Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: Az akut varixeredetű gastrointestinalis vérzés napjainkban is jelentős morbiditással és mortalitással jár. Célkitűzés: Célunk az akut varixeredetű felső gastrointestinalis vérzések incidenciájának, ellátási folyamatainak és kimeneteli tényezőinek átfogó felmérése volt. Módszer: Prospektív, multicentrikus vizsgálatunk keretében hat nyugat-magyarországi gasztroenterológiai centrum bevonásával elemeztük az ott diagnosztizált és kezelt, varixvérző betegek adatait. Rögzítettük a demográfiai, az anamnesztikus, a diagnosztikus, valamint a terápiát és a betegség kimenetelét érintő adatokat. Minden beteg esetében kockázat- és predikcióbecslést végeztünk a Glasgow–Blatchford Score (GBS), a pre- és posztendoszkópos Rockall Score (RS) és az American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Score alapján. Eredmények: A vizsgált egyéves periódusban (2016. 01. 01. és 2016. 12. 31. között) 108, akut varixeredetű gastrointestinalis vérzést találtunk (átlagéletkor: 59,6 év). Endoszkópos terápiára 57,4%-ban került sor, 39,8% sclerotherapiában, 18,5% ligatióban részesült. Transzfúziót a betegek 76,9%-a igényelt. A teljes halálozás 24,1% volt. A transzfúziós igény vonatkozásában a legmagasabb prediktív értékű a GBS volt (AUC: 0,793; cut-off: GBS >8 pont). Az ASA-pontszám szignifikáns összefüggést mutatott a transzfúzió-szükséglettel (OR 7,6 [CI 95% 2,7–21,6]; p<0,001), az endoszkópos intervencióval (OR 12,6 [CI 95% 3,4–46,5]; p = 0,033) és trendszerű kapcsolatot a mortalitással (OR 3,6 [0,8–16,7]; p = 0,095). Emellett a nemzetközi normalizált ráta (INR) értéke (p = 0,001) és a szérumkreatinin-szint (p = 0,002) állt kapcsolatban a mortalitással. Az endoszkópos intervenció aránya szignifikáns összefüggésben volt a varix Paquet-stádiumával (p<0,001) és az ASA-pontszámmal (OR = 12,6 [3,4–46,5]; p = 0,033). Következtetés: Nyugat-Magyarországon magas az akut varixeredetű vérzés előfordulási gyakorisága. Az ASA-pontszám és a GBS jó prediktív faktor a betegségkimenetel és a transzfúziós igény vonatkozásában. A megfigyelt magas mortalitás és az endoszkópos ligatio alacsony aránya indokolja a kezelési stratégiák optimalizálását akut varixeredetű gastrointestinalis vérzés esetén. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(31): 1252–1259. Summary. Introduction: Acute variceal gastrointestinal bleeding is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the characteristics and prognostic factors in the management of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding in a large multi-center study from Hungary. Method: This prospective one-year study (between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016) involved six community hospitals in Western Hungary. Data collection included demographic characteristics, vital signs at admission, comorbidities, medications, time to hospital admission and endoscopy, laboratory results, endoscopic management, risk assessment using Glasgow–Blatchford Score (GBS), Rockall Score (RS) and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Score, transfusion requirements, length of hospital stay and mortality. Results: 108 cases (male: 69.4%) of acute variceal gastrointestinal bleeding were registered during the 1-year period. Endoscopic therapeutic intervention was performed in 57.4%. On initial endoscopy, 39.8% of the patients were treated with sclerotherapy and 18.5% had ligation. 76.9% of the patients required blood transfusion. The overall mortality (including in-hospital bleedings) was 24.1%. The GBS predicted transfusions (AUC: 0.793; cut-off: GBS >8 points). The ASA Score was associated with transfusion (OR 7.6 [CI 95% 2.7–21.6]; p<0.001), endoscopic intervention (OR 12.6 [CI 95% 3.4–46.5]; p = 0.033), and showed similar trend with mortality (OR 3.6 [0.8–16.7]; p = 0.095). The increased international normalized ratio (INR) and creatinine levels were associated with mortality (p = 0.001 and p = 0.002). Conclusion: Incidence rates of acute variceal gastrointestinal bleeding in Western Hungary are high. The ASA Score, GBS predicted outcomes and transfusion requirements. The observed high mortality rates, coupled with relatively low rates of endoscopic ligation, warrant optimization of management strategies in acute variceal gastrointestinal bleeding.

Abstract BackgroundThe American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification (ASA) score is used for communication of patient health status, risk scoring, benchmarking and financial claims. Prior studies using hypothetical scenarios have shown poor concordance of ASA scoring among healthcare providers. However, there is a paucity of concordance studies using real-world data, as well as studies of clinical factors or patient outcomes associated with discordant scoring. The study aims to assess real-world ASA score concordance between surgeons and anesthesiologists, factors surrounding discordance and its impact on patient outcomes. MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary academic medical center on 46284 consecutive patients undergoing elective surgery between January 2017 and December 2019. ASA scores entered by surgeons and anesthesiologists, patient demographics, and post-operative outcomes were collected. We assessed the concordance of preoperative ASA scoring between surgeons and anesthesiologists, clinical factors associated with score discordance, the impact of score discordance on clinically important outcomes, and the discriminative ability of the two scores for 30-day mortality, 1-year mortality, and intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Statistical tests used included Cohen’s weighted 𝜅 score, chi-square test, t-test, unadjusted odds ratios and logistic regression models. ResultsThe ASA score showed moderate concordance (weighted Cohen’s 𝜅 0.53) between surgeons and anesthesiologists. 15098 patients (32.6%) had discordant scores, of which 11985 (79.4%) were scored lower by surgeons. We found significant associations between discordant scores and anesthesiologist-assessed comorbidities, patient age and race. Patients with discordant scores had a higher risk of 30-day mortality (odds ratio 2.00, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.52-2.62, p<0.0001), 1-year mortality (odds ratio 1.53, 95% CI = 1.38-1.69, p < 0.0001), and ICU admission >24 hours (odds ratio 1.69, 95% CI = 1.47-1.94, p< 0.0001), and stratified analyses showed a trend towards higher risk when the surgeons’ ASA score was lower. ConclusionsThere is moderate concordance between surgeons and anesthesiologists in assigning the ASA classification. Discordant ASA scores are associated with adverse patient outcomes. Hence, there is a need for improved standardization of ASA scoring and cross-specialty review in ASA-discordant cases.

OBJECTIVO: Na cirurgia lombar, a instrumentação pedicular proporciona a estabilização dos segmentos afectados e favorece a artrodese. Trata-se na maioria das vezes de procedimentos complexos em pacientes idosos e com várias co-morbilidades. O número de níveis a descomprimir/artrodesar nem sempre é consensual. Os autores pretendem determinar se existe relação entre o número de níveis operados e as complicações intra e pós-operatórias. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo que incluiu 50 indivíduos com estenose lombar submetidos a descompressão e fixação vertebral posterior entre 2009 e 2010. Idade média 65,98±8,82 anos. Contabilização dos níveis instrumentados (NI) e níveis descomprimidos (ND). Variáveis averiguadas: Tempo de recobro em unidade pós-anestésica/intensivos (UPA); Unidades de glóbulos rubros transfundidos (GR); Variação da concentração de Hemoglobina (Hgb); Tempo cirúrgico (minutos); dias de internamento; ASA score (American Society of Anesthesiologists). Contabilização das complicações neurológicas, infecciosas, vasculares, Mau posicionamento parafusos e doentes reoperados. Divisão em dois grupos: Grupo A: ≤3 NI e GrupoB: >3 NI. Estudo estatístico em SPSS®. RESULTADOS: Relação entre NI e ND com mais GR, mais tempo UPA, maior perda Hgb e maior tempo cirúrgico (p<0,05). Relação entre NI e ND com maior número de complicações (p<0,05). Instrumentações/descompressões >3 níveis associadas a maior necessidade de transfusão (p<0,05), mais tempo na UPA (p<0,05), maior perda hemática (p<0,05), maior tempo cirúrgico (p<0,05) e maior incidência de complicações (p<0,05). CONCLUSÃO: Na estenose lombar, instrumentações/descompressões acima de três níveis têm taxa de complicações mais elevada, assim, no planeamento pré-operatório a relação risco/benefício deve ser ponderada particularmente nos pacientes mais idosos e com mais co-morbilidades.

Difficult Cases

The present article describes three difficult cases of recurrent bleeding from obscure causes, followed by a review of the pitfalls and pharmacological management of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. All three patients underwent multiple investigations. An intervening complicating diagnosis or antiplatelet drugs may have compounded long-term bleeding in two of the cases. A bleeding angiodysplasia was confirmed in one case but was aggravated by the need for anticoagulation. After multiple transfusions and several attempts at endoscopic management in some cases, long-acting octreotide was associated with decreased transfusion requirements and increased hemoglobin levels in all three cases, although other factors may have contributed in some. In the third case, however, the addition of low-dose thalidomide stopped bleeding for a period of at least 23 months.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of and potential risk factors for postoperative regurgitation and vomiting (PORV), postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and aspiration pneumonia in geriatric dogs using premedication with maropitant and famotidine, intraoperative fentanyl, and postoperative fentanyl as part of an anesthetic protocol. ANIMALS 105 client-owned geriatric dogs that underwent general anesthesia for a major surgical procedure between January 2019 and March 2020. PROCEDURES Medical records were reviewed to collect data on signalment, historical gastrointestinal signs, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, indication for surgery, duration of anesthesia and surgery, patient position during surgery, mode of ventilation, and perioperative administration of maropitant, famotidine, anticholinergics, opioids, colloidal support, NSAID, corticosteroids, and appetite stimulants. The incidence of postoperative regurgitation, vomiting, nausea, and aspiration pneumonia was calculated, and variables were each analyzed for their association with these outcomes. RESULTS 2 of 105 (1.9%) dogs regurgitated, 1 of 105 (1.0%) dogs developed aspiration pneumonia, 4 of 105 (3.8%) dogs exhibited nausea, and no dogs vomited. Identified possible risk factors included older age (≥ 13 years old) for postoperative regurgitation, regurgitation for postoperative aspiration pneumonia, and high ASA score (≥ 4) for both regurgitation and aspiration pneumonia. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The use of an antiemetic protocol including maropitant, famotidine, and fentanyl in geriatric dogs resulted in very low incidences of PORV, PONV, and aspiration pneumonia. Future prospective studies are warranted to further evaluate and mitigate postoperative risks.

Minorhepatectomy (MH) is a common type of robotic-assisted liver resection, but few studies compared it with laparoscopic. We compared the perioperative outcomes of patients who underwent robotic (RH) or laparoscopic (LH) minor hepatectomy and evaluated the effect of surgeon's experience on outcomes. A prospective database was used to identify patients from 2009 through 2016 who underwent RH or LH. Two surgeons performed RH starting in 2014, whereas LH had been established before that. Of the 93 patients, 42 were in RH and 51 in LH group. The mean patient age, gender, race, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, proportion of patients with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma were similar. Operative time, estimated blood loss (EBL), conversion to open, 30-day complication rate, Clavien–Dindo grade ≥ 3 complications, and length of hospital stay (LOS) were similar. There was no difference in average tumor size, specimen volume, or achievement of R0 margin. In RH group, after completing 15 cases, there were no conversions to open. After 25 cases, EBL, LOS, and 30-day complication rate were improved as compared with LH. Perioperative outcomes of robotic MH are equivalent to laparoscopic. After approximately 25 cases, robotic-assisted MH may result in superior outcomes compared with laparoscopic.

IntroductionAs a research team of urologists and an anesthetist, we sought to investigate the prognostic significance of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score in patients with upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). ASA physical status (ASA-PS) classification not only was found to be associated with increased comorbidities but also independently factors for predicting morbidity and mortality. Accurate risk assessment was being particularly important for patients being considered for surgery.MethodsRecords for 958 patients with UTUC who underwent RNU were reviewed. Clinicopathologic variables, including ASA-PS, were assessed at two institutions. Overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), intravesical recurrence-free survival (IRFS), and metastasis-free survival (MFS) were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression analyses. We measured the independent predictive value of ASA-PS for mortality by multivariate regression. Association of ASA-PS and clinicopathologic variables was assessed.ResultsThe group of patients with ASA = 2/3 had a shorter 5-year OS (67.6% and 49.9%), CSS (72.9% and 58.1%), and MFS (75.1% and 58.5%). The median follow-up time was 39 months. Kaplan–Meier curves showed that the group with ASA = 2/3 had significantly poorer OS, CSS, and MFS. Adjusting for multiple potential confounding factors, multivariate analyses suggested that ASA score was an independent predictor of OS, CSS, and MFS (p = 0.004, p = 0.005, p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionHigher ASA scores were independently associated with lower survival rate. This capability, along with its simplicity, makes it a valuable prognostic metric. It should be seriously referenced in UTUC patients being considered for RNU.

Upper Gastrointestinal

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a common medical emergency with associated significant morbidity and mortality. There are multiple published national and international guidelines on the management of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB). However, the 2015 National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death group (NCEPOD) report identified several areas of concern regarding suboptimal care. This article discusses the latest evidence and guidance on the pre-endoscopic, endoscopic and post-endoscopic management of patients presenting with AUGIB. AUGIB should be assessed for risk stratification using a validated score, such as the Glasgow-Blatchford Score, Rockall Score or AIMS65. Treatment considerations include the optimum threshold for red blood cell transfusion, as well as the reintroduction of antithrombotic agents. Novel endoscopic therapies include haemostatic powder spray, over-the-scope clips, ultrasound doppler probes and self-expandable oesophageal stents.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is seen as a gateway to minimally invasive surgery. We defined a new three-port technique with different port sites and compared the postoperative results with traditional four-port LC procedure in a case-match study. Between June 2012 and May 2013, 104 consecutive patients underwent three-port LC by same experienced surgeon. In the same center, 2963 consecutive patients underwent four-port LC, and of these 2963 patients, a matched group of 104 patients was selected. Data included patient age, gender, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, history of abdominal operations, intraoperative data about operating time and conversion to open surgery, and postoperative data about length of hospital stay and postoperative complications were recorded prospectively. We concluded that our new three-port technique with different port sites is as feasible and safe as traditional four-port technique.

This study aimed to investigate deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with lower extremity fractures who received anticoagulation treatment in the perioperative stage. We collected the patients’ clinical data and diagnosed DVT using Doppler ultrasonography. Preoperative, postoperative, and 1-month postoperative examinations were performed. The patients were divided into thrombosis and non-thrombosis groups according to ultrasonographic findings. A total of 404 patients were included in the study. The preoperative, postoperative, and 1-month postoperative incidence rates were, respectively, 35%, 55%, and 40% for DVT and 12%, 22%, and 20% for DVT in the uninjured contralateral lower extremity. The incidence of perioperative DVT decreased over time from 223 (55%) to 161 (40%). Multivariate analysis revealed that the independent risk factors for preoperative that of DVT were age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01-1.04; P = .000); postoperative that of DVT were age (OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.03-1.05; P = .000), blood loss (OR: 1.001; 95% CI: 1.000-1.002; P = .018), and American Society of Anesthesiologists classification (OR: 2.07; 95% CI: 1.16-3.72; P = .014); and 1-month postoperative that of DVT were age (OR: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.03-1.07; P = .000), respectively. In conclusion, the incidence of perioperative DVT decreased over time in patients who received anticoagulation treatment. Age was an important risk factor for perioperative DVT.
