Trends of mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery and related factors in female breast cancer patients treated at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 2009-2017: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Background:Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and accounts for 14.7% of cancer-related deaths among females worldwide. Its core management includes surgical removal of the tumor either by breast-conserving surgery (BCS) or mastectomy. Choosing between these two procedures may be influenced by factors that are not studied in our region. We aimed to determine the prevalence of BCS and mastectomy and the factors that may influence the choice of procedure. Methods:This retrospective study was carried out by reviewing the records of female breast cancer patients who underwent BCS or mastectomy at between 2009 to June 2017, excluding those with metastasis or recurrence. Frequencies and multivariate tests were used for detecting correlations between procedures and demographic, clinicopathological, and radiological factors. Results:Of 335 patients (mean age 52.75?±?12.2 years), 62.4% had mastectomy and 37.6% had BCS. Modified radical mastectomy accounted for 70.8% of mastectomies. Multivariate analysis showed non-Saudi nationality (P?=?0.002), multifocal (P?=?0.0001) and multicentric tumors (P?=?0.0001), large tumor size (P?=?0.0001), tumor stages IIIA (P?=?0.005) and IIIB (P?=?0.014), positive HER2 (0.009), and triple-negative receptor status (P?=?0.010) significantly correlated with mastectomy. Conclusion:Mastectomy has a much higher prevalence than BCS in our study mainly due to advanced tumor stage at the time of diagnosis. This emphasizes the urgent need for early detection of breast cancer to move towards BCS, with education and increasing awareness of breast cancer and the surgical options, especially that it is more common in a significantly younger population in our area.

Project description:BackgroundPediatric sepsis remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This study aimed to identify the incidence of sepsis and septic shock among patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of a tertiary center in Saudi Arabia. Patients' demographics and risk factors associated with sepsis-related mortality were also investigated.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted in the PICU of King Abdulaziz Medical City, Jeddah (KAMC-J). KAMC-J is a tertiary care hospital in the western region of Saudi Arabia. A total of 2389 patients admitted to the PICU of KAMC-J between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017 were screened and evaluated for sepsis using The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (Sepsis-3).ResultsOf the 2389 total admissions to the PICU, 113 patients (4.9%) met the definition of Sepsis-3; 50.4% of the 113 patients met the definition of septic shock. Most patients (66.3%) were less than 6 years old, and 52.2% were male. Eight-five patients (75.2%) had underlying comorbidities. The respiratory system was the most common primary site of infection (57.5%). Bacterial and viral infections were the most common infectious etiology with reported rates of 29.2 and 21.2%, respectively. The median duration of PICU stay was 8 days and the 28-day PICU mortality rate was 23.9%. A Pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA) Score greater than four and a pre-existing percutaneous central venous catheter were associated with a significant increase in mortality, with adjusted odds ratios of 3.6 (95% confidence interval: 1.30-9.93) and 9.27 (95% confidence interval: 1.28-67.29), respectively.ConclusionsThe incidence of sepsis in our institution is comparable to that reported internationally; however, the mortality rate is higher than that of developed countries. Nationwide studies identifying sepsis epidemiology are needed to improve the outcome of pediatric sepsis. Following international guidelines for central-line insertion and maintenance is of paramount importance.
