Calu V, Piriianu C, Miron A, Grigorean VT. 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.

Abstract
Background Gastrointestinal malignancy surgeries are known to have a risk of postoperative complications. Preoperative nutritional status has been suggested as a potential predictor of postoperative outcomes, with low serum albumin levels utilized as a marker of malnutrition and increased risk of postoperative complications. This paper investigated the association between preoperative serum albumin levels and postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. Methods This retrospective data-maintained study was based on all patients aged 18 years and above who underwent colorectal cancer surgery at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between 2015 and 2022. Results A total of 400 patients were included in the study. With an average age of 64.43 years. Males represented 254 (63%) of the patients, while females accounted for 146 (37%). Thirty percent of patients had hypoalbuminemia (i.e., albumin level below 35 g/L) before surgery. Among the sample, 112 (28%) experienced complications after surgery. The mean albumin level for patients who experienced postoperative complications was 30.46 g/L while patients without complications had a normal albumin level. As for the length of hospital stay, it was eight days for patients with a normal albumin level and 23 days for hypoalbuminemia patients. Conclusion In conclusion, preoperative hypoalbuminemia is associated with poor patient outcomes and can be utilized as a prognostic marker for patients in need of colorectal cancer surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ACS-NSQIP Surgical Risk Calculator (SRC) is used to predict surgical outcomes, but its accuracy in gastrectomy has been questioned.1,2 We investigated if adding hypoalbuminemia enhances its predictive ability in gastrectomy. METHODS We identified gastrectomy patients from the ACS-NSQIP database from 2005 to 2019. We constructed pairs of logistic regression models: one with the existing 21 preoperative risk factors from the SRC and another with the addition of hypoalbuminemia. We evaluated improvement using Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT), Brier scores, and c-statistics. RESULTS Of 18,070 gastrectomy patients, 34.5 % had hypoalbuminemia. Hypoalbuminemia patients had 2.34 higher odds of mortality and 1.79 higher odds of morbidity. Adding hypoalbuminemia to the RC model statistically improved predictions for mortality, cumulative morbidity, pulmonary, renal, and wound complications (LRT p < 0.001). It did not improve predictions for cardiac complications (LRT p = 0.11) CONCLUSION: Hypoalbuminemia should be considered as an additional variable to the ACS-NSQIP SRC for gastrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative complications in patients of rectal cancer pose challenges to postoperative recovery. Accurately predicting these complications is crucial for developing effective treatment plans for patients. METHODS In this retrospective study, 493 patients with rectal cancer who underwent radical resection between January 2020 and December 2021 were examined. We evaluated logistic regression, support vector machines, regression trees, and random forests to predict the incidence of postoperative complications in patients and evaluate the performance of the model. The results will be analyzed to make recommendations for reducing complications. RESULTS Among the four machine learning models, random forest demonstrated the highest results. The performance of this model was showed with an AUC of 0.880 (95% CI 0.807-0.949), an accuracy of 88.0% (95% CI 0.815-0.929), a sensitivity of 96.6%, and a specificity of 45.8%. Notably, factors such as inflammation related prognostic index, prognostic nutritional index, tumor location, and T stage were found to significantly increase the probability of postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Our study provided evidence that machine learning models can effectively evaluate early postoperative complications of the patients after surgery.

Abstract
Evidence on perioperative nutrition interventions in gastrointestinal surgery is rapidly evolving. We conducted a narrative review of various aspects of nutrition support, including formula choice and route of administration, as well as duration and timing of nutrition support therapy. Studies have demonstrated that nutrition support is associated with improved clinical outcomes in malnourished patients and those at nutrition risk, emphasizing the importance of nutrition assessment, for which several validated nutrition risk assessment tools exist. The assessment of serum albumin levels has fallen out of favor, as it is an unreliable marker of nutrition status, whereas imaging evidence of sarcopenia has prognostic value and may emerge as a standard component of nutrition assessment. Preoperatively, evidence supports limiting fasting to reduce insulin resistance and improve oral tolerance. Benefits to preoperative carbohydrate loading remain unclear, whereas literature suggests preoperative parenteral nutrition (PN) may reduce postoperative complications in high-risk patients with malnutrition or sarcopenia. Postoperatively, early oral feeding is safe with benefits in time to return of bowel function and reduced hospital stay. There is a signal for potential benefit to early postoperative PN in critically ill patients, though evidence is sparse. There has also been a recent emergence in randomized studies evaluating the use of ω-3 fatty acids, amino acids, and immunonutrition. Meta-analyses have reported favorable outcomes for these supplements, though individual studies are small and with significant methodological limitations and risk of bias, emphasizing the need for high-quality randomized studies to guide clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In malnourished patients with colorectal cancer, hypoalbuminemia is common and was proposed to determine the postoperative outcome of colorectal surgery. Mounting articles published but have not been evaluated. We aim to assess the predictive value of preoperative hypoalbuminemia in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. METHODS We performed a literature search from PubMed, Euro PMC, and Cochrane with the terms serum albumin, hypoalbuminemia, prognosis, outcome, colorectal cancer, and neoplasm. We also hand-searched and included any relevant papers. Hypoalbuminemia is defined as plasma albumin level < 3.5 mg/dL. We restricted the included studies to English language and adults undergoing colectomy, laparotomy, laparoscopy, or abdominoperineal resection. Any types of articles were included, except an abstract-only publication and those that did not report the key exposure or outcome of interest. The key exposures were mortality, hospitalization time, and morbid conditions (thrombosis, surgical site infection, sepsis, and wound events). We pooled the odds ratio from each included literature as effect size. The Newcastle Ottawa scale and GRADE were used to determine the quality of each included study. RESULTS Hereof 7 observational studies (236,480 individuals) were included. Our meta-analysis found that preoperative hypoalbuminemia can predict the postoperative outcome in colorectal cancer patients. Individuals with hypoalbuminemia were not associated with 30-day mortality (risk ratio [RR] 2.05 [0.72, 5.86], P = .18, I2 = 99%) but were associated with morbidity (RR 2.28 [1.78, 2.93], P < .00001, I2 = 87.5%), surgical complication (RR 1.69 [1.34, 2.13], P < .00001, I2 = 98%), and hospitalization (RR 2.21 [1.93, 2.52], P < .00001, I2 = 0%). According to newcastle ottawa scale, the included studies are of moderate to sound quality. CONCLUSIONS The current systematic review and meta-analysis showed that preoperative hypoalbuminemia was significantly associated with morbidity, length of stay, and surgical complication but not mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE Determining is nutritionally replete enough for Hartmann's reversal (HR) can be controversial and multifactorial. While there are many preoperative nutritional screening tools, the impact of malnourishment on HR has not been evaluated. The study aims to clarify how often patients undergoing HR are high risk for malnourishment at the time of surgery and how this impacts postoperative outcomes. METHODS From 2012-2019, all elective HRs were identified in ACS-NSQIP. Patients were categorized in a malnourished group if they met one of the following criteria: (1) BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, (2) albumin < 3.5 g/dL, or (3) > 10% body weight loss in the last 6 months. Bivariate associations of preoperative demographics and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors for 30-day mortality and organ space wound infection. RESULTS 8878 procedures were evaluated (well-nourished = 7116 and malnourished = 1762). The malnourished group had higher mortality (p < 0.001), shorter operating time (p < .001), longer length of stay (p = 0.016), and higher rates of infection (p = 0.011), reintubation (p = 0.002), bleeding (p < 0.001), sepsis (p = 0.001), and reoperation (p = 0.018). In multivariate regression models, malnourishment was an independent predictor for mortality (OR = 2.72, p < 0.001) and wound infection (OR = 1.19, p = 0.028). CONCLUSION A large percentage of patients undergoing HR were classified as being high-risk for malnutrition. Malnourishment was associated with some worse postoperative compilations including death and wound infection. Surgeons should routinely use preoperative screening for malnutrition to identify and attempt to optimize nutritional status prior to undergoing Hartmann's Reversal.

Abstract
To identify the prognostic value of the pretreatment geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) in colorectal cancer. Several electronic databases were searched up to March 15, 2022, for relevant studies. The primary and secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS), respectively. The hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were combined. Bess's funnel plot and Egger's test were conducted to detect publication bias, and the trim-and-fill method was performed to identify potentially unpublished papers and their impacts on the overall results. Nine studies from Japan and China involving 3440 participants were enrolled in the current meta-analysis. The pooled results indicated that a low pretreatment GNRI was significantly associated with poorer OS (HR = 2.28, 95% CI: 1.69-3.07, P < 0.001; I2=63.5%, Pheterogeneity=0.005) and DFS (HR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.35-1.96, P < 0.001; I2=46.4%, Pheterogeneity=0.114). Subgroup analysis stratified by country and treatment showed similar results. Significant publication bias was manifested by the asymmetric Begg's funnel plot and P = 0.012 of Egger's test, but three potentially unpublished studies did not have a significant impact on the overall results. A lower pretreatment GNRI was a novel prognostic risk factor for Japanese and Chinese colorectal cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is controversy regarding the postoperative outcomes in Crohn's disease [CD] patients exposed to vedolizumab [VDZ] or ustekinumab [UST]. We aimed to describe our surgical outcomes in patients who underwent minimally invasive ileocolonic resection [MIS-ICR] for CD who had preoperative biologic therapy. METHODS All consecutive adult patients who had MIS-ICR for CD between 2014 and 2021 at our institution were included. Patients were divided into four groups: VDZ, UST, anti-tumour necrosis factor [anti-TNF], and no biologic group. Timing between the last dose of biologics and surgery was per surgeon's discretion. The primary outcome was intra-abdominal septic complications. Secondary outcomes included all 30-day complications. RESULTS A total of 274 patients were identified. Of these, 113 [41.2%] patients had received anti-TNF, 52 [19%] had received UST, and 19 [7%] had received VDZ. There was no difference between the four groups regarding baseline risk factors. There was no difference between the four groups regarding intra-abdominal septic complications [4.4% for no biologic, 5.3% for anti-TNF, 5.8% for UST, and 5.3% for VDZ; p = 0.987], surgical site infection rate, overall 30-day morbidity, overall 30-day readmission, overall surgical and medical complications, urinary tract infection, pulmonary infections, or length of stay. Those results were consistent after a subgroup analysis based on complexity of the disease. CONCLUSIONS This retrospective analysis demonstrates an equivalent postoperative safety profile for patients treated with preoperative anti-TNF, VDZ, or UST versus no biologic therapy within 3 months of MIS-ICR for Crohn's disease. Preoperative biologic therapy may not increase complications after minimally invasive ileocolonic resection in Crohn's disease. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the overall adoption of minimally invasive surgery in the nonemergent management of ulcerative colitis is established, little is known about its utilization in emergency settings. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to assess rates of urgent and emergent surgery over time in the era of emerging biologic therapies and to highlight the current practice in the United States regarding the utilization of minimally invasive surgery for urgent and emergent indications for ulcerative colitis. DESIGN This was a retrospective analysis study. SETTINGS Data were collected from the American College of Surgeons National Quality Improvement Program database. PATIENTS All adult patients who underwent emergent or urgent colectomy for ulcerative colitis were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Rates of emergency operations over time and utilization trends of minimally invasive surgery in urgent and emergent settings were assessed. Unadjusted and adjusted overall, surgical, and medical 30-day complication rates were compared between open and minimally invasive surgery. RESULTS A total of 2219 patients were identified. Of those, 1515 patients (68.3%) underwent surgery in an urgent setting and 704 (31.7%) as an emergency. Emergent cases decreased over time (21% in 2006 to 8% in 2018; p < 0.0001). However, the rate of urgent surgeries has not significantly changed (42% in 2011 to 46% in 2018; p = 0.44). Minimally invasive surgery was offered to 70% of patients in the urgent group (1058/1515) and 22.6% of emergent indications (159/704). Overall, minimally invasive surgery was increasingly utilized over the study period in urgent (38% in 2011 to 71% in 2018; p < 0.0001) and emergent (0% in 2005 to 42% in 2018; p < 0.0001) groups. Compared to minimally invasive surgery, open surgery was associated with a higher risk of surgical, septic, and overall complications, and prolonged hospitalization. LIMITATIONS This study was limited by its retrospective nature of the analysis. CONCLUSION Based on a nationwide analysis from the United States, minimally invasive surgery has been increasingly and safely implemented for emergent and urgent indications for ulcerative colitis. Although the sum of emergent and urgent cases remained the same over the study period, emergency cases decreased significantly over the study period, which may be related to improved medical treatment options and a collaborative, specialized team approach.

Se compararon las tasas de complicaciones generales, quirúrgicas y médicas de 30 días no ajustadas y ajustadas entre la cirugía abierta y la mínimamente invasiva.RESULTADOS:Se identificaron un total de 2.219 pacientes. De ellos, 1.515 pacientes (68,3%) fueron intervenidos de urgencia y 704 (31,7%) de emergencia. Los casos emergentes disminuyeron con el tiempo (21% en 2006 a 8% en 2018; p <0,0001). Sin embargo, la tasa de cirugías urgentes no ha cambiado significativamente (42% en 2011 a 46% en 2018, p = 0,44). Se ofreció cirugía mínimamente invasiva al 70% de los pacientes del grupo urgente (1.058 / 1.515) y al 22,6% de las emergencias (159/704). En general, la cirugía mínimamente invasiva se utilizó cada vez más durante el período de estudio en grupos urgentes (38% en 2011 a 71% en 2018; p <0,0001) y emergentes (0% en 2005 a 42% en 2018; p <0,0001). En comparación con la cirugía mínimamente invasiva, la cirugía abierta se asoció con un mayor riesgo de complicaciones generales, quirúrgicas, sépticas y hospitalización prolongada.LIMITACIONES:Carácter retrospectivo del análisis.CONCLUSIÓNES:Basado en un análisis nacional de los Estados Unidos, la cirugía mínimamente invasiva se ha implementado de manera creciente y segura para las indicaciones emergentes y urgentes de la colitis ulcerosa. Si bien la suma de casos emergentes y urgentes permaneció igual durante el período de estudio, los casos de emergencia disminuyeron significativamente, lo que puede estar relacionado con mejores opciones de tratamiento médico y un enfoque de equipo colaborativo y especializado.

Abstract
Malnutrition is a serious problem with a negative impact on the quality of life and the evolution of patients, contributing to an increase in morbidity, length of hospital stay, mortality, and health spending. Early identification is fundamental to implement the necessary therapeutic actions, involving adequate nutritional support to prevent or reverse malnutrition. This review presents two complementary methods of fighting malnutrition: nutritional screening and nutritional assessment. Nutritional risk screening is conducted using simple, quick-to-perform tools, and is the first line of action in detecting at-risk patients. It should be implemented systematically and periodically on admission to hospital or residential care, as well as on an outpatient basis for patients with chronic conditions. Once patients with a nutritional risk are detected, they should undergo a more detailed nutritional assessment to identify and quantify the type and degree of malnutrition. This should include health history and clinical examination, dietary history, anthropometric measurements, evaluation of the degree of aggression determined by the disease, functional assessment, and, whenever possible, some method of measuring body composition.

Perioperative oral care can prevent surgical site infection after colorectal cancer surgery: A multicenter, retrospective study of 1,926 cases analyzed by propensity score matching. Surgery 2022; 172:530-536. [PMID: 35396104 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2022.02.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2021] [Revised: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infection is a common postoperative complication of colorectal cancer surgery, and surgical site infection increases medical costs, prolongs hospitalization, and worsens long-term prognosis. Perioperative oral care has been reported to be effective in preventing postoperative pneumonia, although there are only a few reports on its effectiveness in preventing surgical site infection. This study aimed to determine the role of perioperative oral care in surgical site infection prevention after colorectal cancer surgery. METHODS In this study, 1,926 patients with colorectal cancer from 8 institutions were enrolled; 808 patients (oral care group) received perioperative oral care at the hospital's dental clinic, and 1,118 (control group) did not receive perioperative oral care. The data were matched by propensity score to reduce bias. Ultimately, a total of 1,480 patients were included in the analysis. RESULTS The incidence of surgical site infection was significantly lower in the oral care group than in the control group (8.4% vs 15.7%, P < .001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed 4 independent risk factors for surgical site infection: low albumin level, rectal cancer, blood loss, and lack of perioperative oral care. Lack of perioperative oral care had an odds ratio of 2.100 (95% confidence interval 1.510-2.930, P < .001). CONCLUSION These results suggest that perioperative oral care can reduce the incidence of surgical site infection after colorectal cancer resection. Perioperative oral care may have an important role in the future perioperative management of colorectal cancer as a safe and effective method of surgical site infection prevention, although further validation in prospective studies is needed.

Minimally invasive ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for patients with obesity: a propensity score-matched analysis. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2021; 406:2419-2424. [PMID: 33987764 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-021-02197-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a risk factor for failure of pouch surgery completion. However, little is known about the impact of obesity on short-term outcomes after minimally invasive (MIS) ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). This study aimed to assess short-term postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing MIS total proctocolectomy (TPC) with IPAA in patients with and without obesity. MATERIALS AND METHODS All adult patients (≥ 18 years old) who underwent MIS IPAA as reported in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) Participant User Files 2007 to 2018 were included. Patients were divided according to their body mass index (BMI) into two groups (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 vs. BMI < 30 kg/m2). Baseline demographics, preoperative risk factors including comorbidities, American Society of Anesthesiologists Class, smoking, different preoperative laboratory parameters, and operation time were compared between the two groups. Propensity score matching (1:1) based on logistic regression with a caliber distance of 0.2 of the standard deviation of the logit of the propensity score was used to overcome biases due to different distributions of the covariates. Thirty-day postoperative complications including overall surgical and medical complications, surgical site infection (SSI), organ space infection, systemic sepsis, 30-day mortality, and length of stay were compared between both groups. RESULTS Initially, a total of 2158 patients (402 (18.6%) obese and 1756 (81.4%) nonobese patients) were identified. After 1:1 matching, 402 patients remained in each group. Patients with obesity had a higher risk of postoperative organ/space infection (12.9%; vs. 6.5%; p-value 0.002) compared to nonobese patients. There was no difference between the groups regarding the risk of postoperative sepsis, septic shock, need for blood transfusion, wound disruption, superficial SSI, deep SSI, respiratory, renal, major adverse cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation), venous thromboembolism, 30-day mortality, and length of stay. CONCLUSION MIS IPAA can be safely performed in patients with obesity. However, patients with obesity have a 2-fold risk of organ space infection compared to patients without obesity. Loss of weight before MIS IPAA is recommended not only to allow for pouch creation but also to decrease organ space infections.
