Impact of Frailty on Postoperative Dysphagia in Patients Undergoing Elective Cardiovascular Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postextubation dysphagia (PED) is a serious postoperative complication following cardiovascular surgery that can lead to a worse prognosis. On the other hand, frailty is a prognostic factor in patients who undergo cardiac surgery.

Objectives

This study investigated the effect of frailty status on PED and impact of PED on postoperative complications.

Methods

This single-center retrospective cohort study included 644 consecutive patients who underwent elective cardiovascular surgery between May 1, 2014, and December 31, 2020; they were assigned to the PED or non-PED group based on postoperative swallowing status, and postoperative complications were investigated. Frailty status and physical functions, including walking speed, grip strength, Short Physical Performance Battery, and 6-minute walking distance, were preoperatively assessed; the frailty-status cutoff for predicting PED was determined from the receiver-operating characteristic curve.

Results

In this study cohort (mean age 67.7 years), the overall PED prevalence was 14.8%; preoperative frailty had a significantly higher prevalence in the PED group (50.0%) than in the non-PED group (20.3%; P < 0.001). PED correlated with a higher incidence of postoperative pneumonia and prolonged intensive care unit or hospital stay (P < 0.05 for all). After adjustment for confounders, multiple regression analysis revealed that preoperative frailty was independently associated with PED (P < 0.001).

Conclusions

PED occurred commonly after cardiovascular surgery and increased the risk of postoperative complications. Preoperative frailty was independently associated with PED. The 6-minute walking distance was the most powerful predictor of PED. Evaluation of preoperative frailty status is important for risk stratification and prevention of postoperative morbidity in patients undergoing surgery.

Project description:BackgroundPostoperative ileus is a major complication for persons undergoing abdominal surgery. Daikenchuto, a Japanese traditional medicine (Kampo), is a drug that may reduce postoperative ileus.ObjectivesTo assess the efficacy and safety of Daikenchuto for reducing prolonged postoperative ileus in persons undergoing elective abdominal surgery.Search methodsWe searched the following databases on 3 July 2017: CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, ICHUSHI, WHO (World Health Organization) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), EU Crinical Trials registry (EU-CTR), UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR), ClinicalTrials.gov, The Japan Society for Oriental Medicine (JSOM), American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endscopic Surgeons (SAGES). We set no limitations on language or date of publication.Selection criteriaWe included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing Daikenchuto with any control condition in adults, 18 years of age or older, undergoing elective abdominal surgery.Data collection and analysisWe applied standard methodological procedures expected by Cochrane. Two review authors independently reviewed the articles identified by literature searches, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias of the included studies using the Cochrane software Review Manager 5.Main resultsWe included seven RCTs with a total of 1202 participants. Overall, we judged the risk of bias as low in four studies and high in three studies. We are uncertain whether Daikenchuto reduced time to first flatus (mean difference (MD) -11.32 hours, 95% confidence interval (CI) -17.45 to -5.19; two RCTs, 83 participants; very low-quality evidence), or time to first bowel movement (MD -9.44 hours, 95% CI -22.22 to 3.35; four RCTs, 500 participants; very low-quality evidence) following surgery. There was little or no difference in time to resumption of regular solid food following surgery (MD 3.64 hours, 95% CI -24.45 to 31.74; two RCTs, 258 participants; low-quality evidence). There were no adverse events in either arm of the five RCTs that reported on drug-related adverse events (risk difference (RD) 0.00, 95% CI -0.02 to 0.02, 568 participants, low-quality evidence). We are uncertain of the effect of Daikenchuto on patient satisfaction (MD 0.09, 95% CI -0.19 to 0.37; one RCT, 81 participants; very low-quality of evidence). There was little or no difference in the incidence of any re-interventions for postoperative ileus before leaving hospital (risk ratio (RR) 0.99, 95% CI 0.06 to 15.62; one RCT, 207 participants; moderate-quality evidence), or length of hospital stay (MD -0.49 days, 95% CI -1.21 to 0.22; three RCTs, 292 participants; low-quality evidence).Authors' conclusionsEvidence from current literature was unclear whether Daikenchuto reduced postoperative ileus in patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery, due to the small number of participants in the meta-analyses. Very low-quality evidence means we are uncertain whether Daikenchuto improved postoperative flatus or bowel movement. Further well-designed and adequately powered studies are needed to assess the efficacy of Daikenchuto.

Project description:IntroductionSeveral immunonutritional supplements have recently been developed. However, improvements in preoperative immunonutritional conditions using these supplements have not been analyzed in patients undergoing thoracic surgery.MethodsThis prospective, single-arm, single-institution pilot study involved patients planning to undergo thoracic surgery. Forty adults with a poor preoperative immunonutritional status were enrolled. The patients freely selected one of three oral immunonutritional supplements (IMPACTⓇ, MEINⓇ, or AboundⓇ) and started taking it on an outpatient basis from 7 to 14 days before thoracic surgery. The primary endpoint was the rate of improvement in three immunonutritional parameters on the hospitalization day: body mass index (BMI), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI). These improvement rates were compared with those of a matched historical control group.ResultsThe PNI and GNRI improvement rates were significantly higher in the immunonutritional support group than in the control group (PNI: 103.1% ± 0.6% vs. 98.9% ± 1.3%, p = 0.0391; GNRI: 101.7% ± 0.8% vs. 99.3% ± 0.8%, p = 0.0266), although there was no significant difference in the BMI improvement rate (101.0% ± 0.6% vs. 100.2% ± 0.7%, p = 0.3626). The PNI and GNRI improvement rates were significantly higher in the IMPACTⓇ support group than in the control group (PNI: 104.5% ± 2.4% vs. 98.9% ± 1.3%, p = 0.0212; GNRI: 101.6% ± 1.1% vs. 99.3% ± 0.8%, p = 0.0415).ConclusionsThe present study revealed that short-term preoperative immunonutritional support can actually improve immunonutritional parameters immediately before surgery. In particular, preoperative immunonutritional support using IMPACTⓇ supplementation might be the most promising agent in patients with a poor immunonutritional condition undergoing elective thoracic surgery.Trial registrationUniversity Hospital Medical Information Network 000035851.
