BackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of postoperative complication and its etiology on long-term survival for gastric cancer (GC) patients with curative resection.MethodsFrom January 2009 to December 2014, a total of 1,667 GC patients who had undergone curative gastrectomy were analyzed. Patients with severe complications (SCs) (Clavien–Dindo grade III or higher complications or those causing a hospital stay of 15 days or longer) were separated into a “complication group.” Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to reveal the relationship between postoperative complications and long-term survival. A 2:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance baseline parameters between the two groups.ResultsSCs were diagnosed in 168 (10.08%) patients, including different etiology: infectious complications (ICs) in 111 (6.66%) and non-infectious complications (NICs) in 71 (4.26%) patients. Multivariate analysis showed that presence of SCs (P=0.001) was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival, and further analysis by complication type demonstrated that the deteriorated overall survival was mainly caused by ICs (P=0.004) rather than NICs (P=0.068). After PSM, patients with SCs (p=0.002) still had a significantly decreased overall survival, and the presence of ICs (P=0.002) rather than NICs (P=0.067) showed a negative impact on long-term survival.ConclusionSerious complications, particularly of an infectious type, may have a negative impact on overall survival of GC patients. However, additional multicenter prospective studies with larger sample size are required to verify this issue.

Many factors have been reported to affect the long-term survival of gastric carcinoma patients after gastrectomy; the present study took the first attempt to find out the potential role of weekday carried out surgery in the postoperative prognosis of gastric cancer patients. 463 gastric cancer patients have been followed up successfully. Pearsonχ2test was used for univariate analyses. Survival curves were constructed by using Kaplan-Meier method and evaluated by using the log-rank test. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to find out the risk factors, and subgroup analysis was conducted to rule out confounding factors. We found that the patients who underwent gastrectomy on the later weekday (Wednesday–Friday) more easily suffered from a higher postoperative morbidity. Weekday of surgery was one of the independent indicators for the prognosis of patients after gastric cancer surgery. However, the role of weekday of surgery was significantly weakened in the complications group. In conclusion, surgery performed in the later weekday was more likely to lead to increased postoperative complications and an unfavorable role in prognosis of Chinese gastric cancer patients after curative gastrectomy.

Abstract BackgroundThis study was aimed to evaluate the impact of postoperative complications (POCs) on long-term survival for gastric cancer (GC) patients with curative resection.MethodsFrom January 2009 to December 2014, a total of 1667 GC patients with curative gastrectomy were analyzed. Patients with any complications Clavien–Dindo (CD) grade II or higher were divided into complication group. Independent risk factors for the development of POCs and the relationship between POCs and long-term survival (excluding death within 90 days after surgery) were analyzed.ResultsOverall POCs CD ≥ 2 were diagnosed in 285 (17.10%) patients including infectious complications (ICs) in 231 (13.9%) and noninfectious complications (NICs) in 78 (4.68%) patients. Age ≥ 65 (P = 0.003), presence of comorbidity (P = 0.019), extensive lymphadenectomy (P = 0.027) and perioperative blood transfusion (P = 0.040) were independent risk factors of POCs. Multivariate analysis identified that presence of POCs (P < 0.001) was an independent prognostic factor and further analysis by complication type demonstrated that the deteriorated overall survival was mainly caused by ICs (P = 0.007) rather than NICs (P = 0.075), moreover, among all complications, pulmonary infection (P < 0.001) was the only significant prognostic factor.ConclusionPOCs may be an independent prognostic factor for long-term survival of GC patients and the risk is mainly driven by ICs, particular pulmonary infection.
