Adjuvant chemotherapy as a risk factor for chronic postoperative pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a 10-year single-centre retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The association between adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) and chronic postoperative pain (CPP) after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer resection has not yet been reported. We, therefore, investigated the association between AC and the long-term incidence of CPP after VATS.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 3015 consecutive patients who underwent VATS for lung cancer between 2007 and 2016. The patients were divided into 2 groups: those who received (AC group) and those who did not receive (non-AC group) AC within 3 months after VATS. Propensity score analysis was performed to adjust for baseline differences between the 2 groups. The cumulative incidence of CPP at the intervals of 3 months, over 36 months, was compared before and after matching. A Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to investigate the predictors of CPP after VATS.

Results

We included and assessed 2222 patients in this study. Of these, 320 patients (14.4%) received AC within 3 months post-VATS. The cumulative incidence of CPP during 36 months post-surgery was significantly higher in the AC group than in the non-AC group, before and after matching (log-rank test; P = 0.002 and 0.027, respectively). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis also showed that AC was a significant risk factor for CPP (hazard ratio 1.62, 95% confidence interval 1.16-2.28; P = 0.005).

Conclusions

Our results indicate that AC is an important risk factor for CPP after VATS. Further understanding of the risk factors for CPP may facilitate its prediction and treatment.

Project description:PurposeThis study aimed to investigate whether preoperative computerized tomography-guided hookwire localization-associated pain could affect acute and chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).MethodsWe enrolled 161 adult patients who underwent elective VATS; sixty-nine patients experienced hookwire localization (Group A) and 69 did not (Group B). Group A was further subdivided into the multiple localization group (n=35, Group Amultiple) and the single localization group (n=34, Group Asingle) according to the number of hookwires. The numerical rating scale (NRS) was used preoperatively, during recovery at the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), and the first two days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Furthermore, multivariate regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors associated with CPSP. The postoperative adverse events, length of hospital stay, and satisfaction in pain management were also recorded.ResultsThe incidence and severity of acute postoperative pain were similar between Group A and Group B (p > 0.05). The incidence (56.5% vs 30.4%, p = 0.002) and the NRS scores (2.0 [2.0-3.0] vs 1.0 [1.0-2.0], p = 0.011) for CPSP were significantly higher in Group A than in Group B at 3 months postoperatively. On subgroup analysis, compared with Group Asingle, the intensity of CPSP (2.0 [2.0-3.0] vs 2.0 [1.0-2.0], p = 0.005) in Group Amultiple was slightly higher at 3 months postoperatively. Conversely, the CPSP incidence (60.0% vs 29.4%, p = 0.011) was significantly higher at 6 months postoperatively in Group Amultiple. The multivariate regression analysis further validated hookwire localization as a risk factor for CPSP (odds ratio: 6.199, 95% confidence interval 2.049-18.749, p = 0.001). Patient satisfaction relating to pain management at 3 months postoperatively was lower in Group A (p = 0.034).ConclusionThe preoperative pain stress of hookwire localization increased the incidence and intensity of CPSP rather than acute pain at 3 months postoperatively, especially in patients with multiple hookwires.

Project description:BackgroundThe effectiveness of preemptive analgesia (PA) for relieving postoperative pain and reducing the side effects of analgesics following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has not yet been determined. This study intends to test the clinical application value of PA in the perioperative period of VATS.MethodsFrom January 2018 to August 2018, we divided patients who underwent VATS in our hospital into a trial group (PA group) and a control group (traditional analgesia group, TA group). The PA group received a PA program, and the TA group was administered a conventional postoperative analgesia scheme. We compared the two groups according to the intensity of postoperative pain using the numeric rating scale (NRS), the incidence rate of analgesic drug-related adverse reactions, and the severity of stress-induced inflammation.ResultsOne hundred five cases from the PA group, and 80 cases from the TA group were included in the analysis. There were no significant differences between the two groups in baseline characteristics (P>0.05). The PA group had a lower incidence rate of side effects from the analgesics compared to the TA group, and there was a statistical difference at 48 and 72 hours after surgery (P<0.05). The PA group had a slightly lower score than the TA group for postoperative resting pain. However, this difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The motion pain NRS score of the PA group was lower than the TA group, and although there were no significant differences at 4, 24, and 48 hours (P>0.05), there was a statistically significant difference at 72 hours (P<0.05). In the subset of patients with motion pain NRS ≥3 points, the PA group was marginally higher than the TA group at 4 hours (P>0.05) but was lower than the TA group at 24, 48, and 72 hours, with a statistically significant difference at 24 and 72 hours (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in perioperative stress indexes between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionsPA can relieve postoperative pain following VATS and reduce the incidence rate of analgesic drug-related adverse effects.
