Risk factors for anastomotic leakage and its impact on long-term survival in left-sided colorectal cancer surgery.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Anastomotic leakage (AL) significantly impairs short-term outcomes. The impact on the long-term outcomes remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for AL and the impact on long-term survival in patients with left-sided colorectal cancer. METHODS:Nine-hundred patients with left-sided colorectal carcinoma who underwent sigmoid or rectal resection were enrolled in the study. Risk factors for AL after sigmoid or rectal resection were identified, and long-term outcomes of patients with and without AL were compared. RESULTS:AL rates following sigmoid and rectal resection were 5.1% and 10.7%, respectively. Higher ASA score (III-IV; OR = 10.54, p = 0.007) was associated with AL in patients undergoing sigmoid surgery on multivariable analysis. Male sex (OR = 2.40, p = 0.004), CCI score > 5 (OR = 1.72, p = 0.025), and T3/T4 stage tumors (OR = 2.25, p = 0.017) were risk factors for AL after rectal resection on multivariable analysis. AL impaired disease-free and overall survival in patients undergoing sigmoid (p = 0.009 and p = 0.001) and rectal (p = 0.003 and p = 0.014) surgery. CONCLUSION:ASA score of III-IV is an independent risk factor for AL after sigmoid surgery, and male sex, higher CCI score, and advanced T stage are risk factors for AL after rectal surgery. AL impairs the long-term survival in patients undergoing left-sided colorectal surgery.

Project description:BackgroundAnastomotic leakage (AL) is a severe complication after colorectal surgery. This study aimed to investigate a method for the early diagnosis of AL after surgical resection by analysing inflammatory factors (IFs) in peritoneal drainage fluid.MethodsAbdominal drainage fluid of patients with colorectal cancer who underwent resection between April 2017 and April 2018, were prospectively collected in the postoperative interval. Six IFs, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2, and MMP9, in drainage were determined by multiplex immunoassay to investigate AL (in patients undergoing resection and anastomosis) and pelvic collection (in patients undergoing abdominoperineal resection). Sparreboom and colleagues' prediction model was first evaluated for AL/pelvic collection, followed by a new IF-based score system (AScore) that was developed by a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, for the same outcomes. The model performance was tested for the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), and positive predictive value (PPV).ResultsOut of 123 patients eligible, 119 patients were selected, including 12 patients with AL/pelvic collection. Sparreboom and colleagues' prediction model was documented with the best diagnostic efficacy on postoperative day 3 (POD3), with an AUC of 0.77. After optimization, AScore on POD3 increased the AUC to 0.83 and on POD1 showed the best diagnostic efficiency, with an AUC of 0.88. Based on the Youden index, the cut-off value of AScore on POD1 was set as -2.46 to stratify patients into low-risk and high-risk groups for AL/pelvic collection. The model showed 90.0 per cent sensitivity, 69.7 per cent specificity, 98.4 per cent NPV, and 25.0 per cent PPV.ConclusionsThe early determination of IFs in abdominal drainage fluid of patients undergoing colorectal surgery could be useful to predict AL or pelvic collection.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Anastomotic leakage (AL) remains the most important complication following colorectal surgery, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Previous research has focused on identifying risk factors and potential biomarkers for AL, but the sensitivity of these tests remains poor. OBJECTIVE:This prospective multicenter observational study aims at combining multiple parameters to establish a diagnostic algorithm for colorectal AL. METHODS:This study aims to include 588 patients undergoing surgery for colorectal carcinoma. Patients will be eligible for inclusion when surgery includes the construction of a colorectal anastomosis. Patient characteristics will be collected upon consented inclusion, and buccal swabs, breath, stool, and blood samples will be obtained prior to surgery. These samples will allow for the collection of information regarding patients' inflammatory status, genetic predisposition, and intestinal microbiota. Additionally, breath and blood samples will be taken postoperatively and patients will be strictly observed during their in-hospital stay, and the period shortly thereafter. RESULTS:This study has been open for inclusion since August 2015. CONCLUSIONS:An estimated 8-10% of patients will develop AL following surgery, and they will be compared to non-leakage patients. The objectives of this study are twofold. The primary aim is to establish and validate a diagnostic algorithm for the pre-operative prediction of the risk of AL development using a combination of inflammatory, immune-related, and genetic parameters. Previously established risk factors and novel parameters will be incorporated into this algorithm, which will aid in the recognition of patients who are at risk for AL. Based on these results, recommendations can be made regarding the construction of an anastomosis or deviating stoma, and possible preventive strategies. Furthermore, we aim to develop a new algorithm for the post-operative diagnosis of AL at an earlier stage, which will positively reflect on short-term survival rates.
