ANZ J Surg 2023; 93:2655-2663. [PMID: 37658597 DOI: 10.1111/ans.18679] [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: 03/18/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This retrospective study investigates factors affecting surgical and oncological outcome after performing pancreaticoduodenectomy in octogenarian patients diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. METHODS From January 2009 to December 2018, patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma were included. Data were analysed by comparing clinicopathological characteristics, complications, survival, recurrence, adjuvant treatment between octogenarians and the younger group. Propensity score matched analysis was performed due to the small size of the octogenarian group. RESULTS A total of 666 patients were included in this study and 24 (3.6%) were included in the octogenarian group. Short term complication rates (P = 0.119) and hospital stay (P = 0.839) did not differ between two groups. Overall survival between the two groups showed significant difference (<80 median 25 months versus ≥80 median 13 months, P = 0.045). However, after propensity score matched analysis, the two groups did not differ in overall survival (<80 median 18 months versus ≥80 median survival 16 months, P = 0.565) or disease-free survival (P = 0.471). Among the octogenarians, six patients survived longer than 24 months even without satisfying all favourable prognostic factors. CONCLUSION Considering the general condition of octogenarians diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, select patients should be treated more aggressively for the best chance of receiving curative treatment.

Abstract
Aim Whether to execute pancreaticoduodenectomy or not for older people could pose a dilemma. This study clarifies the safety and justification of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) for older individuals over 80. Methods A total of 500 patients undergoing RPD were divided into group O (≥ 80 y/o) and group Y (< 80 y/o) for comparison. Results There were 62 (12.4%) patients in group O. Surgical mortality was 1.6% for overall patients and higher in group O, 6.5% vs 0.9%; p = 0.001. The surgical complication was comparable between groups O and Y. Delayed gastric emptying and bile leakage were higher in group O, 9.7% vs 2.5%; p = 0.004, and 6.5% vs 0.9%; p = 0.001, respectively. Length of stay was also longer in group O, with a median of 26 vs 19 days; p = 0.001. Survival outcome after RPD was poorer in group O for overall periampullary adenocarcinomas, with a 5-year survival of 48.1% vs 51.2%; p = 0.025 and also for the subgroup of pancreatic head adenocarcinoma, with a 3-year survival of 27.4% vs 42.5%; p = 0.030. Conclusion RPD is safe and justified for the selected octogenarians and even nonagenarians, whoever is fit for a major operation. Nevertheless, pancreatic head cancer and higher mortality risk for the aged over 80 with advanced ASA score ≥ 3 should be informed as part of counselling in offering RPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of elderly patients with pancreatic cancer is growing, however clinical data on the short-term outcomes, rate of adjuvant chemotherapy, and survival in these patients are limited and we therefore performed a nationwide analysis. METHODS Data from the prospective Dutch Pancreatic Cancer Audit were analyzed, including all patients undergoing pancreatic cancer resection between January 2014 and December 2016. Patients were classified into two age groups: <75 and ≥75 years. Major complications (Clavien-Dindo grade 3 or higher), 90-day mortality, rates of adjuvant chemotherapy, and survival were compared between age groups. Factors associated with start of adjuvant chemotherapy and survival were evaluated with logistic regression and multivariable Cox regression analysis. RESULTS Of 836 patients, 198 were aged ≥75 years (24%) and 638 were aged <75 years (76%). Median follow-up was 38 months (interquartile range [IQR] 31-47). Major complications (31% vs. 28%; p = 0.43) and 90-day mortality (8% vs. 5%; p = 0.18) did not differ. Adjuvant chemotherapy was started in 37% of patients aged ≥75 years versus 69% of patients aged <75 years (p < 0.001). Median overall survival (OS) was 15 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 14-18) versus 21 months (95% CI 19-24; p < 0.001). Age ≥75 years was not independently associated with OS (hazard ratio 0.96, 95% CI 0.79-1.17; p = 0.71), but was associated with a lower rate of adjuvant chemotherapy (odds ratio 0.27, 95% CI 0.18-0.40; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The rate of major complications and 90-day mortality after pancreatic resection did not differ between elderly and younger patients; however, elderly patients were less often treated with adjuvant chemotherapy and their OS was shorter.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is frequently the surgical treatment indicated for a number of pathologies. Elderly patients may be denied surgery because of concerns over poor perioperative outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate postoperative clinical outcomes and provide evidence on current UK practice in the elderly population after PD. METHODS This was a multicentre retrospective case-control study of octogenarians undergoing PD between January 2008 and December 2017, matched with younger controls from seven specialist centres in the UK. The primary endpoint was 90-day mortality. Secondary endpoints were index admission mortality, postoperative complications, and 30-day readmission rates. RESULTS In total, 235 octogenarians (median age 81 (range 80-90) years) and 235 controls (age 67 (31-79) years) were included in the study. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (median 0 (range 0-3) versus 0 (0-2); P = 0.010) and Charlson Co-morbidity Index score (7 (6-11) versus 5 (2-9); P = 0.001) were higher for octogenarians than controls. Postoperative complication and 30-day readmission rates were comparable. The 90-day mortality rate was higher among octogenarians (9 versus 3 per cent; P = 0.030). Index admission mortality rates were comparable (4 versus 2 per cent; P = 0.160), indicating that the difference in mortality was related to deaths after hospital discharge. Despite the higher 90-day mortality rate in the octogenarian population, multivariable Cox regression analysis did not identify age as an independent predictor of postoperative mortality. CONCLUSION Despite careful patient selection and comparable index admission mortality, 90-day and, particularly, out-of-hospital mortality rates were higher in octogenarians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Localized gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors typically managed with surgery, but outcomes among octogenarians remain less studied. METHODS Octogenarian patients with stage I-III gastric GISTs were identified from the National Cancer Database and classified by resection status. Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses analyzed 5-year overall survival (OS). Ninety-day mortality was analyzed following 1:1 propensity score matching. RESULTS Identified octogenarians (N = 949) who underwent resection (N = 632) had improved adjusted OS (71% vs 59.6%, HR 0.75, p 0.049) as compared to non-resected patients. Following matching, 90-day mortality was 5.7% and 11% in resected and non-resected patients (p 0.052), respectively. After exclusion of patients with 90-day mortality, resected patients maintained an OS advantage (77.3% vs 71.1%, HR 0.64, p 0.028). CONCLUSIONS The majority of octogenarians with localized gastric GIST are treated with surgery portending improved survival but an appreciable mortality, suggesting a necessity for careful selection of older patients for surgery.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this observational study was to compare postoperative mortality and complications between octogenarians and younger patients following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Summary Background Data With the growing elderly population and improved operative and postoperative results, PD is performed more frequently in octogenarians. Despite recent studies, it is uncertain whether elderly patients experience worse postoperative outcomes than younger patients. Methods All patients registered in the Swedish National Registry for tumors in the pancreatic and periampullary region from 2010 to 2018 who underwent PD were included in the analysis. Results Out of 13,936 patients included in the registry, 2793 patients underwent PD and were divided into the following age groups: <70 (n = 1508), 70-79 (n = 1137), and ≥80 (n = 148) years old. There was no significant difference in in-hospital, 30- or 90-day mortality among groups. The 2 older groups had a higher rate of medical and some surgical complications but not a significantly higher rate of complications ≥IIIa according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system. The 2 older groups had lower body mass index, higher American Society of Anesthesiologists and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scores, lower smoking rates, and a higher rate of preoperative biliary drainage than the <70-year-old group (all P < 0.001). The operation time was shorter in the oldest group. Conclusions Despite the worse preoperative condition of octogenarians than younger patients, short-term mortality and serious complications were not increased. The shorter operation time, however, may indicate that patients in the oldest group were more strictly selected. With careful preoperative consideration, especially regarding cardiovascular morbidity, more octogenarians can potentially be safely offered PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to define the role of surgery and assess different therapies for nonagenarians with localized, nonmetastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). METHODS The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried for patients ≥ 90 years of age with nonmetastatic, localized PDAC from 2004-2016. Postoperative mortality was assessed at 30 and 90 days in patients receiving pancreatoduodenectomy or total pancreatectomy. Overall survival (OS) was compared between three treatment groups: surgery alone, chemotherapy alone, and chemoradiation (chemoRT) alone. RESULTS Of 380,524 patients with PDAC, 98 patients ≥ 90 years of age underwent curative-intent resection; 55% were female and 75% had a Charlson-Deyo comorbidity score of 0. A total of 17% received postoperative chemotherapy, 51.1% had poorly differentiated tumors with a median tumor size of 3 cm, 55.1% had positive lymph nodes, and 19.4% had positive resection margins. Postoperative median length of stay was 11 days. Postoperative 30- and 90-day mortality was 10.0% and 18.9%, respectively. Median OS for the surgery alone group was 11.6 months compared with 20.4 months in those receiving adjuvant therapy (p = 0.01). Among nonoperative PDAC patients, median OS in patients receiving chemotherapy only (n = 207) was 7.2 months, while chemoRT only (n = 100) was similar to surgery only (11 versus 11.6 months, p = 0.97). CONCLUSIONS Even in well-selected nonagenarians, pancreatoduodenectomy or total pancreatectomy carries a high mortality rate. While adjuvant therapy after resection provides the best survival, it is seldom achieved, and chemoRT alone affords identical survival statistics as surgery alone. These data suggest it is reasonable to consider chemoRT as initial therapy, then reassess candidacy for resection if performance status allows.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the nutritional factors and clinical outcomes of pancreaticoduodenectomy between elderly and non-elderly patients. METHODS This retrospective study evaluated 122 consecutive patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy from April 2008 to April 2020. Preoperative and postoperative nutritional factors (prognostic nutritional index), complication rates, and survival rates were compared between the elderly (≥ 80 years) and non-elderly (< 80 years) patient groups. Changes in nutrition markers were evaluated before surgery to 1 year after surgery. RESULTS A total of 20 elderly patients (16.4%) and 102 non-elderly patients (83.6%) underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. Elderly patients had a significantly lower preoperative prognostic nutritional index than did non-elderly patients. At 3 months postoperatively, elderly patients had a lower albumin level and prognostic nutritional index. The median length of hospital stay was significantly longer (39.9 vs. 27 days, P = 0.004), the rate of death due to other diseases was higher, and the overall survival rate was significantly lower (1-/3-/5 year overall survival rates: 78.1%/26.7%/13.3% vs. 87.1%/54.4%/46.7%; log-rank test, P = 0.003) in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that careful patient selection and optimal perioperative care are necessary to determine whether pancreaticoduodenectomy is indicated for elderly patients.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of clinical presentations on functional ambulation following thrombolytic therapy. Materials & methods: Logistic regression analysis was used to determine associations between functional ambulation and thrombolytic therapy. Results & conclusion: In the results, Hispanic ethnicity (odds ratio (OR): 2.808; p = 0.034; 95% CI: 1.08–7.30), high National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (OR: 1.112; p ≤ 0.001; 95% CI: 1.06–1.17), weakness/paresis (OR: 1.796; p = 0.005; 95% CI: 1.19–2.71), Broca’s aphasia (OR: 1.571; p = 0.003; 95% CI = 1.16–2.12) and antihypertensive medication (OR: 1.530; p = 0.034; 95% CI: 1.03–2.26) were associated with an improved ambulation in patients without thrombolytic therapy. In thrombolytic treated patients, Broca’s aphasia was associated with improved functional outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the immediate results of PDE in patients younger and older 70 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included patients who underwent PDE for various indications from March 2010 to February 2019. All patients are divided into 2 groups: <70 years old and ≥70 years old. Primary endpoints were postoperative mortality and complication rate. RESULTS There were 110 procedures within 9 years. There were 93 patients aged <70 years (group 1) and 17 patients aged ≥70 years (group 2). ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) and PMP scores (Preoperative Mortality Predictor) were higher in group 2: 3 (2-3) vs 2 (1-3) (p=0,002) and 12 (6-15) vs 6.5 (5-15) (p<0.001), respectively. Mortality rate was higher in group 2 (11.7% vs. 3.2%) without statistical significance (p=0.16). Overall morbidity (72% vs 76%; p=1.0), incidence of major complications grade ≥IIIa (29% vs 29%), delayed gastric emptying B/C (17.2% vs 17.6%), pancreatic fistula grade B/C (23.6% vs 35.3%, p=0.3), biliary fistula grade B/C (7.5% vs 11.8%; p=0.62), postoperative hospital-stay [22 (8-165) days vs 23 (9-71) days; p=0.92] were comparable in both groups. CONCLUSION Short-term results of PDE in patients aged <70 and ≥70 years are comparable despite higher ASA and PMP scores in the group 2. General status and concomitant diseases should be considered during selection of patients with resectable tumors for PDE. Age per se is not a contraindication for surgery.

Abstract
Purpose Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is recently performed in older cancer patients. The complication rate of PD is high. The present study was to compare the postoperative short- and long-term outcomes of PD in between older patients and younger patients. Methods Between 2000 and 2014, patients who underwent PD due to periampullary cancers were enrolled. Patients aged 75 years or over were included in the older group. Results Total 1,249 patients were enrolled in this study and 168 patients (13.5%) were included in the older group. Postoperative complication rates, duration of postoperative hospital stay, and 30-day mortality were comparable between the 2 groups, although the admission rate of intensive care unit postoperatively was higher in the older adult group (20.8% vs. 10.5%, P < 0.001). In terms of long-term outcomes, 5-year overall survival rate was lower in the older group (23.4% vs. 41.8%, P < 0.001), and 5-year cumulative recurrence rate was higher in the older group without statistical significance (63.9% vs. 57.9%, P = 0.095). However, there were no statistical differences of cumulative recurrence in pancreatic cancer patients (81.5% vs. 82.5%, P = 0.805). Conclusion PD for periampullary cancer is a safe and feasible treatment in the older patients. The treatment modality for obtaining better survival outcomes will be investigated.

Abstract
The number of elderly patients who frequently access health care services is increasing worldwide. While anesthesiologists are developing the expertise to care for these elderly patients, areas of concern remain. We conducted a comprehensive search of major international databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane) and a Korean database (KoreaMed) to review preoperative considerations, intraoperative management, and postoperative problems when anesthetizing elderly patients. Preoperative preparation of elderly patients included functional assessment to identify preexisting cognitive impairment or cardiopulmonary reserve, depression, frailty, nutrition, polypharmacy, and anticoagulation issues. Intraoperative management included anesthetic mode and pharmacology, monitoring, intravenous fluid or transfusion management, lung-protective ventilation, and prevention of hypothermia. Postoperative checklists included perioperative analgesia, postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction, and other complications. A higher level of perioperative care was required for older surgical patients, as multiple chronic diseases often makes them prone to developing postoperative complications, including functional decline and loss of independence. Although the guiding evidence remains poor so far, elderly patients have to be provided optimal perioperative care through close interdisciplinary, interprofessional, and cross-sectional collaboration to minimize unwanted postoperative outcomes. Furthermore, along with adequate anesthetic care, well-planned postoperative care should begin immediately after surgery and extend until discharge.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is likely to become the second most frequent cause of cancer-associated mortality within the next decade. Surgical resection with adjuvant systemic chemotherapy currently provides the only chance of long-term survival. However, only 10-20% of patients with pancreatic cancer are diagnosed with localized, surgically resectable disease. The majority of patients present with metastatic disease and are not candidates for surgery, while surgery remains underused even in those with resectable disease owing to historical concerns regarding safety and efficacy. However, advances made over the past decade in the safety and efficacy of surgery have resulted in perioperative mortality of around 3% and 5-year survival approaching 30% after resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. Furthermore, owing to advances in both surgical techniques and systemic chemotherapy, the indications for resection have been extended to include locally advanced tumours. Many aspects of pancreatic cancer surgery, such as the management of postoperative morbidities, sequencing of resection and systemic therapy, and use of neoadjuvant therapy followed by resection for tumours previously considered unresectable, are rapidly evolving. In this Review, we summarize the current status of and new developments in pancreatic cancer surgery, while highlighting the most important research questions for attempts to further optimize outcomes.

Gastrointest Endosc 2018; 88:926-934. [PMID: 29981302 DOI: 10.1016/j.gie.2018.06.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2017] [Accepted: 06/21/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS EUS-guided FNA (EUS-FNA) is an accurate and relatively safe tissue confirmation method for pancreatic cancer. However, there is concern that this procedure may spread tumor cells along the needle track or within the peritoneum. We aimed to estimate the effect of preoperative EUS-FNA on the risk of peritoneal recurrence and long-term outcomes in resected pancreatic cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed records of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer who had undergone curative resection between 2009 and 2013 to investigate the overall survival, cancer-free survival, and peritoneal recurrence. Peritoneal recurrence was diagnosed based on image findings or cytology-confirmed ascites. RESULTS Of 411 patients, 90 underwent preoperative EUS-FNA (EUS-FNA group), whereas 321 did not (non-EUS-FNA group). The median length of follow-up was 16.2 months (range, 2-46). Peritoneal recurrence occurred in 131 patients: 30% (27/90) in the EUS-FNA group versus 32% (104/321) in the non-EUS-FNA group (P = .66). Cancer-free survival or overall survival was not significantly different between the 2 groups: median overall survival of 25.3 months in the EUS-FNA group versus 23.7 months in the non-EUS-FNA group (P = .36) and median cancer-free survival of 12.7 months in the EUS-FNA group versus 11.6 months in the non-EUS-FNA group (P = .38). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative EUS-FNA for pancreatic cancer was not associated with an increased rate of peritoneal recurrence or mortality. Therefore, EUS-FNA is an accurate and safe method to obtain suspicious pancreatic mass tissue.
