Angiosarcoma gastrointestinal multifocal, con compromiso extenso de estómago, intestino delgado y colon. Reporte de un caso / Multifocal gastrointestinal angiosarcoma, with extensive gastric, small intestine and colon involvement. A case report

Introducción. El angiosarcoma es una neoplasia vascular originada a nivel del endotelio, de baja frecuencia, conocido por su agresividad y crecimiento acelerado. Alcanza solo el 1 al 2 % del total de los sarcomas. La presentación gastrointestinal es infrecuente y su incidencia es poco conocida debido al escaso reporte de casos en la literatura. Suele identificarse en etapas avanzadas debido a la dificultad del diagnóstico histopatológico por sus características morfológicas, siendo necesario aplicar tinciones especiales o estudio inmunohistoquímico. Caso clínico. Por su interés y singularidad, presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 54 años, quien consultó con hemorragia digestiva profusa, anemización y requerimiento de terapia transfusional. Resultados. Durante el proceso diagnóstico, en la endoscopia encontraron diversas lesiones multifocales que se extendían por gran parte del tracto gastrointestinal. El estudio histopatológico mostró angiosarcoma gastrointestinal. Discusión. El angiosarcoma del tracto gastrointestinal es extremadamente infrecuente, de difícil diagnóstico y bajas posibilidades de manejo curativo, con opciones terapéuticas limitadas, lo que configura un mal pronóstico a corto plazo

Introduction. Angiosarcoma is a vascular neoplasm originating from endothelial cells, known for its aggressiveness, accelerated growth and reduced frequency. Reach only 1 to 2% of total sarcomas. Gastrointestinal presentation is extremely rare, the true incidence is poorly known, due to the limited reports of this entity in the literature. It is usually identified in advanced stages in view of the difficulty of the histopathological diagnosis, attributable to its morphological characteristics, being necessary to apply special stains or immunohistochemical study. Case report. Due to their interest and uniqueness, we present the case of a 54-year-old male patient, who presented with a profuse gastrointestinal bleeding, anemia, and requirement for transfusion therapy. Results. The endoscopy detected several multifocal lesions that extended most of the gastrointestinal tract. The histopathological study showed gastrointestinal angiosarcoma. Discussion. Angiosarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract is extremely uncommon, difficult to diagnose and has low possibilities of curative management, with limited therapeutic options, which configures a poor prognosis in the short term

Effect of electroacupuncture at different time points on the recovery of gastrointestinal function after surgery for gastrointestinal malignant neoplasms / 针灸推拿医学（英文版）

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at different time points during the perioperative period on the recovery of gastrointestinal function after gastrointestinal malignant neoplasms surgery. Methods: Sixty-three patients who needed radical surgery for gastrointestinal tumors were randomized into a control group, treatment group 1 (postoperative EA group), and treatment group 2 (intraoperative and postoperative EA group). The control group received surgery and conventional Western medicine treatment, and treatment groups 1 and 2 received additional EA treatment at different time points. The initial flatus time after the surgery, visual analog scale (VAS) score at different time points after the surgery, the proportion of using patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) after the surgery, and the times of adding analgesics were observed in the three groups. Results: The initial flatus time after the surgery was earlier in treatment groups 1 and 2 than in the control group (P<0.05); the difference between treatment groups 1 and 2 was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). The VAS score was lower in treatment group 2 than in the control group at 6, 12, 24, and 72 h after the surgery (P<0.05); the VAS score was lower in treatment group 1 than in the control group only at 72 h after the surgery (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the rate of using PCA among the three groups (P>0.05). Regarding the times of adding analgesics, it was less in treatment group 2 than in the control group at 12 h after the surgery (P<0.05). Conclusion: Either EA during and after the surgery or only after the surgery can hasten the initial flatus and boost the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients after radical resection of gastrointestinal neoplasms. Successive EA during and after the surgery should be superior to postoperative EA regarding the analgesic effect after the surgery.

Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of learned helplessness of family caregivers of patients with advanced digestive tract tumor.Results:The total score and the average items score of learned helplessness was (38.61 ± 15.40), (2.15 ± 0.88) points, which was at a lower level. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the gender of caregiver, physical condition of caregivers, average monthly household income were significant influencing factors of family caregivers learned helplessness in patients with advanced digestive tract tumor ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The learned helplessness of family caregivers of patients with advanced digestive tract tumor is at a mild level. Nurses should focus on the physical and mental conditions of low-income groups and female caregivers with advanced digestive tract tumor, and regularly assess their nursing needs and health status to improve their quality of life.

A comparative analysis of the distribution of the high-risk population of upper gastrointestinal cancer and endoscopic screening compliance in two urban areas and two rural areas in China / 中华肿瘤杂志

Objective: To analyze and compare the distribution of the high-risk population of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer and the factors influencing the compliance rate of endoscopic screening in urban China and rural China. Methods: From 2015 to 2017, an epidemiological survey was conducted on residents aged 40-69 in two rural areas (Luoshan county of Henan province, Sheyang county of Jiangsu province) and two urban areas (Changsha city of Hunan province, Harbin city of Heilongjiang province). As a result, high-risk individuals were recommended for endoscopic screening. Chi-square χ(2) test was used to compare the high-risk rate of UGI cancer between urban and rural residents. In addition, the multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing the compliance rate of endoscopic screening. Results: A total of 48, 310 residents aged 40-69 were enrolled in this study, including 22 870 (47.34%) residents from rural areas and 25 440 (52.66%) residents from urban areas. A total of 23 532 individuals were assessed with a high risk of UGI cancer, with an overall risk rate of 48.71%. A higher proportion of participants with high risk was observed in rural China (56.17%, 12 845/22 870) than in urban China (42.01%, 10 687/25 440). A total of 10 971 high-risk individuals with UGI cancer participated in endoscopic screening, with an overall compliance rate of 46.62% (10 971/23 532), 45.15% (5 799/12 845) in rural China, and 48.40% (5 172/10 687) in urban China. In rural population, the compliance rate of endoscopic screening was higher in those of females, aged 50-69 years, primary school education or above, high income, a family history of UGI cancer, history of gastric and duodenal ulcer, history of reflux esophagitis, and history of superficial gastritis, but lower in smokers (P<0.05). Among the urban population, the compliance rate of endoscopic screening was higher in those aged 40-49 years, uneducated, low income, family history of UGI cancer, history of reflux esophagitis, history of superficial gastritis, but lower in smokers (P<0.05). Conclusions: The proportion of participants with high risk of UGI cancer in rural areas is higher than that of urban areas. The compliance rates of endoscopic screening in urban and rural areas are low, and influencing factors of endoscopic screening exhibit some differences in rural China and urban China.

Increased postoperative fasting time aggravates the nutritional status in patients with gastrointestinal tract neoplasia

ABSTRACT Surgical patients with gastrointestinal cancer often suffer from malnutrition. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of fasting time on the nutritional status of patients hospitalized with preoperative and postoperative gastrointestinal tract neoplasms. Observational, longitudinal, and prospective study conducted in the surgical unit at a public-school hospital. The patients were divided into groups: upper (UGIT) and lower (LGIT) gastrointestinal tract. Follow-up started within 72 h of hospitalization with reassessment 72 h after surgery. Data collected: sex, age, type and duration of surgery, preoperative (compared with 8 h) and postoperative (compared with 24 h) fasting time, food acceptance, Subjective Global Assessment, anthropometry, and laboratory tests. Analyses: Student t, Wilcoxon, and chi-square tests. Fifty-one patients were followed up, 29 (57%) UGIT and 22 (43%) LGIT. The preoperative fasting time was 8.2±2.8 h in UGIT and 8.1±2.2 h in LGIT groups, respectively; however, postoperative fasting times in UGIT (60.4±40.7 h) and LGIT groups (57.6±38.2 h) were longer than 24 h (P<0.001). Although eutrophic in the preoperative period, in the postoperative most patients in the UGIT and LGIT groups presented, respectively, malnutrition (71%; 59%; P<0.001), severe weight loss (79%; 80%), a significant correlation between triceps skinfold and postoperative fasting time (r= -0.306; P= 0.03), and hemoglobin and albumin values (r= 0.633; P<0.001), additionally low dietary acceptance, especially in the UGIT group. Prolonging postoperative fasting time worsened the nutritional status of surgical patients, especially in the UGIT group.

RESUMEN Los pacientes quirúrgicos con cáncer gastrointestinal a menudo sufren desnutrición. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la influencia del tiempo de ayuno en estado nutricional de pacientes hospitalizados con neoplasias del tracto gastrointestinal preoperatorio y posoperatorio. Estudio observacional, longitudinal y prospectivo realizado en unidad quirúrgica de un hospital escolar público. Los pacientes fueron divididos en grupos: tracto gastrointestinal superior (UGIT) y inferior (LGIT). El seguimiento se inició dentro del 72 h de la hospitalización con reevaluación 72 h después de la cirugía. Datos recolectados: sexo, edad, tipo y duración de la cirugía, tiempo de ayuno preoperatorio (comparado con 8 h) y postoperatorio (comparado con 24 h), aceptación de dieta, Evaluación Subjetiva Global, antropometría y pruebas de laboratorio. Análisis: pruebas de T, Wilcoxon y chi-cuadrado. Se siguió 51 pacientes, 29 (57%) en UGIT y 22 (43%) en LGIT. El tiempo de ayuno preoperatorio fue 8,2±2,8 h (UGIT) y 8,1±2,2 h (LGIT); sin embargo, los tiempos de ayuno posoperatorio en UGIT (60,4±40,7 h) y LGIT (57,6±38,2 h) fueron superiores a 24 h (P<0,001). Aunque eutróficos en preoperatorio, en postoperatorio la mayoría de los pacientes (UGIT y LGIT, respectivamente) presentaron desnutrición (71%; 59%; P<0,001), pérdida de peso severa (79%; 80%), correlación significativa entre pliegue cutáneo del tríceps y tiempo de ayuno posoperatorio (r= -0.306; P= 0.03), valores de hemoglobina y albúmina (r= 0,633; P<0,001), y baja aceptación de dieta, especialmente del UGIT. La prolongación del ayuno postoperatorio empeoró el estado nutricional de los pacientes quirúrgicos, especialmente del UGIT.

Disección endoscópica submucosa para el tratamiento de neoplasias incipientes del tubo digestivo: experiencia en un centro universitario de alto volumen

Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) allows en-bloc resection of early gastro-intestinal neoplasms (EGIN) with healing potential. Aim: To describe the results of patients treated with ESD for EGIN by our team. Patients and Methods: Descriptive study of patients with EGIN who underwent ESD with curative intention between January 2008 and March 2020. Results: One hundred thirty-two ESD were performed in 127 patients. 77% were gastric lesions, 14% colorectal, 8% esophageal and 1% duodenal. En-bloc resection was achieved in 98.4% of ESDs. Eighty eight percent of patients met curative standards. Overall, cancer-specific, and recurrence-free survival were 95%, 100% and 98% respectively. Conclusions: ESD allows en-bloc resections with curative potential in selected patients, but with a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality and less impact on quality of life. Our results suggest the feasibility to perform ESD in our country with results comparable to those reported in the literature.

Introducción: El tumor estromal gastrointestinal es la neoplasia mesenquimal más frecuente en el tracto digestivo, su diagnóstico y tratamiento aun es controvertido por ser infrecuente. Objetivo: Caracterizar los pacientes con tumores estromales gastrointestinales atendidos en nuestro servicio. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo longitudinal en pacientes con tumores estromales gastrointestinales atendidos en el servicio de cirugía del Hospital Clínico-Quirúrgico "Arnaldo Milián Castro" desde 2015 hasta 2018. La muestra fue de 17 pacientes. Resultados: Predominaron los pacientes entre 60 y 69 años (35,3 por ciento) del sexo femenino (58,82 por ciento). El dolor abdominal como síntoma más frecuente (58,82 por ciento). El (47,1 por ciento) de los tumores midieron más de 10 cm, celularidad fusiforme (58,8 por ciento), índice mitótico menor de 5 (70,6 por ciento), sin patrón de crecimiento infiltrante (70,6 por ciento). La metástasis ausente en el (82,4 por ciento). Presente con igual frecuencia en estómago e intestino delgado (N = 8), fue igual la presencia de comportamiento agresivo bajo y alto (35,3 por ciento). Predominaron los marcadores CD.117 (41,2 por ciento) y CD.34 (35,3 por ciento). La recesión segmentaria de intestino delgado con anastomosis término-terminal fue la técnica quirúrgica más empleada (35,3 por ciento). Conclusiones: A pesar de ser mayormente grandes y encontrarse en porciones altas del tubo digestivo, muchos presentaron índice mitótico bajo, no obstante, un grupo considerable presentó comportamiento agresivo. Si bien es cierto que casi la totalidad de pacientes egresaron vivos, falta un seguimiento en el centro, lo cual resultaría interesante evaluar en futuros estudios(AU)

Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor is the most frequent mesenchymal neoplasm in the digestive tract, its diagnosis and treatment is still controversial because it is infrequent. Objective: To characterize the patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors treated in our service. Methods: A longitudinal descriptive observational study was carried out in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors treated in the surgery service of the "Arnaldo Milián Castro" Clinical-Surgical Hospital from 2015 to 2018. The sample consisted of 17 patients. Results: Female patients between 60 and 69 years old (35.3 percent) predominated (58.82 percent). Abdominal pain as the most frequent symptom (58.82 percent). Tumors (47.1 percent) measured more than 10 cm, spindle cell cellularity (58.8 percent), mitotic index less than 5 (70.6 percent), and no infiltrative growth pattern (70.6 percent). Metastasis absent in (82.4 percent). Present with equal frequency in the stomach and small intestine (N = 8), the presence of low and high aggressive behavior (35.3 percent) was the same. The markers CD.117 (41.2 percent) and CD.34 (35.3 percent) predominated. Segmental recession of the small intestine with end-to-end anastomosis was the most widely used surgical technique (35.3 percent). Conclusions: Despite being mostly large and found in high portions of the digestive tract, many presented a low mitotic index, however, a considerable group presented aggressive behavior. Although it is true that almost all the patients were discharged alive, there is a lack of follow-up at the center, which would be interesting to evaluate in future studies(AU)

Histórico familiar de câncer gástrico em pacientes dispépticos indicados à triagem endoscópica / Antecedentes familiares de cáncer gástrico en pacientes dispépticos derivados a triaje endoscópico / Family history of gastric cancer in dyspeptic patients referred for endoscopic screening

Resumo Objetivo Identificar o histórico familiar de primeiro grau de câncer gástrico em pacientes com sintomas dispépticos atendidos em um serviço público de endoscopia. Métodos Estudo transversal, realizado com pacientes dispépticos que tinham indicação para realizar o exame de endoscopia digestiva alta. A associação entre o histórico familiar de câncer gástrico e os resultados do exame endoscópico foi verificada por meio dos testes de Qui-quadrado ou Fisher, e medida seu efeito por meio da razão de chance e intervalo de confiança em analises uni e multivariadas. Utilizou-se regressão logística na análise dos dados. Resultados Observou-se que dos 751 pacientes dispépticos investigados, 44 (5,9%) possuíam histórico familiar de câncer gástrico, destes a maioria era do sexo feminino (70,5%), com idade maior ou igual a 45 anos (56,8%). Os pacientes com histórico familiar de câncer gástrico tinham maiores chances de não apresentarem diagnostico endoscópico de úlcera péptica (p=0,05; RC=2,33; IC=0,99-5,48). Além de maiores chances de alterações na mucosa gástrica (p=0,05; RC=1,06; IC=1,04-1,08) e infecção pela Helicobacter pylori (p=0,04; RC=1,79; IC=0,94-3,39) mesmo após ajustes nas análises. Conclusão A alteração endoscópica da mucosa gástrica e a infecção pela Helicobacter pylori em pacientes com sintomas dispépticos, mostraram associação independente com o histórico familiar de câncer gástrico. Diante disso, faz-se necessário a elaboração de protocolos de assistência à saúde para melhor investigação e vigilância dos familiares de câncer gástrico, bem como ações de educação em saúde para orientar os pacientes a respeito do rastreio e prevenção do câncer gástrico.

Resumen Objetivo Identificar los antecedentes familiares de primer grado de cáncer gástrico en pacientes con síntomas dispépticos atendidos en un servicio público de endoscopía. Métodos Estudio transversal llevado a cabo con pacientes dispépticos que habían sido derivados a realizar un estudio de endoscopía digestiva alta. La relación entre los antecedentes familiares de cáncer gástrico y los resultados del estudio endoscópico fue verificada mediante la prueba χ2 de Pearson o de Fisher, y su efecto fue medido a través de la razón de momios y del intervalo de confianza en análisis uni y multivariados. Se utilizó la regresión logística en el análisis de los datos. Resultados Se observó que de los 751 pacientes dispépticos investigados, 44 (5,9 %) tenían antecedentes familiares de cáncer gástrico, de los cuales la mayoría era de sexo femenino (70,5 %), de 45 años o más (56,8 %). Los pacientes con antecedentes familiares de cáncer gástrico tenían mayores chances de no presentar diagnóstico endoscópico de úlcera péptica (p=0,05; RC=2,33; IC=0,99-5,48). Además de mayores probabilidades de alteraciones en la mucosa gástrica (p=0,05; RC=1,06; IC=1,04-1,08) e infección por Helicobacter pylori (p=0,04; RC=1,79; IC=0,94-3,39), inclusive después de ajustes en los análisis. Conclusión La alteración endoscópica de la mucosa gástrica y la infección por Helicobacter pylori en pacientes con síntomas dispépticos mostraron relación independiente con los antecedentes familiares de cáncer gástrico. Ante este escenario, es necesaria la elaboración de protocolos de atención a la salud para una mejor investigación y observación de los familiares de cáncer gástrico, así como también acciones de educación en salud para orientar a los pacientes sobre la detección y prevención del cáncer gástrico.

Abstract Objective To identify first-degree relative history of gastric cancer in patients with dyspeptic symptoms receiving care at a public endoscopy service. Methods A cross-sectional study, performed with dyspeptic patients referred for an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The association between the family history of gastric cancer and the findings of the endoscopic examination was verified using the Chi-square or Fisher tests, and its effect was shown using odds ratio and confidence interval in univariate and multivariate analyses. Logistic regression was used to analyze the data. Results Among the 751 dyspeptic patients enrolled, 44 (5.9%) had a family history of gastric cancer, mostly females (70.5%) aged 45 years or older (56.8%). Patients with a family history of gastric cancer were more likely to have no endoscopic diagnosis of peptic ulcer (p=0.05; OR=2.33; CI=0.99-5.48). In addition, higher chances of gastric mucosal changes (p=0.05; RC=1.06; CI=1.04-1.08) and Helicobacter pylori infection (p=0.04; RC=1.79; CI=0.94-3.39) were found, even after adjusting the analyses. Conclusion The endoscopic gastric mucosal changes and Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with dyspeptic symptoms showed an independent association with family history of gastric cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to develop health care protocols for better investigation and surveillance of gastric cancer relatives, as well as health education actions to guide patients regarding screening and prevention of gastric cancer.

Status and prospect of perioperative nutritional support for patients with gastrointestinal cancer / 中国医师杂志

The incidence rate of gastrointestinal tumors is high, and it is the most common tumor in general surgery. Due to the characteristics of the disease and surgery, patients are often accompanied by malnutrition of varying degrees during the perioperative period. This will increase the risk of operation, surgical complications and mortality, reduce the susceptibility to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and the quality of life of patients. Therefore, good perioperative nutritional screening and nutritional support treatment will effectively improve the clinical outcome of patients with gastrointestinal cancer. This article mainly introduces the progress in screening, evaluation and evaluation of nutritional status in perioperative period of gastrointestinal tumor, as well as the timing of perioperative nutritional support treatment, selection of indications and implementation methods.

Effects of enteral nutrition powder on short-term postoperative outcomes of patients with digestive tract malignancies in China: a Meta-analysis / 中华消化外科杂志

Nutritional support therapy can improve to the postoperative nutritional status and quality of life of patients with digestive tract malignancies. Clinical guidelines at home and abroad recommend early preoperative nutritional support therapy based on oral nutrition supple-mentation for patients undergoing surgery for digestive tract malignancies to reduce the risk of malnutrition. Enteral nutrition powder is the main perioperative nutritional support method for patients with basically normal gastrointestinal function. At present, many Meta-analyses also point out that early postoperative nutrition can effectively enhance the body′s immunity, reduce post-operative complications and shorten the length of hospital stay. However, the analysis of short-term outcome indicators is not comprehensive, and there is no summary analysis result on Chinese patients. The authors review the relevant literatures and conduct a Meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of enteral nutrition powder on the short-term postoperative outcomes of Chinese patients with digestive tract malignancies.

Clinical value of transcutaneous neuromodulation in improving gastrointestinal function of 100 patients with gastrointestinal tumor after operation / 中华消化杂志

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of the transcutaneous neuromodulation (TN) in improving gastrointestinal function after gastrointestinal tumor operation.Methods:From April 2019 to June 2020, at The Affiliated People′s Hospital of Ningbo University, 100 patients who underwent gastrointestinal tumor surgery were included. The 100 patients were randomly divided into treatment group(receiving TN treatment, 50 cases)and control group (receiving sham TN treatment, 50 cases). The clinical data of the two groups was compared to evaluate the recovery of gastrointestinal function, which included the time of first defecation, time of first flatus, time of first ambulation, time of resuming diet, the incidence of nausea and vomiting within 3 d after operation and pain score (0 to 10). Heart rate variability (HRV) was compared between two groups to analyze the possible mechanism of TN improving gastrointestinal function after gastrointestinal tumor surgery. Independent sample t test and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Among 100 patients, there were 63 male and 37 female patients, the age was (67.0±11.3) years old, ranged from 28 to 92 years old. Compared with the control group, the time of first defecation, first flatus, first ambulation and resuming diet of treatment group reduced by 31.0%, 39.8%, 38.0% and 32.4% ((72.1±3.0) h vs.(104.5±2.9) h, (49.4±5.7) h vs.(82.1±3.1) h, (3.1±0.7) d vs.(5.0±0.9) d, (4.8±0.9) d vs. (7.1±0.8) d)), respectively; the pain scores on the day 2 and day 3 after operation and incidence of nausea and vomiting within 3 d after operation decreased by 50.0%, 65.5%, 26.0%(1.5±0.6 vs. 3.0±0.7, 1.0±0.6 vs. 2.9±0.6, 16.0%, 8/50 vs. 42.0%, 21/50), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=54.28, 35.72, 11.67, 13.66, 12.00 and 14.90, χ2=8.21, all P<0.01). The results of HRV analysis showed that the high frequency on day 3 was higher than that on day 1 of treatment group, and the ratio of low frequency to high frequency after operation was lower than that before operation of treatment group (0.5±0.1 vs. 0.4±0.1, 1.2±0.7 vs. 1.9±1.0), and the differences were statistically significant( t=-4.81 and 4.26, both P<0.01), which indicated TN could enhance vagal activity. Conclusions:TN promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function after gastrointestinal tumor operation, and can be used as an adjuvant therapy to accelerate the recovery of gastrointestinal function after gastrointestinal tumor operation.

Relationship between postoperative acute kidney injury and preoperative dehydration in patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal tumor / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and preoperative dehydration in the patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal tumor.Methods:A total of 231 patients, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ or Ⅱ, aged≥18 yr, undergoing elective surgery for gastrointestinal tumor with general anesthesia, were enrolled.Preoperative dehydration index was calculated according to preoperative urine color, specific gravity, osmotic pressure and creatinine.Preoperative dehydration was defined as dehydration index≥3.5.AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria.Logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between preoperative dehydration and postoperative AKI.Results:Of the 231 patients who met our inclusion criteria, 27 (11.7%) developed postoperative AKI, and 13 patients (48.1%) had preoperative dehydration among the patients developed postoperative AKI.The results of logistic analysis showed that preoperative dehydration was an independent risk factor for postoperative AKI in the patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal tumor ( OR=4.03, 95% confidence interval 1.72-9.39). Conclusion:Preoperative dehydration is an independent risk factor for postoperative AKI in the patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal tumor.
