BackgroundAcute cholecystitis presents in a spectrum of severity, where acute disease may be complicated by severe inflammation, gangrene, and perforation. The goal of this study is to outline an evidence-based grading scale that predicts patient outcomes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).MethodsA retrospective review of all patients with a preoperative diagnosis of acute cholecystitis who underwent LC from August 2011 until June 2015 at a tertiary-level hospital was performed. Patients who underwent elective cholecystectomy, incidental cholecystectomy, a planned open cholecystectomy, had gallstone pancreatitis or choledocholithiasis, and those admitted to a non-surgical service were excluded. Severity of disease was obtained from operative and pathology reports, and patients were classified according to the following grading scale:Grade I: symptomatic cholelithiasis.Grade II: acute/chronic cholecystitis.Grade III: gangrenous/necrotizing cholecystitis.Grade IV: gallbladder perforation or abscess.The groups were compared on age, gender, body mass index, severity of gallbladder disease, presence of preoperative systemic inflammatory response syndrome, hospital length of stay, length of operation, complications within 30 days, conversion to open rate, and cost of hospitalization.ResultsDuring the study period, 1252 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were analyzed; 677 met inclusion criteria. The most common grade was grade 2, which was present in 80% of patients, followed by grade 3, which was found in 16% of patients. Grade 4 cholecystitis occurred in 1.2% of patients and grade 1 occurred in 3.2% of patients. There were statistically significant increases in age, presence of preoperative systemic inflammatory response syndrome, hospital length of stay, conversion to open rate, cost of hospitalization, and length of operation with increased cholecystitis grade.ConclusionsThe proposed grading scale is an accurate predictor of duration of operation, conversion to open rate, hospital length of stay, and cost of hospitalization.Level of evidenceIIIStudy typePrognostic

Abstract Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease caused by premature activation of the zymogen, which could lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and organ failure. Currently, some clinical multi-factor scoring systems have already been used to predict the occurrence of SAP, However, all these methods are complicated and difficult to obtain the first data.Methods: Patients diagnosed with AP from January 2013 to December 2018 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into the normal serum HBDH levels group (n-HBDH group) and the high serum HBDH levels group (h-HBDH group) according to the HBDH ≥ 182U/L after admission. The demographic parameters, laboratory data and the severity of AP in the two groups were compared. The receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the efficacy of serum HBDH in predicting persistent organ failure and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).Results: A total of 260 AP patients were enrolled, including 176 cases in the n-HBDH group and 84 cases in the h-HBDH group. The incidence of SIRS and organ failure in the h-HBDH group were significantly higher than those in n-HBDH group (both P < 0.001). In addition, the serum HBDH levels were positively correlated with Atlanta classification, Ranson score, and BISAP score (all P < 0.05). ROC analysis showed that a serum HBDH cut-off point of 195.0 U/L had optimal predictive value for the development of persistent organ failure (AUC = 77.8%) and 166.5 U/L for the development of SIRS (AUC = 72.4%).Conclusion: The elevated serum HBDH in early stage of AP is closely related to the adverse prognosis of AP patients, which can be used as a potential early biomarker for the severity of AP.

Background: Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) is a generalized inflammatory state linked to a release of various pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and associated with fibrin deposition, platelet aggregation, and coagulopathies. Although SIRS is associated with various inflammatory and ischemic conditions, its prevalence and impact on patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has not been extensively studied. Methods: A retrospective cross sectional study was used to look at the prevalence of SIRS and its impact on outcome in AIS patients treated with IV tPA between 2009-2011 at our tertiary care center. SIRS was diagnosed if two or more of the following were present: temperature < 36°C or > 38°C, heart rate > 90/min, respiratory rate >20/min or PaCO 2 <32 mmHg and WBC count <4000/mm 3 or >12000/mm 3 or 10% bands. Patients meeting the SIRS criteria for at least 24h were included in the study. Patients with signs of active infection such as pneumonia, UTI, bacteremia, and sinusitis or deep venous thrombosis were excluded from the study. The discharge modified Rankin score (mRS) was used to compare the short-term outcomes between patients with and without SIRS. An mRS of 4-6 was used to define poor functional outcome. Results: Out of the 212 patients screened, 44 met the SIRS criteria (21%). The median NIHSS for SIRS patients was 9 (range 0-32). SIRS patients were more likely to have a longer length of stay than non-SIRS patients (5 vs. 3 days; p<0.0001). Patients with SIRS had worse functional outcomes compared to patients without SIRS (OR=2.824, 95% CI, 1.358 - 5.871, p=0.0054). Adjusting for pre-tPA NIHSS, age and race, SIRS remained a predictor of poor outcome (OR= 2.581, 95% CI, 1.163 - 5.727, p=0.0197). Presence of SIRS did not have a significant effect upon in-hospital mortality (OR=1.978, 95% CI, 0.774 - 5.057, p=0.1545). Conclusions: One out of five AIS patients treated with IV tPA developed SIRS. The presence of SIRS is associated with poor short-term functional outcomes and prolonged length of stay.

The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is the leading cause of morbidity & mortality in the critically ill. It is associated with a 50% reduction in 5 year life expectancy. SIRS is defined as 2 of the following criteria: heart rate >90, respiratory rate >20 or pCO 2 <4.3kPa, temperature <36 or >38°C, white cell count <4 or >12 x10 9 /l. These criteria are used to stratify patients for specific therapies & in research to define interventional groups. Cardiac surgery is associated with systemic inflammation. The validity of the SIRS criteria have never been formally evaluated post cardiac surgery. We undertook to describe the incidence of SIRS post cardiac surgery & relate this to outcome. Methods: We retrospectively analysed prospectively collected data from 2764 consecutive admissions following cardiac surgery (coronary bypass grafting 1425, valve surgery 763, combined procedure 252, other 324). The number of criteria met simultaneously within 1 hour epochs was recorded for the entire admissions. Results: 96.4%, 57.9% & 12.2% of patients met at least 2, 3 or 4 criteria respectively within 24hrs of admission. The temperature criterion was least often fulfilled. ICU mortality was 2.67%. Length of stay exceeded 3 days in 18.5% of patients. The capacity of the criteria to predict mortality & prolonged ICU stay is presented in the table . Discussion: Nearly all patients fulfilled the standard 2 criteria definition of SIRS within 24hrs of admission. This definition does not adequately define the subgroup of patients with greater systemic inflammation, mortality or length of stay. Thus, some clinical manifestations of inflammation are very common following cardiac surgery, although not necessarily prognostic. By contrast, the presence of 3 or more criteria was more discriminatory of death & prolonged ICU stay. We propose that 3 or more SIRS criteria is a more appropriate threshold that defines those patients with clinically significant inflammation post cardiac surgery.
