Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the impact of textbook outcome (TO) achievement on survival post-liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and explore the associated factors.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 330 patients diagnosed with HCC who underwent initial liver resection at our hospital between January 2011 and December 2019. We also investigated the achievement rates of five TOs and sub-analyzed the relationship between them and malnutrition. The patient's nutritional status was classified following the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria.
Results: The TO achievement rate was 72.7%. In the prognostic analysis, the TO-achieving group showed significantly longer overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Significant differences in age, body mass index, weight loss, muscle mass, serum aspartate aminotransferase level, serum protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II, tumor characteristics, intraoperative blood loss, perioperative transfusion, and nutritional status were found between the groups.
Conclusions: TO achievement is associated with OS and RFS post-liver resection for HCC. The TO is valuable for evaluating treatment quality in liver resection. Additionally, malnutrition graded following the GLIM criteria, age, tumor stage, and intraoperative blood loss are independent factors for achieving a TO post-liver resection for HCC.
期刊介绍:
Langenbeck''s Archives of Surgery aims to publish the best results in the field of clinical surgery and basic surgical research. The main focus is on providing the highest level of clinical research and clinically relevant basic research. The journal, published exclusively in English, will provide an international discussion forum for the controlled results of clinical surgery. The majority of published contributions will be original articles reporting on clinical data from general and visceral surgery, while endocrine surgery will also be covered. Papers on basic surgical principles from the fields of traumatology, vascular and thoracic surgery are also welcome. Evidence-based medicine is an important criterion for the acceptance of papers.
