Preoperative intravenous rehydration for patients with pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas: is it necessary? A propensity score matching analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preoperative intravenous rehydration for patients with pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) is widely used in many medical centers, but its usefulness has not been well evaluated. The objective of this study was to compare the perioperative hemodynamics and early outcome between patients who received preoperative intravenous rehydration and those without for resection of PPGLs.

Methods

In this retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study, the data of patients who underwent surgery for PPGLs were collected. Patients were divided into two groups depending on whether they received or did not receive intravenous rehydration preoperatively. The primary endpoint was intraoperative hypotension, described as the cumulative time of mean arterial pressure?ResultsAmong 231 enrolled patients, 113 patients received intravenous rehydration of ?2000?ml daily for ?2?days before surgery and 118 patients who did not have any intravenous rehydration before surgery. After propensity score matching, 85 patients remained in each group. The median cumulative time of mean arterial pressure?ConclusionsFor patients with PPGLs, preoperative intravenous rehydration failed to optimize perioperative hemodynamics or improve early outcome.

Project description:BackgroundAcute type A aortic dissection (AADA) is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease, and improving perioperative mortality remains a significant challenge. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of preemptive intubation under adequate sedation and analgesia on the prognosis of AADA patients under the high rupture risk.MethodsThe medical records of patients diagnosed with AADA and admitted to Changhai Hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they received preoperative preemptive intubation in the cardiac intensive care unit (ICU) before surgery. We used propensity score matching (PSM) analysis to conduct statistical analyses on the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative clinical data of the two groups.ResultsA total of 134 patients were eventually included in the study. One patient (3.8%) in the pre-intubation group and 15 (13.9%) in the control group died of dissection rupture before surgery. After excluding patients with dissection rupture, there were 25 patients in the pre-intubation group and 93 patients in the non-intubation group. After PSM, there were 17 patients in the pre-intubation group and 68 patients in the non-intubation group. Baseline data analysis showed that the pre-intubation group had a higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (10.2±3.9 vs. 8.0±4.7, P=0.036) and a higher proportion of patients with coronary artery disease (16.0% vs. 1.1%, P=0.007). The rate of massive pericardial effusion was also higher in the intubation group (28.0% vs. 10.8%, P=0.049), and preoperative oxygenation index was lower (273.2±97.3 vs. 322.1±100.9, P=0.032) compared to the control group. The results showed no significant differences in intraoperative and postoperative data for the two groups. Kaplan-Meier survival curves indicated a trend towards a more favorable prognosis for patients in the preemptive intubation group, but this difference was not significant either before or after PSM.ConclusionsPreemptive pre-intubation may benefit high-risk patients with factors such as hypoxia, massive pericardial effusion, and agitation, improving the more critically AADA patients' perioperative outcomes.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the prognostic significance of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in patients with bladder cancer (BCa) treated with radical cystectomy (RC).MethodsA total of 335 BCa patients who underwent RC between 2004 and 2019 at Peking University Third Hospital (PUTH) were analyzed retrospectively. The Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test was performed to assess overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were conducted to identify the prognostic factors of OS and PFS before and after propensity score matching (PSM).ResultsEnrolled patients were allocated into two groups according to the presence or absence of MetS (n=84 MetS vs n=251 non-MetS), and 82 new matched pairs were identified to balance the baseline characteristics after 1:1 PSM. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, MetS was associated with better OS (P=0.031) than the group without MetS. In addition, a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 was associated with better OS (P=0.011) and PFS (P=0.031), while low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was associated with worse OS (P=0.033) and PFS (P=0.010). In all patients, multivariate Cox analysis showed that hemoglobin, pathologic tumor stage and lymph node status were identified as independent prognostic factors for both OS and PFS, while age, MetS and HDL-C were independent prognostic factors only for OS. Reproducible results of multivariate analysis can still be observed in propensity matched patients. The results of further subgroup analysis revealed that the association of MetS with increased OS (P=0.043) and BMI ≥25 with increased OS (P=0.015) and PFS (P=0.029) was observed in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients.ConclusionsMetS was independently associated with better OS in BCa patients after RC, and HDL-C was the only component of MetS that was independently associated with worse OS. MetS and HDL-C may become reliable prognostic biomarkers of OS in BCa patients after RC to provide individualized prognostication and assist in the formulation of clinical treatment strategies.

Project description:BackgroundThe diagnostic process is a key element of medicine but it is complex and prone to errors. Infectious diseases are one of the three categories of diseases in which diagnostic errors can be most harmful to patients. In this study we aimed to estimate the effect of initial misdiagnosis of the source of infection in patients with bacteraemia on 14 day mortality using propensity score methods to adjust for confounding.MethodsData from a previously described longitudinal cohort of patients diagnosed with monobacterial bloodstream infection (BSI) at the Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC) between 2013 and 2015 were used. Propensity score matching and inversed probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) were applied to correct for confounding. The average treatment effect on the treated (ATT), which in this study was the average effect of initial misdiagnosis on the misdiagnosed (AEMM), was estimated. Methodological issues that were encountered when applying propensity score methods were addressed by performing additional sensitivity analyses. Sensitivity analyses consisted of varying caliper in propensity score matching and using different truncated weights in inversed probability of treatment weighting.ResultsData of 887 patients were included in the study. Propensity scores ranged between 0.015 and 0.999 and 80 patients (9.9%) had a propensity score > 0.95. In the matched analyses, 35 of the 171 misdiagnosed patients died within 14 days (20.5%), versus 10 of the 171 correctly diagnosed patients (5.8%), yielding a difference of 14.6% (7.6%; 21.6%). In the total group of patients, the observed percentage of patients with an incorrect initial diagnosis that died within 14 days was 19.8% while propensity score reweighting estimated that their probability of dying would have been 6.5%, if they had been correctly diagnosed (difference 13.3% (95% CI 6.9%;19.6%)). After adjustment for all variables that showed disbalance in the propensity score a difference of 13.7% (7.4%; 19.9%) was estimated. Sensitivity analyses yielded similar results. However, performing weighted analyses without truncation yielded unstable results.ConclusionThus, we observed a substantial increase of 14 day mortality in initially misdiagnosed patients. Furthermore, several patients received propensity scores extremely close to one and were almost sure to be initially misdiagnosed.
