Joint effect of pre-operative anemia and perioperative blood transfusion on outcomes of colon-cancer patients undergoing colectomy.

ABSTRACT: Background:Both pre-operative anemia and perioperative (intra- and/or post-operative) blood transfusion have been reported to increase post-operative complications in patients with colon cancer undergoing colectomy. However, their joint effect has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the joint effect of pre-operative anemia and perioperative blood transfusion on the post-operative outcome of colon-cancer patients after colectomy. Methods:We identified patients from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database 2006-2016 who underwent colectomy for colon cancer. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the independent and joint effects of anemia and blood transfusion on patient outcomes. Results:A total of 35,863 patients-18,936 (52.8%) with left-side colon cancer (LCC) and 16,927 (47.2%) with right-side colon cancer (RCC)-were identified. RCC patients were more likely to have mild anemia (62.7%) and severe anemia (2.9%) than LCC patients (40.2% mild anemia and 1.4% severe anemia). A total of 2,661 (7.4%) of all patients (1,079 [5.7%] with LCC and 1,582 [9.3%] with RCC) received a perioperative blood transfusion. Overall, the occurrence rates of complications were comparable between LCC and RCC patients (odds ratio [OR]?=?1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI]?=?0.95-1.07; P?=?0.750). There were significant joint effects of anemia and transfusion on complications and the 30-day death rate (P for interaction: 0.010). Patients without anemia who received a transfusion had a higher risk of any complications (LCC, OR?=?3.51; 95% CI?=?2.55-4.85; P?

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Patients undergoing ileostomy surgery often experience electrolyte disturbances and dehydration, especially during the first post-operative period. Recently, research has also begun on how the newly constructed ileostomy affects the patient's nutritional status. AIM:The aim of the present pilot study was to assess the nutritional status of patients before and after the construction of the ileostomy as well as nutrition-related factors. MATERIAL AND METHOD:This was a pilot study. The sample consisted of 13 adult patients diagnosed with colorectal or colon cancer who underwent scheduled ileostomy surgery. The evaluation tool used was "Original Full Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA)". Patients underwent nutritional assessment before the surgery (time 0), on the 7th post-operative day (time 1), and on the 20th post-operative day (time 2). The statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS:All patients had a drop in MNA score on the 7th and 20th post-operative days. Factors associated with MNA were weight loss, mobility, body mass index (BMI), number of full meals consumed per day, portions of fruits and vegetables consumed per day, and mid-arm circumference, p < 0.05, respectively. Pre-operatively, 38.5%, of patients had severe weight loss (>3 kg), 23% moderate weight loss and 38.5% minimal weight loss. Pre-operatively, 92.3% of participants were able to move on their own and 69.2% on the 20th post-operatively day. Furthermore, BMI >23 kg/m2 had 84.6% of participants pre-operatively and 30.8% on the 20th post-operative day. In terms of portions of fruits and vegetables consumed per day, 30.8% of patients consumed at least 2 times, pre-operatively and no one (0%) on the 20th post-operative day. Moreover, pre-operatively all participants (100%) had arm circumference >22 cm while on the 20th post-operative day, only 38.5% of participants had arm circumference >22 cm. CONCLUSIONS:In the first 20 days after the construction of an ileostomy, the nutritional status of the patients is significantly affected. Decreased patient nutrition in both quantity and ingredients and reduced fluid intake appear to adversely affect the patient's nutritional status.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The need for a transfusion is one of the adverse events following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and accurately predicting this need remains challenging for arthroplasty surgeons. The purpose of the present research is to study the preoperative predictors of transfusion risk in patients following TKA and develop a nomogram. METHODS:The nomogram was developed based on a training set of 5402 patients who underwent TKA at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between September 2013 and November 2018. The independent predictors of transfusion were identified by univariate, LASSO, and binary logistic regression analyses. Then, a nomogram was established based on these independent predictors. The area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were selected to evaluate the nomogram. The results were validated using an independent set of 1116 patients who underwent TKA between December 2018 and September 2019. In addition, we also carried out subgroup analyses in the training and testing sets based on the independent predictors. RESULTS:Five independent predictors were identified by multivariate analysis and were used to establish the nomogram. The AUCs of the nomogram were 0.884 (95% CI: 0.865-0.903) and 0.839 (95% CI, 0.773-0.905) in the training and testing sets, respectively. In both the training and testing sets, the calibration curve indicated that the prediction by the nomogram was highly consistent with the actual observation, and the DCA indicated that the nomogram had a favorable level of clinical usefulness. In addition, the AUC of the nomogram was significantly higher than the AUC of any independent predictor for predicting transfusion risk following TKA, and the subgroup analysis showed good performance in 20 subgroups. CONCLUSION:Lower preoperative Hb levels, simultaneous bilateral TKA, lower BMI, older age, and coronary heart disease were identified as independent predictors of postoperative transfusion in patients following TKA. A nomogram incorporating the above five predictors could accurately predict the transfusion risk.
