Analysis of perioperative efficacy and safety of cytoreductive surgery in the treatment of colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases / 中华胃肠外科杂志

Objective: To analyzed perioperative safety of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for patients with colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis (CRPM) and to construct a predictive model for serious advese events (SAE). Methods: A descriptive case-series study was conducted to retrospectively collect the clinicopathological data and treatment status (operation time, number of organ resection, number of peritoneal resection, and blood loss, etc.) of 100 patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer or appendix mucinous adenocarcinoma who underwent CRS at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2019 to August 2021. There were 53 males and 47 females. The median age was 52.0 (39.0-61.8) years old. Fifty-two patients had synchronous peritoneal metastasis and 48 had metachronous peritoneal metastasis. Fifty-two patients received preoperative neoadjuvant therapy. Primary tumor was located in the left colon, the right colon and the rectum in 43, 28 and 14 cases, respectively. Fifteen patients had appendix mucinous adenocarcinoma. Measures of skewed distribution are expressed as M (range). Perioperative safety was analyzed, perioperative grade III or higher was defined as SAE. Risk factors associated with the occurrence of SAEs were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. A nomogram was plotted by R software to predict SAE, the efficacy of which was evaluated using the area under the ROC curve (AUC) and correction curves. Results: The median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score was 16 (1-39). Sixty-eight (68.0%) patients achieved complete tumor reduction (tumor reduction score: 0-1). Sixty-two patients were treated with intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy (HIPEC). Twenty-one (21.0%) patients developed 37 SAEs of grade III-IV, including 2 cases of ureteral injury, 6 cases of perioperative massive hemorrhage or anemia, 7 cases of digestive system, 15 cases of respiratory system, 4 cases of cardiovascular system, 1 case of skin incision dehiscence, and 2 cases of abdominal infection. No grade V SAE was found. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that CEA (OR: 8.980, 95%CI: 1.428-56.457, P=0.019), PCI score (OR: 7.924, 95%CI: 1.486-42.259, P=0.015), intraoperative albumin infusion (OR: 48.959, 95%CI: 2.115-1133.289, P=0.015) and total volume of infusion (OR: 24.729, 95%CI: 3.956-154.562, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for perioperative SAE in CRS (all P<0.05). Based on the result of multivariate regression models, a predictive nomogram was constructed. Internal verification showed that the AUC of the nomogram was 0.926 (95%CI: 0.872-0.980), indicating good prediction accuracy and consistency. Conclusions: CRS is a safe and effective method to treat CRPM. Strict screening of patients and perioperative fluid management are important guarantees for reducing the morbidity of SAE.

Evaluación de riesgo en el paciente de radioterapia: Hospital V. I. Lenin de Holguín / Risk appraisal in the radiotherapy patient:“V. I. Lenin” Hospital in Holguin province

Un accidente es provocado habitualmente por la ocurrencia simultánea de errores humanos y fallas en los equipos. En aplicaciones médicas, la radioterapia es la de mayor riesgo por la complejidad que presentan sus tratamientos en los pacientes. Los diferentes accidentes que han ocurrido en el mundo en esta práctica muestran la necesidad de aplicar análisis de seguridad capaces de identificar y prevenir exposiciones accidentales. En tal sentido, se reconoce la efectividad del método semicuantitativo de “matrices de riesgo”, que consiste en un análisis combinado de la frecuencia de ocurrencia del suceso que da inicio al accidente, la probabilidad de errores humanos o fallas de barreras de seguridad y la gravedad de las consecuencias de los sucesos, lo que permite defi nir criterios de aceptabilidad en base al riesgo. En esta investigación se aplicó este método para realizar un análisis de evaluación de seguridad al servicio de radioterapia de Holguín que posee un equipo de Cobalto- 60 Theratron Phoenix. El estudio permitió cuantificar las defensas que tiene el servicio e identificó los sucesos más significativos que contribuyen al riesgo desde el punto de vista de la seguridad, así como las recomendaciones más apropiadas para reducirlo. Se estimó el riesgo de un gran número de secuencias accidentales provocadas por todos los posibles errores humanos y fallos de equipo en el servicio, donde se apreció que ninguna de las secuencias accidentales fue de riesgo muy alto, lo cual confirmó que no existe riesgo inminente que pudiera provocar un accidente en esta instalación.

An accident is usually caused by the simultaneous occurrence of human errors and equipment failure. In medical applications, the radiation therapy is the increased risk of complexity presented by treatments in patients. The different accidents that have occurred in the world in this practice show the need for safety analysis in order to identify and prevent accidental exposures. In this regard, the effectiveness of the semiquantitative method of “risk matrices”, which consists of a combined analysis of the frequency of occurrence of the event causing the accident, the chance of human errors or failure of the safety barriers, in addition to recognizing the seriousness of the consequences resulting from such events; which defi ne the acceptability criteria based on risk. In this research, this method was applied for safety evaluation analysis of the radiotherapy service at Holguin hospital, which uses a cobalt 60 Theratron Phoenix equipment. The study allowed to quantify the radiotherapy service strengths, to identify the most signifi cant contributors to risk events from the viewpoint of safety, as well as to adopt the most appropriate mitigation measures in order to decrease the ocurrence of such accidents. The risk of a large number of accident sequences caused by all possible human errors and equipment failures in the service was estimated, and it was also observed and consequently concluded that none of the accident sequences was considered as very high risk thus confirming that there is no imminent risk which could result in an accident at this facility.
