Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate peri- and postoperative complications in severely comorbid patients undergoing early surgery for cholecystitis.
Methods: Data for 32,463 patients who had emergency surgery for cholecystitis from the Swedish Cholecystectomy Registry, National Patient Register, National Prescribed Drug Register and the National Cause of Death Register were used. The odds ratios (OR) for complications were calculated using logistic regression. Specific postoperative complications were assessed for severely comorbid (ASA3) versus healthy (ASA1-2) patients.
Results: It was more common with perioperative (OR 1.24, 95 % confidence interval 1.04-1.48) and postoperative complications (OR 1.21, 95 % confidence interval 1.13-1.3) in ASA3 than ASA1-2. The OR for postoperative complications in ASA3 remained stable in subgroup analyses of age >70, >5 days wait time and laparoscopic surgery. The OR for postoperative complications in ASA3 patients undergoing open surgery was 1.12 (95 % confidence interval 0.96-1.32). The complications that increased most in severely comorbid patients were bile leakage, bleeding and infection. The OR for severe complications (requiring intervention or ICU admission) was 1.69 (95 % confidence interval 1.47-1.94) in ASA3 versus ASA1-2.
Conclusion: ASA3 patients had an increased risk of postoperative complications. Better perioperative care may reduce the risk for these patients.
期刊介绍:
HPB is an international forum for clinical, scientific and educational communication.
Twelve issues a year bring the reader leading articles, expert reviews, original articles, images, editorials, and reader correspondence encompassing all aspects of benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease and its management. HPB features relevant aspects of clinical and translational research and practice.
Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges faced in the management of cancer involving the liver, biliary system and pancreas. While surgical oncology represents a large part of HPB practice, submission of manuscripts relating to liver and pancreas transplantation, the treatment of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and those relating to hepatobiliary infection and inflammation are also welcomed. There will be a focus on developing a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, radiological interventions and surgical techniques being strongly represented. HPB welcomes submission of manuscripts in all these areas and in scientific focused research that has clear clinical relevance to HPB surgical practice.
HPB aims to help its readers - surgeons, physicians, radiologists and basic scientists - to develop their knowledge and practice. HPB will be of interest to specialists involved in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease however will also inform those working in related fields.
