Elevated ADAMTS13 Activity is Associated with Poor Postoperative Outcome in Patients Undergoing Liver Resection.

ABSTRACT: Recently, von-Willebrand-Factor (vWF) has been shown to correlate with postoperative liver dysfunction (LD). Accordingly, "disintegrin-like metalloprotease with thrombospondin type1 motif" (ADAMTS13) is known to cleave vWF in less active fragments. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic potential of ADAMTS13-activity (ADAMTS13-AC) to identify patients with postoperative LD after hepatectomy. Accordingly 37 patients undergoing hepatectomy for different neoplastic entities were included in this study. Plasma ADAMTS13-AC and vWF-Ag were measured 1?day prior to (preOP), 1 and 5 days (POD1/5) after hepatectomy. In accordance to the ISGLS-criteria LD was prospectively recorded. In this context, perioperative ADAMTS13-AC- and vWF-Ag/ADAMTS13-AC-ratio- levels revealed a significant increase after hepatectomy. Accordingly, elevated vWF-Ag/ADAMTS13-AC-ratio significantly predicted LD (preOP AUC: 0.75, p?=?0.02; POD1 AUC: 0.80, p?=?0.03). Patients who fulfilled our perioperative vWF-Ag/ADAMTS13-AC-ratio cut-off-levels (preOP: ?116, POD1: ?165) suffered from significantly higher incidences of LD (preOP: 70% vs. 30%, p?=?0.01; POD1: 83% vs. 17%, p?=?0.001). In conclusion, perioperative ADAMTS13-AC measurement may serve as a useful parameter to early detect high-risk patients developing postoperative LD prior to liver resection in patients suffering from hepatic malignancies. Indeed, further investigations have to be performed to consolidate its role as a predictive marker for LD.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the incidence and risk factors of postoperative fever (POF) after liver resection. In patients with POF, predictors of febrile infectious complications were determined.MethodsA total of 797 consecutive patients undergoing liver resection from January 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively investigated. POF was defined as body temperature ≥ 38.0°C in the postoperative period. POF was characterized by time of first fever, the highest temperature, and frequency of fever. The Institut Mutualiste Montsouris (IMM) classification was used to stratify surgical difficulty, from grade I (low), grade II (intermediate) to grade III (high). Postoperative leukocytosis was defined as a 70% increase of white blood cell count from the preoperative value. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify risk factors for POF and predictors of febrile infectious complications.ResultsOverall, 401 patients (50.3%) developed POF. Of these, 10.5% had the time of first fever > postoperative day (POD) 2, 25.9% had fever > 38.6°C, and 60.6% had multiple fever spikes. In multivariate analysis, risk factors for POF were: IMM grade III resection (OR 1.572, p = 0.008), Charlson Comorbidity Index score > 3 (OR 1.872, p < 0.001), and serum albumin < 3.2 g/dL (OR 3.236, p = 0.023). 14.6% patients developed infectious complication, 21.9% of febrile patients and 7.1% of afebrile patients (p < 0.001). Predictors of febrile infectious complications were: fever > 38.6°C (OR 2.242, p = 0.003), time of first fever > POD2 (OR 6.002, p < 0.001), and multiple fever spikes (OR 2.039, p = 0.019). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for fever > 38.6°C were 39.8%, 78.0%, 33.7% and 82.2%, respectively. A combination of fever > 38.6°C and leukocytosis provided high specificity of 95.2%.ConclusionIn this study, we found that IMM classification, CCI score, and serum albumin level related with POF development in patients undergone liver resection. Time of first fever > POD2, fever > 38.6°C, and multiple fever spikes indicate an increased risk of febrile infectious complication. These findings may aid decision-making in patients with POF who require further diagnostic workup.
