Early operative management in patients with adhesive small bowel obstruction: population-based cost analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Adhesive small bowel obstruction (aSBO) is a potentially recurrent disease. Although non-operative management is often successful, it is associated with greater risk of recurrence than operative intervention, and may have greater downstream morbidity and costs. This study aimed to compare the current standard of care, trial of non-operative management (TNOM), and early operative management (EOM) for aSBO. METHODS:Patients admitted to hospital between 2005 and 2014 in Ontario, Canada, with their first episode of aSBO were identified and propensity-matched on their likelihood to receive EOM for a cost-utility analysis using population-based administrative data. Patients were followed for 5?years to determine survival, recurrences, adverse events and inpatient costs to the healthcare system. Utility scores were attributed to aSBO-related events. Cost-utility was presented as the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), expressed as Canadian dollars per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). RESULTS:Some 25?150 patients were admitted for aSBO and 3174 (12·6 per cent) were managed by EOM. Patients managed by TNOM were more likely to experience recurrence of aSBO (20·9 per cent versus 13·2 per cent for EOM; P?

Project description:BackgroundA trial of initial non-operative management is recommended in stable patients with adhesional small bowel obstruction. However, recent retrospective studies have suggested that early operative management may be of benefit in reducing subsequent recurrences. This study aimed to compare recurrence rates and survival in patients with adhesional small bowel obstruction treated operatively or non-operatively.MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study conducted at six acute hospitals in Denmark, including consecutive patients admitted with adhesional small bowel obstruction over a 4-month interval. Patients were stratified into two groups according to their treatment (operative versus non-operative) and followed up for 1 year after their index admission. Primary outcomes were recurrence of small bowel obstruction and overall survival within 1 year of index admission.ResultsA total of 201 patients were included, 118 (58.7 per cent) of whom were treated operatively during their index admission. Patients undergoing operative treatment had significantly better 1-year recurrence-free survival compared with patients managed non-operatively (operative 92.5 per cent versus non-operative 66.6 per cent, P <0.001). However, when the length of index admission was taken into account, patients treated non-operatively spent significantly less time admitted to hospital in the first year (median 3 days non-operative versus 6 days operative, P <0.001). On multivariable analysis, operative treatment was associated with decreased risks of recurrence (HR 0.22 (95 per cent c.i. 0.10-0.48), P <0.001) but an increased all-cause mortality rate (HR 2.48 (95 per cent c.i. 1.13-5.46), P = 0.024).ConclusionOperative treatment of adhesional small bowel obstruction is associated with reduced risks of recurrence but increased risk of death in the first year after admission.Registration numberNCT04750811 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).prior (registration date: 11 February 2021).

Project description:BackgroundAdhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is one of the most common causes of postoperative morbidity. According to Boyle's law, decreased barometric pressure expands the volume of intestinal gas. We aimed to elucidate the relationship between barometric pressure and ASBO.MethodsWe divided 215 admissions of 120 patients with ASBO into three groups: the fasting group, which responded to fasting (n = 51); the decompression group, which was successfully treated with gastrointestinal decompression (n = 104); and the surgery group which required emergency or elective surgery to treat ASBO (n = 60). We compared and examined clinical backgrounds, findings on admission, and barometric pressure during the peri-onset period (29 days: from 14 days before to 14 days after the onset of ASBO).ResultsThere were significant differences among the three groups regarding gender, history of ASBO, hospital length of stay, and barometric pressure on the onset day of ASBO. Barometric pressure on the onset day was significantly higher in the fasting group than in the decompression group (p = 0.005). During pre-onset day 5 to post-onset day 2, fluctuations in the barometric pressure in the fasting and decompression groups showed reciprocal changes with a symmetrical axis overlapping the median barometric pressure in Matsumoto City; the fluctuations tapered over time after onset. In the fasting group, the barometric pressure on the onset day was significantly higher than that on pre-onset days 14, 11, 7, 4, 3, and 2; post-onset days 3 and 10; and the median pressure in Matsumoto City. Conversely, in the decompression group, the barometric pressure on the onset day was lower than that on pre-onset days 14, 5-2; post-onset days 1, 2, 7, 8, 11, 13, and 14; and the median pressure in Matsumoto City. In the surgery group, the barometric pressure on the onset day was equivalent to those on the other days.ConclusionsASBO with response to conservative treatment is vulnerable to barometric pressure. Additionally, ASBO that is successfully treated with fasting and decompression is associated with a different barometric pressure on the onset day and reciprocal fluctuations in the barometric pressure during the peri-onset period.
