), tumor size (HR = 1.67, 95%CI: 1.05-2.66), pTNM (II vs. I, HR = 4.74, 95%CI: 1.82-12.32; III vs. I, HR = 6.08, 95%CI: 2.37-15.60), and postoperative chemotherapy (HR = 0.60, 95%CI: 0.40-0.91) were significantly associated with the OS. Furthermore, the ACCI, tumor size, pTNM, and postoperative chemotherapy were also significantly associated with the CSS. Interactions were identified between the ACCI and postoperative chemotherapy, pTNM stage, and tumor size in relation to the OS and CSS. In conclusion, the ACCI may be an independent prognostic factor affecting the long-term prognosis of patients after radical esophagectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comorbidities increase the risk for postoperative complications after pancreatoduodenectomy. The importance of different categories of heart disease on postoperative outcomes has not been thoroughly studied. METHODS Patients aged ≥18 years undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy between 2008 and 2019 at Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden were included. Heart disease was defined as a preoperatively established diagnosis, and subcategorized into ischaemic, valvular, heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Postoperative outcome was analysed by multivariable regression. RESULTS Out of 971 patients, 225 (23.3%) had heart disease. Heart disease was associated with an increased risk for complications; Clavien-Dindo score ≥ IIIa (Odds Ratio [OR] 1.53, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-2.18; p = 0.019), intensive care unit admissions (OR 3.20, 95% CI 1.81-5.66; p < 0.001) and longer hospitalizations (median 14 vs. 11 days; p < 0.001). Although heart disease was not associated with 90-day mortality, it conferred a shorter median overall survival (22 vs. 32 months; p < 0.001). Atrial fibrillation and heart failure were each associated with increased risk for postoperative complications, whereas ischaemic and valvular heart disease were not. CONCLUSION Atrial fibrillation and heart failure were independently associated with increased risk for postoperative complications. Despite no association with early postoperative mortality, heart disease negatively affected long-term survival.

Abstract
Purpose Testicular yolk sac tumor (TYST) is a rare malignant germ cell tumor that mainly occurs in young men. Due to the low incidence of yolk sac tumors, there is a lack of prospective cohort studies with large samples. We aimed to develop a nomogram to predict cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with TYST. Materials and methods Patient information was downloaded from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. We enrolled all patients with TYST from 2000 to 2018, and all patients were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to identify independent risk factors for patients. We constructed a nomogram based on the multivariate Cox regression model to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year CSS in patients with TYST. We used a series of validation methods to test the accuracy and reliability of the model, including the concordance index (C-index), calibration curve and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results 619 patients with TYST were enrolled in the study. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, T stage, M stage and chemotherapy were independent risk factors for CSS. A nomogram was constructed to predict the patient's CSS. The C-index of the training set and the validation set were 0.901 (95%CI: 0.859-0.847) and 0.855 (95%CI: 0.865-0.845), respectively, indicating that the model had excellent discrimination. The AUC showed the same results. The calibration curve also indicated that the model had good accuracy. Conclusions In this study, we constructed the nomogram for the first time to predict the CSS of patients with TYST, which has good accuracy and reliability and can help doctors and patients make clinical decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) has different clinical and prognostic characteristics, beyond histological factors, when compared to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). AIMS compare prognostic features of resected PDAC and invasive IPMN METHODS: A retrospective study of patients resected for PDAC or invasive IPMN realized at Humanitas Cancer Center's Pancreatic Surgery Unit, Milan, Italy, between 2010 and 2016. Data recorded included patient demographics, onset symptoms, preoperative health status, tumor features, histology and surgical characteristics. Overall survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier and prognostic factors for survival were assessed by multivariate Cox regression. RESULTS A total of 332 patients were included (PDAC, n = 289; invasive IPMN, n = 43). Patients with invasive IPMN had better overall survival than PDAC patients (median: 76.6 versus 25.6 months; 5-year OS rate: 65.4% vs. 14.2%; p < 0.001). PDAC histology was associated with a significantly higher risk of death than IPMN (hazard ratio 1.815, 95% CI: 1.02, 3.24; p = 0.044). Survival was also worse with PDAC in early-stage disease (IA-IB-IIA, N0). In multivariate analysis, independent predictors of worse survival included perineural invasion, preoperative ASA physical status ≥3 and pain at diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Patients with IPMN had a better prognosis than PDAC patients, regardless of disease stage.

[PMID: 35273943 PMCID: PMC8902051 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.840525] [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: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common renal malignancy in adults, and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC) is the third most common subtype of RCC. We aimed to construct a competitive risk model to predict cancer-specific survival (CSS) in elderly patients with chRCC. Methods The clinicopathological information of the patients was downloaded from the SEER database, and the patients were randomly divided into the training and validation cohorts. Patients' risk factors for cancer-specific death (CSM) were analyzed using proportional subdistribution hazard (SH). We constructed a competitive risk model to predict the CSS of elderly chRCC patients. Consistency index (C-index), the area under receiver operating curve (AUC), and a calibration curve were used to validate the model's accuracy. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to test the clinical value of the model. Results A total of 3,522 elderly patients with chRCC were included in the analysis. Patients were randomly assigned to either the training cohort (N = 2,474) or the validation cohort (N = 1,048). SH analysis found that age, race, T, N, and M stage, tumor size, and surgery were risk factors for CSM. We constructed a competitive risk model to predict patients' CSS. In the training set, the model predicted patients' 1-, 3-, and 5-year CSS with C-indices of 82.2, 80.8, and 78.2, respectively. The model predicted patient 1-, 3-, and 5-year CSS in the validation cohort with C-indices of 84.7, 83.4, and 76.9, respectively. The calibration curve showed that the model's predicted value is almost consistent with the observed value, which indicated that the model has good accuracy. The AUC of the training set and validation queue also suggested that the model has good discrimination. The clinical utility of the DCA model in predicting patients' CSS is higher than that of traditional TNM staging. Conclusions We constructed a competitive risk model to predict CSS in elderly patients with chRCC. The model has good accuracy and reliability, which can help doctors and patients to make clinical decisions and follow-up strategies.

Development and Validation of a Nomogram to Predict Cancer-Specific Survival in Elderly Patients With Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma. Front Public Health 2022; 10:874427. [PMID: 35444972 PMCID: PMC9015096 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.874427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is the second most common type of renal cell carcinoma and an important disease affecting older patients. We aimed to establish a nomogram to predict cancer-specific survival (CSS) in elderly patients with pRCC. Methods Patient information was downloaded from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) project, and we included all elderly patients with pRCC from 2004 to 2018. All patients were randomly divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression models were used to identify patient independent risk factors. We constructed a nomogram based on a multivariate Cox regression model to predict CSS for 1-, 3-, and 5- years in elderly patients with pRCC. A series of validation methods were used to validate the accuracy and reliability of the model, including consistency index (C-index), calibration curve, and area under the Subject operating curve (AUC). Results A total of 13,105 elderly patients with pRCC were enrolled. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that age, tumor size, histological grade, TNM stage, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were independent risk factors for survival. We constructed a nomogram to predict patients' CSS. The training and validation cohort's C-index were 0.853 (95%CI: 0.859–0.847) and 0.855 (95%CI: 0.865–0.845), respectively, suggesting that the model had good discrimination ability. The AUC showed the same results. The calibration curve also indicates that the model has good accuracy. Conclusions In this study, we constructed a nomogram to predict the CSS of elderly pRCC patients, which has good accuracy and reliability and can help doctors and patients make clinical decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify predictors for early and very early disease recurrence in patients undergoing resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) resection with and without neoadjuvant therapy. METHODS Included were patients who underwent PDAC resection (2014-2016). Multivariable multinomial regression was performed to identify preoperative predictors for manifestation of recurrence within 3, 6 and 12 months after PDAC resection. RESULTS 836 patients with a median follow-up of 37 (interquartile range [IQR] 30-48) months and overall survival of 18 (IQR 10-32) months were analyzed. 670 patients (80%) developed recurrence: 82 patients (10%) <3 months, 96 patients (11%) within 3-6 months and 226 patients (27%) within 6-12 months. LogCA 19-9 (OR 1.25 [95% CI 1.10-1.41]; P < 0.001) and neoadjuvant treatment (OR 0.09 [95% CI 0.01-0.68]; P = 0.02) were associated with recurrence <3 months. LogCA 19-9 (OR 1.23 [95% CI 1.10-1.38]; P < 0.001) and 0-90° venous involvement on CT imaging (OR 2.93 [95% CI 1.60-5.37]; P < 0.001) were associated with recurrence within 3-6 months. A Charlson Age Comorbidity Index ≥4 (OR 1.53 [95% CI 1.09-2.16]; P = 0.02) and logCA 19-9 (OR 1.24 [95% CI 1.14-1.35]; P < 0.001) were related to recurrence within 6-12 months. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates preoperative predictors that are associated with the manifestation of early and very early recurrence after PDAC resection. Knowledge of these predictors can be used to guide individualized surveillance and treatment strategies.

The impact of the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index as a prognostic factor for endoscopic papillectomy in ampullary tumors. J Gastroenterol 2022; 57:199-207. [PMID: 35098349 DOI: 10.1007/s00535-022-01853-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 01/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) have been useful for predicting the prognosis based on nutritional condition and comorbidities in surgery and endoscopic mucosal dissection. The age-adjusted CCI (ACCI) has also been reported to be useful in surgery, but it has not been applied to endoscopic treatment. We therefore clarified the prognostic factors associated with ampullary tumors treated with endoscopic papillectomy (EP). METHODS From January 2003 to December 2020, 236 patients who underwent EP for sporadic ampullary tumors at Nagoya University Hospital were included in this study. The 5-year survival and ability to predict the prognosis were evaluated in terms of the sex, PNI, ACCI, final pathological diagnosis, and intraductal extension. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 1558 days, 17 patients died. No patient died of the primary disease. The 5-year survival rate was 91.1%. In a univariate analysis, only a high ACCI (≥ 5) was extracted as a significant prognostic factor (Odds ratio, 12.2; 95% confidence interval, 3.81-39.3; p < 0.001). The 5-year survival rates for a low ACCI (≤ 4) and high ACCI were 96.6% and 73.5%, respectively (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A high ACCI is an important prognostic factor associated with the 5-year survival and a risk of death from other illness. Ampullary tumors suitable for EP are less likely to be a prognostic factor, and treatment-free follow-up may be acceptable in patients with a high ACCI.

Abstract
Background Decision-making in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas depends on scaling the risk of malignancy with the surgical burden of a pancreatectomy. This study aimed to develop a preoperative, disease-specific tool to predict surgical morbidity for IPMNs. Methods Based on preoperative variables of resected IPMNs at two high-volume institutions, classification tree analysis was applied to derive a predictive model identifying the risk factors for major morbidity (Clavien–Dindo ≥3) and postoperative pancreatic insufficiency. Results Among 524 patients, 289 (55.2%) underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), 144 (27.5%) underwent distal pancreatectomy (DP), and 91 (17.4%) underwent total pancreatectomy (TP) for main-duct (18.7%), branch-duct (12.6%), or mixed-type (68.7%) IPMN. For 98 (18.7%) of the patients, major morbidity developed. The classification tree distinguished different probabilities of major complications based on the type of surgery (area under the surve [AUC] 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63–0.77). Among the DP patients, the presence of preoperative diabetes identified two risk classes with respective probabilities of 5% and 25% for the development of major morbidity, whereas among the PD/TP patients, three different classes with respective probabilities of 15%, 20%, and 36% were identified according to age and body mass index (BMI). Overall, history of diabetes, age, and cyst size segregated three different risk classes for new-onset/worsening diabetes. Conclusions In presumed IPMNs, the disease-specific risk of major morbidity and pancreatic insufficiency can be determined in the preoperative setting and used to personalize the possible surgical indication. Age and overweight status in case of PD/TP and diabetes in case of DP tip the scale toward less aggressive clinical management in the absence of features suggestive for malignancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Older adults with gastrointestinal cancers undergoing surgery often experience poor outcomes, such as prolonged postoperative hospital length of stay (LOS), intensive care unit (ICU) use, hospital readmissions, and complications. Involvement of geriatricians in the care of older adults with cancer can improve outcomes. We conducted a randomized trial of a perioperative geriatric intervention (PERI-OP) in older patients with gastrointestinal cancer undergoing surgery. METHODS From 9/2016-4/2019, we randomly assigned patients age ≥ 65 with gastrointestinal cancer planning to undergo surgical resection to receive PERI-OP or usual care. Patients assigned to PERI-OP met with a geriatrician preoperatively in the outpatient setting and postoperatively as an inpatient consultant. The primary outcome was postoperative hospital LOS. Secondary outcomes included postoperative ICU use, 90-day hospital readmission rates, and complication rates. We conducted intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses. RESULTS ITT analyses included 137/160 patients who underwent surgery (usual care = 68/78, intervention = 69/82). PP analyses included the 68 usual care patients and the 30/69 intervention patients who received the preoperative and postoperative intervention components. ITT analyses demonstrated no significant differences between intervention and usual care in postoperative hospital LOS (7.23 vs 8.21 days, P = 0.374), ICU use (23.2% vs 32.4%, P = 0.257), 90-day hospital readmission rates (21.7% vs 25.0%, P = 0.690), or complication rates (17.4% vs 20.6%, P = 0.668). In PP analyses, intervention patients had shorter postoperative hospital LOS (5.90 vs 8.21 days, P = 0.024), but differences in ICU use (13.3% vs 32.4%, P = 0.081), 90-day hospital readmission rates (16.7% vs 25.0%, P = 0.439), and complication rates (6.7% vs 20.6%, P = 0.137) remained non-significant. CONCLUSIONS In this randomized trial, PERI-OP did not have a significant impact on postoperative hospital LOS, ICU use, hospital readmissions, or complications. However, the subgroup who received PERI-OP as planned experienced encouraging results. Future studies of PERI-OP should include efforts, such as telehealth, to ensure the intervention is delivered as planned.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to determine the factors that predict early death and establish a predictive model for early death by analyzing clinical characteristics of patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (R-PDAC) who die early after radical surgery. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective study of patients who underwent radical surgical resection for R-PDAC in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Patients with overall survival ≤ 12 months were assigned as early death group and above 1 year as the late death group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was conducted to identify factors significantly associated with early death. An early death predictive model was constructed based on the identified independent risk factors. Results A total of 9695 patients were analyzed, and the total incidence of early death was 30.72%. Multivariable analysis showed that factors significantly associated with early death included age at diagnosis, race, marital status, tumor location, tumor size, tumor grade, number of positive lymph nodes, number of examined lymph nodes, positive lymph node ratio, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. The predictive model showed good discrimination with a C-index of 0.722 (95% confidence interval: 0.711-0.733) and convincing calibration. Conclusions We developed a predictive model that may be easily applied to patients with R-PDAC after radical resection to predict the chance of death within 1 year. For patients with high risk of early death, neoadjuvant therapy should be considered. Even after radical resection, more aggressive adjuvant chemotherapy (with or without combined radiotherapy) must be used to minimize the chance of early death.

OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of a granular measure of SED on pancreatic surgical and cancer-related outcomes at a high-volume cancer center that employs a standardized clinic pathway. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Prior research has shown that low socioeconomic status leads to less treatment and worse outcomes for PDAC. However, these studies employed inconsistent definitions and categorizations of socioeconomic status, aggregated individual socioeconomic data using large geographic areas, and lacked detailed clinicopathologic variables. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 1552 PDAC patients between 2008 and 2015. Patients were stratified using the area deprivation index, a validated dataset that ranks census block groups based on SED. Multivariable models were used in the curative surgery cohort to predict the impact of SED on (1) grade 3/4 Clavien-Dindo complications, (2) initiation of adjuvant therapy, (3) completion of adjuvant therapy, and (4) overall survival. RESULTS Patients from high SED neighborhoods constituted 29.9% of the cohort. Median overall survival was 28 months. The rate of Clavien-Dindo grade 3/4 complications was 14.2% and completion of adjuvant therapy was 65.6%. There was no evidence that SED impacted surgical evaluation, receipt of curative-intent surgery, postoperative complications, receipt of adjuvant therapy or overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Although nearly one-quarter of curative-intent surgery patients were from high SED neighborhoods, this factor was not associated with measures of treatment quality or survival. These observations suggest that treatment at a high-volume cancer center employing a standardized clinical pathway may in part address socioeconomic disparities in pancreatic cancer.

Impact of Age and Comorbidity on Multimodal Management and Survival from Colorectal Cancer: A Population-Based Study. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10081751. [PMID: 33920665 PMCID: PMC8073362 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10081751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2021] [Revised: 04/04/2021] [Accepted: 04/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
This retrospective population-based study examined the impact of age and comorbidity burden on multimodal management and survival from colorectal cancer (CRC). From 2000 to 2015, 1479 consecutive patients, who underwent surgical resection for CRC, were reviewed for age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) including 19 well-defined weighted comorbidities. The impact of ACCI on multimodal management and survival was compared between low (score 0–2), intermediate (score 3) and high ACCI (score ≥ 4) groups. Changes in treatment from 2000 to 2015 were seen next to a major increase of laparoscopic surgery, increased use of adjuvant chemotherapy and an intensified treatment of metastatic disease. Patients with a high ACCI score were, by definition, older and had higher comorbidity. Major elective and emergency resections for colon carcinoma were evenly performed between the ACCI groups, as were laparoscopic and open resections. (Chemo)radiotherapy for rectal carcinoma was less frequently used, and a higher rate of local excisions, and consequently lower rate of major elective resections, was performed in the high ACCI group. Adjuvant chemotherapy and metastasectomy were less frequently used in the ACCI high group. Overall and cancer-specific survival from stage I-III CRC remained stable over time, but survival from stage IV improved. However, the 5-year overall survival from stage I–IV colon and rectal carcinoma was worse in the high ACCI group compared to the low ACCI group. Five-year cancer-specific and disease-free survival rates did not differ significantly by the ACCI. Cox proportional hazard analysis showed that high ACCI was an independent predictor of poor overall survival (p < 0.001). Our results show that despite improvements in multimodal management over time, old age and high comorbidity burden affect the use of adjuvant chemotherapy, preoperative (chemo)radiotherapy and management of metastatic disease, and worsen overall survival from CRC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The number of elderly patients with colorectal cancer has gradually increased. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is widely used to approach colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term outcomes in octogenarians who underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery for colorectal cancer. METHODS This study included 158 patients aged 80 or over who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer between 2010 and 2015. We compared long-term outcomes of a laparoscopic colorectal surgery group with those of an open colorectal surgery group by propensity score matching equalizing factors that could affect prognosis such as prognostic nutritional index and Charlson comorbidity index score. RESULTS Forty-eight pairs were selected after propensity score matching. The cancer-specific 5-year survival rate was 97.1% in the laparoscopic colorectal surgery group and 87.6% in the open colorectal surgery group (P = .17). The overall 5-year survival rate was 77.3% in the laparoscopic colorectal surgery group and 73.9% in the open colorectal surgery group (P = .32). The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate was 95.1% in the laparoscopic colorectal surgery group and 85.4% in the open colorectal surgery group (P = .14). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic colorectal surgery for octogenarians with colorectal cancer achieves similar oncological outcomes to open colorectal surgery and should be considered as a treatment option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent malignant primary liver tumour in a cirrhotic liver. Liver transplantation and resection are the only curative treatment options in compensated liver cirrhosis, but liver resections are associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality. PATIENTS We identified 108 cirrhotic patients, who underwent liver resections at the University Hospital of Mainz between January 2008 and December 2019. During the same period, 185 liver resections were performed for HCC in non-cirrhotic livers. Furthermore, 167 liver resections served as control group, which were performed for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) with comparable extent of resection to HCC in cirrhotic livers. Preoperatively, we assessed the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), MELD and Child scores in addition to the general patient characteristics. Perioperative morbidity was graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Resections of HCC in cirrhosis and liver metastases were additionally compared by a matched-pair analysis. RESULTS The three groups were comparable in age. Preoperative liver function was best in patients with CRLM (p < 0.001). Resections for HCC in non-cirrhotic livers were more extended than in cirrhotic livers (p < 0.001). The overall morbidity (Clavien/Dindo stage III - IV) was higher after resections in cirrhotic livers than in CRLM resections (p = 0.026). Postoperative mortality was comparably low in all three groups (2.2%). Neither MELD nor Child score was predictive for postoperative morbidity or mortality (area under the curve: AUC < 0.6, each). Preoperative CCI was predictive for postoperative mortality (AUC = 0.78). CONCLUSIONS Liver resections in cirrhotic livers are feasible after adequate patient selection and limitation of the extent of surgery. Comorbidities additionally increase the postoperative mortality in addition to impaired liver function and should therefore always be included into the preoperative assessment of patients undergoing liver surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The current study aimed to evaluate the ability of a modified version of the age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (mACCI) in predicting cause-specific survival (CSS) among patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative gastrectomy and compared it with the conventional ACCI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer from 2007 to 2016 (n = 2885) were included. A mACCI was established by excluding scores for other malignancies, such as other cancers, leukemia, and lymphoma. After determining the optimal cutoff ACCI and mACCI values for CSS, clinicopathological factors and survival outcomes were assessed according to the ACCI and mACCI. RESULTS Both ACCI and mACCI were identified as independent prognostic factors for overall survival (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). However, only mACCI was identified as an independent prognostic factor for CSS (p < 0.001). The present study suggested that mACCI was a better indicator of CSS in patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative gastrectomy than ACCI. CONCLUSION Our findings showed that the mACCI was a strong predictor of CSS in patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative gastrectomy. We believe that the mACCI will become a novel marker that would guide treatment decisions for patients with gastric cancer suffering from comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Discontinuation of branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) surveillance after 5 years of no change remains controversial. Long-term outcomes of BD-IPMN without significant changes in the first 5 years were evaluated. METHODS We performed a multi-center retrospective analysis of patients with BD-IPMN diagnosis from 2005 to 2011 (follow-up until 2017). Significant changes were defined as pancreatic cancer (PC), pancreatectomy, high-risk stigmata (HRS), worrisome features (WF) and worrisome EUS features (WEUS). RESULTS Of 982 patients who had no significant changes, 5 (0.5%), 7 (0.7%), 99 (10.1%), 4 (0.4%) patients developed PC, HRS, WF, WEUS, respectively, post-5 years. PC and HRS/WF/WEUS incidences at 12 years were 1.0% and 29.0%, respectively. Patients that developed HRS/WF/WEUS had larger cyst size in first 5 years compared to those that did not [16 (12-23) vs. 12 (9-17) mm, p = 0.0001], cyst size of >15 mm having higher cumulative incidence of HRS/WF/WEUS. PC mortality was 0.8%; all-cause mortality was 32%. Incidence of mortality due to PC was higher in HRS/WF/WEUS group, p < 0.0001. The mortality rate at 12 years for ACCI (age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index) of ≤3, 4-6, and ≥7 were 3.5%, 19.9%, and 57.6% (p < 0.0001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Incidence of PC in patients with BD-IPMN without significant changes in first 5 years of diagnosis remains low at 1.0%. Incidence of HRS/WF/WEUS was higher at 29.0%. PC-related mortality was higher in HRS/WF/WEUS group. These risks should be weighed against patients' overall mortality (utilizing scoring systems such as ACCI) when making surveillance decision of BD-IPMN beyond 5 years.

Effects of Radiation Therapy and Comorbidity on Health-Related Quality of Life and Mortality Among Older Women With Low-Risk Breast Cancer: Protocol for a Retrospective Cohort Study. JMIR Res Protoc 2020; 9:e18056. [PMID: 33090111 PMCID: PMC7691089 DOI: 10.2196/18056] [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: 02/07/2020] [Revised: 10/18/2020] [Accepted: 10/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The National Comprehensive Cancer Network Breast Cancer Guidelines Committee suggests that the omission of adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) after breast-conserving surgery can be a reasonable option among older women with low-risk breast cancer (early-stage, estrogen receptor-positive, and node-negative) if they are treated with endocrine therapy. However, RT usage in this group of women still exceeds 50%. Conversely, older women tend to forego RT (even when necessary) due to cost, inconvenience, and potential adverse responses associated with RT. Understanding health-related quality of life (HRQOL) change with receipt of RT among older women in the modern era is limited due to the under-representation of this population in clinical trials. Objective The proposed study aims to examine the associations of RT with HRQOL trajectories as well as survival outcomes among older women with 5-10 years of follow-up. We will also assess whether prediagnosis comorbidity burden influences receipt of RT and whether the associations between RT and HRQOL trajectory and survival outcomes are modified by the comorbidity burden. Methods We will use a retrospective cohort study design with the population-based Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End-Results database linked to the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (SEER-MHOS). Older women (≥65 years) who were diagnosed with low-risk breast cancer in 1998-2014, received breast-conserving surgery, and participated in MHOS 1998-2016 are eligible for this analysis. The latent class analysis clustering method will be used to identify each patient’s prediagnosis comorbidity burden, and HRQOL will be evaluated using the Short Form 36/Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey scales. The inverse-weighted estimates of the probability of treatment will be included to control for treatment selection bias and confounding effects in subsequent analysis. The association of RT with HRQOL trajectory will be evaluated using inverse-weighted multilevel growth mixture models. The inverse-weighted Cox regression model will be used to obtain hazard ratios with 95% CIs for the association of RT with survival outcomes. Differential effects of RT on both outcomes according to comorbidity burden class will also be evaluated. Results As of October 2020, the study was approved by the institutional review board, and SEER-MHOS data were obtained from the National Cancer Institute. Women with low-risk breast cancer who met inclusion and exclusion criteria have been identified, and prediagnosis comorbidity burden class has been characterized using latent class analysis. Further data analysis will begin in November 2020, and the first manuscript will be submitted in a peer-reviewed journal in February 2021. Conclusions This research can potentially improve clinical outcomes of older women with low-risk breast cancer by providing them additional information on the HRQOL trajectories when they make RT treatment decisions. It will facilitate informed, shared treatment decision making and cancer care planning to ultimately improve the HRQOL of older women with breast cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is a demanding operation that has not yet gained popularity. Safety, feasibility, and clinical advantages of LPD in comparison with open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) have not been clearly demonstrated. The aim of this study was to compare the short term outcomes of LPD with those of OPD. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data from a prospectively collected database of patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at our institution between January 2013 and March 2020 were retrieved and analyzed, comparing the short-term postoperative outcomes of LPD and OPD, using a propensity score matching analysis. RESULTS In the study period, 177 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy were selected, 52 of these were LPD. In the LPD group, the conversion rate to OPD was 3.8%. After matching, a total of 50 LPD and 50 OPD were compared. LPD was associated with a shorter length of stay (14 vs 20 days, p = 0.011), decreased blood loss (255 vs 350 ml, p = 0.022), but longer median operative time (590 vs 382.5 min; p < 0.001). No significant difference was found between LPD and OPD in terms of overall complications (56% vs 62%, p = 0.542), severe complications (26% vs 22%, p = 0.640), and postoperative mortality (4% vs 6%, p = 0.646). The groups had similar reoperation rate, pancreatic-specific complications, and readmission rate. CONCLUSIONS In comparison with the open approach, LPD seems associated to with improved short-term outcomes in terms of hospital stay and blood loss, but with a longer operative time. No difference in morbidity and mortality rate were found in our series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for duodenal adenoma (DA) resection may be associated with excessive surgical risk for patients with potentially benign lesions, given the absence of pancreatic duct obstruction. We examined factors associated with final malignant pathology and evaluated the postoperative course of patients with DA versus pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients with DA who underwent PD from 2008 to 2018 and assessed the accuracy rate of preoperative biopsy and factors associated with final malignant pathology. Complications for DA patients were compared with those of matched PDAC patients. RESULTS Forty-five consecutive patients who underwent PD for DA were identified, and the preoperative biopsy false negative rate was 29. Factors associated with final malignant pathology included age over 70 years, preoperative biliary obstruction, and common bile duct diameter > 8 mm (p < 0.05). Compared with patients with PDAC (n = 302), DA patients experienced more major complications (31% vs. 15%, p < 0.01), more grade C postoperative pancreatic fistulas (9% vs. 1%, p < 0.01), and greater mortality (7% vs. 2%, p < 0.05). Propensity score matched patients with DA had more major complications following PD (32% vs. 12%, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative biopsy of duodenal adenomas is associated with a high false-negative rate for malignancy, and PD for DA is associated with higher complication rates than PD for PDAC. These results aid discussion among patients and surgeons who are considering observation versus PD for DA, especially in younger patients without biliary obstruction, who are less likely to harbor malignancy.

Prognostic Impact of Diabetes Mellitus on Overall Survival in a Nationwide Population-Based Cohort of Patients With Pancreatic Cancer. Endocr Pract 2020; 26:707-713. [PMID: 33471638 DOI: 10.4158/ep-2019-0565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2019] [Accepted: 01/29/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer but its prognostic impact remains controversial. We aimed to investigate the association between long-standing DM and the risk of mortality. METHODS This population-based cohort study analyzed data from the national healthcare database in Taiwan. We identified all patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and excluded those who were diagnosed with DM with-in 2 years of the cancer diagnosis. Eligible patients were grouped into long-standing DM (>2 years) and nondiabetic controls, and were compared for overall survival using a Cox proportional hazard model. Sensitivity tests stratified by cancer stages (as indicated by specific treatment) were performed. RESULTS Patients with long-standing DM were significantly older (mean age, 71.38 years versus 66.0 years; P<.0001) and had a higher Charlson comorbidity index (9.53 versus 6.78; P<.0001) and diabetes comorbidity severity index (2.38 versus 0.82; P<.0001) compared with the non-DM controls. Although the unadjusted analysis showed a higher risk of mortality in the patients with long-term DM (crude hazard ratio [HR], 1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.20 to 1.33; P<.0001), the association became insignificant after adjustment for age, sex, and comorbidity index (adjusted HR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.95 to 1.06, P = .84). Subgroup analyses also showed no association between long-term DM and mortality in various subgroups stratified by cancer treatment. CONCLUSION After adjusting for associated comorbidities and complications, long-standing DM per se was not an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in this nationwide population-based cohort with pancreatic cancer. ABBREVIATIONS CCI = Charlson Comorbidity Index; CI = confidence interval; DCSI = Diabetes Complication Severity Index; DM = diabetes mellitus; HR = hazard ratio; ICD = International Classification of Diseases; NHIRD = National Health Insurance Research Database; RCIPD = Registry for Catastrophic Illness Patient Database.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To establish an evidence-based cut-off to differentiate between early and late recurrence and to compare clinicopathologic risk factors between the two groups. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA A clear definition of "early recurrence" after pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma resection is currently lacking. METHODS Patients undergoing pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma between 2000 and 2013 were included. Exclusion criteria were neoadjuvant therapy and incomplete follow-up. A minimum P-value approach was used to evaluate the optimal cut-off value of recurrence-free survival to divide the patients into early and late recurrence cohorts based on subsequent prognosis. Potential risk factors for early recurrence were assessed with logistic regression models. RESULTS Of 957 included patients, 204 (21.3%) were recurrence-free at last follow-up. The optimal length of recurrence-free survival to distinguish between early (n = 388, 51.5%) and late recurrence (n = 365, 48.5%) was 12 months (P < 0.001). Patients with early recurrence had 1-, and 2-year post-recurrence survival rates of 20 and 6% compared with 45 and 22% for the late recurrence group (both P < 0.001). Preoperative risk factors for early recurrence included a Charlson age-comorbidity index ≥4 (OR 1.65), tumor size > 3.0 cm on computed tomography (OR 1.53) and CA 19-9 > 210 U/mL (OR 2.30). Postoperative risk factors consisted of poor tumor differentiation grade (OR 1.66), microscopic lymphovascular invasion (OR 1.70), a lymph node ratio > 0.2 (OR 2.49), and CA 19-9 > 37 U/mL (OR 3.38). Adjuvant chemotherapy (OR 0.28) and chemoradiotherapy (OR 0.29) were associated with a reduced likelihood of early recurrence. CONCLUSION A recurrence-free interval of 12 months is the optimal threshold for differentiating between early and late recurrence, based on subsequent prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few studies have evaluated the impact of risk factors and comorbidity on overall survival (OS) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The aim was to investigate the prognostic importance of Charlson's age-comorbidity index (CACI) and other risk factors on prognosis in a clinical real-world cohort of PDAC patients. METHODS A total of 1,159 patients with PDAC who had received at least one cycle of adjuvant or palliative chemotherapy were included from the Danish BIOPAC study. We analysed OS according to CACI, tobacco smoking, alcohol intake, performance status (PS), BMI and diabetes. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for OS using Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS At the end of follow-up, 994 (86%) patients had died. The median OS was 298 days for all patients (range 3-3010) and shortest in patients with stage IV. No association with short OS was seen for CACI > 2, diabetes, alcohol abuse, tobacco smoking, hypertension, and high BMI. Multivariate analysis showed that stage (IV vs. I: HR = 9.05, 95% CI 5.17-15.84), PS (2 vs. 0: HR = 3.67, 2.92-4.61) and treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (yes vs. no: HR = 1.31, 1.06-1.61) were independent negative prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS We found that CACI, diabetes, tobacco smoking, alcohol abuse, hypertension, and high BMI were not associated with OS in a real-world cohort of patients with PDAC treated with chemotherapy. Only stage and PS were prognostic parameters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous researches have shown that anesthetic techniques can influence the patient outcomes of cancer surgery. Here, we studied the relationship between type of anesthetic and patient outcomes following elective, open pancreatic cancer surgery. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who received elective, open pancreatic cancer surgery between January 2005 and July 2018. Patients were grouped according to the anesthesia they received, namely desflurane or propofol. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted, and survival curves were presented from the date of surgery to death. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models were used to compare hazard ratios for death after propensity matching. Subgroup analyses were performed for all-cause mortality, cancer-specific mortality, and disease progression. RESULTS A total of 68 patients (56 deaths, 82.0%) under desflurane anesthesia, and 72 patients (43 deaths, 60.0%) under propofol anesthesia were included. Fifty-eight patients remained in each group after propensity matching. The propofol anesthesia was associated with improved survival (hazard ratio, 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.42-0.99; P = 0.047) in the matched analysis. Subgroup analyses showed significantly better cancer-specific survival (hazard ratio, 0.63; 95% confidence interval, 0.40-0.97; P = 0.037) in the propofol group. Additionally, patients under propofol had less postoperative recurrence, but not fewer postoperative metastases formation, than those under desflurane (hazard ratio, 0.55; 95% confidence interval, 0.34-0.90; P = 0.028) in the matched analysis. CONCLUSIONS In a limited sample size, we observed that propofol anesthesia was associated with improved survival in open pancreatic cancer surgery compared with desflurane anesthesia. Further investigations are needed to inspect the influences of propofol anesthesia on patient outcomes of pancreatic cancer surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to compare treatment preferences of patients to those of surrogates on the Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) forms. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data were collected from a sequential selection of 606 Massachusetts POLST (MOLST) forms at 3 hospitals, and corresponding electronic patient health records. Selections on the MOLST forms were categorized into All versus Limit Life-Sustaining Treatment. Multivariable mixed effects (grouped by clinician) logistic regression models estimated the impact of using a surrogate decision maker on choosing All Treatment, controlling for patient characteristics (age, severity of illness, sex, race/ethnicity), clinician (physician vs non-physician), and hospital (site). RESULTS Surrogates signed 253 of the MOLSTs (43%). A multivariable logistic regression model taking into consideration patient, clinician, and site variables showed that surrogate decision makers were 60% less likely to choose All Treatment than patients who made their own decisions (odds ratio = 0.39 [95% confidence interval = 0.24-0.65]; p < .001). This model explained 44% of the variation in the dependent variable (Pseudo-R2 = 0.442; p < .001); mixed effects logistic regression grouped by clinician showed no difference between the models (LR test = 4.0e-13; p = 1.00). DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS Our study took into consideration variation at the patient, clinician, and site level, and showed that surrogates had a propensity to limit life-sustaining treatment. Surrogate decision makers are frequently needed for hospitalized patients, and nearly all states have adopted the POLST. Researchers may want study decision-making processes for patients versus surrogates when the POLST paradigm is employed.

Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether or not the short- and long-term outcomes were affected by the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) in patients who underwent curative resection for gastric cancer. Methods: The patients were retrospectively selected from among the medical records of consecutive patients who underwent curative gastrectomy with nodal dissection for gastric cancer at Yokohama City University and Kanagawa Cancer Center from January 2000 to August 2015. Results: A total of 2254 patients were eligible for inclusion in the present study. One thousand six hundred fifty-six patients had an ACCI of <6 points (ACCI low group), while 598 had a score of ≥6 points (ACCI high group). The median age (p<0.001) and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS) score (p<0.001) of the ACCI high group were higher in comparison to the ACCI low group. The incidence of surgical complications in the ACCI high group was significantly higher than that in the ACCI low group (12.0% vs. 7.2%, p<0.001). Univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that an ACCI high classification was a significant risk factor for postoperative complications. In addition, the 5-year OS rates of the ACCI low and ACCI high groups were 85.4% and 74.1%, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). The univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that an ACCI high classification was a significant prognostic factor for OS. Conclusions: Our results support that a high ACCI value is an independent risk factor for the short- and long-term outcomes of patients with gastric cancer. To improve the survival of patients with gastric cancer, it is necessary to carefully plan the perioperative care and the surgical strategy according to the ACCI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To assess the ability of the Age-Adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI) to predict survival after radical gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer (GC). METHOD Data from patients with GC who underwent radical gastrectomy from January 2008 to December 2012 in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized into either high ACCI group or low ACCI group based on the effect of ACCI on long-term GC prognosis. 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce confounding bias. To further analyze the impact of ACCI on the long-term prognosis of patients after radical gastrectomy, a nomogram was built based on the Cox proportional hazards regression model. RESULTS A total of 1476 patients were included in the analysis. After PSM, there was no statistically significant differences in tumor location, tumor size and tumor stage between low ACCI group (429 cases) and high ACCI group (429 cases) (all P > 0.05). Before and after PSM, the incidence of postoperative complications in high ACCI group was significantly higher than that in low ACCI group (P < 0.05). The 5-year overall survival rate (OS) in low ACCI group was significantly higher than that in high ACCI group. Multivariate analysis showed that ACCI was an independent risk factor for OS (P < 0.05). The Harrell's C-statistics (C-index) of TNMA, a prognostic evaluation system combining ACCI and TNM staging system, was significantly higher than that of TNM staging system in both the modeling and validation groups (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS ACCI was an independent risk factor for the long-term prognosis of GC patients after radical gastrectomy that could effectively improve the predictive efficacy of the TNM staging system for GC.

Park SH, Strauss SM. Similarities and differences in the correlates of comorbidities in US male and female adult cancer survivors. Public Health Nurs 2019; 36:478-487. [PMID: 31058360 DOI: 10.1111/phn.12617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2019] [Revised: 04/02/2019] [Accepted: 04/03/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine both the common and the sex-specific correlates of comorbidities in adult male and female cancer survivors. DESIGN Cross-sectional study using the 2009-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). SAMPLE Male (n = 667) and female (n = 772) cancer survivors 20 years of age and older. MEASUREMENTS Questionnaire responses from NHANES provided data for this study. Comorbidities were assessed using a modified Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Bivariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to identify correlates of comorbidities in male and female cancer survivors separately. RESULTS The mean modified CCI score was 3.88 in males and 3.68 in females. Having a greater number of cancers diagnosed, being currently or formerly married, being physically inactive, having lower socioeconomic status, and being a former smoker were significant correlates of comorbidities in both males and females. Having a prostate cancer diagnosis was also a significant correlate of comorbidities in males. White race, more years since first cancer diagnosis, being overweight or obese, and having no more than a high school education were also significant correlates of comorbidities in females. CONCLUSIONS There are differences between correlates of comorbidities in male and female cancer survivors.
