RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To establish globally applicable benchmark outcomes for pelvic exenteration (PE) in patients with locally advanced primary (LARC) and recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC), using outcomes achieved at highly specialised centres. BACKGROUND DATA: PE is established as the standard of care for selected patients with LARC and LRRC. There are currently no available benchmarks against which surgical performance in PE can be compared for audit and quality improvement. METHODS: This international multicentre retrospective cohort study included patients undergoing PE for LARC or LRRC at 16 highly experienced centres between 2018 and 2023. Ten outcome benchmarks were established in a lower-risk subgroup. Benchmarks were defined by the 75th percentile of the results achieved at the individual centres. RESULTS: 763 patients underwent PE, of which 464 patients (61%) had LARC and 299 (39%) had LRRC. 544 patients (71%) who met predefined lower risk criteria formed the benchmark cohort. For LARC patients, the calculated benchmark threshold for major complication rate was ≤44%; comprehensive complication index (CCI): ≤30.2; 30-day mortality rate: 0%; 90-day mortality rate: ≤4.3%; R0 resection rate: ≥79%. For LRRC patients, the calculated benchmark threshold for major complication rate was ≤53%; CCI: ≤34.1; 30-day mortality rate: 0%; 90-day mortality rate: ≤6%; R0 resection rate: ≥77%. CONCLUSIONS: The reported benchmarks for PE in patients with LARC and LRRC represent the best available care for this patient group globally and can be used for rigorous assessment of surgical quality and to facilitate quality improvement initiatives at international exenteration centres.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Most patients with rectal cancer experience bowel symptoms post-restorative proctectomy. The incidence of mental health disorders post-restorative proctectomy and its association with bowel symptoms are unknown. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed 1) to describe the incidence of mental health disorders in patients who underwent restorative proctectomy for rectal cancer and 2) to study the association between incident mental health disorders and bowel dysfunction after surgery. DESIGN: This retrospective cohort study used the Clinical Practice Research Datalink and Hospital Episode Statistics databases. SETTINGS: The databases were based in the United Kingdom. PATIENTS: All adult patients who underwent restorative proctectomy for a rectal neoplasm between 1998 and 2018 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was an incident mental health disorder. The associations between bowel, sexual, and urinary dysfunctions and incident mental health disorders were studied using Cox proportional hazard regression models. RESULTS: In total, 2197 patients who underwent restorative proctectomy were identified. Of 1858 patients without preoperative bowel, sexual, or urinary dysfunction, 1455 had no preoperative mental health disorders. In this cohort, 466 patients (32.0%) developed incident mental health disorders following restorative proctectomy during 6333 person-years of follow-up. On multivariate Cox regression, female sex (adjusted HR 1.30; 95% CI, 1.06-1.56), metastatic disease (adjusted HR 1.57; 95% CI, 1.14-2.15), incident bowel dysfunction (adjusted HR 1.41, 95% CI, 1.13-1.77), and urinary dysfunction (adjusted HR 1.57; 95% CI, 1.16-2.14) were found to be associated with developing incident mental health disorders post-restorative proctectomy. LIMITATIONS: This study was limited by its observational study design and residual confounding. CONCLUSIONS: Incident mental health disorders after restorative proctectomy for rectal cancer are common. The presence of bowel and urinary functional impairment significantly increases the risk of poor psychological outcomes among rectal cancer survivors. CON LOS TRASTORNOS DE SALUD MENTAL EN PACIENTES CON CNCER DE RECTO POSTERIOR A PROCTECTOMA RESTAURADORA: ANTECEDENTES: La mayoría de los pacientes con cáncer de recto experimentan síntomas intestinales después de la proctectomía restauradora. Se desconoce la incidencia de trastornos de salud mental posteriores a la proctectomía restauradora y su asociación con síntomas intestinales.OBJETIVOS: Los objetivos de nuestro estudio son: a) describir la incidencia de trastornos de salud mental en pacientes sometidos a proctectomía restauradora por cáncer de recto; b) estudiar la asociación entre los trastornos de salud mental incidentes y la disfunción intestinal después de la cirugía.DISEÑO: Este fue un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo que utilizó las bases de datos Clinical Practice Research Datalink y Hospital Episode Statistics.ENTORNO CLÍNICO: Las bases de datos se basaron en el Reino Unido.PACIENTES: Se incluyeron todos los pacientes adultos que se sometieron a una proctectomía restauradora por una neoplasia rectal entre 1998 y 2018.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE VALORACIÓN: El resultado primario fue un trastorno de salud mental incidente. Las asociaciones entre la disfunción intestinal, sexual y urinaria y los trastornos de salud mental incidentes se estudiaron utilizando modelos de regresión de riesgos proporcionales de Cox.RESULTADOS: En total, se identificaron 2.197 pacientes que se sometieron a proctectomía restauradora. De 1.858 pacientes sin disfunción intestinal, sexual o urinaria preoperatoria, 1.455 personas tampoco tenían trastornos de salud mental preoperatorios. En esta cohorte, 466 (32,0 %) pacientes desarrollaron trastornos de salud mental incidentes después de la PR durante 6333 años-persona de seguimiento. En la regresión multivariada de Cox, sexo femenino (HRa 1,30, IC 95% 1,06-1,56), enfermedad metastásica (HRa 1,57, IC 95% 1,14-2,15) e incidencia intestinal (HRa 1,41, IC del 95 %: 1,13 a 1,77) y la disfunción urinaria (aHR 1,57, IC del 95 %: 1,16 a 2,14) se asociaron con el desarrollo de trastornos de salud mental incidentes después de la proctectomía restauradora.LIMITACIONES: Este estudio estuvo limitado por el diseño del estudio observacional y la confusión residual.CONCLUSIÓN: Los trastornos de salud mental incidentes después de la proctectomía restauradora para el cáncer de recto son comunes. La presencia de deterioro funcional intestinal y urinario aumenta significativamente el riesgo de malos resultados psicológicos entre los sobrevivientes de cáncer de recto.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Historically, Hartmann's procedure (HP) has been the operation of choice for diverticulitis in the emergency setting. However, recent evidence has demonstrated the safety of primary anastomosis (PA) with or without diverting ileostomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the trends of, and factors associated with, HP compared to PA in emergency surgery for diverticulitis over 25 years. METHODS: Using the National Inpatient Sample database, we identified adult patients ≥ 18 years old who underwent emergency surgery for diverticulitis (HP or PA) between 1993 and 2018 using ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal cancer or who underwent elective diverticulitis surgery were excluded. Trends in HP were analyzed using multivariable linear regression, and factors associated with HP were assessed with multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: Of 499,433 patients who underwent colectomy in the emergency setting for acute diverticulitis, 271,288 (54.3%) had a HP and 228,145 (45.7%) had a PA. Median age was 61 years (IQR: 50-73), 53% were women, and 70.5% were white. The proportion of HP slightly increased over the study period-HP comprised 52.6% of included cases in 1993-98 and 55.2% of cases in 2014-2018 (p = 0.017). Advanced age (reference = 18-44 years; 45-54 years: OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.10-1.22; 55-64 years: OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.20-1.33; 65-74 years: OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.25-1.42; ≥ 75 years: OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.41-1.62), complicated diverticulitis (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.36-1.46), and severity of illness (reference = minor; moderate: OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.38-1.54; major/extreme: OR 3.43, 95% CI 3.25-3.63) were associated with increased odds of HP. CONCLUSIONS: Over a 26-year period, HP has remained the most performed procedure in the emergency setting for diverticulitis. Future work should focus on knowledge translation with a possible change in practice as more randomized controlled trials provide support for PA.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of preoperative bowel stimulation on the development of postoperative ileus (POI) after loop ileostomy closure. METHODS: This was a multicenter, randomized controlled trial (NCT025596350) including adult (≥ 18 years old) patients who underwent elective loop ileostomy closure at 7 participating hospitals. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) using a centralized computer-generated sequence with block randomization to either preoperative bowel stimulation or no stimulation (control group). Bowel stimulation consisted of 10 outpatient sessions within the 3 weeks prior to ileostomy closure and was performed by trained Enterostomal Therapy nurses. The primary outcome was POI, defined as an intolerance to oral food in the absence of clinical or radiological signs of obstruction, on or after postoperative day 3, that either (a) required nasogastric tube insertion; or (b) was associated with two of the following: nausea/vomiting, abdominal distension, or the absence of flatus. RESULTS: Between January 2017 and November 2020, 101 patients were randomized, and 5 patients never underwent ileostomy closure; thus, 96 patients (47 stimulated vs. 49 control) were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat protocol. Baseline characteristics were well balanced in both groups. The incidence of POI was lower among patients randomized to stimulation (6.4% vs. 24.5%, p = 0.034; unadjusted RR: 0.26, 95% CI 0.078-0.87). Stimulated patients also had earlier median time to first flatus (2.0 days (1.0-2.0) vs. 2.0 days (2.0-3.0), p = 0.025), were more likely to pass flatus on postoperative day 1 (46.8% vs. 22.4%, p = 0.022), and had a shorter median postoperative hospital stay (3.0 days (2.0-3.5) vs. 4.0 days (2.0-6.0), p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative bowel stimulation via the efferent limb of the ileostomy reduced POI after elective loop ileostomy closure.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The objectives of this study were to identify consensus priority research questions according to members of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES), and to explore differences in priorities according to specific membership subgroups. METHODS: A modified Delphi study was conducted including active members of SAGES. An initial list of research questions was compiled by members of 26 SAGES Committees and Task Forces, and was further refined by the SAGES Delphi Task Force. The questions were divided into five research categories: (1) Surgical Outcomes; (2) Education, Training, and Simulation; (3) Health Services Research; (4) New Technology; and (5) Artificial Intelligence. Delphi respondents were asked to rank each question with regards to its importance in the field of gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgery (1-low; 5-high). "Priority" was defined as a single-round mean score of ≥ 3.5, and "consensus" as a single-round standard deviation < 1.0. Subgroup analyses were performed according to a priori selected respondent characteristics. RESULTS: The total number of respondents for each round was: Round 1 (n = 407); Round 2 (n = 569); Round 3 (n = 273). In each round, the majority of respondents were male (Round 1: 77.4%; Round 2: 77.1%; Round 3: 76.7%), self-identified as academic (vs. community) surgeons (Round 1: 57.1%; Round 2: 61.1%; Round 3: 60.2%), and practiced in North America (Round 1: 71.8%; Round 2: 70.8%; Round 3: 75.9%). A total of 29 out of 122 research questions met criteria for both "priority" and "consensus"-Surgical Outcomes, n = 6; Education, Training, and Simulation, n = 9; Health Services Research, n = 5; New Technology, n = 5; and Artificial Intelligence, n = 4. CONCLUSIONS: Consensus priority research questions in gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgery were identified across five different research categories. These results can provide direction and areas of interest for funding and investigation for future studies.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Despite the existing evidence, the omission of antibiotics in the management of acute uncomplicated diverticulitis has not gained widespread acceptance. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to incorporate the input of both patients and physicians on the omission of antibiotics in uncomplicated diverticulitis to generate noninferiority margins for 3 outcomes. DESIGN: This was a mixed-methods study, including in-person interviews with patients and a Delphi process with physicians. SETTINGS: North American patients and physicians participated. PATIENTS: Consecutive patients undergoing colonoscopy, 40% of whom had a previous history of diverticulitis, were selected. INTERVENTIONS: Informational video (for patients) and evidence summaries (for physicians) regarding antibiotics in diverticulitis were reviewed. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: Noninferiority margins were generated for time to reach full recovery, persistent diverticulitis, and progression to complicated diverticulitis in the context of a nonantibiotic strategy. Consensus was defined as an interquartile range <2.5. RESULTS: Fifty patients participated in this study. To avoid antibiotics, patients were willing to accept up to 5.0 (3.0-7.0) days longer to reach full recovery, up to an absolute increase of 4.0% (4.0-6.0) in the risk of developing persistent diverticulitis, and up to an absolute increase of 2.0% (0-3.8) in the risk of progressing to complicated diverticulitis. A total of 55 physicians participated in the Delphi (round 1 response rate = 94.8%; round 2 response rate = 100%). Consensus noninferiority margins were generated for persistent diverticulitis (4.0%, 4.0-5.0) and progression to complicated diverticulitis (3.0%, 2.0-3.0), but could not be generated for time to reach full recovery (5.0 days, 3.5-7.0). LIMITATIONS: Patients were recruited from a single institution, and Delphi participants were invited and not randomly selected. CONCLUSION: Noninferiority margins were generated for 3 important outcomes after the treatment of acute uncomplicated diverticulitis in the context of a nonantibiotic strategy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Persistent (or ongoing) diverticulitis is a well-recognized outcome after treatment for acute sigmoid diverticulitis; however, its definition, incidence, and risk factors, as well as its long-term implications, remain poorly described. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence, risk factors, and long-term outcomes of persistent diverticulitis. DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS: Two university-affiliated hospitals in Montreal, Quebec, Canada were included. PATIENTS: The study was composed of consecutive patients managed nonoperatively for acute sigmoid diverticulitis. INTERVENTION: Nonoperative management of acute sigmoid diverticulitis was involved. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Persistent diverticulitis, defined as inpatient or outpatient treatment for signs and symptoms of ongoing diverticulitis within the first 60 days after treatment of the index episode, was measured. RESULTS: In total, 915 patients were discharged after an index episode of diverticulitis managed nonoperatively. Seventy-five patients (8.2%; 95% CI, 6.5%-10.2%) presented within 60 days with persistent diverticulitis. Factors associated with persistent diverticulitis were younger age (adjusted OR = 0.98 (95% CI, 0.96-0.99)), immunosuppression (adjusted OR = 2.02 (95% CI, 1.04-3.88)), and abscess (adjusted OR = 2.05 (95% CI, 1.03-3.92)). Among the 75 patients with persistent disease, 42 (56.0%) required hospital admission, 6 (8.0%) required percutaneous drainage, and 5 (6.7%) required resection. After a median follow-up of 39.0 months (range, 17.0-67.3 mo), the overall recurrence rate in the entire cohort was 31.3% (286/910). After excluding patients who were managed operatively for their persistent episode of diverticulitis, the cumulative incidence of recurrent diverticulitis (log-rank: p < 0.001) and sigmoid colectomy (log-rank: p < 0.001) were higher among patients who experienced persistent diverticulitis after the index episode. After adjustment for relevant patient and disease factors, persistent diverticulitis was associated with higher hazards of recurrence (adjusted HR = 1.94 (95% CI, 1.37-2.76) and colectomy (adjusted HR = 5.11 (95% CI, 2.96-8.83)). LIMITATIONS: The study was limited by its observational study design and modest sample size. CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 10% of patients experience persistent diverticulitis after treatment for an index episode of diverticulitis. Persistent diverticulitis is a poor prognostic factor for long-term outcomes, including recurrent diverticulitis and colectomy. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B593. REPERCUSIONES A LARGO PLAZO DE LA DIVERTICULITIS PERSISTENTE ESTUDIO DE UNA COHORTE RETROSPECTIVA DE PACIENTES: ANTECEDENTES:La diverticulitis persistente (o continua) es un resultado bien conocido posterior al tratamiento de la diverticulitis aguda del sigmoides; sin embargo, la definición, incidencia y factores de riesgo, así como sus repercusiones a largo plazo siguen estando descritas de manera deficiente.OBJETIVO:Evaluar la incidencia, los factores de riesgo y los resultados a largo plazo de la diverticulitis persistente.DISEÑO:Estudio de una cohorte retrospectiva.AMBITO:Dos hospitales universitarios afiliados en Montreal, Quebec, Canadá.PACIENTES:pacientes consecutivos tratados sin cirugia por diverticulitis aguda del sigmoides.INTERVENCIÓN:Tratamiento no quirúrgico de la diverticulitis aguda del sigmoides.PRINCIPALES RESULTADOS EVALUADOS:Diverticulitis persistente, definida como tratamiento hospitalario o ambulatorio por signos y síntomas de diverticulitis continua dentro de los primeros 60 días posteriores al tratamiento del episodio índice.RESULTADOS:Un total de 915 pacientes fueron dados de alta posterior al episodio índice de diverticulitis tratados sin cirugia. Setenta y cinco pacientes (8,2%; IC del 95%: 6,5-10,2%) presentaron diverticulitis persistente dentro de los 60 días. Los factores asociados con la diverticulitis persistente fueron una edad menor (aOR: 0,98, IC del 95%: 0,96-0,99), inmunosupresión (aOR: 2,02, IC del 95%: 1,04-3,88) y abscesos (aOR: 2,05, IC del 95%: 1,03-3,92). Entre los 75 pacientes con enfermedad persistente, 42 (56,0%) requirieron ingreso hospitalario, 6 (8,0%) drenaje percutáneo y 5 (6,7%) resección. Posterior a seguimiento medio de 39,0 (17,0-67,3) meses, la tasa global de recurrencia de toda la cohorte fue del 31,3% (286/910). Después de excluir a los pacientes que fueron tratados quirúrgicamente por su episodio persistente de diverticulitis, la incidencia acumulada de diverticulitis recurrente (rango logarítmico: p <0,001) y colectomía sigmoidea (rango logarítmico: p <0,001) fue mayor entre los pacientes que experimentaron diverticulitis persistente después el episodio índice. Posterior al ajuste de factores importantes de la enfermedad y del paciente, la diverticulitis persistente se asoció con mayores riesgos de recurrencia (aHR: 1,94, IC 95% 1,37-2,76) y colectomía (aHR: 5,11, IC 95% 2,96-8,83).LIMITACIONES:Diseño de estudio observacional, un modesto tamaño de muestra.CONCLUSIONES:Aproximadamente el 10% de los pacientes presentan diverticulitis persistente después del tratamiento del episodio índice de diverticulitis. La diverticulitis persistente, en sus resultados a largo plazo, es un factor de mal pronóstico, donse se inlcuye la diverticulitis recurente y colectomía.

RESUMO

AIM: The aim of this study was to assess bowel-related financial stress and strain and to evaluate its association with global quality of life. METHOD: This was a retrospective cohort study with cross-sectional follow-up including consecutive patients who underwent restorative proctectomy for neoplastic disease of the rectum at a single university-affiliated hospital in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Bowel-related financial impact and occupational impact were compared between patients with major low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) and those with minor/no LARS. The association between LARS, bowel-related financial impact and global quality of life (QoL) was then assessed in a multiple logistic regression model. RESULTS: Of 180 eligible rectal cancer survivors who were contacted, 154 completed the questionnaires (response rate 47.1%) at a median follow-up of 57.5 months (interquartile range 34.1-98.1) after proctectomy. Individuals with major LARS reported a higher prevalence of bowel-related financial stress (53.2% vs 5.6%, p < 0.001) and strain (42.2% vs 5.6%, p < 0.001) compared with those with minor/no LARS. Among those who were working preoperatively (n = 100), the majority of participants with major LARS reported an impact of their new bowel function on their ability to work (70.6%), including delayed return to work (44.1%), the need to change schedules (35.3%) or roles (20.6%), and complete long-term medical absence from work (14.7%). On multiple logistic regression, major LARS with financial impact (OR 4.50, 95% CI 1.57-13.77) was associated with low global QoL compared with minor/no LARS. CONCLUSION: Major LARS was associated with considerable financial stress and strain and difficulties in returning to work.

RESUMO

AIM: Patients are not well informed about sexual dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery and often turn to the Internet for information. The purpose of this study was to assess online information for patients on sexual dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery. METHODS: An online search of Google, Yahoo and Bing was performed using specific (e.g., rectal cancer surgery and vaginal pain) and general (e.g., rectal cancer surgery and sex) search terms. Inclusion criteria were websites in English, designed for patients, and including content regarding sexual dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery. Websites were assessed for readability (nine standardized tests), quality (DISCERN tool), suitability (Suitability Assessment of Materials tool), and content. RESULTS: Of 5040 websites identified, 99 unique websites met inclusion criteria. Three (3%) websites fulfilled the American Medical Association recommendation of a 6th-grade reading level. Using the DISCERN instrument, two (2%) websites were assigned good/excellent quality, nineteen (19%) referenced their sources of information, and thirty-one (31%) fully discussed the impact of sexual dysfunction on quality of life. Using the SAM instrument, three (3%) websites were classified as highly suitable for rectal cancer patients, sixty-five (66%) were adequate, and thirty-one (31%) were inadequate. With regards to content, nine (9%) websites fully discussed the impact of sexual dysfunction on patients partners and fifty-one (52%) websites did not cover prognosis. CONCLUSION: Online health information available to patients on sexual dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery is suboptimal. Websites are not suitable, lack important content, and are written at too complex a reading level for patients.

RESUMO

AIM: Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) refers to a constellation of bowel symptoms that affect the majority of patients following restorative proctectomy. LARS is associated with poorer quality of life (QoL), and can lead to distress, anxiety and isolation. Peer support could be an important resource for people living with LARS, helping them normalize and validate their experience. The aim of this work is to describe the development of an interactive online informational and peer support app for LARS and the protocol for a randomized controlled trial. METHOD: A multicentre, randomized, assessor-blind, parallel-groups pragmatic trial will involve patients from five large colorectal surgery practices across Canada. The trial will evaluate the impact of an interactive online informational and peer support app for LARS, consisting of LARS informational modules and a closed forum for peers and trained peer support mentors, on patient-reported outcomes of people living with LARS. The primary outcome will be global QoL at 6 months following app exposure. The treatment effect on global QoL will be modelled using generalized estimating equations. Secondary outcomes will include patient activation and bowel function as measured by LARS scores. RESULTS: In order to better understand patients' interest and preferences for an online peer support intervention for LARS, we conducted a single institution cross-sectional survey study of rectal cancer survivors. In total, 35/69 (51%) participants reported interest in online peer support for LARS. Age <65 years (OR 9.1; 95% CI 2.3-50) and minor/major LARS (OR 20; 95% CI 4.2-100) were significant predictors of interest in LARS online peer support. CONCLUSION: There is significant interest in the use of online peer support for LARS among younger patients and those with significant bowel dysfunction. Based on results of the needs assessment study, the app content and features were modified reflect patients' needs and preferences. We are now in an optimal position to rigorously test the potential effects of this initiative on patient-centered outcomes using a randomized controlled trial.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Diverting loop ileostomy (DLI) and colonic lavage has emerged as a valid alternative to total abdominal colectomy (TAC) for the surgical management of Clostridioides difficile colitis (CDC). However, little data are available on outcomes beyond the index admission. The objective of this study was to compare post-discharge outcomes between patients who underwent DLI and TAC for CDC. METHODS: Adult patients who underwent DLI or TAC for CDC between 2011 and 2016 were identified from the Nationwide Readmissions Database, and only discharges between January and September in each calendar year were included to allow for a 90-day follow-up period for all cases. Ninety-day overall in-hospital mortality (index admission mortality plus 90-day post-discharge mortality) and 90-day unplanned readmissions were compared. To assess 6-month ileostomy reversal rates, the cohort was then truncated to exclude discharges after June in each calendar year. Multivariate regression was used to adjust for patient demographics and disease severity. RESULTS: In total, 2070 patients were discharged between January and September of each included year: 1486 (71.8%) TAC compared to 584 (28.2%) DLI. Overall in-hospital mortality was higher among patients who underwent TAC (34.5% vs. 27.7%, p = 0.004); however, this association did not remain on multivariate regression (OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.91-1.43). Among the 1434 patients who were discharged alive, the 90-day unplanned readmission rate was similar in both groups (TAC: 26.1% vs. DLI: 23.1%, p = 0.26). After truncating the cohort to those patients discharged alive between January and June of each included year (n = 1016), patients who underwent DLI had a significantly greater 6-month ileostomy reversal rate (26.4% vs. 8.3%, p < 0.001). DLI was independently associated with higher odds of 6-month ileostomy reversal (OR 2.68, 95% CI 1.80-4.00). CONCLUSIONS: In the surgical management of CDC, DLI is associated with equivalent mortality and unplanned readmission, but greater likelihood of 6-month ileostomy reversal, compared to TAC.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In 2016, the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons published a rectal cancer surgery checklist composed of the essential elements of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care for patients undergoing rectal cancer surgery. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess whether compliance with preoperative checklist elements was associated with improved pathologic and 30-day postoperative outcomes after rectal cancer surgery. DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS: The study involved North American hospitals contributing to the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. PATIENTS: Adult patients who underwent elective rectal cancer surgery from 2016 to 2017 were included. INTERVENTION: The study encompassed checklist compliance with 6 preoperative elements from the checklist. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pathologic outcomes (circumferential resection margin status, distal resection margin status, and adequate lymph node harvest ≥12), 30-day surgical morbidity, and length of stay were measured. RESULTS: In total, 2217 patients were included in the analysis. Individual compliance with the 6 available preoperative checklist items was variable, including 91.3% for pretreatment documentation of tumor location within the rectum, 86.8% for complete colonoscopy, 84.0% for appropriate preoperative stoma marking, 79.8% for appropriate use of neoadjuvant radiotherapy, 76.6% for locoregional staging, and 70.8% for distant staging. Only 836 patients (37.7%) had all 6 checklist elements complete, whereas 1381 (62.3%) did not. Compared with patients without checklist compliance, patients with checklist compliance were younger (60.0 vs 63.0 y; p < 0.001) but otherwise had similar demographic characteristics. On multivariate regression, checklist compliance was associated with lower odds of circumferential resection margin positivity (OR = 0.47 (95% CI, 0.31-0.71); p < 0.001), higher odds of an adequate lymph node harvest ≥12 (OR = 1.60 (95% CI, 1.29-2.00); p < 0.001), reduced surgical morbidity (OR = 0.78 (95% CI, 0.65-0.95); p = 0.01), and shorter length of stay (ß = -0.87 (95% CI, -1.51 to -0.24); p = 0.007). The association between checklist compliance and reduced odds of circumferential resection margin positivity remained on sensitivity analysis (OR = 0.61 (95% CI, 0.42-0.88); p = 0.009) when adjusting for neoadjuvant radiation. LIMITATIONS: This study was limited by its absence of long-term oncologic data and missing variables. CONCLUSIONS: Compliance with 6 preoperative elements of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons rectal cancer surgery checklist was associated with significantly improved pathologic outcomes and reduced postoperative morbidity.

EL CUMPLIMIENTO CON LOS ELEMENTOS PREOPERATORIOS DE LA LISTA DE VERIFICACIÓN DE CIRUGÍA PARA CÁNCER RECTAL DE LA SOCIEDAD AMERICANA DE CIRUJANOS DE COLON Y RECTO MEJORA LOS RESULTADOS HISTOPATOLÓGICOS Y POSTOPERATORIOS: En 2016, la Sociedad Americana de Cirujanos de Colon y Recto publicó una lista de verificación de cirugía de cáncer de recto que comprende los elementos esenciales de la atención pre, intra y postoperatoria para pacientes sometidos a cirugía de cáncer de recto.Evaluar si el cumplimiento con los elementos preoperatorios de la lista de verificación se asoció con mejores resultados histopatológicos y postoperatorios a 30 días después de la cirugía de cáncer rectal.Estudio de cohorte retrospectiva.Hospitales norteamericanos que contribuyen al Programa Nacional de Mejora de la Calidad Quirúrgica del Colegio Americano de Cirujanos.Pacientes adultos que se sometieron a cirugía electiva de cáncer rectal entre 2016 y 2017.Cumplimiento de la lista de verificación con seis elementos preoperatorios de la lista de verificación.Resultados histopatológicos (estado del margen de resección circunferencial, estado del margen de resección distal, cosecha adecuada de ganglios linfáticos ≥12), morbilidad quirúrgica a 30 días y duración de la estadía.En total, 2,217 pacientes fueron incluidos en el análisis. El cumplimiento individual de los seis ítems disponibles de la lista de verificación preoperatoria fue variable: 91.3% para la documentación previa al tratamiento de la localización del tumor dentro del recto, 86.8% para colonoscopía completa, 84.0% para el marcado preoperatorio apropiado del sitio de estoma, 79.8% para el uso apropiado de radioterapia neoadyuvante, 76.6 % para estadificación locorregional y 70.8% para estadificación distante. Solo 836 (37.7%) pacientes tenían los seis elementos de la lista de verificación completos, mientras que 1,381 (62.3%) no. En comparación con los pacientes sin cumplimiento de la lista de verificación, los pacientes con cumplimiento de la lista de verificación eran más jóvenes (60.0 vs. 63.0 años, p <0.001), pero por lo demás tenían características demográficas similares. En la regresión multivariada, el cumplimiento de la lista de verificación se asoció con menores probabilidades de positividad en el margen de resección circunferencial (OR = 0.47; IC del 95%: 0.31-0.71, p <0.001), mayores probabilidades de una cosecha adecuada de ganglios linfáticos ≥12 (OR = 1.60, IC 95% 1.29-2.00, p <0.001), menor morbilidad quirúrgica (OR = 0.78, IC 95% 0.65-0.95, p = 0.01) y menor duración de estadía (ß = -0.87, IC 95% -1.51 - - 0.24, p = 0.007). La asociación entre el cumplimiento de la lista de verificación y las probabilidades reducidas de positividad del margen de resección circunferencial se mantuvo en el análisis de sensibilidad (OR = 0.61; IC del 95%: 0.42-0.88, p = 0.009) al ser ajustado con radiación neoadyuvante.Ausencia de datos oncológicos a largo plazo y variables faltantes.El cumplimiento de seis elementos preoperatorios de la lista de verificación de cirugía de cáncer rectal de la Sociedad Americana de Cirujanos de Colon y Recto se asoció con resultados histopatológicos significativamente mejores y una menor morbilidad postoperatoria.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The true incidence of, and risk factors for, readmission for treatment failure after nonoperative management of acute diverticulitis remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the incidence and risk factors for readmission for treatment failure after nonoperative management of acute diverticulitis using a large national database. DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS: A representative sample of admissions and discharges from hospitals in the United States captured in the National Readmissions Database were included. PATIENTS: Adult patients (age ≥18 y) admitted with a primary diagnostic of colonic diverticulitis between 2010 and 2015 and who were managed nonoperatively and discharged from hospital alive were included. INTERVENTIONS: Study intervention included nonoperative management, consisting of medical therapy with or without percutaneous drainage. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Readmission for treatment failure (defined as a nonelective readmission for diverticulitis within 90 d of discharge), complicated treatment failure (defined as a treatment failure with complicated diverticulitis), and time-to-treatment failure were measured. RESULTS: In total, 201,384 patients were included. The overall incidence of readmission for treatment failure was 6.6%. Treatment failure was significantly higher among patients with an index episode of acute complicated diverticulitis compared with acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (12.5% vs 5.7%; p < 0.001). The median time-to-readmission for treatment failure was 21.0 days (range, 20.4-21.6 d), and 85% of all readmissions occurred within 60 days of discharge. On multiple logistic regression, factors independently associated with readmission for treatment failure were an index admission of complicated diverticulitis (OR = 2.06 (95% CI, 1.97-2.16)), disposition on discharge (against medical advice: OR = 1.92 (95% CI, 1.66-2.20); home health care arrangements: OR = 1.24 (95% CI, 1.16-1.33)), and immunosuppression (OR = 1.42 (95% CI, 1.28-1.57)), among others. Risk factors for a complicated treatment failure were also described, after an index episode of complicated and uncomplicated diverticulitis. LIMITATIONS: The study was limited by residual confounding from missing covariates and its observational study design. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of readmission for treatment failure after an episode of diverticulitis managed nonoperatively is 6.6%, and an index episode of complicated diverticulitis is the strongest risk factor for treatment failure.

REINGRESO POR FRACASO DEL TRATAMIENTO DESPUÉS DEL TRATAMIENTO NO QUIRÚRGICO DE LA DIVERTICULITIS AGUDA: UN ANÁLISIS DE LA BASE DE DATOS DE REINGRESOS A NIVEL NACIONAL: La verdadera incidencia y los factores de riesgo para el reingreso por fracaso del tratamiento después de manejo no quirúrgico de la diverticulitis aguda siguen siendo mal definidos.Definir la incidencia y los factores de riesgo de reingreso por fracaso del tratamiento no quirúrgico de la diverticulitis aguda utilizando una base de datos nacional.Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo.Una muestra representativa de ingresos y egresos de hospitales en los Estados Unidos capturados en la base de datos nacional de reingresos hospitalarios.Pacientes adultos (≥18 años) ingresados con un diagnóstico primario de diverticulitis colónica entre 2010-2015, y que fueron tratados de forma no operativa y dados de alta del hospital vivos.Manejo no quirúrgico, que consiste en terapia médica con o sin drenaje percutáneo.Reingreso por fracaso del tratamiento (definido como un reingreso no electivo por diverticulitis dentro de los 90 días despues de ser dados de alta), fracaso del tratamiento complicado (definido como un fracaso del tratamiento con diverticulitis complicada) y el tiempo hasta el tratamiento en casos fracasaados.201.384 pacientes incluidos en total. La incidencia global de reingreso por fracaso del tratamiento fue del 6,6%. El fracaso del tratamiento fue significativamente mayor entre los pacientes con un episodio índice de diverticulitis aguda complicada en comparación con la diverticulitis aguda no complicada (12.5% vs. 5.7%, p <0.001). La mediana del tiempo hasta el reingreso por fracaso del tratamiento fue de 21.0 (20.4 - 21.6) días, y el 85% de todos los reingresos ocurrieron dentro de los 60 días posteriores a ser dados de alta. En la regresión logística múltiple, los factores asociados independientemente con el reingreso por fracaso del tratamiento fueron un índice de admisión de diverticulitis complicada (OR 2.06, IC 95% 1.97-2.16), disposición (de alta en contra del consejo médico: OR 1.92, IC 95% 1.66-2.2; atención médica domiciliaria: OR 1.24, IC 95% 1.16-1.33) e inmunosupresión (OR 1.42, IC 95% 1.28-1.57), entre otros. Los factores de riesgo para un fracaso del tratamiento complicado también se describieron, respectivamente, después de un episodio índice de diverticulitis complicada y no complicada.Covariables faltantes y diseño de estudio observacional.La incidencia de reingreso por fracaso del tratamiento después de un episodio de diverticulitis manejado de forma no operativa es del 6,6%, y un episodio índice de diverticulitis complicada es el factor de riesgo más fuerte para el fracaso del tratamiento.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To date, the impact of family history on diverticulitis outcomes has been poorly described. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the association between family history and diverticulitis recurrence after an episode of diverticulitis managed nonoperatively. DESIGN: This is a retrospective cohort study with prospective telephone follow-up. SETTINGS: This study was conducted at 2 McGill University-affiliated tertiary care hospitals in Montreal, Canada. PATIENTS: All immunocompetent patients with CT-proven left-sided diverticulitis who were managed nonoperatively from 2007 to 2017 were included. INTERVENTION: A positive family history for diverticulitis, as assessed by a detailed telephone questionnaire, was obtained. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was diverticulitis recurrence occurring >60 days after the index episode. Secondary outcomes included a complicated recurrence and >1 recurrence (ie, re-recurrence). RESULTS: Of the 879 patients identified in the database, 433 completed the telephone questionnaire (response rate: 48.9%). Among them, 173 (40.0%) had a positive family history of diverticulitis and 260 (60.0%) did not. Compared to patients with no family history, patients with family history had a younger median age (59.0 vs 62.0 years, p = 0.020) and a higher incidence of abscess (24.3% vs 3.5%, p < 0.001). After a median follow-up of 40.1 (17.4-65.3) months, patients with a positive family history had a higher cumulative incidence of recurrence (log-rank test: p < 0.001). On Cox regression, a positive family history remained associated with diverticulitis recurrence (HR, 3.74; 95% CI, 2.67-5.24). Among patients with a positive family history, >1 relative with a history of diverticulitis had a higher hazard of recurrence (HR, 2.93; 95% CI, 1.96-4.39) than patients with only 1 relative with a history of diverticulitis. Positive family history was also associated with the development of a complicated recurrence (HR, 8.30; 95% CI, 3.64-18.9) and >1 recurrence (HR, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.13-3.65). LIMITATIONS: This study has the potential for recall and nonresponse bias. CONCLUSION: Patients with a positive family history of diverticulitis are at higher risk for recurrent diverticulitis and complicated recurrences. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B215. LOS ANTECEDENTES FAMILIARES ESTÁN ASOCIADOS CON DIVERTICULITIS RECURRENTE, DESPUÉS DE UN EPISODIO DE DIVERTICULITIS MANEJADA SIN OPERACIÓN: Hasta la fecha, el impacto de los antecedentes familiares en los resultados de la diverticulitis, ha sido mal descrito.Evaluar la asociación entre los antecedentes familiares y la recurrencia de diverticulitis después de un episodio de diverticulitis manejado de forma no operatoria.Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo con seguimiento telefónico prospectivo.Dos hospitales de atención terciaria afiliados a la Universidad McGill en Montreal, Canadá.Todos los pacientes inmunocompetentes con diverticulitis izquierda comprobada por TAC, que fueron manejados sin cirugía desde 2007-2017.Una historia familiar positiva para diverticulitis, según lo evaluado por un detallado cuestionario telefónico.El resultado primario fue la recurrencia de diverticulitis ocurriendo > 60 días después del episodio índice. Resultados secundarios incluyeron una recurrencia complicada y >1 recurrencia (es decir, re-recurrencia).De los 879 pacientes identificados en la base de datos, 433 completaron el cuestionario telefónico (tasa de respuesta: 48,9%). Entre ellos, 173 (40.0%) tenían antecedentes familiares positivos de diverticulitis y 260 (60.0%) no tenían. Comparados con los pacientes sin antecedentes familiares, los pacientes con antecedentes familiares tenían una mediana de edad más joven (59.0 vs 62.0 años, p = 0.020) y una mayor incidencia de abscesos (24.3% vs 3.5%, p < 0.001). Después de una mediana de seguimiento de 40.1 (17.4-65.3) meses, los pacientes con antecedentes familiares positivos tuvieron una mayor incidencia acumulada de recurrencia (prueba de log-rank: p < 0.001). En la regresión de Cox, un historial familiar positivo, permaneció asociado con recurrencia de diverticulitis (HR, 3.74; IC 95%, 2.67-5.24). Entre los pacientes con antecedentes familiares positivos, >1 familiar con antecedentes de diverticulitis, tuvieron mayores riesgos de recurrencia (HR, 2.93; IC 95%, 1.96-4.39) en comparación de los pacientes con solo 1 familiar. La historia familiar positiva también se asoció con el desarrollo de una recurrencia complicada (HR, 8.30; IC 95%, 3.64-18.9) y >1 recurrencia (HR, 2.03; IC 95%, 1.13-3.65).Potencial de recuerdo y sesgo de no respuesta.Los pacientes con antecedentes familiares positivos de diverticulitis tienen un mayor riesgo para diverticulitis recurrente y recurrencias complicadas.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to determine whether right-sided colectomies (RC) were associated with a higher incidence of primary postoperative ileus (pPOI) compared to left-sided colectomies (LC). METHODS: Patients who underwent elective colectomy for neoplastic disease between 2012 and 2016 were identified using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. RC and LC were defined as having an ileocolic or colocolic/colorectal anastomosis, respectively. Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM) was used to balance the two groups (1:1) on important confounders. The association between type of colectomy and pPOI, defined as POI in the absence of intra-abdominal sepsis, was then assessed in a multiple logistic regression analysis of the matched data. RESULTS: Of 40,636 patients who underwent a colectomy for neoplastic disease, 15,231 underwent a RC and 25,405 a LC. After CEM, 12,949 matched patients remained in each group, and all important confounders were well balanced. The incidence of pPOI was higher in the RC group (11.5% vs. 8.8%, p < 0.001). On multiple logistic regression, RC was associated with a 35% higher odds of developing pPOI compared to LC (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.25-1.47). RC was also associated with increased risk for NSQIP-defined major morbidity (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.01-1.20), 30-day readmission (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.06-1.27), and increased length of stay (ß = 0.16 days, 95% CI 0.11-0.22). CONCLUSION: pPOI is more common after RC than LC. Future research should aim at better understanding the pathophysiology behind this increased risk and identifying interventions to mitigate pPOI in this population.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Dehydration is the most common morbidity following creation of a diverting loop ileostomy (DLI). We aimed to develop and validate a prediction model and web-based risk calculator for readmission for dehydration following DLI creation. METHODS: After institutional review board approval, we retrospectively reviewed the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database between 2012 and 2017. Adult patients (> 18 years) who underwent DLI with a resection for colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or diverticulitis were identified. Patient demographics, operative and postoperative data were collected. The final prediction model, developed in 60% of the cohort (training set) and which modeled the 30-day cumulative incidence of readmission for dehydration, was selected using highest area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) criterion. Model calibration was assessed with the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test. The model was then assessed in validation and test sets, using 20% of the cohort for each. RESULTS: Of 25,638 patients in the ACS-NSQIP database who met inclusion criteria, 15,222 patients were randomly selected for the training set. The incidence of readmission for dehydration in this cohort was 2.1%. The final model with the highest AUC retained 12 candidate variables: age, sex, smoking status, diabetes, hypertension, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, type of admission, underlying diagnosis, procedure performed, operative time, index admission length of stay, and major morbidity. The model demonstrated good discrimination (AUC 0.76, 95% CI 0.74-0.79) and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test confirmed good calibration (p = 0.50). Five-thousand and seventy-three patients were available for the validation and test sets, respectively, and the model remained strong in both the validation and test sets (AUCs of 0.73 and 0.73, respectively). The prediction model was then converted into a web-based risk calculator. CONCLUSIONS: A prediction model and web-based risk calculator for readmission for dehydration after DLI creation was developed and validated, demonstrating good predictive capabilities.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Right-sided colonic diverticulitis represents less than 5% of diverticulitis cases in North America. The purpose of this study was to describe the management and outcomes for patients with a first episode of right-sided diverticulitis in a North American center. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study, including all patients managed for right-sided diverticulitis at a single tertiary-care institution from 2000 to 2017. Patient demographics, disease characteristics, and treatment strategies were described. Short- (emergency surgery, operative morbidity, treatment failure) and long-term (recurrence, elective operation) outcomes were reported. Patients with right-sided diverticulitis were then compared to a cohort of patients with left-sided diverticulitis. RESULTS: Sixty-seven patients were managed for a first episode of right-sided diverticulitis, three (4.5%) of which were subsequently diagnosed with right-sided colon cancer; 64 patients therefore formed the population. Mean age was 51.2 ± 17.7 years. Eight patients (12.5%) self-identified as being Asian. The majority of patients had uncomplicated disease (90.6%); six (9.4%) presented with complicated diverticulitis. Most cases were diagnosed by computed tomography (78.1%), while 17.2% were diagnosed intra-operatively and 4.7% by pathology. Almost all patients diagnosed by computed tomography were managed nonoperatively. Fifteen patients (23.4%) were managed surgically: ten for suspected appendicitis, three for suspected colon mass, and two for diffuse peritonitis. After a median follow-up of 74.8 months (IQR 30.2-130.5), only two patients (3.1%) developed recurrent right-sided diverticulitis. Among patients managed nonoperatively, recurrence was significantly lower in patients with right-sided diverticulitis relative to left-sided diverticulitis (4.1% vs. 32.8%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Right-sided diverticulitis can be successfully managed nonoperatively with low rates of recurrence. In populations in which this condition is more seldom observed, underlying colon cancers should be considered.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Endorectal brachytherapy is an attractive option in the neoadjuvant setting for locally advanced rectal cancer, but it is not considered standard of care. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare pathologic outcomes of patients with clinical T3 rectal cancer who underwent high-dose-rate endorectal brachytherapy with those who underwent conventional external beam radiotherapy. DESIGN: This study is a retrospective chart review. SETTINGS: This study was conducted in a single large tertiary academic colorectal surgery practice in Canada. PATIENTS: Adult patients with MRI-staged T3 rectal adenocarcinoma treated with neoadjuvant radiotherapy followed by total mesorectal excision from 2007 to 2016 were included. INTERVENTIONS: Neoadjuvant radiotherapy was delivered by high-dose-rate endorectal brachytherapy or conventional external beam radiotherapy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary outcome was pathologic complete response, defined as ypT0N0. Secondary outcomes included tumor (T stage) and lymph node (N stage) downstaging and tumor regression grade. RESULTS: Ninety-nine patients were identified as having clinical T3 rectal cancer based on blinded pretreatment MRI review. Mean age was 66.2 years (± 6.2) and 59 patients (59.6%) were male. Thirty-three patients were clinically node negative (33.3%), 45 had c-N1 disease (45.5%), and 21 had c-N2 disease (21.2%). Sixty-four patients (64.6%) underwent high-dose-rate endorectal brachytherapy and 35 (35.4%) underwent external beam radiotherapy. The high-dose-rate endorectal brachytherapy group had a lower median mesorectal depth of invasion (4 mm vs 5 mm, p = 0.010); all other preoperative tumor characteristics were similar in both groups. Eighteen patients (18.2%) achieved pathologic complete response: 12 in the high-dose-rate endorectal brachytherapy group and 6 in the conventional external beam radiotherapy group (18.8% vs 17.1%, p = 0.84). High-dose-rate endorectal brachytherapy was superior to conventional radiotherapy for tumor (T stage) downstaging (59.4% vs 28.6%, p = 0.0030) but not for lymph node (N stage) downstaging (35.9% vs 51.4%, p = 0.14). LIMITATIONS: This study was limited by its retrospective nature and modest sample size. CONCLUSIONS: Neoadjuvant treatment of T3 rectal cancer with high-dose-rate endorectal brachytherapy appears to achieve equivalent rates of pathologic complete response and superior T-stage downstaging compared with conventional external beam radiotherapy.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Postoperative ileus (POI) is regarded as the most clinically significant morbidity following loop ileostomy closure; however, its incidence remains poorly understood. Our objective was therefore to determine the pooled incidence of POI after loop ileostomy closure and identify risk factors associated with its development. METHODS: We systematically searched MEDLINE (via Ovid and PubMed), Embase, the Cochrane Library, Biosis Previews, and Scopus to identify studies reporting the incidence of POI in patients who underwent loop ileostomy closure. Two independent reviewers extracted data and appraised study quality. Cumulative incidence proportions were pooled across studies using a random-effects meta-analytic model. RESULTS: Sixty-seven studies, including 9528 patients, met our inclusion criteria. The pooled estimate of POI was 8.0% (95% CI 6.9-9.3%; I2 = 74%). The estimated incidence varied by POI definition: studies with a robust definition of POI (n = 8) demonstrated the highest estimate of POI (12.4%, 95% CI 9.2-16.5%; I2 = 79%) while studies that did not report an explicit POI definition (n = 38) demonstrated the lowest estimate (6.7%, 95% CI 5.3-8.3%; I2 = 61%). Small bowel anastomosis technique (hand-sewn) and interval time from ileostomy creation to closure (longer time) were the factors most commonly associated with POI after loop ileostomy closure. However, most comparative studies were not powered to examine risk factors for POI. CONCLUSIONS: POI is an important complication after loop ileostomy closure, and its incidence is dependent on its definition. More research aimed at studying this complication is required to better understand risk factors for POI after loop ileostomy closure.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acute diverticulitis (AD) presents a unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for general surgeons. This collaborative project between EAES and SAGES aimed to summarize recent evidence and draw statements of recommendation to guide our members on comprehensive AD management. METHODS: Systematic reviews of the literature were conducted across six AD topics by an international steering group including experts from both societies. Topics encompassed the epidemiology, diagnosis, management of non-complicated and complicated AD as well as emergency and elective operative AD management. Consensus statements and recommendations were generated, and the quality of the evidence and recommendation strength rated with the GRADE system. Modified Delphi methodology was used to reach consensus among experts prior to surveying the EAES and SAGES membership on the recommendations and likelihood to impact their practice. Results were presented at both EAES and SAGES annual meetings with live re-voting carried out for recommendations with < 70% agreement. RESULTS: A total of 51 consensus statements and 41 recommendations across all six topics were agreed upon by the experts and submitted for members' online voting. Based on 1004 complete surveys and over 300 live votes at the SAGES and EAES Diverticulitis Consensus Conference (DCC), consensus was achieved for 97.6% (40/41) of recommendations with 92% (38/41) agreement on the likelihood that these recommendations would change practice if not already applied. Areas of persistent disagreement included the selective use of imaging to guide AD diagnosis, recommendations against antibiotics in non-complicated AD, and routine colonic evaluation after resolution of non-complicated diverticulitis. CONCLUSION: This joint EAES and SAGES consensus conference updates clinicians on the current evidence and provides a set of recommendations that can guide clinical AD management practice.
