Long-Term Outcomes of Patients with Acute Cholecystitis after Successful Percutaneous Cholecystostomy Treatment and the Risk Factors for Recurrence: A Decade Experience at a Single Center.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous cholecystostomy tube (PCT) has been effectively used for the treatment of acute cholecystitis (AC) for patients unsuitable for early cholecystectomy. This retrospective study investigated the recurrence rate after successful PCT treatment and factors associated with recurrence.

Methods

We reviewed patients treated with PCT for AC from October 2004 through December 2013. Patients with successful PCT treatment were those who were free from persistent PCT drainage. We used multivariable logistic regression analysis sequentially to identify factors associated with each outcome.

Results

The study included 184 patients (mean age: 70.1 years). The average duration for parenteral antibiotics was 14.4 days and 20.0 days for PCT drainage. The one-year recurrence rate was 9.2% (17/184) with most recurrences occurring within two months (6.5%, 12/184) of the procedure. Complicated cholecystitis (odds ratio [OR]: 4.67; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.44-15.70; P = 0.01) and PCT drainage duration >32 days (OR: 4.92; 95% CI: 1.03-23.53; P = 0.05) positively correlated with one-year recurrence; parenteral antibiotics duration >10 days (OR: 0.21; 95% CI: 0.05-0.68; P = 0.01) was inversely associated with one-year recurrence.

Conclusions

The recurrence rate was low for patients after successful PCT treatment. Predictors for recurrence included the severity of initial AC and subsequently provided treatments.

Project description:Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard for the treatment of acute cholecystitis (AC). Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) for management of AC is increasing; safe and less invasive than laparoscopic cholecystectomy and is very useful in selected patients with severe comorbidities, not suitable for surgery/general anesthesia. We conducted a retrospective observational study between 2016 and 2021 of patients treated with PC for AC, based on the application of the Tokyo guidelines 13/18. The aim was to analyse the clinical results and management of PC in patients undergoing elective or emergency cholecystectomy. Subsequently, a retrospective analytical study was designed to compare various cohorts: elective or emergency surgery and management with PC alone; patients with/without a high surgical risk; and elective vs emergency surgery. Hundred and ninety five patients with AC were treated with PC. Mean age was 74 years, 59.5% were ASA class III/IV, and the mean Charlson comorbidity index was 5.5. Adherence to Tokyo guidelines regarding indication of PC was 50.8%. The rate of complications associated to PC was 12.3% and the 90-day mortality rate was 14.4%. Mean length of time using PC was 10.7 days. Emergency surgery was performed in 4.6%. The overall success rate using PC was 66.7%, and the 1-year readmission rate due to biliary complications after PC was 28.2%. The rate of scheduled cholecystectomy after PC was 22.6%. Conversion to laparotomy and open approach was more frequent in patients who underwent emergency surgery (p = 0.009). No differences were found in 90-day mortality or in the complication rate. PC achieves improvements in the inflammation and infection associated with AC. In our series, it proved to be an effective and safe treatment during the acute episode of AC. Mortality in patients treated with PC is high due to their older age, greater morbidity, and higher Charlson comorbidity index scores. After PC, emergency surgery is uncommon but readmission due to biliary events is high. Cholecystectomy after PC is the definitive treatment and the laparoscopic approach is feasible. Clinical trial registery: The study was registered in the public accessible database clinicaltrials.gov with the ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05153031. Public release date: 12/09/2021.
