Surgical Site Infections in Colorectal Cancer Surgeries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Impact of Surgical Approach and Associated Risk Factors. Life (Basel) 2024; 14:850. [PMID: 39063604 PMCID: PMC11278392 DOI: 10.3390/life14070850] [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: 05/14/2024] [Revised: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infections (SSIs) represent a noteworthy contributor to both morbidity and mortality in the context of patients who undergo colorectal surgery. Several risk factors have been identified; however, their relative significance remains uncertain. METHODS We conducted a meta-analysis of observational studies from their inception up until 2023 that investigated risk factors for SSIs in colorectal surgery. A random-effects model was used to pool the data and calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for each risk factor. RESULTS Our analysis included 26 studies with a total of 61,426 patients. The pooled results showed that male sex (OR = 1.45), body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2 (OR = 1.09), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score ≥ 3 (OR = 1.69), were all independent risk factors for SSIs in colorectal surgery. Conversely, laparoscopic surgery (OR = 0.70) was found to be a protective factor. CONCLUSIONS The meta-analysis conducted revealed various risk factors, both modifiable and non-modifiable, associated with surgical site infections (SSIs) in colorectal surgery. These findings emphasize the significance of targeted interventions, including optimizing glycemic control, minimizing blood loss, and using laparoscopic techniques whenever feasible in order to decrease the occurrence of surgical site infections in this particular group of patients.

THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES & MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY = JOURNAL CANADIEN DES MALADIES INFECTIEUSES ET DE LA MICROBIOLOGIE MEDICALE 2024; 2024:7525831. [PMID: 38361763 PMCID: PMC10869196 DOI: 10.1155/2024/7525831] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
Background In Sudan, patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) presented lately in advanced stages. Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common complications of surgical treatment of OSCC which significantly affects the clinical outcomes. The present study aimed to assess the frequency and risk factors of postoperative surgical site infection among OSCC patients underwent surgery at Khartoum Teaching Dental Hospital (KTDH). Methods This is a prospective, analytical, hospital-based study conducted at KTDH during the period from 2022 to 2023. Patients with OSCC were surgically treated and assessed carefully for the development of the SSI. Results Sixty patients were enrolled in the present study. Twenty-nine (48.3%) patients were above 61 years, with the predominance of males with 42 (70%) patients. The most involved site of OSCC was the lower gingivolabial region in 35 (39.3%) patients. Forty-seven (78%) patients were in advanced stages III and IV. Forty-five (80%) patients had modified radical neck dissection. Blood transfusion was administered in 50 (83.3%) patients. Twenty-six (43.4%) patients developed SSI; 15 (57.7%) patients of them were Toombak dippers. Development of SSI was found to be significantly associated with the tumour site (P value 0.9), clinical stage (P value 0.6), the number of transfused blood units (P value 0.04), and the duration of hospital stay (P value 0.04). In contrast, use of sutures for wound closure was associated with a reduced risk of developing SSI (P value 0.005). Conclusion Surgical site infection was found in 43.4% of the OSCC patients. It was associated with advanced clinical stage and tumour site. Minimizing the number of blood units transfused intraoperatively, we decrease the duration of hospital stay and the use of sutures for wound closure decreases the risk of SSI significantly.

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

PLoS One 2021; 16:e0259107. [PMID: 34710197 PMCID: PMC8553052 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0259107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surgical site infection (SSI) is the second most prevalent hospital-based infection and affects the surgical therapeutic outcomes. However, the factors of SSI are not uniform. The main purpose of this study was to understand the risk factors for the different types of SSI in patients undergoing colorectal surgery (CRS). METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched using the relevant search terms. The data extraction was independently performed by two investigators using a standardized format, following the pre-agreed criteria. Meta-analysis for the risk factors of SSI in CRS patients was carried out using Review Manager 5.3 (RevMan 5.3) and Stata 15.1 software. The quality of evidence was evaluated using total sample size, Egger's P-value, and intergroup heterogeneity, which contained three levels: high-quality (Class I), moderate-quality (Class II/III), and low-quality (Class IV). The publication bias of the included studies was assessed using funnel plots, Begg's test, and Egger's test. RESULTS Of the 2660 potentially eligible studies, a total of 31 studies (22 retrospective and 9 prospective cohort studies) were included in the final analysis. Eventually, the high-quality evidence confirmed that SSI was correlated with obesity (RR = 1.60, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.47-1.74), ASA score ≥3 (RR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.19-1.51), and emergent surgery (RR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.19-1.55). The moderate-quality evidence showed the correlation of SSI with male sex (RR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.14-1.49), diabetes mellitus (RR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.24-2.20), inflammatory bowel disease (RR = 2.12, 95% CI: 1.24-3.61), wound classification >2 (RR = 2.65, 95% CI: 1.52-4.61), surgery duration ≥180 min (RR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.49-2.36), cigarette smoking (RR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.14-1.67), open surgery (RR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.57-2.10), stoma formation (RR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.28-2.78), and blood transfusion (RR = 2.03, 95% CI:1.34-3.06). Moderate-quality evidence suggested no association with respiratory comorbidity (RR = 2.62, 95% CI:0.84-8.13) and neoplasm (RR = 1.24, 95% CI:0.58-2.26). Meanwhile, the moderate-quality evidence showed that the obesity (RR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.24-1.32) and blood transfusion (RR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.26-4.29) were independent risk factors for organ/space SSI (OS-SSI). The high-quality evidence showed that no correlation of OS-SSI with ASA score ≥3 and stoma formation. Furthermore, the moderate-quality evidence showed that no association of OS-SSI with open surgery (RR = 1.37, 95% CI: 0.62-3.04). The high-quality evidence demonstrated that I-SSI was correlated with stoma formation (RR = 2.55, 95% CI: 1.87-3.47). There were some certain publication bias in 2 parameters based on asymmetric graphs, including diabetes mellitus and wound classification >2. The situation was corrected using the trim and fill method. CONCLUSIONS The understanding of these factors might make it possible to detect and treat the different types of SSI more effectively in the earlier phase and might even improve the patient's clinical prognosis. Evidence should be continuously followed up and updated, eliminating the potential publication bias. In the future, additional high-level evidence is required to verify these findings.

Abstract
Background Postoperative infectious complications (ICs) after surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC) increase in-hospital deaths and decrease long-term survival. However, the methodology for IC preoperative and intraoperative risk assessment has not yet been established. We aimed to construct a risk model for IC after surgery for CRC. Methods Between January 2016 and June 2020, a total of 593 patients who underwent curative surgery for CRC in Chengdu Second People’s Hospital were enrolled. Preoperative and intraoperative factors were obtained retrospectively. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method was used to screen out risk factors for IC. Then, based on the results of LASSO regression analysis, multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to establish the prediction model. Bootstraps with 300 resamples were performed for internal validation. The performance of the model was evaluated with its calibration and discrimination. The clinical usefulness was assessed by decision curve analysis (DCA). Results A total of 95 (16.0%) patients developed ICs after surgery for CRC. Chronic pulmonary diseases, diabetes mellitus, preoperative and/or intraoperative blood transfusion, and longer operation time were independent risk factors for IC. A prediction model was constructed based on these factors. The concordance index (C-index) of the model was 0.761. The calibration curve of the model suggested great agreement. DCA showed that the model was clinically useful. Conclusion Several risk factors for IC after surgery for CRC were identified. A prediction model generated by these risk factors may help in identifying patients who may benefit from perioperative optimization.

Abstract
PURPOSE The concept of complete mesocolic excision (CME) in right-sided colorectal cancer is well known for open and laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare perioperative and oncological outcomes of reduced port and open surgery for right-sided colorectal cancer. METHODS One hundred forty-one patients received elective surgery for right-sided colonic cancer between January 2015 and December 2019 and were included in a retrospective database. RESULTS We observed longer operation time in the RP-CME group (145 min vs. 119.43 min, p<0.01). Hospital stay (8 days vs. 14 days, p<0.01) and time to first intestinal passage (42 h. vs. 59 h, p<0.01) were significantly shorter in the reduced port group. Postoperative complications were more likely to be observed in the O-CME group (7.2% vs. 14.1%, p=0.28); anastomotic leakage rate was low in both groups (1.8% vs. 2.4%, p=1.00). Specimen scores (score 1= good: 93.8% vs. 91.7%, p=1.00) and average number of retrieved lymph nodes were comparable (24 vs. 23 p=0.69). In O-CME patients, we observed more advanced tumor stages (UICC III: 21.4% vs. 45.9%, p<0.01). CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first study comparing reduced port to open surgery for right-sided colorectal cancer. We could demonstrate that this technique is feasible for oncological right hemicolectomy with observation of shorter hospital stay and lower morbidity rates compared to open surgery. The oncological outcome did not differ in the present study.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Quality improvement programs for colorectal cancer surgery have been introduced with benchmarking based on quality indicators, such as mortality. Detailed (pre)operative characteristics may offer relevant information for proper case-mix correction. OBJECTIVE To investigate the added value of machine learning to predict quality indicators for colorectal cancer surgery and identify previously unrecognized predictors of 30-day mortality based on a large, nationwide colorectal cancer registry that collected extensive data on comorbidities. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS All patients who underwent resection for primary colorectal cancer registered in the Dutch ColoRectal Audit between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2016, were included. Multiple machine learning models (multivariable logistic regression, elastic net regression, support vector machine, random forest, and gradient boosting) were made to predict quality indicators. Model performance was compared with conventionally used scores. Risk factors were identified by logistic regression analyses and Shapley additive explanations (ie, SHAP values). Statistical analysis was performed between March 1 and September 30, 2020. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome of this cohort study was 30-day mortality. Prediction models were trained on a training set by performing 5-fold cross-validation, and outcomes were measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve on the test set. Machine learning was further used to identify risk factors, measured by odds ratios and SHAP values. RESULTS This cohort study included 62 501 records, most patients were male (35 116 [56.2%]), were aged 61 to 80 years (41 560 [66.5%]), and had an American Society of Anesthesiology score of II (35 679 [57.1%]). A 30-day mortality rate of 2.7% (n = 1693) was found. The area under the curve of the best machine learning model for 30-day mortality (0.82; 95% CI, 0.79-0.85) was significantly higher than the American Society of Anesthesiology score (0.74; 95% CI, 0.71-0.77; P < .001), Charlson Comorbidity Index (0.66; 95% CI, 0.63-0.70; P < .001), and preoperative score to predict postoperative mortality (0.73; 95% CI, 0.70-0.77; P < .001). Hypertension, myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma were comorbidities with a high risk for increased mortality. Machine learning identified specific risk factors for a complicated course, intensive care unit admission, prolonged hospital stay, and readmission. Laparoscopic surgery was associated with a decreased risk for all adverse outcomes. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This study found that machine learning methods outperformed conventional scores to predict 30-day mortality after colorectal cancer surgery, identified specific patient groups at risk for adverse outcomes, and provided directions to optimize benchmarking in clinical audits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery is the first choice for the treatment of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). With the development of new instruments and techniques, the popularity of laparoscopic resection of GISTs has increased rapidly. Previous studies on the advantages of laparoscopic resection over open surgery are generally limited by methodology or data capacity. This study evaluated the efficacy of laparoscopic resection and open surgery in gastric GISTs using the propensity score matching (PSM) method. METHODS Between January 2005 and December 2017, 1027 patients were diagnosed with primary GIST at our institution. Among them, 548 patients were enrolled in this study. Standard demographic and clinicopathological data were collected from our database. Selection bias was eliminated using the PSM methods. RESULTS After PSM, 256 cases involved in the comparison (128 laparoscopic (LAP) vs. 128 open surgery (OPEN)) were randomly matched (1:1) by age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, year of surgery, tumor location, tumor size, mitotic rate, and treatment with adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The LAP group was superior to the OPEN group in blood loss (χ2 = 6.048, P = 0.049), time to first flatus (49.41 ± 7.56 vs. 71.31 ± 4.87 h, P < 0.001), and hospital stay (10.21 ± 6.05 vs. 12.56 ± 5.43 days, P = 0.001). No significant differences were seen in either the relapse-free survival or overall survival between the LAP and OPEN groups. In tumors located in favorable locations, the LAP group showed less blood loss (P = 0.008) and less multivisceral resection (17.8% vs. 5.5%, P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic resection for gastric GISTs is associated with improved surgical outcomes and postoperative courses and comparable oncological outcomes, regardless of favorable or unfavorable tumor location.

Abstract
Surgical site infections (SSIs) result in patient morbidity and increased costs. The purpose of this study was to determine reasons underlying SSI to enable interventions addressing identified factors. Combining data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Project with medical record extraction, we evaluated 365 patients who underwent colon resection from January 2009 to December 2012 at a single institution. Of the 365 patients, 84 (23%) developed SSI. On univariate analysis, significant risk factors included disseminated cancer, ileostomy, patient temperature less than 36°C for greater than 60 minutes, and higher glucose level. The median number of cases per surgeon was 36, and a case volume below the median was associated with a higher risk of SSI. On multivariate analysis, significant risks associated with SSI included disseminated cancer (odds ratio [OR], 4.31; P < .001); surgery performed by a surgeon with less than 36 cases (OR, 2.19; P = .008); higher glucose level (OR, 1.06; P 5.017); and transfusion of five units or more of blood (OR, 3.26; P 5.029). In this study we found both modifiable and unmodifiable factors associated with increased SSI. Identifying modifiable risk factors enables targeting specific areas to improve the quality of care and patient outcomes.

Preoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio predicts postoperative infectious complications after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. Int J Clin Oncol 2019; 25:633-640. [PMID: 31781993 DOI: 10.1007/s10147-019-01583-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2019] [Accepted: 11/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Postoperative infectious complications (POI), which can increase length of hospital stay, medical cost, and worsen overall survival, are a concern in minimally invasive colorectal cancer (CRC) surgeries. Recent reports showed that relatively new inflammation-based score, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) is an independent predictor of long-term outcomes after CRC surgeries. In this study, LMR was evaluated as a predictor of short-term postoperative outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a single-institutional retrospective study of 211 consecutive patients who had undergone laparoscopic CRC surgery with primary tumor resection from January 2014 to August 2015 at Nippon Medical School Chiba Hokusoh Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups (no POI; n = 176 and POI; n = 35). The associations between inflammation-based scores, namely neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and LMR, and the occurrence of POI were investigated. Receiving operator characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the cutoff point of preoperative LMR. RESULTS Low LMR (cut-off 3.46), long operative time, and smoking were found to be independent predictors of POI in a multivariate analysis (LMR: Odds ratio 5.61, 95% confidence interval 1.98-15.9, P = 0.001). Patients with low LMR also appeared to have more advanced and aggressive tumours. CONCLUSION This is the first study to report that the lower LMR is a predictive factor of POI after laparoscopic CRC surgery, and it may provide additional information for treatment decisions to prevent POI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate sarcopenia as a predictor of postoperative risk of major and total complications after surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is associated with poor survival in gastrointestinal cancer patients, but the role of sarcopenia as prognostic tool in surgical oncology has not been established, and no consensus exists regarding assessment and management of sarcopenic patients. METHODS We performed a systematic search for citations in EMBASE, Web of Science, and PubMed from 2004 to January 31, 2017. Random effects meta-analyses were used to estimate the pooled risk ratio for postoperative complications by Clavien-Dindo grade (total complications: grade ≥2; major complications: grade ≥3) in patients with sarcopenia versus patients without sarcopenia. Stratified analyses were performed by sarcopenia criteria, cutoff level, assessment methods, study quality, cancer diagnosis, and "Enhanced Recovery After Surgery" care. RESULTS Twenty-nine studies (n = 7176) were included with sarcopenia prevalence ranging between 12% and 78%. Preoperative incidence of sarcopenia was associated with increased risk of major complications (risk ratio 1.40; 95% confidence interval, 1.20-1.64; P < 0.001; I = 52%) and total complications (risk ratio 1.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-1.61; P = 0.001; I = 60%). Moderate heterogeneity was found for both meta-analyses. Subgroup analyses showed that sarcopenia remained a consistent risk factor across stratification by sarcopenia criteria, assessment methods, study quality, and diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia was associated with an increased risk of complications after gastrointestinal tumor resection, but lack of methodological consensus hampers the interpretation and clinical utilization of these findings. Combining assessment of muscle mass with measures of physical function may increase the prognostic value and accuracy in preoperative risk stratification.

Abstract
SSI is a leading cause of morbidity and increases health-care cost after colorectal operations. It is a key hospital-level patient safety indicator. Previous literature has identified perioperative risk factors associated with SSI and interventions to decrease rate of infection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of blowhole closure on the rate of superficial and deep SSI. The ACS-NSQIP database was queried for patients undergoing colectomy at the University of Kentucky from 2013 to 2016. Retrospective chart review was performed to gather demographic data and perioperative variables. Wounds left open and packed were excluded. Rates of postoperative SSI were measured between the groups. One thousand eighty-three patients undergoing elective and emergent colectomy were reviewed. Nine hundred and forty-five had closed incision and 138 had blowhole closure. Patient characteristics between the groups were well matched. Patients with a blowhole closure were more likely to have an open procedure ( P = 0.037) and a higher wound class ( P < 0.001). The rate of superficial and deep SSI was 9.1 per cent in patients with a closed incision and 5.1 per cent in patients with blowhole closure ( P = 0.142). With adjustment for approach and wound class, blowhole closure decreased the incidence of SSI ( P = 0.04). There was no significant difference in morbidity or mortality. Patients undergoing elective and emergent colectomy had decreased incidence of SSI when blowhole closure was used. Given that it does not increase resource usage and its technical ease, blowhole closure should become the standard method of surgical wound closure.

Abstract
Background Intestinal complications are a major cause of morbidity after colorectal cancer surgery. This study aimed to develop an effective nomogram for predicting risk of intestinal complications following colorectal cancer surgery. Material/Methods We retrospectively analyzed 1876 patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery at Yangpu and Zhuji hospitals from January 2013 to October 2018. Intestinal complications were defined as intestinal obstruction, leakage or bleeding, or peritonitis within 30 days after surgery. A logistic regression model was used to identify the risk factors associated with postoperative intestinal complications, and a nomogram for intestinal complications was established. The predictive accuracy of the nomogram was assessed using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration plot. Results A total of 164 patients (8.7%) developed intestinal complications after colorectal cancer surgery; 35 (21.3%) of whom died in the postoperative period. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that male gender, history of abdominal surgery, preoperative intestinal obstruction/perforation, metastatic cancer, and lower level of hemoglobin and prognostic nutrition index were independent risk factors (P<0.05 for all). A nomogram was then constructed, and it displayed good accuracy in predicting postoperative intestinal complications with an AUC of 0.76. The calibration plot also showed an excellent agreement between the predicted and observed probabilities. Conclusions We constructed a nomogram based on clinical variables, which could provide individual prediction of postoperative intestinal complications with good accuracy.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDSurgical site infections (SSIs) following colorectal surgery (CRS) are among the most common healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Reduction in colorectal SSI rates is an important goal for surgical quality improvement.OBJECTIVETo examine rates of SSI in patients with and without cancer and to identify potential predictors of SSI risk following CRSDESIGNAmerican College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) data files for 2011-2013 from a sample of 12 National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) member institutions were combined. Pooled SSI rates for colorectal procedures were calculated and risk was evaluated. The independent importance of potential risk factors was assessed using logistic regression.SETTINGMulticenter studyPARTICIPANTSOf 22 invited NCCN centers, 11 participated (50%). Colorectal procedures were selected by principal procedure current procedural technology (CPT) code. Cancer was defined by International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes.MAIN OUTCOMEThe primary outcome of interest was 30-day SSI rate.RESULTSA total of 652 SSIs (11.06%) were reported among 5,893 CRSs. Risk of SSI was similar for patients with and without cancer. Among CRS patients with underlying cancer, disseminated cancer (SSI rate, 17.5%; odds ratio [OR], 1.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23-2.26; P=.001), ASA score ≥3 (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.09-1.83; P=.001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.06-2.53; P=.02), and longer duration of procedure were associated with development of SSI.CONCLUSIONSPatients with disseminated cancer are at a higher risk for developing SSI. ASA score >3, COPD, and longer duration of surgery predict SSI risk. Disseminated cancer should be further evaluated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in generating risk-adjusted outcomes.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2018;39:555-562.

Abstract
PURPOSES To establish the safety of laparoscopic-assisted colorectal resection for colorectal cancer in elderly patients aged ≥80 years. METHODS Data were obtained from a chart review of patients who underwent colorectal cancer resection between 2009 and 2014 in Kochi Medical School. The effect of patient age on the extent of lymph node dissection and operative safety was assessed by comparing the short-term results of elderly patients with those of younger patients after propensity score matching. RESULTS Of a total of 506 patients with colorectal cancer, 398 underwent laparoscopic surgery and 23% of these patients were aged ≥80 years old. The elderly patients tended to have poorer general condition and larger tumors, although no significant differences were found in tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, or synchronous distant metastasis between the groups. After adjustment for preoperative factors, we noted that the elderly patients tended to undergo less aggressive surgical resection (P = 0.01). Further analysis after including surgical factors for propensity score matching revealed a similar rate of complications in the two groups (24 vs. 25%, respectively; P = 0.85), and similar postoperative death rates and length of postoperative hospital stay. CONCLUSION The findings of the present study demonstrate that laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer should not be avoided based on simply the age of the patient.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patient and technical factors influencing the postoperative infectious complications (ICs) after elective colorectal resections are satisfactorily described. However, the underlying disease-related factors have not been extensively evaluated. This study aimed to measure the effect of malignancy on postoperative surgical site and extra surgical site infections after elective colorectal resection. METHODS This study is a bicentric retrospective matched pair study of prospectively gathered data. Between 2004 and 2013, 1104 consecutive patients underwent colorectal resection in two centers. Patients undergoing elective resection with supraperitoneal anastomosis for benign diseases (excluding inflammatory bowel disease) (group B, n = 305) were matched to randomly selected patients with malignancy (group M, n = 305). The matching variables were age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, malnutrition, type of resection, and surgical approach. We compared the 30-day IC rates between patients with benign diseases (group B) and malignancy (group M). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for ICs. RESULTS Group M had a higher overall rate of IC (25.6 vs 16.1 %, P = 0.004) as well as a higher risk of extra surgical site infections (P = 0.007) and anastomotic leakage (P = 0.039). The independent risk factors for ICs were malignancy (odds ratio (OR) = 2.02; P = 0.002), age ≥70 years (OR = 1.73, P = 0.018), tobacco history (OR = 1.87; P = 0.030), and obesity (OR = 1.68; P = 0.039). CONCLUSION Malignancy, age, tobacco history, and obesity increase the risk of ICs after colorectal resection. Improvement of the modifiable risk factors, increased compliance with an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program in the overall population, and optimization of immune function in patients with malignancy should be considered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to compare the postoperative and oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic versus open surgery for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (gGISTs). BACKGROUND The feasibility of the laparoscopic approach for gGIST resection has been demonstrated; however, its impact on outcomes, particularly its oncologic safety for tumors greater than 5 cm, remains unknown. METHODS Among 1413 patients treated for a GIST in 61 European centers between 2001 and 2013, patients who underwent primary resection for a gGIST smaller than 20 cm (N = 666), by either laparoscopy (group L, n = 282) or open surgery (group O, n = 384), were compared. Multivariable analyses and propensity score matching were used to compensate for differences in baseline characteristics. RESULTS In-hospital mortality and morbidity rates in groups L and O were 0.4% versus 2.1% (P = 0.086) and 11.3% vs 19.5% (P = 0.004), respectively. Laparoscopic resection was independently protective against in-hospital morbidity (odds ratio 0.54, P = 0.014). The rate of R0 resection was 95.7% in group L and 92.7% in group O (P = 0.103). After 1:1 propensity score matching (n = 224), the groups were comparable according to age, sex, tumor location and size, mitotic index, American Society of Anesthesiology score, and the extent of surgical resection. After adjustment for BMI, overall morbidity (10.3% vs 19.6%; P = 0.005), surgical morbidity (4.9% vs 9.8%; P = 0.048), and medical morbidity (6.2% vs 13.4%; P = 0.01) were significantly lower in group L. Five-year recurrence-free survival was significantly better in group L (91.7% vs 85.2%; P = 0.011). In tumors greater than 5 cm, in-hospital morbidity and 5-year recurrence-free survival were similar between the groups (P = 0.255 and P = 0.423, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic resection for gGISTs is associated with favorable short-term outcomes without compromising oncologic results.

Abstract
AIM Recent studies have shown that sarcopenia is associated with negative postoperative outcomes. However, none of these studies analysed muscle strength or physical performance, which are also important components of sarcopenia. The present study aimed to investigate whether sarcopenia itself, as defined by low muscle mass, strength and physical performance, would predict complications after surgery for colorectal cancer. METHOD We conducted a prospective study of patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer at our department between August 2014 and February 2015. Sarcopenia was diagnosed by a combination of third lumbar vertebra muscle index (L3 MI), handgrip strength and 6-m usual gait speed. Univariate and multivariate analyses evaluating the risk factors for postoperative complications were performed. Only complications classified as Grade II or above according to the Clavien-Dindo classification were analysed in this study. RESULTS A total of 142 patients were included in the study, and 17 patients were diagnosed as having sarcopenia. Postoperative complications of Grade II or above occurred in 40 patients, including 10 with sarcopenia and 30 without sarcopenia. Multivariate analysis showed that sarcopenia and previous abdominal surgery were independent risk factors for postoperative complications. Patients with sarcopenia also had an obvious tendency to a higher incidence of infectious complications. By comparing two logistic regression models, sarcopenia showed a better predictive power for postoperative complications than did low muscle mass. CONCLUSION Sarcopenia and previous abdominal surgery are independent risk factors for complications after surgery for colorectal cancer. Including a functional aspect to the definition of sarcopenia may result in a better prediction of postoperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Determining predictors of surgical site infection (SSI) in a large cohort is important for the design of accurate SSI surveillance programs. We hypothesized that additional organ resection and pelvic exenterative procedures are associated independently with a higher risk of SSI. METHODS Patients in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program® (ACS NSQIP®; American College of Surgeons, Chicago, IL) database (2005-2012) were identified (n=112,282). Surgical site infection (superficial or deep SSI) at 30 d was the primary outcome. Using primary and secondary CPT® codes (American Medical Association, Chicago, IL) pelvic exenteration was defined and additional organ resection was defined as: bladder resection/repair, hysterectomy, partial vaginectomy, additional segmental colectomy, small bowel, gastric, or diaphragm resection. Univariable analysis of patient and procedure factors identified significant (p<0.05) predictors, which were modeled using stepwise logistic regression. RESULTS The rate of SSI was 9.2%. After adjusting for operative duration, predictors of SSI were body mass index (BMI) 25-29.9 (odds ratio [OR]: 1.3), BMI 30-34.9 (OR: 1.59), BMI 35-39.9 (OR: 2.11), BMI>40 (OR: 2.51), pulmonary comorbidities (OR: 1.22), smoking (OR: 1.24), bowel obstruction (OR: 1.40), wound classification 3 or 4 (OR: 1.18), and abdominoperineal resection (OR: 1.58). Laparoscopic or laparoscopically assisted procedures offered a protective effect against incision infection (OR: 0.55). Additional organ resection (OR: 1.08) was also associated independently with SSI, but the magnitude of the effect was decreased after accounting for operative duration. In the analysis that excludes operative duration, pelvic exenteration is associated with SSI (OR: 1.38), but incorporating operative duration into the model results in this variable becoming non-significant. CONCLUSIONS In addition to other factors, obesity, surgery for bowel obstruction, abdominoperineal resection, and additional organ resection are independently associated with a higher risk of SSI. Surgical site infection risk in pelvic exenteration and multiple organ resection cases appears to be mediated by prolonged operative duration. In these established high-risk sub-groups of patients, aggressive interventions to prevent SSI should be implemented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) have been identified such as age, overweight, duration of surgery, blood loss, etc. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy during surgery is a common procedure in patients with gastric cancer, yet its impact on SSI has not been evaluated. AIM To evaluate whether intra-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy is a key risk factor for organ/space SSI in patients with gastric cancer. METHODS All patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgery at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery between January 2008 and December 2013 were studied. The organ/space SSI rates were compared between patients who received intra-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy and patients who did not receive intra-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and the risk factors for organ/space SSI were analysed by univariate and multi-variate regression analyses. The microbial causes of organ/space SSI were also identified. FINDINGS Of the eligible 845 patients, 356 received intra-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and the organ/space SSI rate was higher in these patients compared with patients who did not receive intra-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (9.01% vs 3.88%; P = 0.002). Univariate analysis confirmed the significance of this finding (odds ratio 2.443; P = 0.003). As a result, hospital stay was increased in patients who received intra-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy {mean 20.91 days [95% confidence interval (CI) 19.76-22.06] vs 29.72 days (95% CI 25.46-33.99); P = 0.000}. The results also suggested that intra-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy may be associated with more Gram-negative bacterial infections. CONCLUSION Intra-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy is a significant risk factor for organ/space SSI in patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess the clinical relevance of the pre-operative granulocyte/lymphocyte (G/L) ratio as a predictive marker of post-operative complications in patients with colorectal cancer. In total, 85 patients (59 males and 26 females; mean age, 68.9 years) underwent surgery for colorectal cancer at the Department of Surgery, Ibraki Medical Center, Tokyo Medical University (Ami, Japan), and were divided into post-operative complication and non-complication groups. Clinical data, including age, gender, body mass index, tumor localization, tumor pathological type, cancer staging, surgery time, volume of surgical bleeding, pre-operative G/L ratio and further pre-operative laboratory data, including levels of albumin and C-reactive protein, Glasgow Prognostic Score, white blood cell count and levels of hemoglobin, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 were analyzed between these groups. The total post-operative complication rate was 18.8%. On univariate analysis, the amount of surgical bleeding and the pre-operative G/L ratio were significantly higher in the complication group than in the non-complication group (299.8±361.7 vs. 155.6±268.6 ml, P<0.05; and 6.73±10.38 vs. 3.49±2.78, P<0.05, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis for the risk factors of post-operative complications, determined using univariate analysis, demonstrated that the amount of surgical bleeding and the pre-operative G/L ratio were independent risk factors of post-operative complications in patients with colorectal cancer. In conclusion, the G/L ratio may be a clinically relevant pre-operative predictive marker for post-operative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Validated risk adjustment programs do not use patient diagnosis as a potential covariate in the evaluation of organ space infections. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that patient diagnosis is an important risk factor for organ space infection after colorectal resections. DESIGN We conducted a retrospective cohort study abstracting data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program from January 2005 through December 2009. PATIENTS Patients who underwent 1 of 3 types of colorectal resections (ileocolostomy, partial colectomy, and coloproctostomy) were identified by the use of Current Procedural Terminology codes. We excluded patients with concomitant formation of diverting or end stoma. OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome measured was organ space infection. ANALYSIS Validated risk adjustment models were used with the addition of diagnostic codes. RESULTS We identified 52,056 patients who underwent a colorectal resection of whom 1774 patients developed an organ space infection (3.4%) and 894 (50.2%) returned to the operating room for further surgery. For ileocolostomy, operations for endometriosis (OR, 7.8; 95% CI, 1.7-36.6) and intra-abdominal fistula surgery (OR, 3.0; 95% CI, 1.5-6.0) were associated with increased risk of organ space infection. For partial colectomy, operations for intra-abdominal fistula surgery (OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.2-4.3), IBD (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.6-3.8), and bowel obstruction (OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.2-2.6) were associated with an increased risk of organ space infection. For coloproctostomy, operations for malignant neoplasm (OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.1-4.3) and diverticular bleeding (OR, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.1-9.0) were associated with an increased risk of organ space infection. LIMITATIONS This study was limited by the retrospective study design. CONCLUSIONS After adjustment for National Surgical Quality Improvement Program covariates, intra-abdominal fistula, endometriosis, and diverticular bleeding were the diagnoses associated with the highest risk of organ space infection following colorectal resections.

Risk factor evaluation for postoperative complications in laparoscopic colorectal surgery by a classic severity grading system. Tumour Biol 2014; 35:8115-23.

Abstract
Using the uniform complication grading system to evaluate postoperative complications after laparoscopic colorectal surgery is the purpose of the present study. Surgical complications were defined as grades I, II, III, IV, and V recommended by Dindo et al. Patients were categorized into three pairs: complication group (CG) and non-complication group (NCG), minor complication group (MiCG, grades I-II) and non-minor complication group (NMiCG), and major complication group (MaCG, grades III-V) and non-major complication group (NMaCG); of the 570 patients, 431 patients were discharged with no complications, and 174 complications occurred in 119 patients. The percent of grades I, II, III, IV, and V complications were 4.7, 20, 4.7, 0.7, and 0.4 %, respectively. Complications were significantly associated with male gender, larger tumor volume, and more estimated blood loss (EBL). The multivariate analysis revealed that male and EBL ≥150 ml were found to be independent predictors of postoperative complications. In subgroup analysis, patients with larger tumor volume were at significantly higher risk of postoperative major complications, and male gender and EBL ≥150 ml remained independent predictors of developing minor postoperative complications. Patients with postoperative complications would significantly experience longer hospital stay, later fluid intake, and delayed urinary catheter removal. Male, larger tumor volume, and more EBL were significant risk factors for laparoscopic colorectomy.
