RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To identify the factors associated with readmission after pancreatectomy for cancer and to assess their impact on the 1-year mortality in a French multicentric population. BACKGROUND: Pancreatectomy is a complex procedure with high morbidity that increases the length of hospital stay and jeopardizes survival. Hospital readmissions lead to increased health system costs, making this a topic of great interest. METHODS: Data collected from patients who underwent pancreatectomy for cancer between 2011 and 2019 were extracted from a French national medico-administrative database. A descriptive analysis was conducted to evaluate the association of baseline variables, including age, sex, liver-related comorbidities, Charlson Comorbidity Index, tumor localization, and use of neoadjuvant therapy, along with hospital type and volume, with readmission status. Centers were divided into low and high volumes according to the cutoff of 26 cases/year. Logistic regression models were developed to determine whether the identified bivariate associations persisted after adjusting for the patient characteristics. The mortality rates during readmission and at 1 year postoperatively were also determined. RESULTS: Of 22,935 patients who underwent pancreatectomy, 9129 (39.3%) were readmitted within 6 months. Readmission rates by year did not vary over the study period, and mean readmissions occurred within 20 days after discharge. Multivariate analysis showed that male sex [odds ratio (OR) = 1.12], age >70 years (OR = 1.16), comorbidities (OR = 1.21), distal pancreatectomy (OR = 1.11), and major postoperative complications (OR = 1.37) were predictors of readmission. Interestingly, readmission and surgery in low-volume centers increased the risk of death at 1 year by a factor of 2.15 [(2.01-2.31), P < 0.001] and 1.31 [(1.17-1.47), P < 0.001], respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Readmission after pancreatectomy for cancer is high with an increased rate of 1-year mortality.

OBJECTIVE: To provide a nationwide description of postoperative outcomes and analysis of prognostic factors following adrenalectomy for metastases. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Adrenal glands are a common site of metastases in many malignancies. Diagnosisof adrenal metastases is on the rise, leading to an increasing number of patient candidates for surgery without consensual management. METHODS: We conducted a population-based study between January 2012 and December 2022 using the French national health data system (SNDS) and the Eurocrine® registry (NCT03410394). The first database exhaustively covers all procedures carried out in France, while the second provides more clinical information on procedures and tumor characteristics, based on the experience of 11 specialized centers. RESULTS: From the SNDS, we extracted 2,515 patients who underwent adrenalectomy for secondary malignancy and 307 from the Eurocrine® database. The most common primary malignancies were lung cancer (n=1,203, 47.8%) and renal cancer (n=555, 22.1%). One-year survival was 84.3% (n=2,120). Thirty-day mortality and morbidity rates were, respectively, 1.3% (n=32) and 29.9% (n=753, including planned ICU stays). Radiotherapy within the year before adrenalectomy was significantly associated with higher 30-day major complication rates (P=0.039). In the Eurocrine® database, the proportion of laparoscopic procedures reached 85.3% without impairing resection completeness (R0: 92.9%). Factors associated with poor overall survival were presence of extra-adrenal metastases (HR=0.64; P=0.031) and incomplete resection (≥R1; HR=0.41; P=0.015). CONCLUSION: The number of patients who can receive local treatment for adrenal metastases is rising, and adrenalectomy is more often minimally invasive and has a low morbidity rate. Subsequent research should evaluate which patients would benefit from adrenal surgery.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Addition of oxaliplatin-based hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in the treatment of peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin (CRPM) did not show any survival benefit in the PRODIGE 7 trial (P7). This study aimed to investigate whether perioperative outcomes after CRS alone for CRPM patients is mediated by hospital volume and to determine the effect of P7 on French practice for CRPM patients treated respectively with CRS alone and CRS/HIPEC. METHODS: Data from CRPM patients treated with CRS alone between 2013 and 2020 in France were collected through a national medical database. The study used a cutoff value of the annual CRS-alone caseload affecting the 90-day postoperative mortality (POM) determined from our previous study to define low-volume (LV) HIPEC and high-volume (HV) HIPEC centers. Perioperative outcomes were compared between no-HIPEC, LV-HIPEC, and HV-HIPEC centers. The trend between years and HIPEC rates was analyzed using the Cochrane-Armitage test. RESULTS: Data from 4159 procedures were analyzed. The patients treated in no-HIPEC and LV-HIPEC centers were older compared with HV-HIPEC centers (p < 0.0001) and had a higher Elixhauser comorbidity index (p < 0.0001) and less complex surgery (p < 0.0001). Whereas the major morbidity (MM) rate did not differ between groups (p = 0.79), the 90-day POM was lower in HV-HIPEC centers than in no-HIPEC and LV-HIPEC centers (5.4% vs 15% and 13.3%; p < 0.0001), with lower failure-to-rescue (FTR) (p < 0.0001). After P7, the CRS/HIPEC rate decreased drastically in Cancer centers (p < 0.001), whereas patients treated with CRS alone are still referred to expert centers. CONCLUSIONS: Centralization of CRS alone should improve patient selection as well as FTR and POM. After P7, CRS/HIPEC decreased mostly in Cancer centers, without any impact on the number of CRS-alone cases referred to expert centers.

BACKGROUND: Adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) improves the prognosis after pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) resection. However, previous studies have shown that a large proportion of patients do not receive or complete AC. This national study examined the risk factors for the omission or interruption of AC. METHODS: Data of all patients who underwent pancreatic surgery for PDAC in France between January 2012 and December 2017 were extracted from the French National Administrative Database. We considered "omission of adjuvant chemotherapy" (OAC) all patients who failed to receive any course of gemcitabine within 12 postoperative weeks and "interruption of AC" (IAC) was defined as less than 18 courses of AC. RESULTS: A total of 11 599 patients were included in this study. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was the most common procedure (76.3%), and 31% of the patients experienced major postoperative complications. OACs and IACs affected 42% and 68% of the patients, respectively. Ultimately, only 18.6% of the cohort completed AC. Patients who underwent surgery in a high-volume centers were less affected by postoperative complications, with no impact on the likelihood of receiving AC. Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥ 80 years, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) ≥ 4, and major complications were associated with OAC (OR = 2.19; CI95%[1.79-2.68]; OR = 1.75; CI95%[1.41-2.18] and OR = 2.37; CI95%[2.15-2.62] respectively). Moreover, age ≥ 80 years and CCI 2-3 or ≥ 4 were also independent risk factors for IAC (OR = 1.54, CI95%[1.1-2.15]; OR = 1.43, CI95%[1.21-1.68]; OR = 1.47, CI95%[1.02-2.12], respectively). CONCLUSION: Sequence surgery followed by chemotherapy is associated with a high dropout rate, especially in octogenarian and comorbid patients.

BACKGROUND: Data on clinically relevant post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (CR-PPH) are derived from series mostly focused on pancreatoduodenectomy, and data after distal pancreatectomy (DP) are scarce. METHODS: All non-extended DP performed from 2014 to 2018 were included. CR-PPH encompassed grade B and C PPH. Risk factors, management, and outcomes of CR-PPH were evaluated. RESULTS: Overall, 1188 patients were included, of which 561 (47.2 %) were operated on minimally invasively. Spleen-preserving DP was performed in 574 patients (48.4 %). Ninety-day mortality, severe morbidity and CR-POPF rates were 1.1 % (n = 13), 17.4 % (n = 196) and 15.5 % (n = 115), respectively. After a median interval of 8 days (range, 0-37), 65 patients (5.5 %) developed CR-PPH, including 28 grade B and 37 grade C. Reintervention was required in 57 patients (87.7 %). CR-PPH was associated with a significant increase of 90-day mortality, morbidity and hospital stay (p < 0.001). Upon multivariable analysis, prolonged operative time and co-existing POPF were independently associated with CR-PPH (p < 0.005) while a chronic use of antithrombotic agent trended towards an increase of CR-PPH (p = 0.081). As compared to CR-POPF, the failure-to-rescue rate in patients who developed CR-PPH was significantly higher (13.8 % vs. 1.3 %, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: CR-PPH after DP remains rare but significantly associated with an increased risk of 90-day mortality and failure-to-rescue.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the relevance of concomitant laparoscopic metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) and cholecystectomy. BACKGROUND: Because of the massive weight loss it induces, MBS is associated with an increase in the frequency of gallstones. However, no consensus yet exists on the risk-to-benefit ratio of a concomitant cholecystectomy (CC) during MBS to prevent long-term biliary complications. METHODS: This nationwide retrospective cohort research was conducted in 2 parts using information from a national administrative database (PMSI). The 90-day morbidity of MBS with or without CC was first compared in a matched trial (propensity score). Second, we observed medium-term biliary complication following MBS when no CC had been performed during MBS up to 9 years after MBS (minimum 18 months). RESULTS: Between 2013 and 2020, 289,627 patients had a sleeve gastrectomy (SG: 70%) or a gastric bypass (GBP: 30%). The principal indications of CC were symptomatic cholelithiasis (79.5%) or acute cholecystitis (3.6%). Prophylactic CC occurred only in 15.5% of the cases. In our matched-group analysis, we included 9323 patients in each arm. The complication rate at day 90 after surgery was greater in the CC arm [odds ratio=1.3 (1.2-1.5), P <0.001], independently of the reason of the CC. At 18 months, there was a 0.1% risk of symptomatic gallstone migration and a 0.08% risk of biliary pancreatitis. At 9 years, 20.5±0.52% of patients underwent an interval cholecystectomy. The likelihood of interval cholecystectomy decreased from 5.4% per year to 1.7% per year after the first 18 months the whole cohort, risk at 18 months of symptomatic gallstone migration was 0.1%, of pancreatitis 0.08%, and of angiocholitis 0.1%. CONCLUSION: CC during SG and GBP should be avoided. In the case of asymptomatic gallstones after MBS, prophylactic cholecystectomy should not be recommended.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcomes associated with esophageal perforation (EP) management at a national level and determine predictive factors of 90-day mortality (90dM), failure-to-rescue (FTR), and major morbidity (MM, Clavien-Dindo 3-4). BACKGROUND: EP remains a challenging clinical emergency. Previous population-based studies showed rates of 90dM up to 38.8% but were outdated or small-sized. METHODS: Data from patients admitted to hospitals with EP were extracted from the French medico-administrative database (2012-2021). Etiology, management strategies, and short and long-term outcomes were analyzed. A cutoff value of the annual EP management caseload affecting FTR was determined using the "Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector" method. Random effects logistic regression model was performed to assess independent predictors of 90dM, FTR, and MM. RESULTS: Among 4765 patients with EP, 90dM and FTR rates were 28.0% and 19.4%, respectively. Both remained stable during the study period. EP was spontaneous in 68.2%, due to esophageal cancer in 19.7%, iatrogenic postendoscopy in 7.3%, and due to foreign body ingestion in 4.7%. Primary management consisted of surgery (n = 1447,30.4%), endoscopy (n = 590,12.4%), isolated drainage (n = 336,7.0%), and conservative management (n = 2392,50.2%). After multivariate analysis, besides age and comorbidity, esophageal cancer was predictive of both 90dM and FTR. An annual threshold of ≥8 EP managed annually was associated with a reduced 90dM and FTR rate. In France, only some university hospitals fulfilled this condition. Furthermore, primary surgery was associated with a lower 90dDM and FTR rate despite an increase in MM. CONCLUSIONS: We provide evidence for the referral of EP to high-volume centers with multidisciplinary expertise. Surgery remains an effective treatment for EP.

OBJECTIVE: Defining robust and standardized outcome references for distal pancreatectomy (DP) by using Benchmark analysis. BACKGROUND: Outcomes after DP are recorded in medium or small-sized studies without standardized analysis. Therefore, the best results remain uncertain. METHODS: This multicenter study included all patients undergoing DP for resectable benign or malignant tumors in 21 French expert centers in pancreas surgery from 2014 to 2018. A low-risk cohort defined by no significant comorbidities was analyzed to establish 18 outcome benchmarks for DP. These values were tested in high risk, minimally invasive and benign tumor cohorts. RESULTS: A total of 1188 patients were identified and 749 low-risk patients were screened to establish Benchmark cut-offs. Therefore, Benchmark rate for mini-invasive approach was ≥36.8%. Benchmark cut-offs for postoperative mortality, major morbidity grade ≥3a and clinically significant pancreatic fistula rates were 0%, ≤27%, and ≤28%, respectively. The benchmark rate for readmission was ≤16%. For patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, cut-offs were ≥75%, ≥69.5%, and ≥66% for free resection margins (R0), 1-year disease-free survival and 3-year overall survival, respectively. The rate of mini-invasive approach in high-risk cohort was lower than the Benchmark cut-off (34.1% vs ≥36.8%). All Benchmark cut-offs were respected for benign tumor group. The proportion of benchmark cases was correlated to outcomes of DP. Centers with a majority of low-risk patients had worse results than those operating complex cases. CONCLUSION: This large-scale study is the first benchmark analysis of DP outcomes and provides robust and standardized data. This may allow for comparisons between surgeons, centers, studies, and surgical techniques.

BACKGROUND: Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated improved short-term outcomes of totally minimally invasive esophagectomy (TMIE) compared with open esophagectomy (OE); however, to what extent these outcomes can be extrapolated to a national level remains debatable. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate, on a nationwide basis, the short-term outcomes of TMIE and to analyze these results within the context of previously implemented hybrid minimally invasive esophagectomy (HMIE). METHODS: All consecutive patients who underwent a curative Ivor Lewis esophagectomy in France between 2017 and 2019 were included in this retrospective cohort study. The primary endpoint was to compare 90-day postoperative mortality (POM) between OE, HMIE, and TMIE, while secondary endpoints were defined as the rate of postoperative complications. A matched and multivariate analysis was adjusted for confounding factors. RESULTS: Overall, 2675 patients were included (1003 OE vs. 1498 HMIE vs. 174 TMIE). In every center where TMIE was performed, HMIE had been previously adopted. The matched 90-day POM rate in the TMIE group was significantly lower compared with the OE group (2.3% vs. 6.3%, p = 0.046) but not compared with the HMIE group (2.3% vs. 4.9%, p = 0.156). There was no significant difference between TMIE and OE, or TMIE and HMIE, regarding the 30-day fistula rate (21.8% vs. 17%, p = 0.176; and 21.8% vs. 21.3%, p = 0.88, respectively). TMIE was associated with a reduced rate of pulmonary complications compared with OE (33.9% vs. 44%, p = 0.027) and HMIE (33.9% vs. 42.8%, p = 0.05). Low-volume centers were identified as a negative predictive factor for 90-day POM (odds ratio 1.89, 95% confidence interval 1.3-2.75, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: TMIE is associated with a lower 90-day POM rate compared with OE and offers reduced rates of pulmonary complications compared with OE and HMIE. After previous adoption of the HMIE technique, TMIE can be safely implemented in high-volume centers nationwide.

PURPOSE: To compare the incidence and the safety outcomes associated with active stone removal procedure (ASRP) between neurological and non-neurological patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study was conducted using the data issued from the French National Health Data Base. All patients that have been hospitalized to undergo an ASRP between January 1 2012 and December 31 2018 were included and allocated to four neurological groups (multiple sclerosis, spinal dysraphism, paraplegia, tetraplegia) and one non-neurological group. The primary outcome was the rate of patients hospitalized at least once to undergo an ASRP over the study period. The secondary outcomes included the type of ASRP performed, the length of hospital stay, the rates of post-operative UTI, of early re-admission and re-treatments. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate odd ratios, the four neurological groups being compared to the non-neurological group. RESULTS: During the study period, 45,745,055 patients were hospitalised, with 151,850 of them presenting with an underlying neurological disease. Among the non-neurological patients, 0.89% underwent an ASRP, while 1.39% neurological patients did. Neurological patients presented with a lower rate of ESWL associated with a higher rate of PCNL, while the length of hospital stay, the rate of post-operative UTI, of early re-admission and of re-treatment were systematically increased (p < 0.001), when compared to non-neurological patients, regardless of the type of ASRP considered. CONCLUSIONS: The results presented here confirm and clarify the incidence and the safety outcomes associated with ASRP within the neurological population and advocate for the emergence of a dedicated research field focusing on neuro-urolithiasis.

BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence that failure to rescue (FTR) is an important factor of postoperative mortality (POM) after rectal cancer surgery and surgical approach modified post-operative outcomes. However, the impact of laparoscopy on FTR after proctectomy for rectal cancer remains unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the rates of postoperative complications and FTR after laparoscopy vs open proctectomy for cancer. METHODS: All patients who underwent proctectomy for rectal cancer between 2012 and 2016 were included. FTR was defined as the 90-day POM rate among patients with major complications. Outcomes of patients undergoing open or laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery were compared after 1:1 propensity score matching by year of surgery, hospital volume, sex, age, Charlson score, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, tumor localization and type of anastomosis. RESULTS: Overall, 44,536 patients who underwent proctectomy were included, 7043 of whom (15.8%) developed major complications. The rates of major complications, POM and FTR were significantly higher in open compared to laparoscopic procedure (major complications: 19.2% vs 13.7%, p < 0.001; POM: 5.4% vs 2.3%, p < 0.001; FTR: 13.6% vs 8.3%, p < 0.001; respectively). After matching, open and laparoscopic groups were comparable. Multivariate analysis showed that age, Charlson score, sphincter-preserving procedure and surgical approach were predictive factors for FTR. Open proctectomy was found to be a risk factor for FTR (OR 1.342, IC95% [1.066; 1.689], p = 0.012) compared to laparoscopic procedure. CONCLUSION: When complications occurred, patients operated on by open proctectomy were more likely to die.

INTRODUCTION: Even though France was severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, few studies have addressed the dynamics of the first wave on an exhaustive, nationwide basis. We aimed to describe the geographic and temporal distribution of COVID-19 hospitalisations and in-hospital mortality in France during the first epidemic wave, from January to June 2020. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used the French national database for all acute care hospital admissions (PMSI). Contiguous stays were assembled into "care sequences" for analysis so as to limit bias when estimating incidence and mortality. The incidence rate and its evolution, mortality and hospitalized case fatality rates (HCFR) were compared between geographic areas. Correlations between incidence, mortality, and HCFR were analyzed. RESULTS: During the first epidemic wave, 98,366 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized (incidence rate of 146.7/100,000 inhabitants), of whom 18.8% died. The median age was 71 years, the male/female ratio was 1.16, and 26.2% of patients required critical care. The Paris area and the North-East region were the first and most severely hit areas. A rapid increase of incidence and mortality within 4 weeks was followed by a slow decrease over 10 weeks. HCFRs decreased during the study period, and correlated positively with incidence and mortality rates. DISCUSSION: By detailing the geographical and temporal evolution of the COVID-19 epidemic in France, this study revealed major interregional differences, which were otherwise undetectable in global analyses. The precision afforded should help to understand the dynamics of future epidemic waves.

National and international guidelines about thyroid surgery seem to be moving more and more towards less radical surgical procedures but everyday practice does not seem to always align with them. We describe for the first time the role of non-surgical parameters in the surgeon's choice for thyroid surgery. OBJECTIVE: The ain of this study was to describe thyroid surgery and to identify the factors leading to either a total or a partial thyroidectomy regardless of the severity of the thyroid disease. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: National and international guidelines about thyroid surgery seem to be moving more and more toward less radical surgical procedures but everyday practice does not seem to always align with them. METHODS: We based this nationwide retrospective cohort study on a national database that compiles discharge abstracts for every admission for thyroidectomy to French acute healthcare facilities (PMSI database 2010 to 2019). RESULTS: In this study, 375,810 patients (male: 23%; age = 53â±â15 years) had a thyroidectomy (partial: 28%) for cancer (17%), hyperthyroidism (16%), nonfunctioning goiter (64%), or other (3%). We noticed a global trend toward more partial thyroidectomy (P < 0.001) with a significant increase in the proportion of lobectomy in the post-ATA recommendations' period (P < 0.001) as well as in the "French Levothyrox crisis" period, in which we saw an unexpected rise of adverse events notifications associated with the marketing of a new formula of Levothyrox (P < 0.001) amid widespread media coverage. In a multivariate analysis, we also identified that complete resection was more frequently performed in centers with a caseload >40/year [P < 0.001, odds ratio (OR) = 1.48], for obese patients (body mass index >30âkg/m2; P < 0.001, OR = 1.42), and according to the indication of surgery (OR benign = 1, OR cancer = 2.25, OR hyperthyroidism = 4.13). CONCLUSION: We describe for the first time the role of non-surgical parameters in the surgeon's choice for thyroid surgery.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate at a national level the postoperative mortality (POM), major morbidity (MM) and failure-to-rescue (FTR) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) across time and according to hospital-volume. BACKGROUND: CRS/HIPEC is an effective therapeutic strategy commonly used to treat peritoneal surface malignancies. However, this aggressive approach has the reputation to be associated with a high POM and MM. METHODS: All patients treated with CRS/HIPEC between 2009 and 2018 in France were identified through a national medical database. Patients and perioperative outcomes were analyzed. A cut-off value of the annual CRS/HIPEC caseload affecting the 90-day POM was calculated using the Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector method. A multivariable logistic model was used to identify factors mediating 90-day POM. RESULTS: A total of 7476 CRS/HIPEC were analyzed. Median age was 59 years with a mean Elixhauser comorbidity index of 3.1, both increasing over time (P < 0.001). Ninety-day POM was 2.6%. MM occurred in 44.2% with a FTR rate of 5.1%. The threshold of CRS/HIPEC number per center per year above which the 90-day POM was significantly reduced was 45 (3.2% vs 1.9%, P = 0.01). High-volume centers had more extended surgery (P < 0.001) with increased MM (55.8% vs 40.4%, P < 0.001) but lower FTR (3.1% vs 6.3%, P = 0.001). After multivariate analysis, independent factors associated with 90-day POM were: age >70 years (P = 0.002), Elixhauser comorbidity index ≥8 (P = 0.006), lower gastro-intestinal origin, (P < 0.010), MM (P < 0.001), and <45 procedures/yr (P = 0.002). CONCLUSION: In France, CRS/HIPEC is a safe procedure with an acceptable 90-day POM that could even be improved through centralization in high-volume centers.

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to analyze the outcomes of interhospital transfer (IHT) patients after pancreatectomy, describe the characteristics of transferring hospitals, and determine the risk factors of transfer and mortality in IHT patients. BACKGROUND: Implementation of the centralization process is complex and currently unrealized in France. Alternatively, centralization of patients with postoperative complications to high volume centers could reduce postoperative mortality (POM) and failure to rescue (FTR). METHODS: All patients undergoing pancreatectomy for cancer between 2012 and 2018 were included. Hospitals' and patients' characteristics were analyzed to determine predictive factors for transfer and FTR. POM was defined as death occurring during the hospital stay and FTR as POM rate among patients with major complications. RESULTS: Overall, 19,938 patients who underwent pancreatectomy were included, 1164 (5.8%) of whom were transferred. IHT patients were mostly originated from low volume hospitals (60.3% vs 39.7%), from facilities without intensive care unit (46.9% vs 22.4%) or interventional radiology (22.8% vs 12.8%). Among IHT patients, 51% underwent reoperation before transfer and 34.9% experienced hemorrhage complications. The POM was 5.2% and varied significantly between transfer and nontransfer patients (13.3% vs 4.7%, P < 0.001). Patients who experienced major complications after pancreatectomy in low volume hospitals had greater odds of being transferred (Odds Ratio (OR) = 2.46, confidence intervals (CI)95%[1.734; 3.516], P < 0.001). Also, transfer (OR = 2.17, CI95%[1.814; 2.709], P < 0.001) and especially transfer after pancreatectomy in low volume centers (OR = 3.76, CI95%[2.83; 5.01], P < 0.001) were associated with increased FTR rates. CONCLUSIONS: Transfers after pancreatectomy were associated with high rates of FTR, especially for patients undergoing surgery in low volume hospitals. Local expertise, resources, and volume of hospitals are mandatory to provide appropriate care after pancreatectomy.

BACKGROUND: Surgical removal of hyperfunctional parathyroid gland is the definitive treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Postoperative follow-up shows variability in persistent/recurrent disease rate throughout different centers. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the incidence of redo surgery after targeted parathyroidectomy for pHPT. METHODS: We performed a nationwide retrospective cohort study on the "Programme de Medicalisation des Systemes d'Information," the French administrative database that collects information on all healthcare facilities' discharges. We extracted data from 2009 to 2018 for all patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for pHPT between January 2011 to December 2016. The primary outcome was the reoperation rate within 2 years since first surgery. Patients who had a first attempt of surgery within the previous 24 months, familial hyperparathyroidism, multiglandular disease, and renal failure were excluded. Results were adjusted according to sex and the Elixhauser Comorbidity Index. Operative volume thresholds to define high-volume centers were achieved by the Chi-Squared Automatic Interaction Detector method. RESULTS: In the study period, 13,247 patients (median age 63, F/M=3.6) had a focused parathyroidectomy by open (88.7%) or endoscopic approach. Need of remedial surgery was 2.8% at 2 years. In multivariate analysis, factors predicting redo surgery were: cardiac history (P=0.008), obesity (P=0.048), endoscopic approach (P=0.005), and low-volume center (P<0.001). We evaluated that an annual caseload of 31 parathyroidectomies was the best threshold to discriminate high-volume centers and carries the lowest morbidity/failure rate. CONCLUSION: Although focused parathyroidectomy represents a standardized operation, cure rate is strongly associated with annual hospital caseload, type of procedure (endoscopic), and patients' features (obesity, cardiac history). Patients with risk factors for redo surgery should be considered for an open surgery in a high-volume center.

BACKGROUND: It remains to be established whether centralization to high volume centers is essential for all patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. The aims of this study were to identify the optimal cut-off volume to optimize patient outcomes and to determine if patient comorbidity affected the volume-outcome relationship. METHODS: Patients undergoing pancreatectomy from 2012 to 2015 were retrospectively identified (n = 12 333) in the French nationwide database. The 90-day Post-Operative Mortality (POM) was analyzed according to hospital volume of pancreatectomy (very low:<10, Low:10-19, High:20-49 and very high:≥50 resections/year) and Charlson Comorbidity Index (ChCI). RESULTS: The overall POM was 6.9%. The cut-off of 20 pancreatic resections per year was identified as predictor of POM. Compared to high volume centers, POM was significantly higher in low and very low volume centers whatever the ChCl. Regarding surgical procedures, there was a significant decrease in POM with increasing hospital volume only after pancreaticoduodenectomy regardless of the ChCl. On multivariable analysis, low and very low volume centers were independently associated with increased mortality rates. CONCLUSION: The optimal cut-off of annual caseload was 20 pancreatic resections. POM following pancreaticoduodenectomy is high in low and very low volume centers independently of ChCl, suggesting that this procedure should be centralized.

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to examine whether the improved outcome of a digestive cancer procedure in high-volume hospitals is specific or correlates with that of other digestive cancer procedures, and determine if the discriminant cut-off of hospital volume may influence postoperative mortality (POM) regardless of the procedure. BACKGROUND: Performing complex surgeries in tertiary centers is associated with improved outcome. However, the association between POM and hospital volume of nonspecific procedures is unknown. METHODS: Patients who underwent colectomy, proctectomy, esophagectomy, gastrectomy, pancreatectomy, and hepatectomy for cancer between 2012 and 2017 were identified in the French nationwide database. Chi-square automatic interaction detector was used to identify the cut-off values of the annual caseload affecting the 90-day POM. A common threshold was estimated by minimization of chi-square distance taking into account the specific mortality of each procedure. RESULTS: Overall, 225,752 patients were identified. Hospitals were categorized according to the procedure volume (colectomy: ≥80âcases/yr, proctectomy: ≥35/yr, esophagectomy: ≥41/yr, gastrectomy: ≥16/yr, pancreatectomy: ≥26/yr, and hepatectomy: ≥76/yr). The overall 90-day POM was 5.1% and varied significantly with volume. The benefits of high volume were transferable across procedures. High-volume hospitals for colorectal cancer surgery significantly influenced the risk of death after hepatectomy (P < 0.001) and pancreatectomy (P < 0.001). The common threshold for all procedures that influenced POM was 199âcases/yr (odds ratio 1.29, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: In digestive cancer surgery, the volume-POM relationship of one procedure was associated with the volume of other procedures. Thus, tertiary hospitals should be defined according to the common threshold of different procedures.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the determinants of postoperative outcomes of adrenal surgery in order to build a proposition for healthcare improvement. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Adrenalectomy is the recommended treatment for many benign and malignant adrenal diseases. Postoperative outcomes vary widely in the literature and their determinants remain ill-defined. METHODS: We based this retrospective cohort study on the "Programme de médicalisation des systèmes d'information" (PMSI), a national database that compiles discharge abstracts for every admission to French acute health care facilities. Diagnoses identified during the admission were coded according to the French adaptation of the 10th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). PMSI abstracts for all patients discharged between January 2012 and December 2017 were extracted. We built an Adrenalectomy-risk score (ARS) from logistic regression and calculated operative volume and ARS thresholds defining high-volume centers and high-risk patients with the CHAID method. RESULTS: During the 6-year period of the study, 9820 patients (age: 55â±â14; F/M = 1.1) were operated upon for adrenal disease. The global 90-day mortality rate was 1.5% (n = 147). In multivariate analysis, postoperative mortality was independently associated with age ≥75 years [odds ratio (OR): 5.3; P < 0.001], malignancy (OR: 2.5; P < 0.001), Charlson score ≥2 (OR: 3.6; P < 0.001), open procedure (OR: 3.2; P < 0.001), reoperation (OR: 4.5; P < 0.001), and low hospital caseload (OR: 1.8; P = 0.010). We determined that a caseload of 32âpatients/year was the best threshold to define high-volume centers and 20 ARS points the best threshold to define high-risk patients. CONCLUSION: High-risk patients should be referred to high-volume centers for adrenal surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of hospital volume on failure-to-rescue (FTR) after pancreatectomy in France. BACKGROUND: There are growing evidences that FTR is an important source of postoperative mortality (POM) after pancreatectomy. However, few studies have analyzed the volume-FTR relationship following pancreatic surgery. METHODS: All patients undergoing pancreatectomy between 2012 and 2015 were included. FTR is defined as the 90-day POM rate among patients with major complications. According to the spline model, the critical cutoff was 20 resections per year and hospitals were divided into low (<10âresections/an), intermediate (11-19âresections/yr), and high volume centers (≥20âresections/yr). RESULTS: Overall, 12,333 patients who underwent pancreatectomy were identified. The POM was 6.9% and decreased significantly with increased hospital volume. The rate of FTR was 14.5% and varied significantly with hospital volume (18.3% in low hospital volume vs 11.9% in high hospital volume, P < 0.001), age (P < 0.001) and ChCl (CCl0-2: 11.5%, ChCl3: 13%, CCl ≥4:18.6%; P < 0.001). FTR for renal failure was the highest of all complications (40.2%), followed by postoperative shock (36.4%) and cardiac complications (35.1%). The FTR was significantly higher in low and intermediate compared with high volume hospitals for shock, digestive, and thromboembolic complications and reoperation. In multivariable analysis, intermediate (OR = 1.265, CI95%[1.103-1.701], P = 0.045) and low volume centers (OR = 1.536, CI95%[1.165-2.025], P = 0.002) were independently associated with increased FTR rates. CONCLUSION: FTR after pancreatectomy is high and directly correlated to hospital volume, highlighting variability in the management of postoperative complications. Measurement of the FTR rate should become a standard for quality improvement programs.
