Hand Foot Syndrome

Abstract Purpose In clinical practice, the risk factors for pegylated liposomal doxorubicin-related hand-foot syndrome remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors associated with hand-foot syndrome in patients with lymphoma using pegylated liposomal doxorubicin.Methods This retrospective descriptive analysis included patients with lymphoma who received PLD treatment (≥ 2 cycles of chemotherapy) at our cancer centre and had complete follow-up data from January 2016 to February 2020. Clinical, laboratory data, as well as the occurrence of hand-foot syndrome (incidence, location, severity, impact on follow-up chemotherapy) were obtained. The primary end point was the incidence of hand-foot syndrome, which was classified according to the "Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events" (Version 4.0). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for hand-foot syndrome in patients with lymphoma using doxorubicin liposomes. Findings A total of 167 patients met the inclusion criteria. 58 developed HFS, of which 45 occurred after the second course of chemotherapy. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a dose increase of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and hepatobiliary dysfunction were significantly associated with an increased risk for hand-foot syndrome(dose intensity, OR= 6.479; 95% CI, 1.431-29.331 [P =0.015]; history of gallstones, OR = 14.144, 95% CI, 1.512-132.346 [P =0.020]; alanine aminotransferase, OR = 1.194, 95% CI, 1.056-1.350 [P =0.005]; alanine aminotransferase, OR = 1.162, 95% CI, 1.010-1.336 [P =0.035]; and glutamine transpeptidase, OR = 1.092, 95% CI, 1.016-1.174 [P =0.018]).Implications These findings contribute to the risk assessment of patients with lymphoma before using pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. For patients with the above risk factors, preventive measures should be taken in advance to reduce the incidence of HFS.

Intramedullary Spinal Cord

OBJECTIVELaminoplasty has been used in recent years as an alternative approach to laminectomy for preventing spinal deformity after resection of intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCTs). However, controversies exist with regard to its real role in maintaining postoperative spinal alignment. The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of progressive spinal deformity in patients who underwent laminoplasty for resection of IMSCT and identify risk factors for progressive spinal deformity.METHODSData from IMSCT patients who had undergone laminoplasty at Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital between January 2014 and December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Univariate tests and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to assess the statistical relationship between postoperative spinal deformity and radiographic, clinical, and surgical variables.RESULTSOne hundred five patients (mean age 37.0 ± 14.5 years) met the criteria for inclusion in the study. Gross-total resection (> 95%) was obtained in 79 cases (75.2%). Twenty-seven (25.7%) of the 105 patients were found to have spinal deformity preoperatively, and 10 (9.5%) new cases of postoperative progressive deformity were detected. The mean duration of follow-up was 27.6 months (SD 14.5 months, median 26.3 months, range 6.2–40.7 months). At last follow-up, the median functional scores of the patients who did develop progressive spinal deformity were worse than those of the patients who did not (modified McCormick Scale: 3 vs 2, and p = 0.04). In the univariate analysis, age (p = 0.01), preoperative spinal deformity (p < 0.01), extent of tumor involvement (p < 0.01), extent of abnormal tumor signal (p = 0.02), and extent of laminoplasty (p < 0.01) were identified as factors associated with postoperative progressive spinal deformity. However, in subsequent multivariate logistic regression analysis, only age ≤ 25 years and preoperative spinal deformity emerged as independent risk factors (p < 0.05), increasing the odds of postoperative progressive deformity by 4.1- and 12.4-fold, respectively (p < 0.05).CONCLUSIONSProgressive spinal deformity was identified in 25.7% patients who had undergone laminoplasty for IMSCT resection and was related to decreased functional status. Younger age (≤ 25 years) and preoperative spinal deformity increased the risk of postoperative progressive spinal deformity. The risk of postoperative deformity warrants serious reconsideration of providing concurrent fusion during IMSCT resection or close follow-up after laminoplasty.

Abstract Background: Progressive spinal deformity has become a well-recognized complication of intracanal tumors resection. However, the factors affecting post-operative spinal stability remain to be further research. Here, we described the current largest series of risk factors analysis for progressive spinal deformity following resection of intracanal tumors. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of the patients with resection of intracanal tumors between January 2009 and December 2018. All patients who underwent resection of intracanal tumors performed regular postoperative follow-up were identified and included in the study. Clinical, radiological, surgical, histopathological, and follow-up data were collected. The incidence of postoperative progressive kyphosis or scoliosis was calculated. The statistical relationship between postoperative progressive spinal deformity and radiographic, clinical, and surgical variables was assessed by using univariate tests and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: Two hundred seventy-two patients (mean age 42.56 ± 16.18 years) with median preoperative modified McCormick score of 3 met the inclusion criteria. Among them, 7（2.6%）patients were found to have spinal deformity preoperatively, and the extent of spinal deformity in these 7 patients deteriorated after surgery. 36 (13.2%) were new cases of postoperative progressive deformity. The mean duration of follow-up was 21.8 months (median 14 months, range 6–114 months). In subsequent multivariate logistic regression analysis, age≤18 years (p=0.027), vertebral levels of tumor involvement (p = 0.019) and preoperative spinal deformity(p=0.008) was the independent risk factors (p < 0.05), increasing the odds of postoperative progressive spinal deformity by 3.94- , 0.69- and 27.11-fold, respectively. Conclusions: The incidence of postoperative progressive spinal deformity was 15.8%, mostly in these patients who had younger age (≤18 years), tumors involved in multiple segments and preoperative spinal deformity. The risk factors of postoperative progressive spinal deformity warrants serious reconsideration that when performing resection of spinal cord tumors in these patients with such risk factors, the surgeons should consider conducting follow-ups more closely, and when patients suffering from severe symptoms or gradually increased spinal deformity, surgical spinal fusion may be a more suitable choice to reduce the risk of reoperation and improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract Background Tissue expansion is used for scar reconstruction owing to its excellent clinical outcomes; however, the complications that emerge from tissue expansion hinder repair. Infection is considered a major complication of tissue expansion. This study aimed to analyze the perioperative risk factors for expander infection. Methods A large, retrospective, single-institution observational study was carried out over a 10-year period. The study enrolled consecutive patients who had undergone tissue expansion for scar reconstruction. Demographics, etiological data, expander-related characteristics and postoperative infection were assessed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to identify risk factors for expander infection. In addition, we conducted a sensitivity analysis for treatment failure caused by infection as an outcome. Results A total of 2374 expanders and 148 cases of expander infection were assessed. Treatment failure caused by infection occurred in 14 expanders. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified that disease duration of ≤1 year (odds ratio (OR), 2.07; p &lt; 0.001), larger volume of expander (200–400 ml vs &lt;200 ml; OR, 1.74; p = 0.032; &gt;400 ml vs &lt;200 ml; OR, 1.76; p = 0.049), limb location (OR, 2.22; p = 0.023) and hematoma evacuation (OR, 2.17; p = 0.049) were associated with a high likelihood of expander infection. Disease duration of ≤1 year (OR, 3.88; p = 0.015) and hematoma evacuation (OR, 10.35; p = 0.001) were so related to high risk of treatment failure. Conclusions The rate of expander infection in patients undergoing scar reconstruction was 6.2%. Disease duration of &lt;1 year, expander volume of &gt;200 ml, limb location and postoperative hematoma evacuation were independent risk factors for expander infection.

IntroductionCOVID-19 is characterized by a wide range of clinical expression and by possible progression to critical illness and death. Therefore it is essential to identify risk factors predicting progression towards serious and fatal diseases. The aim of our study was to identify laboratory predictive markers of clinical progression in patients with moderate/severe disease and in those with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Material and methodsUsing electronic medical records for all demographic, clinical and laboratory data, a retrospective study on all consecutive patients with COVID-19 admitted to the Infectious Disease Clinic of Perugia was performed. The PaO2/FiO2 ratio (P/F) assessment cut‑off of 200 mm Hg was used at baseline to categorize the patients into two clinical groups. The progression towards invasive ventilation and/or death was used to identify critical outcome. Statistical analysis was performed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was adopted to identify risk factors of critical illness and mortality.ResultsIn multivariate logistic regression analysis neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was the only significant predictive factor of progression to a critical outcome (p = 0.03) and of in-hospital mortality (p = 0.03). In ARDS patients no factors were associated with critical progression. Serum ferritin > 1006 ng/ml was the only predictive value of critical outcome in COVID-19 subjects with moderate/severe disease (p = 0.02).ConclusionsNeutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and serum ferritin are the only biomarkers that can help to stratify the risk of severity and mortality in patients with COVID-19.

Background/Aim. The assessment of association of depression and diabetes mellitus type 2 using the Patient Health Questionaire (PHQ-9) has not been done in Montenegro. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of depression in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to identify the risk factors associated with the presence of depression. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the General Hospital in Bijelo Polje, from July to September, 2015. It included 70 patients over 35 years of age with the diagnosis of diabetes for at least six months. For the assessment of depression presence and intensity PHQ?9 was used. All variables associated with the presence of depression at a significance level of p < 0.05 were included into the final method of the multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results. Comorbidities were statistically significant more frequent among patients with depression (?2 = 5.40; p = 0.020). Duration of diabetes over five years was significantly associated with depression (?2 = 12.48; p < 0.001). Depression occurred more frequently among physically inactive subjects (?2 = 10.74; p = 0.005). The presence of diabetic polyneuropathy (?2 = 6.04; p = 0.014) and cataract (?2 = 5.351; p = 0.021) were also significantly associated with depression. A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of diabetes over five years and presence of cataract were independently associated with depression. Conclusion. The risk factors for depression among the subjects with diabetes were disease duration more than five years and the presence of cataract. Since depression is a serious disease and can be a risk factor for many chronic diseases, the best way of prevention is its early detection and treatment.

Abstract Background and Aims Anemia is a well-know complication of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and it seems to contribute for deterioration of kidney function. Experimental data suggest that anemia produces hypoxia of tubular cells which leads to tubulointerstitial damage resulting on CKD progression. Other mechanism described is that red blood cells have antioxidant properties that prevent the damage of tubulointerstitial cells and glomerulosclerosis from oxidative stress. There aren’t many observational studies that evaluated the association between anemia and progression of CKD. Therefore, our aim was to evaluate the association of anemia and CKD progression and its association outcomes in an outpatient ND-CKD population. Method We conduct a retrospective, patient-level, cohort analysis of all adult ND-CKD patients evaluated in an outpatient nephrology clinic over a 6 years period. The follow up time was at least 12 months. Anemia was defined according to the WHO definition (hemoglobin [hb] &lt; 13.0 g/dL in men and 12.0 g/dL in women). Progression of CKD was defined by one of the following criteria: decline in eGFR (CKD-EPI) superior to 5 ml/min/1.73 m2/year; duplication of serum creatinine or the need renal replacement therapy. Demographics and clinical data were also accessed. Results Out of 3008 patients referred to the nephrology clinic, 49.9% had anemia (mean age 71.9±15.9 years; 50.4% male; 92% white; mean follow-up time of 2.3±1.2 years). The mean Hb was 11.8 ±1.9 g/dL. Important cardiovascular comorbidities in patients with anemia were arterial hypertension (86.7%), obesity (65.5%), Diabetes Mellitus (DM) (52%) and dyslipidemia (46%). In univariate analysis, mortality was associated with anemia (36.9 vs 13.0%, p&lt;0.001), obesity (30.1 vs 21.8%, p&lt;0.001) and DM (30.1 vs 21.1%, p&lt;0.001). Of the patients with anemia, 738 met the criteria for CKD progression. In univariate analysis, CKD progression was associated with anemia (49.6 vs 43.9%, p=0.002), male gender (49.5 vs 43.6% p= 0.001); DM (49.6 vs 44.8 % p=0.009) and hypertension (47.9 vs 42.3% p=0.0018). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, anemia emerged was an independent predictor of CKD progression (OR 1.435, CI 95% 1.21-1.71, p&lt;0,001). Comparing hb values intervals (hb ≤10g/dl; hb10-12 g/dL; hb ≥12 g/dL), in the multivariate logistic regression analysis, hb ≤10g/dl was not associated with CKD progression and hb value between 10-12 g/dL was associated (OR 1,486, CI 95% 1.23-1.80, p&lt;0,001), when compared with the group with hb ≥12g/dL. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the independent predictors of mortality were: older age (OR per 1 year increase: 1.048, 95% CI 95% 1.04-1.06, p&lt;0.001); arterial hypertension (OR 0.699 CI 95% 0.51-0.96, p=0.0029); obesity (OR 0.741, CI 95% 0.60-0.91, p=0.004) and hb value (OR per 1 g/dL decrease: 1.301, CI 95% 1.23-1.38, p&lt;0.001). Cardiovascular events were correlated with Hb levels between 10-12 g/dL (univariate analysis: OR 2.021, CI 95% 1.27-3.22, P=0.003), but not with the group with hb≤10 g/dL (univariate analysis: OR 1.837, CI 95% 0.96-3.51, P=0.066), having the group with hb ≥12g/dL was reference. Anemia was strongly associated with hospitalizations (multivariate logistic regression analysis: OR per 1 g/dL of Hb decrease: 1.256 CI 95% 1.12-1.32 p&lt;0.001), and this strong association was also observed on the groups with hb hb≤10 g/dL (multivariate logistic regression analysis: OR 3.591 CI 95% 32.67-4.84 p&lt;0.001) and between 10-12 g/dL (multivariate logistic regression analysis: OR 1.678 CI 95% 1.40-2.02, p&lt;0.001) Conclusion Our study suggests that anemia, at first consultation, increases the risk for rapid CKD progression and global mortality. This study could guide us on the development of futures studies in order to prove if anemia correction can slow the progression of CKD.
