Abstract   Neoadjuvant treatments provided survival benefits over surgery alone in resectable locally advanced esophageal and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer patients. Both neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) are shown to be effective treatments. However, the direct comparison between two methods based on histologic subtypes, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) is still limited. This study examined the hypothesis that nCRT could provide the better overall survival (OS) than nCT. Methods A comprehensive search of studies comparing nCRT and nCT in patients with esophageal and EGJ cancer based on histologic subtypes was conducted. A meta-analysis of randomized (8 articles) and non-randomized (15 articles) studies was performed using odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI95%). The OS was the main objective, whereas the secondary objective were complete pathological response (pCR) rate, curative resection (R0) rate, locoregional progression free-survival (L-PFS) rate, postoperative complications and mortality. Results Twenty three articles included 1,671 SCC and 9,285 AC patients. Neither 3- nor 5-year OS was found to be different. However, SCC patients receiving nCRT showed the better 3-year OS (OR 1.67, CI95% 1.17–2.40, p = 0.005). Both pCR and R0 rates were superior in nCRT group (OR 3.30, CI95% 2.46–4.44 and 2.46, CI95% 1.66–3.65, p < 0.00001, respectively). The better 3-year L-PFS was observed in nCRT group (OR 1.47, CI95% 1.17–1.85, p = 0.008), but 5-year L-PFS was comparable. The 30-day mortality was comparable, while 90-day mortality was higher in nCRT group (OR 1.32, CI95% 1.01–1.72, p = 0.04). Conclusion The nCRT provided the better overall survival especially in SCC patients and also increased locoregional control. Meanwhile, postoperative complications and mortality were higher after nCRT. Due to clinical heterogeneity, the multidisciplinary team management for each patient is required before treatment.

Backgound: This study was aimed at evaluating the presepsin and procalcitonin levels to predict adverse postoperative complications and mortality in cardiac surgery patients. Methods: A total of 122 cardiac surgery patients were enrolled for the study. Presepsin and procalcitonin levels were measured 48 h after the procedure. The primary endpoints were adverse renal, respiratory, and cardiovascular outcomes and mortality. Results: Presepsin and procalcitonin levels were significantly higher in patients with adverse renal and respiratory outcome (p < 0.001 and 0.0081). The presepsin levels were significantly higher in patients with adverse cardiovascular outcome (p = 0.023) and the procalcitonin values in patients with sepsis (p = 0.0013). Presepsin levels were significantly higher in patients who died during hospitalization (382 pg/mL, interquartile range [IQR] 243–717.5 vs. 1,848 pg/mL, IQR 998–5,451.5, p = 0.049). In addition, the predictive value for in-hospital, 30-days, and 6-months mortality was higher for presepsin, with a significant difference between the 2 biomarkers (p = 0.025, p = 0.035, p = 0.003; respectively). Presepsin and procalcitonin seem to have comparable predictive value for adverse renal, cardiovascular, and respiratory outcome in cardiac surgery patients. Although a positive trend was notable for presepsin and adverse renal outcome (area under the ROC [receiver operating characteristic] curves [AUC] of 0.760, 95% CI 0.673–0.833 versus procalcitonin: AUC 0.692; 95% CI 0.601–0.773): no statistically significant difference was evident between the AUC of the 2 biomarkers (p = 0.25). Conclusions: Presepsin and ­procalcitonin seem to have comparable predictive value for ­adverse renal, cardiovascular, and respiratory outcome in cardiac surgery patients. Also, presepsin possesses a better predictive value for in-hospital, 30-days, and 6-months mortality.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and outcomes of bipolar hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture in elderly patients, and to compare postoperative complications and mortality among groups according to eGFR. Methods: A total of 181 patients who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture were divided into three groups according to eGFR. Data were retrospectively analyzed. Group 1 had 96 patients with eGFR greater than or equal to 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; Group 2 had 54 patients with eGFR greater than or equal to 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and lower than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; and Group 3 had 31 patients with eGFR lower than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Postoperative complications and mortality were compared between groups at a minimum 2-year follow-up. Results: Patients in Group 3 had the longest hospital stay of the three groups (p = 0.001). The rates of medical complications did not differ significantly among groups. However, Group 2 and 3 had higher rates of surgical complications (p = 0.001) and mortality (p = 0.043) than Group 1. Severe renal impairment was associated with increased risk of postoperative complications compared to mild renal impairment (odds ratio (95% confidence interval) = 4.33 (1.32–13.19), p = 0.015). Conclusion: Patients with moderate or severe decreased eGFR associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) could have higher postoperative complications and mortality after bipolar hemiarthroplasty compared to patients with CKD stage 1 or 2.

Background: There is still a lack of data on the nutritional status of older people with aortic stenosis (AS) and the effect of poor nutrition on the occurrence of complications and mortality after an aortic valve replacement (AVR) procedure. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of selected nutritional status parameters in elderly patients with severe AS on the occurrence of postoperative complications and one-year mortality after the AVR procedure. Methods: 101 elderly patients with AS aged 74.6 ± 5.2 years who qualified for surgical treatment (aortic valve area [AVA] 0.73 ± 0.2 cm2) were enrolled in the study. A nutritional status assessment was performed before AVR surgery, and the frequency of postoperative complications occurring within 30 days of surgery was assessed. The one-year mortality rate was also captured. Results: Adverse events (both major and minor) up to 30 days occurred in 49.5% (n = 50) of the study population. Low Mini Nutritional Assessment (f-MNA) and Subjective Global Assessment (7-SGA) scores and low concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and prealbumin were associated with a higher risk of postoperative complications. The risk of complications increased 1.22 times (95% CI; 1.030–1.453; p = 0.019) with an impaired nutritional status. The annual mortality rate in the study group was 7.9%. Unintentional weight loss of >2.8% in the six months preceding surgery proved useful for predicting death within the first year after AVR surgery. Conclusions: The results indicate that poor nutritional status is an important factor affecting the adverse outcomes in elderly patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing an AVR procedure.
