Multivariate analysis for risk factors of bile leakage after hepatectomy / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyse risk factors for bile leakage after liver resection.Methods Between January 2011 and December 2012,469 patients underwent elective hepatectomy.We prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed demographic data,pathological variables,and perioperative variables.Univariate analysis screened the related factors of bile leakage after liver resection.Multivariate analysis identified the independent risk factors of postoperative bile leakage.Results 469 patients were included in the analysis.The prevalence of bile leakage was 22.6％ (n =106).Univariate analysis identified the following risk factors as male gender,portal hypertension,steatosis,cirrhosis,ChildPugh grade,ascites,operative time,intraoperative transfusion,intraoperative blood loss,portal triad clamping,microwave solidification,lymphadenectomy,number of tumor,tumor margin,tumor capsular,diameter of tumor,portal vein invasion or portal branch thrombosis,number of abdominal drains.Multivariate analysis identified 4 independent risk factors for postoperative bile leakageCirrhosis [OR =13.2 (2.3,76.9),P =0.004],steatosis [OR =73.1 (17.7,301.5),P ＜ 0.001],infusion volume of the surgery day [OR=1.0 (1.0,1.0),P=0.019] and diameter of tumor [OR=1.2 (1.1,1.3),P=0.003].Conclusions Cirrhosis,steatosis,transfusion volume of the surgery day,and tumor size were risk factors for bile leakage after major liver resection.
