39 Background: Obese patients with esophageal cancer have been increasing worldwide. However, the impact of obesity on esophagectomy still remains controversial. In this study, we clarified the relations between obesity and postoperative outcomes after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer. Methods: A total of 215 patients who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal cancer between 2008 and 2014 were retrospectively assessed. We qualified the body mass index (BMI), visceral fat area (VFA) and subcutaneous fat area (SFA) using CYNAPSE VINCENT™. Clincopathological factors, postoperative morbidity, and survival after esophagectomy were assessed with these obesity-related factors. Results: The mean BMI, VFA, and SFA were 22.0 kg/m², 83.0cm², and 87.3cm². BMI, VFA and SFA were significantly correlated each other (P < 0.001). The prevalence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension were significantly more in high SFA than normal SFA (20% vs 10%, 30% vs 14%). When the patients were divided to two groups according to BMI (< 25 or ≥25kg/m²), VFA ( < 100 or ≥100cm²) and SFA ( < 100 or ≥100cm²), operative time was significantly longer in high SFA (P = 0.03) than normal SFA, and tended to be longer in high BMI, but blood loss were similar in each groups. Maximum level of postoperative CRP was significantly higher in high BMI (P < 0.001), in high VFA (P < 0.001), and in high SFA (P < 0.001). Length of systemic inflammatory response syndrome was significantly longer in high BMI than normal BMI (1.9 days vs 1.4 days P = 0.04), and length of ventilator support was significantly longer in high SFA than normal SFA (3.0 days vs 2.2 days P = 0.006). The incidence of anastomotic leakage and surgical site infection were significantly higher in high SFA than normal SFA (27% vs 10%, 37% vs 19%). There were no significant difference in overall survival, however, patients in high VFA tended to be longer survival than those in normal VFA (P = 0.078). Conclusions: Anastomotic leakage and surgical site infection occurred more frequently in high SFA. It might be useful to examine SFA preoperatively in obese patients with esophageal cancer for prevention of postoperative complications. Patients in high VFA tended to be longer survival than those in normal VFA.

AbstractObjective:The incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) is higher in spinal surgeries than in general orthopedic operations. In this study, we aimed to develop a scoring system with reduced health care costs for detecting spinal surgery patients at high risk for SSI.Design:Retrospective cohort study.Patients:In total, 824 patients who underwent spinal surgery at 2 university hospitals from September 2005 to May 2011.Methods:We reviewed the medical records of 824 patients, and we examined 19 risk factors to identify high-risk patients. After narrowing down the variables by univariate analysis, multiple logistic analysis was performed for factors with P values <.2, using SSI as a dependent variable. Only factors that showed P values <.05 were included in the final models, and each factor was scored based on the β coefficient values obtained. The clinical prediction rules were thereby prepared.Results:“Emergency operation,” “blood loss >400 mL,” “presence of diabetes,” “presence of skin disease,” and “total serum albumin value <3.2 g/dL” were detected by multivariable modeling and were incorporated into the risk scores. Applying these 5 independent predictive factors, we were able to predict the infection incidence after spinal surgery.Conclusions:Our present study could aid physicians in making decisions regarding prevention strategies in patients undergoing spinal surgery. Stratification of risks employing this scoring system will facilitate the identification of patients most likely to benefit from complex, time-consuming and expensive infection prevention strategies, thereby possibly reducing healthcare costs.
