A hospital-to-home evaluation of an enhanced recovery protocol for elective pancreaticoduodenectomy in China: A cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs have been shown to decrease postoperative complications and hospital stay in pancreaticoduodenectomy. However, no studies concerned recovery after discharge except readmission. This study evaluated an ERAS program for pancreaticoduodenectomy from hospital to home.A prospective ERAS cohort undergoing elective pancreaticoduodenectomy was compared with a retrospective control group in terms of postoperative complications and hospital stay, and home recovery after discharge. Propensity-score matching was used to balance their baselines.Two groups of 31 patients with similar propensity scores were established. Postoperative morbidities were 18 of 31 and 26 of 31 in the ERAS and control groups, respectively (P?=?.06). Patients in the ERAS group suffered from fewer cardiovascular complications (3/31 vs 11/31; P?=?.04) and intestinal dysbacteriosis (4/31 vs 13/31; P?=?.04). Median postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the ERAS group (8 vs 16 days; P?

Project description:IntroductionThe aim of the cervical ripening at home or in-hospital-prospective cohort study and process evaluation (CHOICE) study is to compare home versus in-hospital cervical ripening to determine whether home cervical ripening is safe (for the primary outcome of neonatal unit (NNU) admission), acceptable to women and cost-effective from the perspective of both women and the National Health Service (NHS).Methods and analysisWe will perform a prospective multicentre observational cohort study with an internal pilot phase. We will obtain data from electronic health records from at least 14 maternity units offering only in-hospital cervical ripening and 12 offering dinoprostone home cervical ripening. We will also conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis and a mixed methods study to evaluate processes and women/partner experiences. Our primary sample size is 8533 women with singleton pregnancies undergoing induction of labour (IOL) at 39+0 weeks' gestation or more. To achieve this and contextualise our findings, we will collect data relating to a cohort of approximately 41 000 women undergoing IOL after 37 weeks. We will use mixed effects logistic regression for the non-inferiority comparison of NNU admission and propensity score matched adjustment to control for treatment indication bias. The economic analysis will be undertaken from the perspective of the NHS and Personal Social Services (PSS) and the pregnant woman. It will include a within-study cost-effectiveness analysis and a lifetime cost-utility analysis to account for any long-term impacts of the cervical ripening strategies. Outcomes will be reported as incremental cost per NNU admission avoided and incremental cost per quality adjusted life year gained.Research ethics approval and disseminationCHOICE has been funded and approved by the National Institute of Healthcare Research Health Technology and Assessment, and the results will be disseminated via publication in peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberISRCTN32652461.

Project description:BackgroundThe principles of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) aim to reduce the physiological stress of surgery which in turn improve clinical and health economic outcomes. There is ample evidence in literature supporting ERAS methodologies in other surgical specialties, but its adoption in spinal surgery, especially in Australia remains in infancy. The aim of this project is to describe the early experience with an evidence-based ERAS pathway for simple spine surgery, a first of its kind in Australia.MethodsAn ERAS protocol was designed using an evidenced-based review of the literature. The authors then conducted a prospective cohort analysis looking at outcome of patients undergoing elective spinal (lumbar and cervical) decompression surgery under ERAS principles by a single surgeon on the Westmead Hospital Campus between March 2021 to May 2023. Primary outcomes were patient length of stay (LOS), patient reported pain and disability scores and complications (including readmissions within 30 days and re-operation within 6 months). Secondary outcomes included predictors of failure for same-day discharge.ResultsA total of 52 patients underwent spinal decompression surgeries under the ERAS protocol. Overall 43 out of 52 patients (83.7%) were successfully discharged on the same day as their surgery. Patient reported outcomes were improved at 6 weeks and 6 months confirming durability of intervention. The rates of complications were similar to literature reported rates for simple lumbar or cervical decompression procedures and there were no readmissions within 30 days or re-operations within 6 months of surgery. Being of non-English speaking background [odds ratio (OR) =6.08, P=0.04] and from home alone (OR =10.25, P=0.03) were predictors of failure of same day discharge in this small cohort.ConclusionsImplementation of ERAS protocols for simple spinal decompression surgeries is feasible and produces durable improved patient outcomes while reducing LOS in hospitals. Patient social factors can be predictive of lack of compliance.

Project description:ImportanceThe Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care protocol has been shown to improve outcomes compared with traditional care in certain types of surgery.ObjectiveTo assess the association of use of the ERAS protocols with complications in patients undergoing elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Design, setting, and participantsThis multicenter, prospective cohort study included patients recruited from 131 centers in Spain from October 22 through December 22, 2018. All consecutive adults scheduled for elective THA or TKA were eligible for inclusion. Patients were stratified between those treated in a self-designated ERAS center (ERAS group) and those treated in a non-ERAS center (non-ERAS group). Data were analyzed from June 15 through September 15, 2019.ExposuresTotal hip or knee arthroplasty and perioperative management. Sixteen individual ERAS items were assessed in all included patients, whether they were treated at a center that was part of an established ERAS protocol or not.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was postoperative complications within 30 days after surgery. Secondary outcomes included length of stay and mortality.ResultsDuring the 2-month recruitment period, 6146 patients were included (3580 women [58.2%]; median age, 71 [interquartile range (IQR), 63-76] years). Of these, 680 patients (11.1%) presented with postoperative complications. No differences were found in the number of patients with overall postoperative complications between ERAS and non-ERAS groups (163 [10.2%] vs 517 [11.4%]; odds ratio [OR], 0.89; 95% CI, 0.74-1.07; P?=?.22). Fewer patients in the ERAS group had moderate to severe complications (73 [4.6%] vs 279 [6.1%]; OR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.56-0.96; P?=?.02). The median overall adherence rate with the ERAS protocol was 50.0% (IQR, 43.8%-62.5%), with the rate for ERAS facilities being 68.8% (IQR, 56.2%-81.2%) vs 50.0% (IQR, 37.5%-56.2%) at non-ERAS centers (P?<?.001). Among the patients with the highest and lowest quartiles of adherence to ERAS components, the patients with the highest adherence had fewer overall postoperative complications (144 [10.6%] vs 270 [13.0%]; OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.64-0.99; P?<?.001) and moderate to severe postoperative complications (59 [4.4%] vs 143 [6.9%]; OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.45-0.84; P?<?.001) and shorter median length of hospital stay (4 [IQR, 3-5] vs 5 [IQR, 4-6] days; OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.96-0.99; P?<?.001).Conclusions and relevanceAn increase in adherence to the ERAS program was associated with a decrease in postoperative complications, although only a few ERAS items were individually associated with improved outcomes.
