简介:AbstractBackground:A surgical site infection (SSI) is a major post-operative complication from elective colorectal surgery; however, few studies have focused on evaluating the risk factors for SSI. This study aimed to analyze the relative correlation of medical and environmental factors as well as patient-related factors that contribute to the incidence of all types of SSI.Methods:A retrospective search for eligible patients was conducted using the patient database of the Gastrointestinal Surgery Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2011 to August 2017. Pre-operative demographic and surgical data were extracted and recoded according to the study protocol. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to clarify factors affecting the incidence of SSI. Propensity analysis was conducted to minimize bias in the demographic characteristics to explore the prophylactic effect of pre-operative administration of oral antibiotics.Results:Univariate analysis of the baseline characteristics revealed that younger age (odds ratio [OR]: 0.378; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.218–0.657) and pre-operative oral antibiotic use (OR: 0.465; 95% CI: 0.255–0.850) were protective factors, while pre-operative anemia (OR: 4.591; 95% CI: 2.567–8.211), neoadjuvant chemotherapy history (OR: 2.398; 95% CI: 1.094–5.256), and longer surgical duration (OR: 2.393; 95% CI: 1.349–4.246; P = 0.002) were identified as risk factors for SSI. Multivariate analysis indicated that age (P = 0.003), surgical duration (P = 0.001), and pre-operative oral antibiotic use (P < 0.001) were independent factors that affect the incidence of SSI. Furthermore, a propensity-matched analysis confirmed the protective effect of oral antibiotic use, with a 1-day course of oral antibiotic producing a similar effect to a 3-day course.Conclusions:Age, surgical duration, and pre-operative oral antibiotic use were associated with the incidence of SSI. However, pre-operative oral antibiotic use was the only controllable factor. From the results of our study, pre-operative oral antibiotic use is recommended before elective colorectal surgery and a 1-day course is enough to provide the protective effect.
简介:AbstractBackground:About 10% of patients get a surgical-site infection (SSI) after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, but SSI remains controversial among surgeons. The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors for SSIs after radical gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer to guide clinical therapies and reduce the incidence of SSI.Methods:The study was a retrospective cohort study in patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. SSI was defined in accordance with the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System. We evaluated patient-related and peri-operative variables that could be risk factors for SSIs. The Chi-squared test and logistic regression analysis were used to assess the association between these risk factors and SSI.Results:Among the 590 patients, 386 were men and 204 were women. The mean age was 56.6 (28-82) years and 14.2% (84/590) of these patients had an SSI. Among them, incisional SSI was observed in 23 patients (3.9%) and organ/space SSI in 61 patients (10.3%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified sex (odds ratios [ORs] = 2.548, and 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.268-5.122, P = 0.009), total gastrectomy (OR = 2.327, 95% CI: 1.352-4.004, P = 0.002), albumin level (day 3 after surgery) <30 g/L (OR= 1.868, 95% CI: 1.066-3.274, P = 0.029), and post-operative total parenteral nutrition (OR = 2.318, 95% CI: 1.026-5.237, P = 0.043) as independent risk factors for SSI.Conclusions:SSI was common among patients after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The method supporting post-operative nutrition and the duration of prophylactic antibiotics may be important modifiable influencing factors for SSI.
简介:AbstractPurpose:To introduced our experience with progressive extra-axial hematoma (EAH) in the original frontotemporoparietal (FTP) site after contralateral decompressive surgery (CDS) in traumatic brain injury patients and discuss the risk factors associated with this dangerous situation.Methods:This retrospective study was conducted on 941 patients with moderate or severe TBI treated in Daping Hospital, Army Medical University, Chongqing, China in a period over 5 years (2013-2017). Only patients with bilateral lesion, the contralateral side being the dominant lesion, and decompressive surgery on the contralateral side conducted firstly were included. Patients were exclude if (1) they underwent bilateral decompression or neurosurgery at the original location firstly; (2) although surgery was performed first on the contralateral side, surgery was done again at the contralateral side due to rebleeding or complications; (3) patients younger than 18 years or older than 80 years; and (4) patients with other significant organ injury or severe disorder or those with abnormal coagulation profiles. Clinical and radiographic variables reviewed were demographic data, trauma mechanisms, neurological condition assessed by Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score at admission, pupil size and reactivity, use of mannitol, time interval from trauma to surgery, Rotterdam CT classification, type and volume of EAH, presence of a skull fracture overlying the EAH, status of basal cistern, size of midline shift, associated brain lesions and types, etc. Patients were followed-up for at least 6 months and the outcome was graded by Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score as favorable (scores of 4-5) and unfavorable (scores of 1-3). Student's t-test was adopted for quantitative variables while Pearson Chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was also applied to estimate the significance of risk factors.Results:Initially 186 patients (19.8%) with original impact locations at the FTP site and underwent surgery were selected. Among them, 66 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. But only 50 patients were included because the data of the other 16 patients were incomplete. Progressive EAH developed at the original FTP site in 11 patients after the treatment of, with an incidence of 22%. Therefore the other 39 patients were classified as the control group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that both the volume of the original hematoma and the absence of an apparent midline shift were significant predictors of hematoma progression after decompressive surgery. Patients with fracture at the original impact site had a higher incidence of progressive EAH after CDS, however this factor was not an important predictor in the multivariate model. We also found that patients with progressive EAH had a similar favorable outcome with control group.Conclusion:Progressive EAH is correlated with several variables, such as hematoma volumes ≥10 mL at the original impact location and the absence of an apparent midline shift (<5 mm). Although progressive EAH is devastating, timely diagnosis with computed tomography scans and immediate evacuation of the progressive hematoma can yield a favorable result.
