Abstract Background Perioperative anesthetic management may affect long-term outcome after cancer surgery. This study aimed to investigate the effect of perioperative glucocorticoids on long-term survival in patients after radical resection for pancreatic cancer.Methods In this retrospective cohort study, patients who underwent radical resection for pancreatic cancer from January 2005 to December 2016 were recruited. Baseline and perioperative data including use of glucocorticoids for prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting were collected. Patients were followed up for tumor recurrence and survival. The primary outcome was the overall survival (OS); the secondary outcome was the recurrence-free survival (RFS). A multivariable Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the influence of perioperative glucocorticoid use on OS and RFS after correction for confounding factors.Results A total of 215 patients after radical surgery for pancreatic cancer were included in the study; of these, 112 received perioperative glucocorticoids and 103 did not. Patients were followed up for a median of 74.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 68.3-79.7). Both OS and RFS were significantly longer in patients with glucocorticoids than in those without (for OS: median 19.7 months [95% CI 12.3-36.2] vs. 13.9 months [8.0-23.9], P=0.001; for RFS: 12.0 months [6.0-28.0] vs. 6.9 months [4.2-17.0], P=0.002). After correction for confounding factors, perioperative glucocorticoids were significantly associated with prolonged OS (HR 0.692, 95% CI 0.499-0.959, P=0.027) and RFS (HR 0.634, 95% CI 0.459-0.878, P=0.006).Conclusions Perioperative use of low-dose glucocorticoids may improve long-term survival in patients undergoing radical surgery for pancreatic cancer.

Cardiovascular Morbidity And Mortality

Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is associated with infection, cardiovascular morbidity, and mortality. A retrospective cohort study involving patients who underwent renal transplantation in a transplantation center in Taiwan from January 2000 to December 2018 was conducted to investigate the incidence and risk factors of PTDM and long-term patient and graft survival rates. High age (45–65 vs. <45 years, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 2.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.64–5.13, p < 0.001), high body mass index (>27 vs. <24 kg/m2, aOR = 5.35, 95% CI = 2.75–10.42, p < 0.001), and deceased organ donor (cadaveric vs. living, aOR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.03–3.93, p = 0.04) were the three most important risk factors for the development of PTDM. The cumulative survival rate of patients and allografts was higher in patients without PTDM than in those with PTDM (p = 0.007 and 0.041, respectively). Concurrent use of calcineurin inhibitors and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTORis) decreased the risk of PTDM (tacrolimus vs. tacrolimus with mTORi, aOR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.14–0.55, p < 0.001). Investigating PTDM risk factors before and modifying immunosuppressant regimens after transplantation may effectively prevent PTDM development.
