Given scarce data regarding the relationship among age, complications, and survival beyond 30-day postoperative period for oncology patients in United States, this study identified age-related differences complications rate cause of 1-year mortality following colon cancer surgery. The NY State Cancer Registry Statewide Planning Research Cooperative System stage I–III resections (2004–2011). Multivariable logistic regression analyses assessed age (<65, 65–74, ⩾75), survival, death. Among 24...
National Comprehensive Cancer Network treatment guidelines for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer include neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by total mesorectal excision and adjuvant chemotherapy. The objective of the current study was to examine rate chemotherapy associated survival in stage II/III cancer.The 2006 2011 Data Base queried AJCC clinical who underwent surgical resection. A mixed effects multivariable logistic regression identified factors receipt Cox proportional...
High BMI is often used as a proxy for obesity and has been considered risk factor the development of an incisional hernia after abdominal surgery. However, does not accurately reflect fat distribution.The purpose this work was to investigate relationship among different measurements hernia.This retrospective cohort study.The study included single academic institution in New York from 2003 2010.The consists 193 patients who underwent colorectal cancer resection.Preoperative CT scans were...
To evaluate the impact of a primary medical versus surgical service on healthcare utilization and outcomes for adhesive small bowel obstruction (SBO) admissions.Adhesive-SBO typically requires hospital admission is associated with high costs. Given that most patients are managed nonoperatively, many admitted to hospitalists. However, comparisons between services have been limited single-institution studies.Unscheduled adhesive-SBO admissions in NY State from 2002 2013 were identified using...
To investigate the potential additive effects of blood transfusion and sepsis on colon cancer disease-specific survival, cardiovascular overall survival after surgery.Perioperative transfusions are associated with infectious complications increased risk recurrence through systemic inflammatory effects. Furthermore, recent studies have suggested an association among sepsis, subsequent inflammation, adverse outcomes. However, no study has investigated transfusion, in postoperative patients.The...
It is unclear whether traveling long distances to high-volume centers would compensate for travel burden among patients undergoing rectal cancer resection.The purpose of this study was determine operative volume outweighs the advantages being treated locally by comparing outcomes with at local, low-volume versus far, centers.This a population-based study.The National Cancer Database queried cancer.Patients stage II or III who underwent surgical resection between 2006 and 2012 were...
In March 2023, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network endorsed watch and wait for those with complete clinical response to total neoadjuvant therapy. Neoadjuvant therapy is highly efficacious, so this recommendation may have broad implications, but current trends in organ preservation US are unknown.
This study examines patient and operative factors associated with organ space infection (OSI) in children after appendectomy, specifically focusing on the role of approach.Although controversy exists regarding risk increased postoperative intra-abdominal infections laparoscopic this approach has been largely adopted treatment pediatric acute appendicitis.Children aged 2 to 18 years undergoing open or appendectomy for appendicitis were selected from 2012 American College Surgeons Pediatric...
BACKGROUND: Perioperative blood transfusions are associated with an increased risk of adverse postoperative outcomes through immunomodulatory effects. OBJECTIVE: The purpose this study was to identify factors variation in transfusion use after elective colorectal resection and infectious complications DESIGN: This a retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS: included resections New York State from 2001 2013. PATIENTS: consists 125,160 resections. Patients who were admitted nonelectively or before...
Abstract Background Studies examining long-term outcomes following resolution of an acute diverticular abscess have been limited to single-institution chart reviews. This observational cohort study compared between elective colectomy and non-operative management admission for initial abscess. Methods The Statewide Planning Research Cooperative System was queried unscheduled admissions in 2002–2010. Bivariable propensity-matched multivariable analyses stoma rates use healthcare patients who...
To investigate the effect of a laparoscopic approach on rate adhesion-related small bowel obstruction (SBO) following colorectal resection.Currently, there is little compelling evidence with regard to rates SBO after versus open abdominal surgery. Few studies have compared risk-adjusted and resection.The Statewide Planning Research Cooperative System was queried for elective resections in New York State from 2003 2010. A propensity score calculated account selection bias between choice...
Aims Lymph node yield (LNY) is used as a marker of adequate oncological resection. The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) currently recommends that at least 12 nodes are necessary to confirm node-negative disease for rectal cancer. A LNY not always achieved, particularly in patients who have undergone neoadjuvant treatment. This study attempts examine factors associated with and its prognostic impact following chemoradiation Methods 2006–2011 National Data Base was queried clinical...
This cohort study uses information obtained from the US National Cancer Database to evaluate trends in use of neoadjuvant therapy before tumor resection for various types cancer 2004 2016.
