Abstract Background The role of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) prior to major surgery has been an area of growing interest over the last two decades. CPET offers an objective and composite measure of physiological functional reserve, and thus can be used to identify patients at highest risk of peri-operative morbidity and mortality. Although the role of CPET has been investigated with respect to outcomes after oesophagectomy, no clear data exist into the predictive role of CPET specifically relating to gastric cancer surgery. The aim of this study was to identify CPET parameters predictive of adverse outcome in patients undergoing curative gastric resections. Methods Patients who underwent CPET followed by curative total or subtotal gastrectomy for gastric or junctional adenocarcinoma between January 2013 and December 2019 in a single high-volume centre were included in retrospective analysis. CPET variables were categorised as per cut-off values from other surgical populations (AT < 11ml.min-1.kg-1, VO2peak<15ml.min-1.kg-1, VE/VCO2 at AT > 34). Associations between these variables and postoperative outcomes were analysed using chi squared or Fisher’s exact test. Results There were 252 patients included in the study. Patients with VE/VCO2>34 were more likely to return to the intensive care unit (ICU) (p = 0.033) and had a higher chance of in-hospital mortality (p = 0.012). AT < 11ml.min-1.kg-1 or VO2peak<15ml.min-1.kg-1 were not associated either with return to ICU (p = 0.243, p = 0.202) or with in-hospital mortality (p = 1.000, p = 1.000). Conclusions Although much has been published on the importance of CPET assessment prior to major abdominal surgery, there is a paucity of literature specifically looking at its role in patients with gastric cancer. Patients with ventilatory inefficiency (VE/VCO2>34) are more likely to return to ICU or to die during hospital stay after total/subtotal gastrectomy for malignant disease. This information should play a more prominent role when assessing patients’ fitness prior to surgery.

IntroductionVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious life-threatening complication in patients with gastric cancer. Abnormal coagulation function and tumour-related treatment may contribute to the occurrence of VTE. Many guidelines considered that surgical treatment would put patients with cancer at high risk of VTE, so positive prevention is needed. However, there are no studies that have systematically reviewed the postoperative risk and distribution of VTE in patients with gastric cancer. We thus conduct this systematic review to determine the risk of VTE in patients with gastric cancer undergoing surgery and provide some evidence for clinical decision-making.Methods and analysisStudies reporting the incidence of VTE after gastric cancer surgery will be included. Primary studies of randomised controlled trials, cohort studies, population-based surveys and cross-sectional studies are eligible for this review and only studies published in Chinese and English will be included. We will search the Medline, Embase, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI and Wanfang data from their inception to November 2019. Two reviewers will independently select studies and extract data. The quality of each included study will be assessed with tools corresponding to their study design. Meta-analysis will be used to pool the incidence data from included studies. Heterogeneity of the estimates across studies will be assessed, if necessary, a subgroup analysis will be performed to explore the source of heterogeneity. The Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation method is applied to assess the level of evidence obtained from this systematic review.Ethics and disseminationThis proposed systematic review and meta-analysis is based on published data, and thus ethical approval is not required. The results of this review will be sought for publication.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42019144562

Introduction: This study aimed to clarify the frequency and risk factors of intercurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing major curative gastric cancer surgery. Methods: This prospective, multicenter, observational study included patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy at 5 hospitals between June 2016 and May 2018. Patients who were preoperatively administered anticoagulants were excluded. Results: A total of 126 patients were eligible to participate. VTE occurred within 9 days postoperatively in 5 cases (4.0%; 2 symptomatic and 3 asymptomatic). Postoperative day (POD) 1 plasma D-dimer and soluble fibrin (SF) levels were significantly higher in the VTE group than in the non-VTE group. Receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis indicated a statistically significant ability of POD 1 D-dimer and SF levels to predict postoperative VTE development after gastrectomy; this finding was reflected by an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.97 (95% CI 0.92–1.0) and 0.87 (95% CI 0.74–1.0), respectively. Cutoff values of D-dimer (24.6 µg/mL) and SF (64.1 µg/mL) were determined. Intraoperative blood transfusion (odds ratio [OR] 7.86), POD 1 D-dimer ≥24.6 µg/mL (OR 17.35), and POD 1 SF ≥64.1 µg/mL (OR 19.5) were independent predictive factors for postoperative VTE (p < 0.05). Conclusion: VTE occurred in 4.0% patients (1.6% symptomatic and 2.4% asymptomatic) after gastric cancer surgery; however, with an early diagnosis and anticoagulant therapy, no patients experienced progression. Careful observation of patients with a high risk for VTE, including intraoperative blood transfusion and high POD 1 D-dimer or SF levels, would contribute to the early detection of VTE.
