ObjectiveTo explore risk factors associated with mortality and restenosis after the surgery for congenital pulmonary venous stenosis (CPVS) combined with congenital heart disease.MethodsFrom May 2007 to August 2019, 58 patients received surgical relief of CPVS combined with congenital heart disease, including 24 males and 34 females, aged 17.2±26.3 months, weighing 8.8±8.2 kg. Endpoints were death and restenosis, and the risk factors were analyzed. A univariate and multivariate risk analyses were performed.ResultsPreoperative pulmonary venous stenosis severity score (PVSSS) was 4.5±2.7. Average pulmonary vein counts with CPVS was 1.9±1.0. There were 2 (3.4%) early deaths. The mean follow-up time was 2-145 (49.8±40.0) months. The 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 86.7%, 81.3%, 78.5% and 73.6%, respectively, and the pulmonary venous restenosis-free rates were 79.6%, 68.5%, 68.5% and 68.5%, respectively. Preterm birth was an independent risk factor for mortality. The pulmonary venous peak flow rate ≥1.2 m/s at discharge was an independent risk factor for mortality and restenosis.ConclusionThe prognosis of CPVS is still poor. Postoperative residual stenosis at discharge is an independent risk factor for death and restenosis.
ObjectiveTo investigate the independent risk factors associated with postoperative acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients undergoing type A aortic dissection surgery.MethodsThe clinical data of 147 patients who underwent acute type A aortic dissection surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from 2015 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 110 males at age of 51.9±10.1 years and 37 females at age of 54.3±11.1 years. According to whether the patients developed ARDS after surgery, all of the patients were divided into a ARDS group or a non-ARDS group. Logistic regress analysis was utilized to establish the predictive mode to identify the independent risk factors related to ARDS.ResultsOf the patients, 25 developed postoperative ARDS. Among them, 5 patients were mild ARDS, 13 patients were moderate, and 7 patients were severe ARDS. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that deep hypothermic circulatory arrest time [odds ratio (OR)=1.067, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.014-1.124, P=0.013], cardiopulmonary bypass time (OR=1.012, 95%CI 1.001-1.022, P=0.027) and perioperative plasma input (OR=1.001, 95%CI 1.000-1.002, P=0.011) were independently associated with ARDS in patients undergoing acute A aortic dissection surgery. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated a good discrimination ability of the logistic regression model, with an area under the curve of 0.835 (95%CI 0.740-0.929, P=0.000).ConclusionDuration of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, cardiopulmonary bypass time and perioperative plasma are independent risk factors for postoperative ARDS in patients undergoing type A aortic dissection surgery.

MethodsWe searched the CNKI, SinoMed, Wanfang data, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, The Cochrane Library database from inception to September 2022. Case-control studies, and cohort studies on risk factors for postoperative delirium after surgery for Stanford type A aortic dissection were collected to identify studies about the risk factors for postoperative delirium after surgery for Stanford type A aortic dissection. Quality of the included studies was evaluated by the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). The meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 15.0 software. ResultsA total of 21 studies were included involving 3385 patients. The NOS score was 7-8 points. The results of meta-analysis showed that age (MD=2.58, 95%CI 1.44 to 3.72, P＜0.000 01), male (OR=1.33, 95%CI 1.12 to 1.59, P=0.001), drinking history (OR=1.45, 95%CI 1.04 to 2.04, P=0.03), diabetes history (OR=1.44, 95%CI 1.12 to 1.85, P=0.005), preoperative leukocytes (MD=1.17, 95%CI 0.57 to 1.77), P=0.000 1), operation time (MD=21.82, 95%CI 5.84 to 37.80, P=0.007), deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) time (MD=3.02, 95%CI 1.04 to 5.01, P=0.003), aortic occlusion time (MD=8.94, 95%CI 2.91 to 14.97, P=0.004), cardiopulmonary bypass time (MD=13.92, 95%CI 5.92 to 21.91, P=0.0006), ICU stay (MD=2.77, 95%CI 1.55 to 3.99, P＜0.000 01), hospital stay (MD=3.46, 95%CI 2.03 to 4.89, P＜0.0001), APACHEⅡ score (MD=2.76, 95%CI 1.59 to 3.93, P＜0.000 01), ventilation support time (MD=6.10, 95%CI 3.48 to 8.72, P＜0.000 01), hypoxemia (OR=2.32, 95%CI 1.40 to 3.82, P=0.001), the minimum postoperative oxygenation index (MD=−79.52, 95%CI −125.80 to −33.24, P=0.000 8), blood oxygen saturation (MD=−3.50, 95%CI −4.49 to −2.51, P＜0.000 01), postoperative hemoglobin (MD=−6.35, 95%CI −9.21 to −3.50, P＜0.000 1), postoperative blood lactate (MD=0.45, 95%CI 0.15 to 0.75, P=0.004), postoperative electrolyte abnormalities (OR=5.94, 95%CI 3.50 to 10.09, P＜0.000 01), acute kidney injury (OR=1.92, 95%CI 1.34 to 2.75, P=0.000 4) and postoperative body temperature (MD=0.79, 95%CI 0.69 to 0.88, P＜0.000 01) were associated with postoperative delirium after surgery for Stanford type A aortic dissection. ConclusionThe current evidence shows that age, male, drinking history, diabetes history, operation time, DHCA time, aortic occlusion time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, ICU stay, hospital stay, APACHEⅡ score, ventilation support time, hypoxemia and postoperative body temperature are risk factors for the postoperative delirium after surgery for Stanford type A aortic dissection. Oxygenation index, oxygen saturation, and hemoglobin number are protective factors for delirium after Stanford type A aortic dissection.
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors of adjacent fractures after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).MethodsA total of 2 216 patients who received PVP due to symptomatic OVCF between January 2014 and January 2017 and met the selection criteria were selected as study subjects. The clinical data was collected, including gender, age, height, body mass, history of smoking and drinking, whether the combination of hypertension, diabetes, coronary arteriosclerosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bone mineral density, the number of fractured vertebrae, the amount of cement injected into single vertebra, the cement leakage, and whether regular exercise after operation, whether regular anti-osteoporosis treatment after operation. Firstly, single factor analysis was performed on the observed indicators to preliminarily screen the influencing factors of adjacent fractures after PVP. Then, logistic regression analysis was carried out for relevant indicators with statistical significance to screen risk factors.ResultsAll patients were followed up 12-24 months, with an average of 15.8 months. Among them, 227 patients (10.24%) had adjacent fractures. The univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences between the fracture group and non-fracture group in age, gender, preoperative bone density, history of smoking and drinking, COPD, the number of fractured vertebrae and the amount of bone cement injected into the single vertebra, as well as regular exercise after operation, regular anti-osteoporosis treatment after operation (P<0.05). Further multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the elderly and female, history of smoking, irregular exercise after operation, irregular anti-osteoporosis treatment after operation, low preoperative bone density, large number of fractured vertebrae, and small amount of bone cement injected into the single vertebra were risk factors for adjacent fractures after PVP in OVCF patients (P<0.05).ConclusionThe risk of adjacent fractures after PVP increases in elderly, female patients with low preoperative bone mineral density, large number of fractured vertebrae, and insufficient bone cement injection. The patients need to quit smoking, regular exercise, and anti-osteoporosis treatment after PVP.
Objective To investigate the risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. Methods The data of the patients who underwent robotic cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) from July 2016 to June 2022 in Daping Hospital of Army Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether arrhythmia occurred after operation, the patients were divided into an arrhythmia group and a non-arrhythmia group. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic analysis were used to screen the risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. ResultsA total of 146 patients were enrolled, including 55 males and 91 females, with an average age of 43.03±13.11 years. There were 23 patients in the arrhythmia group and 123 patients in the non-arrhythmia group. One (0.49%) patient died in the hospital. Univariate analysis suggested that age, body weight, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, left atrial anteroposterior diameter, left ventricular anteroposterior diameter, right ventricular anteroposterior diameter, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, uric acid, red blood cell width, operation time, CPB time, aortic cross-clamping time, and operation type were associated with postoperative arrhythmia (P<0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis suggested that direct bilirubin (OR=1.334, 95%CI 1.003-1.774, P=0.048) and aortic cross-clamping time (OR=1.018, 95%CI 1.005-1.031, P=0.008) were independent risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. In the arrhythmia group, postoperative tracheal intubation time (P<0.001), intensive care unit stay (P<0.001) and postoperative hospital stay (P<0.001) were significantly prolonged, and postoperative high-dose blood transfusion events were significantly increased (P=0.002). Conclusion Preoperative direct bilirubin level and aortic cross-clamping time are independent risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. Postoperative tracheal intubation time, intensive care unit stay, and postoperative hospital stay are significantly prolonged in patients with postoperative arrhythmia, and postoperative high-dose blood transfusion events are significantly increased.
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors of accidental parathyroidectomy following thyroid surgery.MethodsData of patients who accepted at least total thyroidectomy in the Center for Diagnosis and Treatment of Thyroid and Parathyroid Diseases between January 2013 and June 2016 was collected retrospectively. According to the appearance or non-appearance of parathyroid gland in the specimens after pathologic examination, the patients were divided into accidental parathyroidectomy group and non-accidental parathyroidectomy group. Clinical data was collected for comparison between the two groups. The risk factors of accidental parathyroidectomy were indentified with univariate analysis and multivariate analysis.ResultsA total of 983 patients, 50 patients in the accidental parathyroidectomy group and 933 patients in the non-accidental parathyroidectomy group, were included in the study. Incidence of temporary hypoparathyroidism was 66.0% (33/50) in the accidental parathyroidectomy group and 36.2% (338/933) in the non-accidental parathyroidectomy group, there was significant difference between the two groups (χ2=19.903, P<0.05). Incidence of permanent hypoparathyroidism was 2.0% (1/50) in the accidental parathyroidectomy group and 0.4% (4/933) in the non-accidental parathyroidectomy group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=2.315, P=0.128). Univariate analysis showed that bilateral central lymph nodes dissection (P=0.004) and the number of identified parathyroid glands ≤2 (P=0.002) were risk factors of accidental parathyroidectomy. Multivariate analysis showed that bilateral central lymph nodes dissection [OR=2.553, 95% CI was (1.236, 5.277), P=0.011] and the number of identified parathyroid glands ≤2 [OR=2.819, 95% CI was (1.423, 5.581), P=0.003] were independent risk factors of accidental parathyroidectomy.ConclusionsAfter careful consideration of the possible risks and benefits, bilateral central lymph nodes dissection should be performed rationally. Thyroid surgeons should improve the ability of identification of parathyroid gland to reduce the incidence of accidental parathyroidectomy.
ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics and risk factors of lymph node metastasis in thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).MethodsThe clinical data of 407 patients with ESCC who underwent radical resection of esophageal carcinoma from December 2012 to October 2018 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 390 males and 17 females with a median age of 63 (38-82) years. Esophageal lesions were found in 26 patients of upper thoracic segment, 190 patients of middle thoracic segment and 191 patients of lower thoracic segment. ResultsAmong the patients, 232 (57.0%) were found to have cervical, thoracic and/or abdominal lymph node metastasis. The lymphatic metastasis rates of cervical, upper, middle, lower mediastinal nodes and abdominal nodes were 0.7%, 8.8%, 21.4%, 16.7% and 37.1%, respectively. The adjacent lymph node metastasis alone occurred in 50.0% patients, and the multistage or skip lymph node metastasis accounted for 29.3% and 20.7%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the length of esophageal lesion, T stage, degree of tumor differentiation, vascular cancer embolus and nerve invasion were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis.ConclusionThe rates of lymph node metastasis are similar in the upper, middle and lower thoracic ESCC. The main pattern of lymph node metastasis is the adjacent lymph node metastasis, followed by multistage and skip lymph node metastases. The length of esophageal lesion, T stage, degree of tumor differentiation, vascular cancer embolus and nerve invasion are independent factors for lymph node metastasis. The operation and dissection range should be selected according to the location of tumor and the characteristics of the lesion.
摘要:目的:探讨老年耐亚胺培南铜绿假单胞菌(IRPA)感染的危险因素以指导临床救治。 方法:采用病例对照研究,选取四川省人民医院干部科2006年1月~2008年12月IRPA院内感染老年患者32例,并随机选择同时期敏感铜绿假单胞菌院内感染48例作为对照,采用单因素(t检验,χ2检验)及多因素Logistic回归进行分析。结果:IRPA分离率为34.8%,IRPA对抗生素的耐药性远远高于敏感铜绿假单胞菌组,但对阿米卡星敏感率达81.3%。单因素分析发现,下列因素与IRPA感染有关:高龄、住院时间≥4周、高急性生理和慢性健康状况(APACHEⅡ)评分、慢性肺部疾病(慢性阻塞性肺疾病COPD/支气管扩张)、分离出IRPA前2周用过亚胺培南/美罗培南、早期联用抗生素、院内获得性肺炎(HAP)。多因素Logistic回归分析表明:长程住院［比值比(OR)= 14.887］,APACHEⅡ评分≥16分(OR=38.908)以及分离出IRPA前2周用过亚胺培南/美罗培南(OR =12.945)是IRPA感染的独立危险因素。结论:长程住院、APACHEⅡ评分≥16分以及亚胺培南/美罗培南的使用是IRPA感染的危险因素。IRPA对阿米卡星敏感率相对较高,但治疗难度大。Abstract: Objective: To study the infection status and risk factors of nosocomial infection caused by imipenemresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (IRPA) in elderly patients. Methods: By a casecontrol study, the data of 32 cases of IRPA nosocomial infections were analyzed from Jan. 2006. to Dec. 2008 in cadres Ward of Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital; 48 cases of Imipenemsensitive pseudomonas aeruginosa infection were randomized as control. Univariate analysis (T test and chisquare test )and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used for statistics. Results: The resistance to antibiotics of IRPA is much higher than the sensitive group.81.3％ of IRPA were sensitive to amikacin. According to univariate analysis,the factors associated with the infection caused by IRPA were age, length of stay in hospital more than 4 weeks, high score of APACHEⅡ, chronic pulmonary disease (COPD/bronchiectasis),imipenem/meropenem used 2 weeks before isolation of IRPA, early combination therapy of antibiotics and hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified three independent factors: Length of stay in hospital more than 4 weeks, APACHEⅡ score≥16 and imipenem/meropenem used 2 weeks before isolation of IRPA. Conclusion: Long length of stay in hospital, APACHEⅡ score ≥16 and previous imipenem/meropenem use were independent risk factors for IRPA infection. Although the sensitivity of IRPA to amikacin was relatively high, it was difficult to treat in clinical practice.
ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for postoperative mortality of elder patients with intertrochanteric fractures.MethodsPatients with intertrochanteric fractures who underwent proximal femoral interlocking intramedullary nail fixation between January 2014 and December 2015 were enrolled in the study. Among them, 135 patients who met the selection criteria were included in the study, and the clinical data were collected, including gender, age, time from admission to surgery, comorbidities, and preoperative hemoglobin, albumin, and total lymphocyte count (TLC), and nutritional status. Univariate analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to screen the risk factors for postoperative mortality.ResultsTwenty-seven patients (20.0%) died within 2 years after surgery, and 16 (11.9%) died within 1 year after surgery. Univariate analysis showed that age, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, number of comorbidities, preoperative hemoglobin and albumin levels were the influencing factors of postoperative mortality in elder patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with proximal femoral interlocking intramedullary nail fixation (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that age (≥80 years), combined more than 2 medical diseases, and preoperative albumin (<35 g/L) were the independent risk factors for postoperative mortality (P<0.05).ConclusionTo improve the clinical outcomes, perioperative risk should be comprehensively evaluated and perioperative management strengthened in the elder patients with intertrochanteric fractures, especially those with advanced age, more combined diseases, and low albumin, for the high postoperative mortality.
Objective To evaluate the risk factors of the patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) after resection of thymoma. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 126 thymoma patients without preoperative MG who underwent a thymectomy in our hospital from June 2002 through May 2015. There were 51 males and 75 females at age of 51.71±14.06 years. The risk factors for MG after resection of thymoma were evaluated. Results MG occurred in nine patients after resection of thymoma (7.1%). Incomplete resection (P=0.024), A and AB type of WHO classification (P=0.048), concomitant autoimmune diseases (P=0.024), postoperative pulmonary infection (P=0.036) were the risk factors for the MG after resection of thymoma. Postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy (P=0.011) reduced the risk for the patients with incomplete resection or invasive thymoma. Conclusion Incomplete resection, A and AB type of WHO classification, concomitant autoimmune diseases, postoperative pulmonary infection are considered as the risk factors for MG after resection of thymoma, and postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be performed for the patients with incomplete resection or invasive thymoma.
