[PMID: 38816568 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-024-08607-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Although there is a growing emphasis on supportive care for cancer patients, those with colorectal cancer (CRC) who have ostomies require special attention in terms of their physical, psychological, spiritual, and social needs. However, there has been a lack of significant progress in meeting the supportive care needs of CRC survivors with ostomies. To bridge this gap, we conducted a prospective longitudinal study to track the trends in supportive care needs among CRC survivors with ostomies and identify any predictors over 6-month period. METHODS A prospective longitudinal study was conducted at the wound and stoma clinic of Dalian University Affiliated Xinhua Hospital, focusing on CRC survivors with ostomies. A total of 143 participants completed self-report questionnaires on the 34-item Short-Form Supportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS-SF34-C (Mandarin)) and stoma complications at the first, third, and sixth month after surgery. ANOVA with repeated measure was utilized to assess the course of supportive care needs, with Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) applied to identify predictors of SCNS. RESULTS The supportive care needs and five dimensions scores were statistically significant at three time points (P < 0.05). The ratings of patients at the first, third, and sixth month after surgery revealed a decreasing trend in the scores for patient care and support, psychological needs, physical and daily living needs, and health system and information needs. However, the score for sexual needs showed an increased tendency. Higher levels supportive care needs were generally connected with a short duration after ostomy, high income level, resident medical insurance, spouse caregiver, other chronic disease, and stoma complications. CONCLUSIONS Survivors' supportive care needs showed a dynamic trend over 6 months after surgery. Through three rounds, the primary needs were health system and information needs. It is recommended to integrate interdisciplinary health professionals and establish a comprehensive support and care system to effectively meet the diverse needs at different stages. Priority should be given to individuals with ostomies during the first and third month after surgery, particularly those with higher income levels, employee medical insurance, spouse caregivers, other chronic diseases, and stoma complications.

Surgical outcomes and stoma-related complications in inflammatory bowel disease in Saudi Arabia: a retrospective study. Ann Saudi Med 2023; 43:386-393. [PMID: 38071440 PMCID: PMC11182432 DOI: 10.5144/0256-4947.2023.386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn's (C) and ulcerative colitis (UC) has increased in Saudi Arabia during the past decade. Even though medical treatment is first-line therapy, most patients require surgery during the course of the disease. Stoma creation complications in IBD are underreported in the literature of the Middle East and especially in Saudi Arabia. OBJECTIVES Report the postoperative, stoma and peristomal complications following stoma creation in (C) versus UC. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS Tertiary care center. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with IBD who underwent stoma creation for either UC or CD between August 2015 and July 2020 were included. The diseases were compared to assess their characteristics and association to postoperative, stoma and peristomal complications. All complications were reported over a 90-day duration from the surgery. Patients younger than 14 years of age were excluded. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Postoperative complications, stoma and peristomal complications in IBD patients who underwent stoma creation. SAMPLE SIZE 50. RESULTS Of 50 IBD patients underwent stoma creation, 32 patients (64%) were diagnosed with CD and 18 patients (36%) with UC. Most of the procedures in both groups were laparoscopic and elective. Low BMI and serum albumin were more prevalent in the CD group. Postoperative complications were higher in the CD patients compared to the UC patients (CD 40.6% vs UC 11.1%, P=.028) with the most common complication being abdominal collection[a]. Stoma complications were comparable between the two groups (UC 16.7% vs CD 15.6%). However, peristomal complications were higher clinically in UC patients in comparison with the CD patients (UC 61.1% vs CD 37.5% P=.095) with the most common complication being skin excoriation (UC 44.4% vs CD 37.5%). CONCLUSIONS CD has significantly higher postoperative complications compared to UC. Peristomal complications were high in both groups and had a negative impact on quality of life. Therefore, comprehensive stoma education and regular outpatient follow ups are recommended to improve the overall outcomes. LIMITATIONS Retrospective and conducted in one academic institution with a small sample size.

Abstract
Patients with a stoma are at risk of developing peristomal skin complications (PSCs) that can negatively impact their quality of life. This study aims to identify potential risk factors for dermatitis, pruritis/xerosis, infections, and ulcerations among patients with a stoma and evaluate preventive measures. This cross-sectional study involved data regarding 232 Italian patients with a stoma. A questionnaire was used to collect patient characteristics, comorbidities, and stoma management data. The most frequent PSCs observed were dermatitis and pruritis/xerosis in approximately 60% of patients. Psoriasis was strongly correlated with dermatitis, while being overweight or obese increased the risk of pruritis/xerosis. Class 2 obesity and atopic dermatitis were associated with an increased risk of infections. Being underweight, completely nonautonomous, and having inflammatory bowel disease were associated with a higher risk of ulcerations, while radiotherapy was a strong risk factor for ulceration. Preventive measures such as using hydrocolloid barriers, TNT gauze cleansing, and low pH detergent were effective in preventing dermatitis. Appropriate stoma care and maintenance, including the use of protective film and careful monitoring of weight and comorbidities, are crucial in minimizing the risk of complications associated with a stoma.

Abstract
A 56-year-old female patient with colostomy presented with skin-colored cobblestone and verrucous asymptomatic papules on her peristomal skin for three months; she was referred to dermatology. Histopathology revealed irregular acanthosis, tongue-like extension of rete ridges of mature squamous epithelium without atypical morphology, hyperkeratosis, and inflammation of the skin. The histopathologic appearance was evaluated as compatible with pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia. No signs of malignancy, fungus, or koilocytes were found. The lesions were diagnosed as pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia by clinical and histopathologic findings. In this case report, we review pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia associated with colostomy.
