Metabolic Equivalent Of Task

Abstract Purpose The Metabolic equivalent of task (MET) score is used in patients’ preoperative functional capacity assessment. It is commonly thought that patients with a higher MET score will have better postoperative outcomes than patients with a lower MET score. However, such a link remains the subject of debate and is yet unvalidated in major urological surgery. This study aimed to explore the association of patients’ MET score with their postoperative outcomes following radical cystectomy. Methods We used records-linkage methodology with unique identifiers (Community Health Index/hospital number) and electronic databases to assess postoperative outcomes of patients who had underwent radical cystectomies between 2015 and 2020. The outcome measure was patients’ length of hospital stay. This was compared with multiple basic characteristics such as age, sex, MET score and comorbid conditions. A MET score of less than four (< 4) is taken as the threshold for a poor functional capacity. We conducted unadjusted and adjusted Cox regression analyses for time to discharge against MET score. Results A total of 126 patients were included in the analysis. Mean age on date of operation was 66.2 (SD 12.2) years and 49 (38.9%) were female. A lower MET score was associated with a statistically significant lower time-dependent risk of hospital discharge (i.e. longer hospital stay) when adjusted for covariates (HR 0.224; 95% CI 0.077–0.652; p = 0.006). Older age (adjusted HR 0.531; 95% CI 0.332–0.848; p = 0.008) and postoperative complications (adjusted HR 0.503; 95% CI 0.323–0.848; p = 0.002) were also found to be associated with longer hospital stay. Other comorbid conditions, BMI, disease staging and 30-day all-cause mortality were statistically insignificant. Conclusion A lower MET score in this cohort of patients was associated with a longer hospital stay length following radical cystectomy with urinary diversion.

Abstract Background Our aim was to examine whether the length of stay, hospital charges and in-hospital mortality attributable to healthcare- and community-associated infections due to antimicrobial-resistant bacteria were higher compared with those due to susceptible bacteria in the Lebanese healthcare settings using different methodology of analysis from the payer perspective . Methods We performed a multi-centre prospective cohort study in ten hospitals across Lebanon. The sample size consisted of 1289 patients with documented healthcare-associated infection (HAI) or community-associated infection (CAI). We conducted three separate analysis to adjust for confounders and time-dependent bias: (1) Post-HAIs in which we included the excess LOS and hospital charges incurred after infection and (2) Matched cohort, in which we matched the patients based on propensity score estimates (3) The conventional method, in which we considered the entire hospital stay and allocated charges attributable to CAI. The linear regression models accounted for multiple confounders. Results HAIs and CAIs with resistant versus susceptible bacteria were associated with a significant excess length of hospital stay (2.69 days [95% CI,1.5–3.9]; p < 0.001) and (2.2 days [95% CI,1.2–3.3]; p < 0.001) and resulted in additional hospital charges ($1807 [95% CI, 1046–2569]; p < 0.001) and ($889 [95% CI, 378–1400]; p = 0.001) respectively. Compared with the post-HAIs analysis, the matched cohort method showed a reduction by 26 and 13% in hospital charges and LOS estimates respectively. Infections with resistant bacteria did not decrease the time to in-hospital mortality, for both healthcare- or community-associated infections. Resistant cases in the post-HAIs analysis showed a significantly higher risk of in-hospital mortality (odds ratio, 0.517 [95% CI, 0.327–0.820]; p = 0.05). Conclusion This is the first nationwide study that quantifies the healthcare costs of antimicrobial resistance in Lebanon. For cases with HAIs, matched cohort analysis showed more conservative estimates compared with post-HAIs method. The differences in estimates highlight the need for a unified methodology to estimate the burden of antimicrobial resistance in order to accurately advise health policy makers and prioritize resources expenditure.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare complications after radical cystectomy in patients aged ≥75 years. Materials and Methods: 251 patients aged 75-95 years (median 79) underwent radical cystectomy between 2000 and 2012 at four institutions. The patients were divided into two groups: ≥75-84 years of age (group 1) versus ≥85 years of age (group 2). Comorbidities, body mass index, and complications were obtained retrospectively, except at the Central Hospital of Bolzano and Weill Cornell Medical Center, which collected data prospectively. Cancer-specific survival, overall mortality, hospital stay, clinical outcome and complications were assessed. Complications were categorized using the Clavien-Dindo classification reporting system. The mean follow-up was 21 months. Results: The median hospital stay was 17 (2-91) days. Perioperative Clavien-Dindo grade ≥III complications were seen in 24.1% (48/199) of group 1 patients and 19.2% (10/52) of group 2 patients (p = 0.045). 30- and 90-day mortality was 4.5 and 13.5% in group 1 and 6.5 and 32.3% in group 2, respectively. Only the 90-day mortality rate was statistically significant (p < 0.05) between the two groups. The 3-year overall survival was 40% in group 1 and 34% in group 2. The 3-year cancer-specific survival was 52% in group 1 and 50% in group 2. Conclusions: We evaluated a large series of elderly (≥75 years) patients undergoing radical cystectomy at four institutions. Comparing patients aged ≥75-84 and ≥85 years revealed no significant difference in complications, 30-day mortality, overall and cancer-specific survival rates. Only 90-day mortality rates were significantly higher in the ≥85-year-old patients.

Objectives: To compare perioperative and oncological outcomes between open and laparoscopic radical cystectomy in a single-centre setting. Materials and methods: This study was a retrospective cohort (level 2b evidence) non-randomised review of 228 radical cystectomies that were performed between January 2010 and February 2016. Primary outcome measures were operative time, complications, blood loss and length of hospital stay. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS v21.0. Quantitative values were compared with Student’s t-test; categorical variables with the chi-square test. Statistical significance was considered a result of an alpha value less than 0.05. A Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was also conducted. Results: Intraoperative blood loss was lower in laparoscopic surgery (855±673 vs. 716±570 mL, P=0.15), which had a significant impact on transfusion rates ( P=0.02). Operative times were lower in open surgery (339±52.9 vs. 353.1±67.1 minutes, P=0.10), while hospital stay was lower in the laparoscopic group (14.2±11.2 vs. 16.0±13.6 days, P=0.28). Five-year survival rates were superior for patients who underwent an open procedure but were not statistically significant ( P=0.10). Conclusion: This is, so far, the largest cohort to compare laparoscopic and open radical cystectomy. The laparoscopic approach can reduce the need for transfusion; however, there was no statistically significant difference in complication rates, duration of surgery, length of hospital stay or intraoperative blood loss, survival and margin positivity. Level of evidence: Not applicable for this multicentre audit.

Abstract Background: To analyze perioperative conditions and long-term efficacy of open modified ureterosigmoidostomy urinary diversion (OMUUD) in patients with bladder cancer who underwent open radical cystectomy (ORC) and laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC).Methods: In this retrospective study, the clinical data of patients who underwent open and laparoscopic radical cystectomy plus open modified ureterosigmoidostomy urinary diversion in our hospital were collected from January 2011 to December 2019. In addition, perioperative data of 56 patients who underwent ORC and OMUUD were compared with those of 118 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) plus OMUUD. A long-term follow-up was performed to compare the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rate between the two groups.Results: Results showed that there was no significant difference between ORC+OMUUD group and LRC+OMUUD group in terms of gender, age, body index, pre-operative ASA grade, history of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) before surgery, tumor T stage, lymph node dissection range, pathological grade, and positive postoperative surgical margin. The mean operation time in the open group was shorter than that in the laparoscopic group （P<0.001）. Moreover, the estimated intraoperative blood loss（P<0.001）and postoperative hospital stay（P=0.023）were better in the laparoscopic group than in the open group. The incidence of complications between 30 days (P=0.665) and 90 days (P=0.211) time-points after surgery was not significantly different. Similarly, the OS (P=0.237) and PFS (P=0.307) between the two groups were comparable.Conclusion: This study shows that the LRC group has long operation time, but less estimated intraoperative blood loss, short postoperative hospital stay, small trauma, and fast postoperative recovery compared to open surgery. Moreover, the incidence of complications at 30 - and 90-days postoperation, as well as the OS and PFS is not different between laparoscopy and open surgery.

517 Background: Radical cystectomy for muscle invasive bladder cancer is the gold standard. However, it is frequently associated with a prolonged length of hospital stay (LOS). We study the effect of ERAS protocol implementations and Alvimopan use in patients undergoing radical cystectomy and its impact on length of hospital stay (LOS). Methods: Retrospective cohort study involving consecutive patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer at our institution from 2010 through 2018. We evaluated Alvimopan use plus an ERAS protocol post radical cystectomy versus patients who underwent ERAS protocol alone versus those who were managed prior to ERAS protocol implementation. Primary outcome of interest was LOS, controlling for age, sex, smoking status and Charleson comorbidities index. Results: 146 patients (49.32 %) received standard care (non-ERAS) (group A), 102 patients (34.45 %) underwent ERAS protocol alone (group B) and 47 patients (15.87 %) underwent ERAS protocol plus Alvimopan (group C). There was no significant difference in length of stay between group A and group B (p=0.856). However, group C experienced a shorter LOS (16.6%) compared to group A (p=0.015). Similarly, group B was not significantly associated with the days to bowel movements compared to group A (p=0.112), however, group C demonstrated a significantly shorter time (16.3%) to bowel movements compared to group A (p=0.015). On other hand, group c wasn’t significantly associated with time tolerance to regular diet (p=0.068). Limitations include retrospective nature of some of the data, non-randomized approach and confounders such as a mix of robot and open approaches to cystectomy. Conclusions: Of all ERAS protocol components, Alvimopan appeared to be the most significant contributor in accelerating GI recovery and decrease LOS in our cohort.

Abstract Surgical site infection (SSI) is a serious complication requiring prolonged hospitalization, intravenous antibiotics, wound care and dressings resulting in increased cost and resistant bacteria. In pediatric cardiac surgery, Median sternotomy is the most frequently used incision for the correction of congenital anomalies. Sternal wound infections (SWIs) are well described complications of cardiac surgery and can occur in 3% to 8% of children. Furthermore, the mortality rate can increase 2-fold after SSIs. Also, SSIs are associated with an increased length of hospital stay, readmissions, and higher health care expenditures. Mediastinitis is a retrosternal wound infection frequently associated with a macroscopically sternal osteomyelitis. Mediastinitis is uncomfortable for patients, is poorly accepted by parents, leads to a prolonged hospital stay repeated surgery and prolonged antibiotic therapy. Mediastinitis are costly for patients, providers, and health-care institutions. In A recent survey among congenital heart programs, the incidence of mediastinitis has been reported to occur in 0.2–1.4%. Gram-positive cocci are the most common pathogen. Gram negative organisms are increasingly recognized, especially in neonates, and are related to delayed sternal closure. Fungal organisms are not infrequently found. Mediastinitis generally presents 2–3 weeks after cardiac surgery. Child often appear irritable, tired, and febrile. The incision is erythematous and painful. Wound separation and purulent drainage from the incision are frequent. Some but not all will also have sternal instability or dehiscence. Associated bacteremia is not uncommon, present in up to 40% of patients. Postoperative mediastinitis is a life-threatening infection and increase health expenditure. Young age, malnutrition, hypothermia, hyperglycemia, longer duration of surgery, long time of delayed sternal closure, postoperative low cardiac output and long ICU stay were a risk factor of mediastinitis. Stick to1999 CDC's Guideline for prevention of surgical site infection and their update in 2017 especially proper timing of antibiotic prophylaxis and post-operative blood glucose management is important in prevention of these life-threatening complication. procalcitonin can be useful biologic marker of infection. Management of mediastinitis consist of debridement and culture-based antibiotics. Primary closure over mediastinal drain or high vacuum drain gave good result, less time consuming, more economic and more cosmetic. Vacuum assisted closure gave excellent result, but more time consuming, less economic and delayed closure is necessary. Larger studies are needed to compare both techniques in effectiveness and coast benefit.
