Objective: The objective was to study morbidity and mortality associated with early closure (8–13 days) of a temporary stoma compared standard procedure (closure after > 12 weeks) rectal resection for cancer. Background: A ileostomy may reduce the risk pelvic sepsis anastomotic dehiscence. However, is afflicted complications requires second surgical (closure) its own complications. Early could cancer patients. Methods: days creation) late (>12 in multicenter randomized controlled trial, EASY...
Introduction Adaptation to living with a stoma is complex, and studies have shown that creation has great impact on patients' health related quality of life. The objective was explore the effect structured patient education program Therefore, we implemented interventions aimed at increasing life during after hospital admission. Materials Methods We designed case/control study adult patients admitted surgical ward for creation, irrespective type or reason stoma. included 50 in study. Health...
There is growing awareness of the need to explore patient reported outcomes in clinical trials. In Scandinavian Surgical Outcomes Research Group we are conducting several trials cooperation between Danish and Swedish surgical researchers, use questionnaires aimed at patients from both countries. relation this similar international cooperation, validity reliability translated central aspects.The purpose study was which methodological measures were used studies reporting translation...
PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to explore impact a permanent stoma on patients' everyday lives and gain further insight into their need for ostomy-related education. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: sample population comprised 15 persons with ostomies. Stomas were created manage colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease. research setting surgical department at hospital in Capitol Region Denmark associated University Copenhagen. METHODS: Focus group interviews conducted using phenomenological...
Aims and objectives To examine patients′ experiences of impact a temporary stoma on their everyday life. Furthermore, we wanted to generate new knowledge comprehension learning how live with stoma. Background There are many aspects, largely unexplored, that may influence adaptation life Amongst these, being in state is relatively unexplored have restrictive adaptation. Design Focus group interviews conducted seven patients were set up hermeneutic phenomenological perspective. Methods Data...
Abstract Background A temporary ileostomy may reduce symptoms from anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer resection. Earlier results of the EASY trial showed that early closure was associated with significantly fewer postoperative complications. The aim present study to compare health-related quality life (HRQOL) following versus late a ileostomy. Methods Early (at 8–13 days) compared more than 12 weeks) in multicentre RCT (EASY) included patients who underwent resection for cancer....
Aims and objectives To investigate experienced symptoms of parastomal bulging in relation to an ileostomy or colostomy. Background Parastomal is a common complication stoma formation that can affect patients’ physical, psychological social function. Symptom burdens reported by health professionals vary from asymptomatic high symptom load; however, experiences are lacking. Design method A qualitative design with focus group interviews was chosen for data collection. Twenty patients...
The aim was to investigate the incidence and risk factors for parastomal bulging, a clinically important complication, in patients with an ileostomy or colostomy.The Danish Stoma Database Capital Region prospectively collects data on stoma up year after surgery. care nurses assessed main outcome, bulging. We linked from Anaesthesia Database. Cumulative of bulging over first calculated death reversal as competing risks. Risk were investigated using exploratory approach.In study population...
Abstract Background Hospital costs associated with the treatment of rectal cancer are considerable and formation a temporary stoma accounts for additional costs. Results from EASY trial showed that early closure ileostomy was significantly fewer postoperative complications but no difference in health-related quality life up to 12 months after resection. The aim present study perform cost analysis within framework trial. Methods Early (8–13 days) compared late (> weeks) randomized...
Objective The objective is to evaluate efficiency based on data morbidity and mortality, health-related quality of life healthcare-related costs after early reversal temporary ileostomy rectal resection for cancer compared with the standard procedure (late reversal). Background Reversal a generally associated low mortality. However, ostomy may cause complications requiring reoperation subsequent major complications, in ranges from 0% 7–9% minor varying 4–5% 30%. Based studies exploring...
Objective: To investigate stoma specific and generic HRQoL in patients with without a parastomal bulge. Background: Most have to live their complicated by How this affects quality of life remains unclear. Methods: Patients the Danish Stoma Database completed Short-form 36 health survey stoma-QOL questionnaire. Linear regression analysis, adjusted for potential confounding factors, provided mean score differences 95% confidence intervals each scale item. Cohens d estimates effect size....
Timely evaluation and initiation of treatment is the key for improving stroke outcomes, although minimizing time from symptom onset to first contact with healthcare professionals remains a challenge. We aimed identify patient-related factors associated early hospital arrival.In this cross-sectional survey, we included patients or transient ischemic attack admitted directly one two noncomprehensive units transferred comprehensive centers in Capital Region Denmark. Patient-reported arrival...
Abstract Aim The aim of this work was to examine (1) the incidence primary repair, (2) recurrent repair and (3) types performed in patients with parastomal bulging. Method Prospectively collected data on bulging from Danish Stoma Database were linked surgical National Patient Register. Survival statistics provided cumulative incidences time until repair. Results In study sample 1016 a permanent stoma bulge, 180 (18%) underwent 9% [95% CI (8%; 11%)] within 1 year 19% (17%; 22%)] 5 years after...
