Abstract Background Few surgical studies have provided adjusted comparative postoperative outcome data among contemporary patients with and without COVID-19 infection treated before the pandemic. The aim of this study was to determine impact performing emergency surgery in concomitant infection. Methods Patients who underwent general gastrointestinal from March June 2020, 2019 25 Spanish hospitals were included a retrospective (COVID-CIR). main 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes...
Objective: To develop and validate a risk prediction model of 90-day mortality (90DM) using machine learning in large multicenter cohort patients undergoing gastric cancer resection with curative intent. Background: The 90DM rate after gastrectomy for is quality care indicator surgical oncology. There lack well-validated instruments personalized prognosis cancer. Methods: Consecutive adenocarcinoma who underwent potentially between 2014 2021 registered the Spanish EURECCA Esophagogastric...
Objective To determine changes in incretins, systemic inflammation, intestinal permeability and microbiome modifications 12 months after metabolic RYGB (mRYGB) patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) their relationship improvement. Materials methods Prospective single-center non-randomized controlled study, including class II-III obesity T2D undergoing mRYGB. At baseline one year surgery we performed body composition measurements, biochemical analysis, a meal tolerance test (MTT) lipid (LT)...
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate different preoperative immune, inflammatory, and nutritional scores their best cut-off values as predictors poorer overall survival (OS) disease-free (DFS) in patients who underwent curative gastric cancer resection. Methods: This a retrospective observational multicentre based on data the Spanish EURECCA Esophagogastric Cancer Registry. Time-dependent Youden index log-rank test were used obtain cut-offs 18 biomarkers for OS DFS. An adjusted...
To describe a case of Wernicke's encephalopathy after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.Emergency Department and gastrointestinal surgery department.A 20-year-old man class III obesity (BMI 50.17kg/m(2)) underwent gastrectomy with uneventful recovery. Five weeks he was admitted in the Emergency because persistent vomiting dysphagia to solids. Esophagogastroduodenal transit upper endoscopy were requested but no relevant findings shown. Laboratory analyses showed vitamin B1 12.2ng/mL 48h...
Abstract Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus seems to contribute significantly increased postoperative complications and mortality after emergency surgical procedures. Additionally, fear of COVID-19 contagion delays consultation patients, resulting in deterioration their acute diseases by time consultation. In specific case urgent digestive surgery both factors worsen course prognosis. Main working hypothesis: infection increases 30-day-mortality for any cause patients submitted...
There is scant evidence of the long-term effects bariatric surgery on bone mineral density (BMD). We compared BMD changes in patients with severe obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) 5 years after randomization to metabolic gastric bypass (mRYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG) greater curvature plication (GCP). studied influence first year gastrointestinal hormone final outcomes. Forty-five patients, averaging 49.4 (7.8) old body mass index (BMI) 39.4 (1.9) kg/m2, were included. at lumbar spine (LS)...
The aim of this study was to determine if the prognostic value preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) could be modified by presence postoperative complications (POC) and their severity in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma resected curative intent.
