Human Colonic Microbiota and Short-Term Postoperative Outcomes in Colorectal Cancer Patients: A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT: Despite the advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care, the complication rates after colorectal cancer surgery have remained stable. Recently, it has been suggested that colon microbiota may be implicated in several pathways that can lead to impaired colonic homeostasis and, thereby, to the development of complications after colorectal surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential impact of colonic dysbiosis on postoperative course. This prospective human clinical study recruited patients operated on for left colon, sigmoid colon or rectal cancer. Colon mucosa and fecal samples were collected to study mucosa associated microbiota (MAM) and luminal microbiota (LM), accordingly. Preliminary analysis for the first 25 consecutive patients with V3-V4 16S rRNA metagenomic analysis was performed. Bacterial composition and abundance in patients who developed postoperative complications over a 90-day follow-up period were compared to those without postoperative complications. Abundance and distribution of genera in MAM differed significantly when compared to LM with a significant impact on neoadjuvant therapy on bacterial composition. Preliminary analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in LM nor in MAM composition when individuals with and without postoperative surgical complications were compared. In cases of postoperative complications, LM and MAM showed significantly decreased diversity. Composition of the colonic microbiota is altered by neoadjuvant therapy. Results on the impact of colonic dysbiosis on postoperative complications are pending the end of the present study, with 50 patients enrolled.

Project description:ObjectivePatients with colorectal carcinoma (CRC) with pre-existing chronic liver disease (CLD) had a significantly higher 30-day mortality after CRC surgery compared with healthy controls. This study investigated the factors associated with postoperative complications and in-hospital mortality in patients with CRC with coexisting CLD (excluding cirrhosis) who underwent colorectal surgery.DesignA retrospective, observational, population-based study.SettingData were sourced from the National Inpatient Sample database, a part of the Healthcare Cost and Utilisation Project.ParticipantsThis study analysed 7463 inpatients with CRC who underwent colorectal surgery on admission between 2005 and 2014.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe primary endpoint of this study was the prevalence of postoperative complications, and the secondary endpoint was in-hospital mortality.ResultsIn the CLD group, 36.27% of patients had chronic hepatitis C, 28.36% had non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and 31.19% had other types of CLD. The median hospital stay was 7.0 (5.0-10.0) days in patients with no postoperative complications vs 17.0 (10.0-26.0) days, 8.0 (6.0-12.0) days, 8.0 (6.0-17.0) days, 9.0 (8.0-14.0) days and 10.5 (7.0-17.0) days for patients with postoperative infection, postoperative bleeding, cardiac arrest/heart failure, respiratory complications and digestive complications, respectively (all p<0.05). The presence of CLD was significantly associated with higher risk of postoperative bleeding (adjusted OR (aOR)=1.64, 95% CI 1.15 to 2.34, p=0.007). The presence of CLD (aOR=1.98, 95% CI 1.39 to 2.82, p<0.001) and length of hospital stay (aOR=1.06, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.08, p<0.001) were significantly associated with higher risk of in-hospital mortality. However, hyperlipidaemia was associated with a significantly lower risk of mortality (aOR=0.46, 95% CI 0.28 to 0.75, p=0.002).ConclusionsPostoperative complications prolonged the length of hospital stay. The presence of CLD and hyperlipidaemia were important factors impacting postoperative complications and in-hospital mortality in patients with CRC with underlying CLD.

Project description:Background To investigate postoperative temporary consequences of the enrolled patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Patients and Methods We analyzed the clinical data of patients with lung adenocarcinoma admitted by the same surgical team of Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) from July 2019 to December 2019. Statistical methods including propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was used to analyze the differences among them. Results A total of 108 patients were enrolled, including 50 patients with sublobar resection and 58 patients with lobectomy. Before PSM, there were statistically significant differences in age (p=0.015), hospitalization costs (p=0.042), lymphadenectomy (p=0.000), pathological staging (p=0.000), number of lymph nodes removed (p=0.000), number of positive lymph nodes (p=0.034), chest drainage duration (p=0.000), total chest drainage (p=0.000), length of postoperative hospital stays (p=0.000), postoperative D-dimer level (p=0.030) and perioperative lymphocyte margin (LM) (p=0.003) between sublobar resection and lobectomy. After PSM, there were statistical differences in number of lymph nodes removed (p=0.000), chest drainage duration (p=0.031) and total chest drainage (p=0.002) between sublobar resection and lobectomy. Whether with PSM analysis or not, there were no significant differences in other blood test results, such as inflammation indicators, postoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), albumin level, perioperative activity of daily living (ADL) scale scoring margin, complications, postoperative admission to intensive care unit (ICU) and readmission within 30 days. NLR was associated with total chest drainage (p=0.000), length of postoperative hospital stays (p=0.000), postoperative D-dimer level (p=0.050) and ADL scale scoring margin (p=0.003) between sublobar resection and lobectomy. Conclusion Sublobar resection, including wedge resection and segmentectomy, was as safe and feasible as lobectomy in our study, and they shared similar short-term outcomes. Postoperative NLR could be used to detect the clinical outcomes of patients. Secondary resectability of pulmonary function (SRPF) should be the main purpose of sublobar resection.

Project description:BackgroundBased on previous studies which failed to analyze important confounding variables, the association between preoperative anemia and outcomes of patients who underwent colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery has not been clearly demonstrated. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative anemia and short-term outcomes in patients with CRC.MethodsData from a retrospective collective database of patients who underwent CRC surgery at our hospital between September 1, 2019 and September 30, 2021 were retrieved and analyzed, and the short-term postoperative outcomes of anemic (hemoglobin < 120 g dL- 1 for female, hemoglobin < 130 g dL- 1 for male) and non-anemic patients were analyzed, using a 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis.ResultsAfter excluding some cases, the remaining 1894 patients had complete data available for analysis. The incidence of preoperative anemia was 39.8% (754/1894). Before PSM, preoperative anemia patients had a higher risk of major morbidity than non-anemia patients (27.2% vs. 23.1%, odds ratio [OR] 1.245, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.008-1.538, P = 0.042). After PSM was performed in the cohort, 609 patients remained in the anemic and non-anemic groups. The incidence of major morbidity (25.8% vs. 24.0%, OR 1.102, 95% CI 0.849-1.429, P = 0.446) between anemic and non-anemic patients was comparable. No significant difference was found between the anemic and non-anemic groups in postoperative length of stay (8.0 [6.0-12.0] vs. 8.0 [7.0-11.0], P = 0.311). The sensitivity analysis results were in accordance with the primary outcome. Furthermore, we did not ascertain any discernible correlation between the extent of anemia and significant major morbidity.ConclusionsCompared with preoperative non-anemia, anemia status does not seem to be associated with major morbidity in patients with CRC surgery. It is noteworthy that, anemia is insufficient as a solitary risk factor and may be a better marker of poor health resulting from multiple factors.Trial registrationRegistration Authority: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry; Registration number and date: ChiCTR2100049696, 08/08/2021; Principal investigator: Ting Yan; Link to trial registry: http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=131698 ; .

Project description:BackgroundAnesthesiologists require an understanding of their patients' outcomes to evaluate their performance and improve their practice. Traditionally, anesthesiologists had limited information about their surgical outpatients' outcomes due to minimal contact post discharge. Leveraging digital health innovations for analyzing personal and population outcomes may improve perioperative care. BC Children's Hospital's postoperative follow-up registry for outpatient surgeries collects short-term outcomes such as pain, nausea, and vomiting. Yet, these data were previously not available to anesthesiologists.ObjectiveThis quality improvement study aimed to visualize postoperative outcome data to allow anesthesiologists to reflect on their care and compare their performance with their peers.MethodsThe postoperative follow-up registry contains nurse-reported postoperative outcomes, including opioid and antiemetic administration in the postanesthetic care unit (PACU), and family-reported outcomes, including pain, nausea, and vomiting, within 24 hours post discharge. Dashboards were iteratively co-designed with 5 anesthesiologists, and a department-wide usability survey gathered anesthesiologists' feedback on the dashboards, allowing further design improvements. A final dashboard version has been deployed, with data updated weekly.ResultsThe dashboard contains three sections: (1) 24-hour outcomes, (2) PACU outcomes, and (3) a practice profile containing individual anesthesiologist's case mix, grouped by age groups, sex, and surgical service. At the time of evaluation, the dashboard included 24-hour data from 7877 cases collected from September 2020 to February 2023 and PACU data from 8716 cases collected from April 2021 to February 2023. The co-design process and usability evaluation indicated that anesthesiologists preferred simpler designs for data summaries but also required the ability to explore details of specific outcomes and cases if needed. Anesthesiologists considered security and confidentiality to be key features of the design and most deemed the dashboard information useful and potentially beneficial for their practice.ConclusionsWe designed and deployed a dynamic, personalized dashboard for anesthesiologists to review their outpatients' short-term postoperative outcomes. This dashboard facilitates personal reflection on individual practice in the context of peer and departmental performance and, hence, the opportunity to evaluate iterative practice changes. Further work is required to establish their effect on improving individual and department performance and patient outcomes.
