Cumulative damage effect of jaundice may be an effective predictor of complications in patients undergoing radical resection of Bismuth type II or above hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is currently no preoperative risk assessment system for predicting complications after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. This study examined the association between the cumulative damage effect of jaundice (CDEJ) and the complications of radical resection of Bismuth II or above hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Methods

Patients who underwent radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, from April 2010 to January 2018 were retrospectively included.

Results

Of the 171 included patients, 115 (67.3%) patients experienced complications. Multivariate analysis found that CDEJ [odds ratio (OR) =1.0001, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) =1.000027-1.000239, P=0.014], cho
