Risks of serious adverse events with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in gastrointestinal surgery: A systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly recommended for perioperative opioid-sparing multimodal analgesic treatments. Concerns regarding the potential for serious adverse events (SAEs) associated with perioperative NSAID treatment are especially relevant following gastrointestinal surgery. We assessed the risks of SAEs with perioperative NSAID treatment in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of randomised clinical trials assessing the harmful effects of NSAIDs versus placebo, usual care or no intervention in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. The primary outcome was an incidence of SAEs. We systematically searched for eligible trials in five major databases up to January 2024. We performed risk of bias assessments to account for systematic errors, trial sequential analysis (TSA) to account for the risks of random errors, performed meta-analyses using R and used the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework to describe the certainty of evidence. RESULTS We included 22 trials enrolling 1622 patients for our primary analyses. Most trials were at high risk of bias. Meta-analyses (risk ratio 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.51-1.19; I2 = 4%; p = .24; very low certainty of evidence) and TSA indicated a lack of information on the effects of NSAIDs compared to placebo on the risks of SAEs. Post-hoc beta-binomial regression sensitivity analyses including trials with zero events showed a reduction in SAEs with NSAIDs versus placebo (odds ratio 0.73; CI 0.54-0.99; p = .042). CONCLUSION In adult patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, there was insufficient information to draw firm conclusions on the effects of NSAIDs on SAEs. The certainty of the evidence was very low.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pain is frequent following gastrointestinal surgery and may result in prolonged hospitalisation, delayed recovery, and lower quality of life. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are effective analgesics and recommended by Enhanced Recovery After Surgery guidelines as part of opioid-sparing multimodal treatment. However, perioperative NSAID treatment may be associated with increased risk of harm. We will investigate the risks of serious adverse events associated with perioperative NSAID treatment in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. METHODS This protocol uses the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols. We wish to assess the effects of NSAIDs versus placebo, usual care, or no intervention on the incidence of serious adverse in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. We will include all randomised trials. To identify trials, we will search the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline), Excerpta Medica database (Embase), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science Core Collection, and BIOSIS. Two authors will screen the literature and extract data. We will use the "Risk of Bias 2 tool" to assess the risks of systematic errors. We will perform meta-analyses using R. We will use Trial Sequential Analysis to account for the risks of random errors. We will create a "Summary of Findings"-table in which we will present our primary and secondary outcome results. We will assess the certainty of the evidence using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). DISCUSSION This systematic review can potentially elucidate the risks of perioperative NSAID treatment in gastrointestinal surgery and inform the already established non-opioid multimodal pain treatment regimen recommended by Enhanced Recovery After Surgery guidelines.

Postoperative administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in colorectal cancer surgery does not increase anastomotic leak rate; A systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Surg Oncol 2020; 46:2167-2173. [PMID: 32792221 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2020.07.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2020] [Accepted: 07/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence on the effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on anastomotic leak (AL) rate after colorectal surgery is conflicting. Effects of NSAIDs might depend on the underlying disease. This meta-analysis aimed to review the effect of NSAIDs on AL rate in a homogeneous colorectal cancer patient population. METHODS A systematic literature search using MEDLINE and EMBASE database was performed for studies with AL as primary outcome comparing NSAID use in the early postoperative phase with no NSAID administration in colorectal cancer patients undergoing surgical resection. RESULTS Nine studies including 10,868 patients met the inclusion criteria. The majority, 7689 patients (70.7%) underwent low anterior resection and 3050 patients (28.1%) underwent colonic resection. The pooled incidence of AL was 8.6% (95%CI 7.0-10.0). Overall AL rate after colorectal cancer surgery was not increased in patients using NSAIDs for postoperative analgesia compared to non-users (p = 0.34, RR 1.23; 95%CI 0.81-1.86). This effect remained non-significant after stratification for low anterior resections (p = 0.07). Stratification for colonic resections could not be performed because AL results for this subgroup were not reported separately. Neither non-selective NSAID use nor COX-2 selective NSAID use caused an increased AL rate (p = 0.19, p = 0.26). The results were robust throughout sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION Use of NSAIDs in cohorts with patients undergoing surgical resection for colorectal cancer does not increase overall AL rate. Since results were robust throughout several subgroup and sensitivity analyses, prescription of NSAIDs after colorectal cancer surgery seems safe.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Individual elements in enhanced recovery pathways may be associated with specific complication risks. In this review, we highlight three areas of controversy surrounding complications in enhanced recovery: (1) whether enhanced recovery is associated with increased rates of acute kidney injury, (2) whether NSAID use is associated with anastomotic leaks, and (3) whether early urinary catheter removal is justified following colorectal surgery. RECENT FINDINGS Acute kidney injury has been reported at several institutions following implementation of enhanced recovery pathways highlighting the importance of institutional data tracking. NSAID use has been implicated in anastomotic leak rates for non-elective colorectal procedures, and criteria for its use should be implemented. Early urinary catheter removal has been supported despite increased urinary retention rates in order to decrease urinary tract infections. Enhanced recovery protocols will continue to evolve, and risk profiles associated with individual elements should continue to be evaluated.

Abstract
Background Diclofenac increases the risk of anastomotic leakage, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. As diclofenac is excreted largely as biliary metabolites, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of these metabolites on intestinal anastomoses. Methods This was a randomized controlled blinded experiment using 210 male Wistar rats to assess the effect of ‘diclofenac bile’ on the anastomotic complication score, leak rate and anastomotic strength following oral and parenteral administration of diclofenac. Bile duct and duodenal catheterization techniques were used for diversion and replacement of bile, and biliary diclofenac metabolites were determined. Results Replacement of control bile with diclofenac bile resulted in higher anastomotic complication scores (P = 0·006) and leakage in five of 18 animals, compared with one of 18 controls (P = 0·089). In turn, following oral diclofenac administration, replacement of diclofenac bile with control bile reduced anastomotic complications (P = 0·016). The leak rate was seven of 15 versus 13 of 17 without replacement (P = 0·127). After intramuscular administration of diclofenac, the reduction in anastomotic complications was not significant when bile was replaced with control bile (P = 0·283), but it was significant when bile was drained without replacement (P = 0·025). Diclofenac metabolites in bile peaked within 2 h after administration. Administration of diclofenac bile resulted in nearly undetectable plasma levels of diclofenac (mean(s.d.) 0·01(0·01) μg/ml) after 120 min. Following oral diclofenac, bile replacement with control bile did not affect the plasma concentration of diclofenac (0·12(0·08) μg/ml versus 0·10(0·05) μg/ml with diclofenac bile; P = 0·869). Conclusion Altered bile composition as a result of diclofenac administration increases the ileal anastomotic complication rate in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac has been associated with intestinal anastomotic leakage, although the underlying pathophysiology is unclear. Previous data suggest that reactivation of biliary diclofenac metabolites by microbial β-glucuronidases in the gut plays a role in harming the intestinal mucosa, and that microbiome-targeted glucuronidase inhibition prevents this damage. Here, the microbial glucuronidase inhibitor Inh1 was examined for its ability to reduce diclofenac-induced anastomotic leakage in rats. METHODS Ninety male Wistar rats were allocated to five groups. In the two diclofenac groups, group DCF received diclofenac (3 mg/kg per day) and group DCF-Inh1 additionally received 800 mcg/kg per day of glucuronidase inhibitor Inh1 solution orally. In non-diclofenac groups, animals received either Inh1 (800 mcg/kg per day; group Inh1) solution, the vehicle (methylcellulose; group Veh), or no solution (group Ctrl). All solutions were provided from the day of surgery until sacrifice on day three. Plasma concentrations of diclofenac were determined. Outcomes were anastomotic leakage, leak severity, and anastomotic strength. RESULTS Anastomotic leak rates were 89% in group DCF and 44% in group DCF-Inh1 (p = 0.006). Leak severity was reduced in group DCFic-Inh1 (p = 0.029). In non-diclofenac cohorts, mostly minor leakage signs were observed in 25% in group Ctrl, 39% in group Inh1 (0.477), and 24% in group Veh (p = 1.000). Bursting pressure and breaking strength were not significantly different. Plasma concentrations of diclofenac were not changed by Inh1. CONCLUSION Microbial glucuronidase inhibitor reduces diclofenac-induced anastomotic leakage severity, which suggests a harmful effect of diclofenac metabolite reactivation in the gut. This finding improves the understanding of the pathogenesis of anastomotic leakage.

Abstract
AIM The management of postoperative ileus following colorectal surgery remains controversial. It is the commonest complication after elective colorectal resection and is associated with an increased incidence of postoperative adverse events. The prevention and management of postoperative ileus remains unstandardized. This study aims to describe an international profile of gastrointestinal recovery after colorectal surgery and will assess the role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, when used as postoperative analgesia, in expediting the return of gastrointestinal function. METHODS A multicentre, student- and trainee-led, prospective cohort study will be conducted across both Europe and Australasia. Adult patients undergoing elective colorectal resection during 2-week data collection periods between January and April 2018 will be included. A site-specific questionnaire will capture compliance to Enhanced Recovery after Surgery components at participating centres. The primary outcome is time to gastrointestinal recovery, measured using a composite outcome of bowel function and oral tolerance. The impact of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on gastrointestinal recovery will be evaluated along with safety data with respect to anastomotic leak, acute kidney injury and complications within 30 days of surgery. DISCUSSION This protocol describes the methodology of an international, observational assessment of gastrointestinal recovery after colorectal surgery. It discusses key challenges and describes how the results will impact on future investigation. The study will be conducted across a large student- and trainee-led collaborative network, with prospective quality assurance and data validation strategies.

Abstract
Background Perioperative use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is associated with risk of anastomotic leak (AL). However, concomitant use of other drugs could infer a bias in risk assessment. Thus, we aimed to interrogate the risk of AL associated with NSAIDs and steroids used perioperatively. Methods This study includes a consecutive series of patients having surgery involving an intestinal anastomosis from Jan 2007 to Dec 2009. Data records included demographic, perioperative, and surgical characteristics; AL rates; and use of NSAIDs and steroids. Risk of leak were estimated using unadjusted and multivariable (propensity score)-adjusted logistic regression models and reported as odds ratios (ORs). Results A total of 376 patients underwent 428 operations of which 67 (15.7 %) had AL. With no medication receivers as reference, the OR for leak when adjusted for age, sex, and propensity score was 1.07 (p = 0.92) for ketorolac, 1.63 (p = 0.31) for diclofenac and 0.41 (p = 0.19) for dexamethasone. Risk was increased for malignancy (OR 1.88, p = 0.023), use of a vasopressor (OR 2.52, p = 0.007), blood transfusions (OR 1.93, p = 0.026), and regular use of steroids (OR 7.57, p = 0.009). Conclusions Other factors than perioperative drugs are crucial for risk of AL. Perioperative dexamethasone was associated with a nonsignificant reduced risk of AL.

Abstract
Effective pain management is fundamental to enhanced recovery after surgery. Selection of strategies should be tailored to patient and operation. As well as improving the quality of recovery, effective analgesia reduces the host stress response, facilitates mobilization and allows resumption of oral intake. Multi-modal regimens combining paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents where indicated, a potent opioid and a local anaesthetic technique achieve effective analgesia while limiting the dose and thereby side effects of any one agent.
