RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, there is limited overlap between IBD and PSC risk genes, but a stronger association between PSC and other autoimmune conditions. We aimed to assess the coexistence and familial association of autoimmune disorders in PSC, and the influence of autoimmune comorbidity on severe outcomes. APPROACH AND RESULTS: In a matched cohort study, 1378 individuals with PSC and 13,549 general population comparators and their first-degree relatives were evaluated. National registries provided data on diagnoses and outcomes (liver transplantation, hepatobiliary cancer, and liver-related death). The OR of autoimmune disease was estimated by logistic regression. The Fine and Gray competing risk regression estimated HRs for severe outcomes. The prevalence of non-IBD, non-autoimmune hepatitis, and autoimmune disease was 18% in PSC and 11% in comparators, OR: 1.77 (95% CI: 1.53-2.05). Highest odds were seen for celiac disease [OR: 4.36 (95% CI: 2.44-7.49)], sarcoidosis [OR: 2.74 (95% CI: 1.29-5.33)], diabetes type 1 [OR: 2.91 (95% CI: 2.05-4.05)], and autoimmune skin disease [OR: 2.15 (95% CI: 1.52-2.96)]. First-degree relatives of individuals with PSC had higher odds of developing IBD, autoimmune hepatitis, and any autoimmune disease than relatives of the comparators [OR: 3.25 (95% CI: 2.68-3.91); OR: 5.94 (95% CI: 2.82-12.02); OR: 1.34 (95% CI: 1.19-1.50)]. Autoimmune comorbidity in PSC was not associated with poorer outcomes [HR: 0.96 (95% CI: 0.71-1.28)]. CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with PSC and their first-degree relatives had higher odds of autoimmune disease compared to matched comparators. This finding provides validation for prior genetic discoveries at a phenotypic level. Autoimmune comorbidity did not impact severe outcomes.

PURPOSE: Colorectal cancer (CRC) risk is associated with modifiable lifestyle factors including smoking, physical inactivity, Western diet, and excess body weight. The impact of lifestyle factors on survival is less known. A cohort study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of a healthy lifestyle and body mass index on prognosis following CRC diagnosis. METHODS: Treatment and follow-up data were collected from the patient files of 1098 participants from the Colorectal cancer low-risk study cohort including stage I-III CRC patients. A healthy lifestyle and BMI (HL) score was computed using self-reported data on smoking status, physical activity, adherence to a Mediterranean diet pattern, and BMI, and divided into four categories ranging from least to most healthy. Survival analyses were performed to assess recurrence-free survival and overall survival across categories of exposure, using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age, sex, and educational level. RESULTS: Among 1098 participants with stage I-III CRC, 233 (21.2%) had an HL score of 0-1 (least healthy), 354 (32.2%) HL score of 2, 357 (32.5%) HL score of 3 and 154 (14.0) HL score 4 (most healthy). Patients with the healthiest lifestyle (HL score 4) compared to the least healthy (HL score 0-1) had an improved recurrence-free survival (HL 4 vs HL 0-1, HRadj 0.51 (95% CI 0.31-0.83) and overall survival (HL 4 vs HL 0-1, HRadj 0.52 (95% CI 0.38-0.70). CONCLUSION: Adherence to a healthy lifestyle may increase the recurrence-free and overall survival of patients with stage I-III CRC.

AIM: Population-based data on incidence and risk factors of adhesive small bowel obstruction (SBO) are limited. The aims of this study were to assess the risk of SBO and SBO surgery after bowel resection for colorectal cancer (CRC) and to assess whether this risk is modified by minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and radiotherapy in a retrospective national study. METHODS: CRCBaSe, a nationwide register linkage originating from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Register, was used to identify Stage I-III CRC patients who underwent resection in 2007-2016, with follow-up throughout 2017. Matched CRC-free comparators (1:6) were included as a reference of SBO and SBO surgery incidence. The association between MIS and preoperative radiotherapy and the incidence rate of SBO was evaluated in adjusted multivariable Cox regression models. RESULTS: Among 33 632 CRC patients and 198 649 comparators, the 5-year cumulative incidence of SBO and SBO surgery was 7.6% and 2.2% among patients and 0.6% and 0.2% among comparators, with death as a competing risk. In all patients, MIS was associated with a reduced incidence of SBO (hazard ratio [HR] 0.7, 95% CI 0.6-0.8) and SBO surgery (HR 0.5, 95% CI 0.3-0.7). In rectal cancer patients, radiotherapy was associated with an increased incidence of SBO (HR 1.6, 95% CI 1.4-1.8) and SBO surgery (HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.3-2.3). DISCUSSION: Colorectal cancer surgery is associated with a marked increase in risk of SBO, compared with the general population. The incidence is further increased if open surgery or radiotherapy is performed.

AIM: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Sweden is increasing in individuals <50 years. This study aimed to examine differences in postoperative 30-day complications and rate of emergency surgeries in CRC patients <50 years at diagnosis compared to older age groups since population-based research on this topic is scarce. METHOD: This population-based study included data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry for patients undergoing CRC resection between 2010 and 2018. Bivariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyse the relationship between age groups (<50, 50-79 and ≥80 years) and probability of postoperative 30-day complications adjusted for gender, tumour localization, neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy and American Society of Anesthesiologists score. RESULTS: In total 33 320 patients were included. Patients <50 years had a lower American Society of Anesthesiologists score, more advanced tumours and received more neoadjuvant treatment. Emergency surgeries were less common in the youngest age group (P < 0.001) as well as overall postoperative 30-day complications: ORadj 0.84 (95% CI 0.74-0.96) compared to those ≥80 years. Surgical complications were more common in age groups <50 and 50-79 years (16.5% and 16.9% respectively) compared to patients ≥80 years (14.1%) (P < 0.001). Anastomotic leakage and intra-abdominal infections were more frequent in patients <50 years (5.7% and 3.5% respectively) compared to age groups 50-79 years (5.1% and 2.8% respectively) and ≥80 years (3.5% and 2.1% respectively) (P < 0.001). Wound infections were more common in the two youngest age groups compared to patients ≥80 years (5.3% vs. 3.7% respectively) (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Colorectal cancer patients <50 years and 50-79 years had a higher proportion of surgical complications regarding anastomotic leakage, intra-abdominal infections and wound infections but lower overall postoperative complications. The incidence of surgical emergencies was highest amongst patients ≥80 years. Postoperative diagnostic workup in symptomatic individuals <50 years is warranted.

The aim was to investigate gender differences in the likelihood to receive metastatic surgery, and to compare overall survival between men and women, among patients with synchronous metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in a population-based setting. All Swedish adult patients diagnosed with synchronous mCRC in 2007-2016 were identified using the nationwide colorectal cancer database (CRCBaSe). Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using logistic regression, comparing the odds of receiving treatment. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival proportions and Cox regression models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs of all-cause mortality rates. All multivariable models were adjusted for age, ASA score, Charlson comorbidity index, year of diagnosis, location of primary tumor and single or multiple metastatic locations. A total of 12 201 patients met the study criteria. Women received 23% less metastatic surgery for mCRC (adjusted OR = 0.77, CI:0.69-0.86) and experienced a slightly higher mortality following diagnosis (adjusted HR = 1.09, CI:1.05-1.14). In analyses restricted to patients who received metastatic surgery, no significant differences in mortality were found. In conclusion, this population-based study showed that women less often received metastatic surgery of mCRC and experienced slightly higher all-cause mortality compared with men. The differences persisted despite adjustments of patient and cancer characteristics. Gender differences in receiving treatment are unacceptable if the underlying explanation cannot be motivated. Further studies are needed to understand if the differences are based on sex (i.e., biology) or gender (including clinically unmotivated differences in treatment approach).

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate transanal irrigation (TAI) as a treatment for low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). BACKGROUND: LARS is a bowel disorder that is common after sphincter preserving rectal cancer surgery. Despite symptomatic medical treatment of LARS many patients still experience bowel symptoms that may have a negative impact on quality of life (QoL). TAI is a treatment strategy, of which the clinical experience is promising but scientific evidence is limited. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A multicenter randomized trial comparing TAI (intervention) with conservative treatment (control) was performed. Inclusion criteria were major LARS, age above 18 years, low anterior resection with anastomosis and a defunctioning stoma as primary surgery, >6 months since stoma reversal, anastomosis without signs of leakage or stricture, and no signs of recurrence at 1-year follow-up. The primary endpoint was differences in bowel function at 12-month follow-up measured by LARS score, Cleveland Clinic Florida Fecal Incontinence Score, and 4 study-specific questions. The secondary outcome was QoL. RESULTS: A total of 45 patients were included, 22 in the TAI group and 23 in the control group. Follow-up was available for 16 and 22 patients, respectively. At 12 months, patients in the TAI group reported significantly lower LARS scores (22.9 vs 32.4; P =0.002) and Cleveland Clinic Florida Fecal Incontinence Score (6.4 vs 9.2; P =0.050). In addition, patients in the TAI group also scored significantly higher QoL [8 of 16 European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) QoL aspects] compared with the control group. CONCLUSIONS: The results confirm our clinical experience that TAI reduces symptoms included in LARS and improves QoL.

OBJECTIVES: To facilitate high-quality register-based research on colorectal cancer (CRC) in Sweden by constructing a database consisting of CRC patients, matched comparators, and relatives. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients with adenocarcinoma in the colon and/or rectum were identified in the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Register, a nationwide quality-of-care register. For each patient, six comparators from the general population were matched on birth year, sex, year of CRC diagnosis, and county. Comparators were free from CRC at the time of matching, but could later become cases. For both patients and comparators, first-degree relatives (parents, siblings, and children) were identified. Information from nationwide population-based registers was retrieved and linked to each individual in the database using the personal identification number unique to all Swedish residents. RESULTS: A total of 76,831 CRC patients diagnosed between 1995 and 2016 were identified (51% colon, 49% rectal; before 2007 only rectal cancer patients were included). Among all patients, 37% were stage I-II, 22% stage III, and 22% stage IV. The median follow-up time was 11.9 years (inter-quartile range, IQR: 8.6-15.3). Together with comparators and relatives, the database contains 2,413,139 individuals with information on demographics, dates and causes of death, in- and outpatient healthcare records, cancer diagnoses, prescribed and dispensed drugs, childbirths (among women), and social security information (such as sick leave and early retirement). CONCLUSION: The Colorectal Cancer Database Sweden (CRCBaSe) is a large and unique register-based data research platform, which opens up for clinically important, large epidemiological studies with innovative design in the field of colorectal adenocarcinoma.

PURPOSE: About 10 to 15% of patients with sporadic colorectal cancer display mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes shown as microsatellite instability (MSI). Previous reports of colorectal cancer (CRC) indicate a better prognosis for patients with MSI tumors compared to patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors. In this study, our aim was to investigate whether MSI is an independent prognostic factor in CRC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer and subject to curative surgery during 2002-2006 in the Swedish low-risk colorectal cancer study group cohort were eligible for inclusion. Deficient MMR (dMMR) status was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and/or by MSI testing with polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Prognostic follow-up and treatment data were retrieved from patient records. Statistical analyses to assess MSI-status and prognosis were done using logistic regression and survival analyses using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression hazards models adjusted for age, sex, stage, comorbidity, and tumor location. RESULTS: In total, 463 patients were included, MSI high tumors were present in 66 patients (14%), and the remaining 397 were MSS/MSI low. Within 6 years, distant recurrences were present in 9.1% and 20.2% (P = 0.049), and death occurred in 25.8% and 31.5% in MSI and MSS patients, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in overall mortality (HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.46-1.38), relapse-free survival (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.50-1.36), or cancer-specific mortality (HR 1.60, 95% CI 0.73-3.51). CONCLUSION: Despite distant metastases being less common in patients with MSI, there was no association between MSI and overall, relapse-free, or cancer-specific survival.

BACKGROUND: Colorectal anastomotic leakage is consistently more common in men, regardless of tumour location. This fact is largely unexplained but might be a consequence of biological differences including hormonal exposure and not only related to anatomy. METHODS: This was a retrospective, nationwide registry-based observational study of post-menopausal women operated for colorectal cancer with an anastomosis between 2007 and 2016. Hormonal exposure before surgery, as defined by prescribed drugs affecting oestrogen levels, was related to postoperative anastomotic leakage, using mixed-effects logistic regression models with adjustment for confounding. Odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were derived. In addition, separate estimates according to tumour location were computed, and a sensitivity analysis excluding topical oestrogen hormone exposure was conducted. RESULTS: Some 16,535 post-menopausal women were included, of which 16.2% were exposed to drugs increasing oestrogen levels before surgery. In this exposed group compared to the unexposed, leak rates were 3.1 and 3.8%, respectively. After adjustment, a reduction of anastomotic leakage in the exposed group was detected (OR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.59-0.99). This finding was largely attributed to the rectal cancer subgroup (OR: 0.55; 95% CI: 0.36-0.85), while the exclusion of topical oestrogen drugs further reduced the estimates of the main analysis (OR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.38-1.02). CONCLUSIONS: Anastomotic leakage rates are lower in women exposed to hormone replacement therapy before surgery for colorectal cancer, which might explain some of the difference in leak rates between men and women, especially regarding rectal cancer.

BACKGROUND: There are no prospective trials comparing the two main reconstructive options after colectomy for Ulcerative colitis, ileal pouch anal anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis. An attempt on a randomized controlled trial has been made but after receiving standardized information patients insisted on choosing operation themselves. METHODS: Adult Ulcerative colitis patients subjected to colectomy eligible for both ileal pouch anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis are asked to participate and after receiving standardized information the get to choose reconstructive method. Patients declining reconstruction or not considered eligible for both methods will be followed as controls. The CRUISE study is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, open-label, controlled trial on satisfaction, QoL, function, and complications between ileal pouch anal anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis. DISCUSSION: Reconstruction after colectomy is a morbidity-associated as well as a resource-intensive activity with the sole purpose of enhancing function, QoL and patient satisfaction. The aim of this study is to provide the best possible information on the risks and benefits of each reconstructive treatment. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05628701.

BACKGROUND: Only a limited proportion of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) receives metastatic surgery (including local ablative therapy). The aim was to investigate whether hospital volume and hospital level were associated with the chance of metastatic surgery. METHODS: This national cohort retrieved from the CRCBaSe linkage included all Swedish adult patients diagnosed with synchronous mCRC in 2009-2016. The association between annual hospital volume of incident mCRC patients and the chance of metastatic surgery, and survival, were assessed using logistic regression and Cox regression models, respectively. Hospital level (university/non-university) was evaluated as a secondary exposure in a similar manner. Both uni- and multivariable (adjusted for sex, age, Charlson comorbidity index, year of diagnosis, cancer characteristics and socioeconomic factors) models were fitted. RESULTS: A total of 1,674 (17%) out of 9,968 mCRC patients had metastatic surgery. High hospital volume was not associated with increased odds of metastatic surgery after including hospital level in the model, whereas hospital level was (odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI)): 1.94 (1.68-2.24)). All-cause mortality was lower in university versus non-university hospitals (hazard ratio (95% CI): 0.83 (0.78-0.88)). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with mCRC initially cared for by a university hospital experienced a greater chance to receive metastatic surgery and had superior overall survival. High hospital volume in itself was not associated with a greater chance to receive metastatic surgery nor a greater survival probability. Additional efforts should be imposed to provide more equal care for mCRC patients across Swedish hospitals.

AIM: The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced the capacity to diagnose and treat cancer worldwide due to the prioritization of COVID-19 treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate treatment and outcomes of colon cancer in Sweden before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: In an observational study, using the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry, we included (i) all Swedish patients diagnosed with colon cancer, and (ii) all patients undergoing surgery for colon cancer, in 2016-2020. Incidence of colon cancer, treatments and outcomes in 2020 were compared with 2019. RESULTS: The number of colon cancer cases in Sweden in April-May 2020 was 27% lower than the previous year, whereas no difference was observed on an annual level (4,589 vs. 4,763 patients [-4%]). Among patients with colon cancer undergoing surgery in 2020, the proportion of resections was 93 vs. 94% in 2019, with no increase in acute resections. Time from diagnosis to elective surgery decreased (29 days vs. 33 days in 2020 vs. 2019). In 2020, more patients underwent a two-stage procedure with a diverting stoma as first surgery (6.1%) vs. (4.4%) in 2019 (p = 0.0020) and more patients were treated with preoperative chemotherapy (5.1%) vs. (3,5%) 2019 (p = 0.0016). The proportion of patients that underwent laparoscopic surgery increased from 54% to 58% (p = 0.0017) There were no differences in length of stay, surgical complications, reoperation, ICU-stay or 30-day mortality between the years. CONCLUSION: Based on nationwide annual data, we did not observe adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on colon cancer treatment and short time outcomes in Sweden.

BACKGROUND: To avoid a permanent stoma, restorative surgery is performed after the colectomy. Previous studies have shown that less than half of patients with ulcerative colitis undergo restorative surgery. OBJECTIVE: The primary aim was to explore the association between socioeconomic status and restorative surgery after colectomy. DESIGN: This was a nationwide register-based cohort study. SETTINGS: The study was conducted in Sweden. PATIENTS: All Swedish patients with ulcerative colitis who underwent colectomy between 1990 and 2017 at the age of 15 to 69 years were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcome was restorative surgery, and the secondary outcome was failure of the reconstruction (defined as the need for a new ileostomy after the reconstruction or nonreversal of a defunctioning stoma within 2 years of the reconstruction). To calculate HRs for restorative surgery after colectomy, as well as failure after restorative surgery, multivariable Cox regression models were performed (adjusted for sex, year of colectomy, colorectal cancer diagnosis, education, civil status, country of birth, income (quartiles 1 to 4, where Q4 represents highest income), hospital volume, and stratified by age). RESULTS: In all, 5969 patients with ulcerative colitis underwent colectomy, and of those, 2794 (46.8%) underwent restorative surgery. Restorative surgery was more common in patients with a high income at the time of colectomy (quartile 1, reference; quartile 2, 1.09 (0.98-1.21); quartile 3, 1.20 (1.07-1.34); quartile 4, 1.27 (1.13-1.43)) and less common in those born in a Nordic country than in immigrants born in a non-Nordic country (0.86 (0.74-0.99)), whereas no association was seen with educational level and civil status. There was no association between socioeconomic status and the risk of failure after restorative surgery. LIMITATIONS: The study was restricted to register data. CONCLUSIONS: Restorative surgery in ulcerative colitis appears to be more common in patients with a high income and patients born in a non-Nordic country, indicating inequality in the provided care.

LA CIRUGA RESTAURADORA ES MS COMN EN PACIENTES CON COLITIS ULCEROSA CON INGRESOS ALTOS UN ESTUDIO POBLACIONAL: ANTECEDENTES:Para evitar un estoma permanente, se realiza una cirugía reparadora después de la colectomía. Estudios anteriores han demostrado que menos de la mitad de los pacientes con colitis ulcerosa se someten a cirugía reconstituyente.OBJETIVO:El objetivo principal fue explorar la asociación entre el nivel socioeconómico y la cirugía reconstituyente después de la colectomía.DISEÑO:Estudio de cohorte basado en registros a nivel nacional.MARCO:Suecia.PACIENTES:Todos los pacientes Suecos con colitis ulcerosa que se sometieron a colectomía desde el 1990 a 2017 a la edad de 15 a 69 años.MEDIDAS DE RESULTADOS PRINCIPALES:El resultado principal fue la cirugía restaurativa y el resultado secundario fue el fracaso de la reconstrucción (definida como la necesidad de una nueva ileostomía después de la reconstrucción o la no-reversión de un estoma disfuncional dentro de los dos años posteriores a la reconstrucción). Para calcular los cocientes de riesgo para la cirugía restauradora después de la colectomía, así como el fracaso después de la cirugía restauradora, se realizaron modelos de regresión de Cox multivariables (ajustados por sexo, año de colectomía, diagnóstico de cáncer colorrectal, educación, estado civil, país de nacimiento e ingresos (cuartiles 1- 4; donde Q4 representa los mayores ingresos), volumen de hospitales y estratificado por edad).RESULTADOS:En total 5969 pacientes con colitis ulcerosa se sometieron a colectomía, y de ellos 2794 (46,8%) se sometieron a cirugía restauradora. La cirugía restauradora fue más común en pacientes con altos ingresos en el momento de la colectomía (referencia del cuartil 1, cuartil 2: 1,09 (0,98-1,21), cuartil 3: 1,20 (1,07-1,34), cuartil 4: 1,27 (1,13-1,43)), y menos común en los nacidos en un país nórdico que en los inmigrantes nacidos en un país no-nórdico (0,86 (0,74-0,99)), mientras que no se observó asociación con el nivel educativo y el estado civil. No hubo asociación entre el nivel socioeconómico y el riesgo de fracaso después de la cirugía reparadora.LIMITACIONES:Restricción para registrar datos.CONCLUSIONES:La cirugía reparadora en colitis ulcerosa parece ser más común en pacientes con ingresos altos y en pacientes nacidos en un país no-nórdico, lo que indica desigualdad en la atención brindada.

BACKGROUND: Central obesity is associated with surgical difficulties, but few studies explore the relationship with long-term results after colon cancer surgery. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between perirenal fat surface area, a proxy for total visceral fat, and oncologic outcome after intestinal resection for colon cancer. DESIGN: We investigated the association between perirenal fat surface area (exposure) on recurrence and death (outcome) in patients undergoing surgery with curative intent for colon cancer. SETTINGS: The study was conducted at Stockholm South General Hospital, serving a population of 600,000. PATIENTS: Patients (N = 733) without metastases at diagnosis who had a preoperative CT and had undergone elective colon resection between 2006 and 2016 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We compared overall survival, recurrence-free survival, and cause-specific survival by perirenal fat surface area. RESULTS: Patients with high perirenal fat surface area (fourth quartile) had more often left-sided tumors (45% vs 32% in the first quartile) and experienced more postoperative complications (29% vs 13%), but there were no differences in pathologic T and N stage, radicality of surgery, or adjuvant chemotherapy treatment. Overall survival decreased by increasing cancer stage but was not different between perirenal fat surface area categories. The HR for recurrence-free survival per centimeter squared increase in perirenal fat surface area was 1.00 (95% CI, 0.99-1.01) adjusted for age, sex, ASA category, tumor location, and postoperative complication Clavien-Dindo ≥2. The cumulative incidence of recurrence with death as a competing risk was not statistically different between perirenal fat surface area categories (p = 0.06). Subgroup analyses showed a nonsignificant tendency for men with low perirenal fat surface area to have a lower risk of recurrence and women a higher risk. LIMITATIONS: In all register-based studies there can be randomly distributed errors. The results can only be generalized to colon resections. Our cohort ranged over a large year span. CONCLUSIONS: We found no association between perirenal fat surface area and overall survival, recurrence-free survival, or cause-specific cumulative incidence of recurrence in patients undergoing colon resection for cancer.

LA SUPERFICIE DE GRASA PERIRRENAL Y EL RESULTADO ONCOLGICO EN CIRUGA ELECTIVA DE CNCER DE COLON: ANTECEDENTES:La obesidad central está asociada con dificultades quirúrgicas, pero pocos estudios exploran la relación de los resultados a largo plazo después de cirugía de cáncer de colon.OBJETIVO:Investigar la asociación entre la superficie de la grasa perirrenal, como un indicador de la grasa visceral total y el resultado oncológico después de una resección intestinal por cáncer de colon.DISEÑO:Se estudió la asociación entre el área de la superficie de la grasa perirrenal (expuesta) con la recurrencia y la muerte (resultado) de pacientes sometidos a cirugía con intención curativa por cáncer de colon.AJUSTES:Atención brindada por el Hospital General del Sur de Estocolmo a una población de 600,000 habitantes.PACIENTES:Aquellos pacientes sin metástasis (n = 733) en el momento del diagnóstico que tuvieron una tomografía computada preoperatoria y que se sometieron a una resección electiva de colon entre 2006-2016.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Comparamos la sobrevida general, la sobrevida libre de recurrencia y la sobrevida específica de la causa, por área de superficie de grasa perirrenal.RESULTADOS:Los pacientes con una mayor área de superficie de grasa perirrenal (cuarto cuartil) tuvieron más frecuentemente tumores del lado izquierdo (45% frente a 32% en el primer cuartil) y sufrieron más complicaciones postoperatorias (29% frente a 13%), pero no hubieron diferencias en el Estadío patológico T y N, ni en lo radical de la cirugía o del tratamiento de quimioterapia adyuvante. La supervivencia general disminuyó al aumentar el estadio del cáncer, pero no fue diferente entre las categorías de área de superficie grasa perirrenal. La razón de riesgo para la sobrevida libre de recurrencia por aumento de cm2 en el área de la superficie grasa perirrenal fue de 1.00 (intervalo de confianza del 95%: 0.99-1.01) ajustada por edad, sexo, categoría de la Sociedad Americana de Anestesiólogos, ubicación del tumor y complicación postoperatoria según Clavien-Dindo ≥ 2) La incidencia acumulada de recurrencia con muerte como un riesgo competitivo no fue estadísticamente diferente entre las categorías de área de superficie grasa perirrenal (p = 0.06). Los análisis de subgrupos mostraron una tendencia no significativa para que los hombres con un área de superficie menor en grasa perirrenal tengan un menor riesgo de recurrencia y las mujeres un mayor riesgo.LIMITACIONES:En todos los estudios basados en registros puede haber errores distribuidos aleatoriamente. Los resultados solo pueden generalizarse a resecciones de colon. Nuestra cohorte osciló durante un gran lapso de años.CONCLUSIONES:No se encontró asociación entre el área de superficie de la grasa perirrenal y la sobrevida general, ni con la sobrevida libre de recurrencia o la incidencia acumulada de recurrencia específica de la causa en pacientes sometidos a resección de colon por cáncer.

AIM: Approximately 25% of anal cancer patients undergo abdominoperineal excision or more extensive surgery. Following surgery, a high perineal complication rate has been reported. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is an evidence-based multimodal interventional programme introduced to mitigate the risk of complications. This study aims to describe perineal healing in relation to ERAS compliance, type of resection and method of perineal reconstruction in patients with anal cancer after salvage surgery. METHOD: This is a retrospective cohort study including all patients undergoing abdominal surgery for squamous cell anal cancer in Stockholm between January 2005 and December 2015. Data collection was from registers supplemented by chart review. All patients were followed until death or 1 year after surgery. The associations between ERAS compliance, patient and treatment characteristics and perineal wound healing were evaluated using logistic regression. RESULTS: In total, 101 patients (67 women) were included, of whom 72 were ERAS compliant. Of patients alive, healing after surgery occurred in 61/98 and 84/89 at 3 months and 1 year, respectively. Perineal healing at 3 months was statistically significantly associated with younger age and type of perineal reconstruction (in favour of vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap). No associations were observed at 1 year but almost all wounds were healed. CONCLUSION: Age and type of perineal reconstruction appear to be significantly associated with improved healing at 3 months whereas compliance to an ERAS protocol and type of resection do not. Nearly all patients had a fully healed perineal wound 1 year after surgery for anal cancer.

AIM: The aim was to assess long-term prognosis after emergency resection versus primary diverting stoma followed by elective tumour resection. METHOD: A national-register-based cohort study with retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed. All Swedish patients with non-metastatic obstructive locally advanced colon cancer treated with emergency resection or diverting stoma, followed by an elective resection, between 2007 and 2017 were included. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model were used to compare all-cause mortality between patients with emergency resection and elective right- and left-sided resection. The multivariable model was adjusted for year of diagnosis, age at diagnosis, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, tumour location and pN stage. RESULTS: In all, 751 patients with a tumour in the right colon and 700 patients with a tumour in the left colon were included. Emergency resection was more common in patients with right-sided colon tumours (681/751) than in patients with left-sided colon tumours (483/700). The 5-year overall survival in patients with right-sided tumours was 25% after emergency resection and 46% after diverting stoma followed by elective resection (log-rank test P = 0.001). The corresponding numbers for patients with left-sided colon tumours were 40% and 64% (P < 0.001). Emergency resection was independently associated with increased all-cause mortality in patients with left-sided tumour (hazard ratio 1.63, 95% CI 1.21-2.19) but not in patients with right-sided tumour (hazard ratio 1.21, 95% CI 0.80-1.81). CONCLUSION: Diverting stoma followed by elective resection is associated with improved survival compared with emergency resection in patients with left-sided colonic obstruction due to locally advanced tumours.

Introduction: Whether data on International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-codes from the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR) correctly correspond to subtypes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and phenotypes of the Montreal classification scheme among patients with prevalent disease is unknown.Materials and methods: We obtained information on IBD subtypes and phenotypes from the medical records of 1403 patients with known IBD who underwent biological treatment at ten Swedish hospitals and retrieved information on their IBD-associated diagnostic codes from the NPR. We used previously described algorithms to define IBD subtypes and phenotypes. Finally, we compared these register-generated subtypes and phenotypes with the corresponding information from the medical records and calculated positive predictive values (PPV) with 95% confidence intervals.Results: Among patients with clinically confirmed disease and diagnostic listings of IBD in the NPR (N = 1401), the PPV was 97 (96-99)% for Crohn's disease, 98 (97-100)% for ulcerative colitis, and 8 (4-11)% for IBD-unclassified. The overall accuracy for age at diagnosis was 95% (when defined as A1, A2, or A3). Examining the validity of codes representing disease phenotype, the PPV was 36 (32-40)% for colonic Crohn's disease (L2), 61 (56-65)% for non-stricturing/non-penetrating Crohn's disease behaviour (B1) and 83 (78-87)% for perianal disease. Correspondingly, the PPV was 80 (71-89)% for proctitis (E1)/left-sided colitis (E2) in ulcerative colitis.Conclusions: Among people with known IBD, the NPR is a reliable source of data to classify most subtypes of prevalent IBD, even though misclassification commonly occurred in Crohn's disease location and behaviour and also among IBD-unclassified patients.

INTRODUCTION: To minimize recurrence risk in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), TSH is usually lifelong suppressed with levothyroxine. A common consequence of this treatment is subclinical hyperthyroidism which can induce cardiovascular disease (CV). This study's aim was to compare CV incidence in DTC patients with the general population in Sweden. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All Swedish patients diagnosed with DTC in 1987-2013 were included in the cohort study. Lifelong TSH suppression treatment was assumed to be administered to patients in compliance with prevalent national guidelines. Patients were followed from 1 year after DTC diagnosis until December 31, 2014, death, or migration. The event of interest was hospitalization due to any of the following diseases: atrial fibrillation (AF), cerebrovascular disease, cerebral infarction, ischemic heart disease, ischemic heart attack, and heart failure. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated to compare CV incidence between DTC patients and the general population. RESULTS: The cohort consisted of 6900 patients with DTC. Hospitalization was increased among DTC patients for AF (SIR 1.66, CI 95% 1.41-1.94), and women faced increased hospitalization for cerebrovascular disease (SIR 1.20 CI 95% 1.04-1.38). Regarding the remaining CV diseases, no consistent difference in SIR between the groups was observed. CONCLUSION: Compared to the general population, DTC patients have a higher incidence in AF, and female face a slightly higher incidence in cerebrovascular disease. However, there was no difference in hospitalization for other studied CV diseases between DTC patients and the general population.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Diagnosis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is increasing among elderly persons (60 years or older). We performed a nationwide population-based study to estimate incidence and treatment of IBD. METHODS: We identified all incident IBD cases in Sweden from 2006 through 2013 using national registers and up to 10 matched population comparator subjects. We collected data on the patients' health care contacts and estimated incidence rates, health service burden, pharmacologic treatments, extra-intestinal manifestations, and surgeries in relation to age of IBD onset (pediatric, <18 years; adults, 18-59 years; elderly, ≥60 years). RESULTS: Of 27,834 persons diagnosed with incident IBD, 6443 (23%) had a first diagnosis of IBD at 60 years or older, corresponding to an incidence rate of 35/100,000 person-years (10/100,000 person-years for Crohn's disease, 19/100,000 person-years for ulcerative colitis, and 5/100,000 person-years for IBD unclassified). During a median follow-up period of 4.2 years (range, 0-9 years), elderly patients had less IBD-specific outpatient health care but more IBD-related hospitalizations and overall health care use than adult patients with IBD. Compared with patients with pediatric or adult-onset IBD, elderly patients used fewer biologics and immunomodulators but more systemic corticosteroids. Occurrence of extra-intestinal manifestations was similar in elderly and adult patients, but bowel surgery was more common in the elderly (13% after 5 years vs 10% in adults) (P < .001). The absolute risk of bowel surgery was higher in the elderly than in the general population, but in relative terms, the risk increase was larger in younger age groups. CONCLUSIONS: In a nationwide cohort study in Sweden, we associated diagnosis of IBD at age 60 years or older with a lower use of biologics and immunomodulators but higher absolute risk of bowel surgery, compared with diagnosis at a younger age. The large differences in pharmacologic treatment of adults and elderly patients are not necessarily because of a milder course of disease and warrant further investigation.

BACKGROUND: Despite low anterior resection syndrome being a well-known consequence of sphincter-preserving rectal cancer surgery, the long-term effect on bowel function and quality of life is not fully understood. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to elucidate whether symptoms of low anterior resection syndrome change over time and if the correlation to quality of life is equivalent when measured at 2 time points. DESIGN: This prospective cohort study included measurements at 2 time points (5 years between; range, 7.1-16.1 years from surgery to second follow-up). SETTINGS: This multicenter study included patients from Sweden and Denmark. PATIENTS: Patients were included if they were ≥18 years of age and underwent curative rectal cancer surgery with either total or partial mesorectal excision. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Outcomes were measured with the low anterior resection syndrome questionnaire including a question assessing the impact of bowel function on quality of life and with the validated quality-of-life questionnaire EORTC QLQ-C30. RESULTS: In total, 282 patients were included and there were no statistically significant differences in the distribution among the 3 groups (no, minor, and major low anterior resection syndrome) when comparing time points follow-up 1 with follow-up 2 (p = 0.455). At follow-up 2, 138 patients (49%) still experienced major impairment. No both statistically and clinically significant differences were seen in the mean score of EORTC QLQ-C30 when comparing the same low anterior resection syndrome group at follow-up 1 and follow-up 2, and the impact on quality of life was comparable. Global health status/quality of life was impaired in the major low anterior resection syndrome group at both follow-up 1 (p < 0.001) and follow-up 2 (p < 0.001). LIMITATIONS: The study design prevents an evaluation of causality. CONCLUSIONS: Difficulties with low anterior resection syndrome and the impact on patients' quality of life persist over time.
