Explainable Machine Learning Model to Preoperatively Predict Postoperative Complications in Inpatients With Cancer Undergoing Major Operations. JCO Clin Cancer Inform 2024; 8:e2300247. [PMID: 38648576 PMCID: PMC11161247 DOI: 10.1200/cci.23.00247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Preoperative prediction of postoperative complications (PCs) in inpatients with cancer is challenging. We developed an explainable machine learning (ML) model to predict PCs in a heterogenous population of inpatients with cancer undergoing same-hospitalization major operations. METHODS Consecutive inpatients who underwent same-hospitalization operations from December 2017 to June 2021 at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. The ML model was developed and tested using electronic health record (EHR) data to predict 30-day PCs for patients with Clavien-Dindo grade 3 or higher (CD 3+) per the CD classification system. Model performance was assessed using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), area under the precision recall curve (AUPRC), and calibration plots. Model explanation was performed using the Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) method at cohort and individual operation levels. RESULTS A total of 988 operations in 827 inpatients were included. The ML model was trained using 788 operations and tested using a holdout set of 200 operations. The CD 3+ complication rates were 28.6% and 27.5% in the training and holdout test sets, respectively. Training and holdout test sets' model performance in predicting CD 3+ complications yielded an AUROC of 0.77 and 0.73 and an AUPRC of 0.56 and 0.52, respectively. Calibration plots demonstrated good reliability. The SHAP method identified features and the contributions of the features to the risk of PCs. CONCLUSION We trained and tested an explainable ML model to predict the risk of developing PCs in patients with cancer. Using patient-specific EHR data, the ML model accurately discriminated the risk of developing CD 3+ complications and displayed top features at the individual operation and cohort level.

Adrenal fast-track and enhanced recovery in retroperitoneoscopic surgery for primary aldosteronism improving patient outcome and efficiency. World J Urol 2024; 42:187.

Abstract
PURPOSE No data exist on perioperative strategies for enhancing recovery after posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (PRA). Our objective was to determine whether a multimodality adrenal fast-track and enhanced recovery (AFTER) protocol for PRA can reduce recovery time, improve patient satisfaction and maintain safety. METHODS Thirty primary aldosteronism patients were included. Fifteen patients were treated with 'standard-of-care' PRA and compared with 15 in the AFTER protocol. The AFTER protocol contains: a preoperative information video, postoperative oral analgesics, early postoperative mobilisation and enteral feeding, and blood pressure monitoring at home. The primary outcome was recovery time. Secondary outcomes were length of hospital stay, postoperative pain and analgesics requirements, patient satisfaction, perioperative complications and quality of life (QoL). RESULTS Recovery time was much shorter in both groups than anticipated and was not significantly different (median 28 days). Postoperative length of hospital stay was significantly reduced in AFTER patients (mean 32 vs 42 h, CI 95%, p = 0.004). No significant differences were seen in pain, but less analgesics were used in the AFTER group. Satisfaction improved amongst AFTER patients for time of admission and postoperative visit to the outpatient clinic. There were no significant differences in complication rates or QoL. CONCLUSION Despite no difference in recovery time between the two groups, probably due to small sample size, the AFTER protocol led to shorter hospital stays and less analgesic use after surgery, whilst maintaining and even enhancing patient satisfaction for several aspects of perioperative care. Complication rates and QoL are comparable to standard-of-care.

Abstract
Background Recent studies have shown that preoperative education can positively impact postoperative recovery, improving postoperative pain management and patient satisfaction. Gaps in preoperative education regarding postoperative pain and opioid use may lead to increased patient anxiety and persistent postoperative opioid use. Objectives The objective of this narrative review was to identify, examine, and summarize the available evidence on the use and effectiveness of preoperative educational interventions with respect to postoperative outcomes. Method The current narrative review focused on studies that assessed the impact of preoperative educational interventions on postoperative pain, opioid use, and psychological outcomes. The search strategy used concept blocks including "preoperative" AND "patient education" AND "elective surgery," limited to the English language, humans, and adults, using the MEDLINE ALL database. Studies reporting on preoperative educational interventions that included postoperative outcomes were included. Studies reporting on enhanced recovery after surgery protocols were excluded. Results From a total of 761 retrieved articles, 721 were screened in full and 34 met criteria for inclusion. Of 12 studies that assessed the impact of preoperative educational interventions on postoperative pain, 5 reported a benefit for pain reduction. Eight studies examined postoperative opioid use, and all found a significant reduction in opioid consumption after preoperative education. Twenty-four studies reported on postoperative psychological outcomes, and 20 of these showed benefits of preoperative education, especially on postoperative anxiety. Conclusion Preoperative patient education interventions demonstrate promise for improving postoperative outcomes. Preoperative education programs should become a prerequisite and an available resource for all patients undergoing elective surgery.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2023; 32:589-596. [PMID: 36179962 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2022.08.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 07/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited literature exploring how nonmedical factors such as social determinants of health (SDOHs) are associated with postoperative outcomes following shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS A retrospective cohort review of the Pearl Diver Database was used to capture patients undergoing either primary anatomic total or reverse shoulder arthroplasty from the fourth quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2019 with at least 1 year of active longitudinal follow-up. Patients with proximal humeral fractures, stress fractures, or septic arthritis were excluded. The included patients were then divided into 2 cohorts based on the presence of current SDOHs or a history of SDOHs. The SDOH cohort comprised 4 non-mutually exclusive categories: economic, educational, social, and environmental disparities. Subsequently, a control cohort was matched at a 1:1 ratio to the SDOH cohort. Primary outcome measures were assessed using a logistic regression and consisted of the following 90-day postoperative complications: minor and major medical complications and infection. Emergency department (ED) visits and readmissions for any cause were also assessed. Additionally, the following 1-year outcomes were assessed: aseptic loosening, instability, and revision arthroplasty. Surgical costs and 90-day postoperative costs were collected using averaged insurance reimbursements for both the control and SDOH cohorts. RESULTS There were 5190 patients in each cohort. Economic disparities made up the largest portion of the SDOH cohort (n = 4631, 89.2%), followed by social (n = 741, 14.3%), environmental (n = 417, 8.0%), and educational (n = 99, 1.9%) disparities. Compared with the control cohort, SDOHs were associated with an increased risk of major complications (2.3% vs. 1.4%; odds ratio [OR], 1.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.29-1.87; P < .001), minor complications (5.7% vs. 3.8%; OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.21-1.95; P = .001), readmissions (4.3% vs. 2.8%; OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.26-1.84; P < .001), and ED visits (15.2% vs. 11.0%; OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.29-1.63; P < .001) within 90 days following surgery. Additionally, SDOHs were associated with an increased risk of aseptic loosening (1.1% vs. 0.6%; OR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.20-2.65; P = .006), instability (4.0% vs. 2.2%; OR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.43-2.28; P < .001), and ipsilateral revision (9.2% vs. 7.6%; OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.08-1.43; P < .001) at 1 year postoperatively compared with the control cohort. CONCLUSION SDOHs are associated with increased rates of adverse outcomes following shoulder arthroplasty including revision surgery, ED visits, length of stay, and overall cost compared with matched controls without SDOHs. Specifically, economic and educational disparities are associated with increased rates of adverse outcomes following surgery including revision surgery, ED visits, length of stay, and overall cost.

Abstract
Multimodal analgesia is an effective strategy to decrease opioid use after surgery and has been a mainstay of the surgical contribution to combat the opioid epidemic. Postoperative multimodal analgesia in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) continues to evolve as different adjuncts are added and removed based on the most up to date literature. This review examines recent trends in ERAS analgesia and what current evidence and research supports as well as those adjuncts that may not be as beneficial as once thought.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical resection is a common treatment for patients with colorectal cancer. Patients undergoing surgery are at risk of functional deterioration as a response to surgical stress. Furthermore, patients with cancer often present with systemic problems as well as a functional decline. The study aimed to create a framework for preoperative education for patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection. METHODS Five databases were utilised to find intervention-based studies describing the content, mode, setting and timing of delivery of preoperative education for patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Physiotherapists were purposively sampled to participate in a focus group session using a seven-step nominal group technique (NGT) with the goal to reach consensus on the proposed content of a preoperative patient education programme. RESULTS Seventeen studies were reviewed. Results indicate that the mode and timing of the education provided are heterogenous. Content included in the education programs described were breathing exercises, coughing techniques, verbal advice, physical exercises, surgical information, postoperative pain management, nutritional support, relaxation techniques and information about postoperative complications. Six physiotherapists participated in the focus group discussion. Ideas generated in the focus group were similar to those described in the literature. CONCLUSION Results from both the narrative review and the focus group session assisted the authors to develop a framework for the content, timing, setting and mode of delivery of physiotherapy preoperative education for patients undergoing surgical resection for colorectal cancer.Contribution: The framework can be used to inform a physiotherapy preoperative education programme for patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has been widely applied in liver surgery since the publication of the first ERAS guidelines in 2016. The aim of the present article was to update the ERAS guidelines in liver surgery using a modified Delphi method based on a systematic review of the literature. METHODS A systematic literature review was performed using MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. A modified Delphi method including 15 international experts was used. Consensus was judged to be reached when >80% of the experts agreed on the recommended items. Recommendations were based on the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations system. RESULTS A total of 7541 manuscripts were screened, and 240 articles were finally included. Twenty-five recommendation items were elaborated. All of them obtained consensus (>80% agreement) after 3 Delphi rounds. Nine items (36%) had a high level of evidence and 16 (64%) a strong recommendation grade. Compared to the first ERAS guidelines published, 3 novel items were introduced: prehabilitation in high-risk patients, preoperative biliary drainage in cholestatic liver, and preoperative smoking and alcohol cessation at least 4 weeks before hepatectomy. CONCLUSIONS These guidelines based on the best available evidence allow standardization of the perioperative management of patients undergoing liver surgery. Specific studies on hepatectomy in cirrhotic patients following an ERAS program are still needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient education is recommended as an essential component of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) protocols. However, there are many uncertainties regarding content and methodological criteria, which may have a significant impact on the effectiveness of the intervention. The aim of this review is to assess the effect of preoperative patient education on postoperative recovery in abdominal surgery and to examine different patient education strategies for their effectiveness. METHODS We performed a systematic review according to the PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane were searched from 2011 to 2022. All studies investigating the effect of preoperative patient education on postoperative recovery in abdominal surgery were included. A critical quality assessment of all included studies was performed. RESULTS We identified 826 potentially suitable articles via a database search and included 12 studies in this review. The majority of the included studies reported a reduction in the length of hospital stay (LOS) and even a reduction in postoperative complications and adverse events. Patients with preoperative education seemed to have lower psychological stress and experience less anxiety. However, the contents, delivery, and general conditions were implemented differently, making comparison difficult. Moreover, the majority of the included studies were weak in quality. CONCLUSION With this review, we report potential effects, current implementations, and frameworks of patient education. However, the results must be interpreted with caution and are not directly transferable to clinical practice. Further studies in this field are necessary to make concrete recommendations for clinical practice.

Abstract
The management of pain is an essential aspect of surgical care, and pain levels in post-operative patients vary case by case. Treating postoperative pain is crucial as it leads to better outcomes and reduces risk of long term pain. While post-operative analgesics has been the mainstay of treatment, this mini-review explores an emerging concept which is preoperative pain management, with promising potential. Such interventions include educating patients on the expected pain outcomes and available pain medications. Non-pharmacological methods such as relaxation exercises have also proven to be effective after abdominal surgery, and educating patients on the existence of such methods pre-operatively encourages them to make use of available therapies. A major area of importance is the pre-operative psychological and emotional wellbeing of patients, as it is a strong predictor of pain and pain prognosis. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be effectively used to tackle preoperative anxiety and reduce pain levels. Hypnosis is another developing modality for decreasing stress. Lastly, long term pre-operative opioid use has been linked with higher pain scores and longer pain duration. This provides the basis on which pre-operative opioid weaning can lead to favorable post-operative pain outcomes. While many of these methods have not been experimented on recipients of abdominal surgery in specific, it still paves the path for newer pain control strategies that can eventually be adopted for visceral surgery patients. This review points the reader and researchers to new and developing areas that hold the potential to revolutionize current established pain management guidelines.

Abstract
Background This is the second updated Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Society guideline, presenting a consensus for optimal perioperative care in bariatric surgery and providing recommendations for each ERAS item within the ERAS® protocol. Methods A principal literature search was performed utilizing the Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane databases and ClinicalTrials.gov through December 2020, with particular attention paid to meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials and large prospective cohort studies. Selected studies were examined, reviewed and graded according to the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. After critical appraisal of these studies, the group of authors reached consensus regarding recommendations. Results The quality of evidence for many ERAS interventions remains relatively low in a bariatric setting and evidence-based practices may need to be extrapolated from other surgeries. Conclusion A comprehensive, updated evidence-based consensus was reached and is presented in this review by the ERAS® Society.

Abstract
Objective: to assess the effect of a care intervention focused on meeting the needs of
family members of surgical patients during the surgery waiting time, when
compared to conventional care. Method: a study with a quasi-experimental design that was developed from December
2019 to February 2020 and included 313 family members (Intervention
Group=149 and Control Group=164) from a private hospital. The intervention
consisted in four moments: “knowing the surgical environment and process”,
“information when the surgery starts”, “information when the surgery ends”,
and “family-patient reunion”. The “satisfaction” variable was assessed
through the “Patient Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire”
instrument. The data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical
statistics. The study observed the ethical principles in research. Results: the family members in the Intervention Group presented greater satisfaction
with Nursing care, 90.07(9.8), when compared to the Comparison Group,
78.72(16.38), with an 11.35-point increase(p=0.000). Conclusion: the results showed that the families that received the intervention on the
patient’s status during the surgery waiting time were more satisfied with
Nursing care in comparison to the conventional intervention.

BMC Health Serv Res 2021; 21:443. [PMID: 33971869 PMCID: PMC8108411 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-021-06437-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Prehabilitation services assist patients in preparing for surgery, yet access to these services are often limited by geographical factors. Enabling rural and regional patients to access specialist surgical prehabilitation support with the use of telehealth technology has the potential to overcome health inequities and improve post-operative outcomes. Aim To evaluate the current and likely future impact of a telehealth preoperative education package for patients preparing for major abdominal cancer surgery. Methods A telehealth alternative to a hospital based pre-operative education session was developed and implemented at a dedicated cancer hospital. Adult patients (≥18 years) scheduled for elective major cancer surgery were offered this telehealth alternative. Impact evaluation was conducted using the RE-AIM framework. Results To date, 35 participants have consented to participate in the study. Thirty-one participants attended the intervention; 24 (69%) residing in rural or regional areas. Twenty-four (77%) reported that if given a choice they would prefer the online session as opposed to attending the hospital in person. The majority (97%) reported they would recommend the intervention to others preparing for surgery. Session information was recalled by all 26 participants and 77% of participants reported acting on recommendations 2 weeks after the session. Lessons learnt and recommendations for providers implementing similar programs are reported. Conclusion Telehealth alternatives to hospital based pre-operative education are well received by patients preparing for major cancer surgery. We make seven recommendations to improve implementation. Further evaluation of implementation strategies alongside clinical effectiveness in future studies is essential. Trial registration ACTRN12620000096954, 04/02/2020.

Intraoperative hypotension and complications after vascular surgery: A scoping review. Surgery 2021; 170:311-317. [PMID: 33972092 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2021.03.054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative hypotension during major surgery is associated with adverse health outcomes. This phenomenon represents a potentially important therapeutic target for vascular surgery patients, who may be uniquely vulnerable to intraoperative hypotension. This review summarizes current evidence regarding the impact of intraoperative hypotension on postoperative complications in patients undergoing vascular surgery, focusing on potentially modifiable procedure- and patient-specific risk factors. METHODS A scoping review of the literature from Embase, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases was conducted from inception to December 2019 to identify articles related to the effects of intraoperative hypotension on patients undergoing vascular surgery. RESULTS Ninety-two studies met screening criteria; 9 studies met quality and inclusion criteria. Among the 9 studies that defined intraoperative hypotension objectively, there were 9 different definitions. Accordingly, the reported incidence of intraoperative hypotension ranged from 8% to 88% (when defined as a fall in systolic blood pressure of >30 mm Hg or mean arterial pressure <65). The results demonstrated that intraoperative hypotension is an independent risk factor for longer hospital length of stay, myocardial injury, acute kidney injury, postoperative mechanical ventilation, and early mortality. Vascular surgery patients with comorbid conditions that confer increased vulnerability to hypoperfusion and ischemia appear to be susceptible to the adverse effects of intraoperative hypotension. CONCLUSION There is no validated, consensus definition of intraoperative hypotension or other hemodynamic parameters associated with increased risk for adverse outcomes. Despite these limitations, the weight of evidence suggests that intraoperative hypotension is common and associated with major postoperative complications in vascular surgery patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aims of the study were to evaluate and to quantify the effects of patient and family involvement (PFI) interventions on patient safety by synthesizing the available global data. METHODS Four databases were searched to identify relevant studies that have assessed the impact of PFI on patient safety up to March 2019. Reference lists of potential selected articles were also used to identify additional relevant studies. Effect sizes (ESs) were calculated using random and fixed effects models. Statistical heterogeneity was measured using the I2 test. RESULTS Twenty-two studies met the review criteria. The meta-analysis showed that PFI were beneficial in significantly reducing adverse events (ES = -0.240, P < 0.001), decreasing the length of hospital stay (ES = -0.122, P < 0.001), increasing patient safety experiences (ES = 0.630, P = 0.007), and improving patient satisfaction (ES = 0.268, P = 0.004). However, the PFI interventions did not significantly enhance the perception of patient safety (ES = 0.205, P = 0.09) or the quality of life (ES = 0.057, P = 0.61). Moreover, moderate-to-high heterogeneity was found for all impacts except adverse events (I2 = 0%) and length of hospital stay (I2 = 35%). A funnel plot indicated a low degree of publication bias for the adverse event outcome. CONCLUSIONS The synthesized evidence in this review demonstrates the benefits of PFI for promoting patient safety. However, further studies should extend the research scope to fill the existing gaps for both the type of PFI interventions and the patient safety outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study surgical patients' informational expectations and the level of received knowledge at the time of hospital discharge. To examine if there is an association with postoperative complications and the patient´s level of received knowledge. DESIGN Comparative descriptive design. SETTING The data on patients admitted for non-cardiac surgery were collected in three phases during an eight-month period. PARTICIPANTS 258 in-ward non-cardiac general surgery and orthopedic surgery adult patients. INTERVENTIONS Questionnaires before admission (knowledge expectations) and at discharge (received knowledge). A telephone interview 30 days after discharge. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Received knowledge (as much or more / less) compared to expectations, and its association with post-discharge complications. RESULTS There were differences between patient groups in their perception of receiving enough knowledge and they were connected to gender (male vs. female OR 2.67, 95% CI 1.55-4.60, P = 0.0004) and procedure (elective orthopedic implant surgery vs. elective minor orthopedic and hand surgery: OR 3.25, 95% CI 1.72-6.17, P = 0.0003). Patients who received less knowledge than expected had more postoperative complications than those who received sufficient (as much or more than expected) information. CONCLUSIONS Patients differ in terms of informational needs, and preoperative education prepares the patient for the information provided postoperatively. Patient education may have an influence on recovery from surgery.
