Abstract
Background/Objectives: The textbook outcome (TO) is a composite tool introduced to uniform surgical units and regulate surgical quality and outcomes. A patient is considered TO only if all predetermined items are met. In colorectal surgery, TO represents a new tool that can achieve important results given the prevalence of colorectal cancers. However, at present, there is a lack of uniformity in the TO's definition. This study utilized the Delphi process to define an Italian version of the TO in colorectal cancer. Methods: The survey consisted of two rounds of online questionnaires submitted to an expert panel in colorectal oncological surgery, renowned academic surgeons, who had attended multiple scientific conferences and who were authors of papers on this specific topic. Five main topics with 26 questions were investigated through an online modified Delphi method. Items with almost 75% agreement achieved consensus. Results: Twenty-eight Italian experts were selected and participated in the two rounds. The Italian version of the textbook outcome in colorectal surgery was defined as the presence of 90-day postoperative survival, negative margins and at least 12 lymph nodes, a minimally invasive approach, ostomy fashioning if preoperatively planned, postoperative complication < Clavien-Dindo 3b, at least 10 ERAS items, no readmission, proper CHT and RT regimens, complete colonoscopy after or before surgery and Tumor Board Evaluation. Conclusions: The textbook outcome in colorectal cancer patients is a quality instrument providing a complete overview of the care of such patients, from diagnosis to treatment. We hereby propose an Italian version of the TO with outcomes chosen by an expert panel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook outcome (TO) is a composite measure used in surgery to evaluate post operative outcomes. No review has synthesised the evidence in relation to TO regarding the elements surgeons are utilising to inform their TO composite measure and the rates of TO achieved. METHODS Our systematic review and meta analysis was conducted in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations. PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane central registry of controlled trials were searched up to 8th November 2023. Pooled proportions of TO, clinical factors considered and risk factors in relation to TO are reported. RESULTS Fifteen studies with 301,502 patients were included in our systematic review while fourteen studies comprising of 247,843 patients were included in our meta-analysis. Pooled rates of TO achieved were 55% with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of 54-55%. When stratified by elective versus mixed case load, rates were 56% (95% CI 49-62) and 54% (95% CI 50-58), respectively. Studies reported differing definitions of TO. Reported predictors of achieving TO include age, left sided surgery and elective nature. CONCLUSIONS TO is achieved, on average in 55% of reported cases and it may predict short and long term post operative patient outcomes. This study did not detect a difference in rates between elective versus mixed case load TO proportions. There is no standardised definition in use of TO. Standardisation of the composite is likely required to enable meaning comparison using TO in the future and a Delphi consensus is warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Textbook oncologic outcome (TOO) is attained when all desired short-term quality metrics are met following an oncologic operation. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of race on TOO attainment following colectomy for colon cancer. METHODS The 2004-2017 National Cancer Database was queried for patients with non-metastatic colon cancer who underwent colectomy. TOO was defined as: negative margins (R0), adequate lymphadenectomy (LAD) (n ≥ 12), no prolonged length of stay (LOS), no 30-day readmission or mortality, and initiation of systemic therapy in ≤ 12 weeks. Racial groups were defined as White, Black, or Hispanic. RESULTS 508,312 patients were identified of which 34% achieved TOO. Blacks attained the least TOO (31.4%) as well as the TOO criteria of adequate LAD (81.1%), no prolonged LOS (52.3%), and no 30-day readmission (89.7%). Hispanics were least likely to have met the criteria of R0 resection (94.3%), no 30-day mortality (87.3%), and initiation of systemic therapy in ≤ 12 weeks (81.8%). Patients who attained TOO had a higher median overall survival (OS) than those without TOO (148.2 vs. 84.2 months; P < 0.001). Hispanic TOO patients had the highest median OS (181.2 months), while White non-TOO patients experienced the lowest (80.2 months, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression models suggest that Black and Hispanic patients are less likely to achieve TOO than their White counterparts. CONCLUSIONS Racial disparities exist in the achievement of TOO, with Blacks and Hispanics being less likely to attain TOO compared to their White counterparts.

Abstract
Textbook outcome is a multidimensional quality management tool that uses a set of traditional surgical measures to reflect an "ideal" surgical result for a particular pathology. Retrospective study of all patients undergoing scheduled for adrenal tumors surgery at an endocrine surgery unit from January 2010-December 2022. The definition of Textbook Outcome were: R0 resection, no Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIa complications, no prolonged stay (< P75), no readmissions, and no mortality in the first 30 days. The main objective was to analyze the rate of Textbook Outcome obtained. One hundred and five patients were included in the study. Textbook Outcome was achieved in 71.4%. Surgical approach (p < 0.001), Charlson scale (p = 0.031), American Society of Anesthesiologists Classification (p = 0.047) and surgical time (p < 0.001) were all significantly associated with the achievement of Textbook Outcome. The laparoscopic approach was associated as an independent factor with obtaining Textbook Outcome (OR:5.394; p = 0.016), as was surgical time (OR:0.986; p = 0.004). Textbook Outcome is a novel, useful, easy-to-interpret tool for measuring results in adrenal surgery. The laparoscopic approach is associated with a higher rate of "ideal" surgical results. The study was registered in the public accessible database clinicaltrials.gov with the ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05888753.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook oncologic outcome (TOO) is a composite outcome measure realized when all desired short-term quality metrics are met following an oncologic operation. This study examined whether minimally invasive gastrectomy (MIG) is associated with increased likelihood of TOO attainment. METHODS The 2010-2016 National Cancer Database was queried for patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy. Surgical approach was described as open (OG), laparoscopic (LG), or robotic (RG). TOO was defined as having met five metrics: R0 resection, AJCC compliant lymph node evaluation (n ≥ 15), no prolonged length of stay (< 75th percentile by year), no 30-day readmission, and receipt of guideline-accordant systemic therapy. RESULTS Of 21,015 patients identified, 5708 (27.2%) underwent MIG (LG = 21.9%, RG = 5.3%). Patients who underwent RG were more likely to have met all TOO criteria, and consequently TOO. Logistic regression models revealed that patients undergoing MIG were significantly more likely to attain TOO. MIG was associated with a higher likelihood of adequate LAD, no prolonged LOS, and concordant chemotherapy. Patients who underwent LG and achieved TOO had the highest median OS (86.7 months), while the OG non-TOO cohort experienced the lowest (34.6 months). The median OS for the RG TOO group was not estimable; however, the mortality rate (.7%) was the lowest of the six cohorts. CONCLUSION RG resulted in a significantly increased likelihood of TOO attainment. Although TOO is associated with increased OS across all surgical approaches, attainment of TOO following MIG is associated with a statistically significantly higher median OS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the impact of textbook outcome (TO) on long-term survival in oral cancer surgery. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In total, 386 patients with tumor resection, neck dissection (ND), and reconstruction between 2011 and 2020 were included. TO was defined as negative margin; adequate ND; no 3-day emergency room revisit; no 30-day readmission; and length of stay ≤22 days. Multivariate Cox regression was used to evaluate the impact of TO and 5-year overall survival (OS). RESULTS The TO rate was 35%. Younger age, subsite in buccal area, Charlson Comorbidity Index Score of 0, higher body mass index, higher hemoglobin, higher albumin, and unilateral ND were associated with TO. 5-year OS was 70.5% in overall TO patients and 49.0% in non-TO patients (HR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.31-0.70; p < 0.001). Non-TO was associated with an increased mortality rate (aHR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.14-2.63) after adjusting other factors and the result remained robust with inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis. The impact of TO on OS was more significant in age <60, advanced stage, and diagnosis year before 2018. CONCLUSION Not achieving TO in oral cancer surgery was associated with worse long-term outcome. TO could be used as a proxy for surgical quality improvement.

Achieving Textbook Outcomes in Colorectal Cancer Surgery Is Associated with Improved Long-Term Survival: Results of the Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2024; 13:1304. [PMID: 38592180 PMCID: PMC10931839 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13051304] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer greatly depend on the quality of their surgical care. However, relying solely on a single quality indicator does not adequately capture the multifaceted nature of modern perioperative care. A new tool-"Textbook Outcome" (TO)-has been suggested to provide a comprehensive evaluation of surgical quality. This study aims to examine how TO affects the long-term outcomes of colorectal cancer patients who are scheduled for surgery. Methods: The data of all patients undergoing elective colorectal cancer resection with primary anastomosis at two major cancer treatment centers in Lithuania-Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos and National Cancer Institute-between 2014 and 2018 were entered into the prospectively maintained database. The study defined TO as a composite quality indicator that incorporated seven parameters: R0 resection, retrieval of ≥12 lymph nodes, absence of postoperative complications during the intrahospital period, hospital stay duration of fewer than 14 days, no readmission within 90 days after surgery, no reinterventions within 30 days after surgery, and no 30-day mortality. Long-term outcomes between patients who achieved TO and those who did not were compared. Factors associated with failure to achieve TO were identified. Results: Of the 1524 patients included in the study, TO was achieved by 795 (52.2%). Patients with a higher ASA score (III-IV) were identified to have higher odds of failure to achieve TO (OR 1.497, 95% CI 1.203-1.863), while those who underwent minimally invasive surgery had lower odds for similar failure (OR 0.570, 95% CI 0.460-0.706). TO resulted in improved 5-year overall-(80.2% vs. 65.5%, p = 0.001) and disease-free survival (76.6% vs. 62.6%; p = 0.001) rates. Conclusions: Elective colorectal resections result in successful TO for 52.5% of patients. The likelihood of failure to achieve TO is increased in patients with a high ASA score, while minimally invasive surgery is associated with higher TO rates. Patients who fail to achieve successful surgical outcomes experience reduced long-term outcomes.

[PMID: 37644538 PMCID: PMC10466759 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-023-03138-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic colorectal surgery is becoming the preferred surgical approach for colorectal cancer (CRC). It offers several technical advantages over conventional laparoscopy that could improve patient outcomes. In this retrospective cohort study, we compared robotic and laparoscopic surgery for CRC using a national cohort of patients. METHODS Using the colectomy-targeted ACS-NSQIP database (2015-2020), colorectal procedures for malignant etiologies were identified by CPT codes for right colectomy (RC), left colectomy (LC), and low anterior resection (LAR). Optimal pair matching was performed. "Textbook outcome" was defined as the absence of 30-day complications, readmission, or mortality and a length of stay < 5 days. RESULTS We included 53,209 out of 139,759 patients screened for eligibility. Laparoscopic-to-robotic matching of 2:1 was performed for RC and LC, and 1:1 for LAR. The largest standardized mean difference was 0.048 after matching. Robotic surgery was associated with an increased rate of textbook outcomes compared to laparoscopy in RC and LC, but not in LAR (71% vs. 64% in RC, 75% vs. 68% in LC; p < 0.001). Robotic LAR was associated with increased major morbidity (7.1% vs. 5.8%; p = 0.012). For all three procedures, the mean conversion rate of robotic surgery was lower than laparoscopy (4.3% vs. 9.2%; p < 0.001), while the mean operative time was higher for robotic (225 min vs. 177 min; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Robotic surgery for CRC offers an advantage over conventional laparoscopy by improving textbook outcomes in RC and LC. This advantage was not found in robotic LAR, which also showed an increased risk of serious complications. The associations highlighted in our study should be considered in the discussion of the surgical management of patients with colorectal cancer.

Azevedo JM, Panteleimonitis S, Mišković D, Herrando I, Al-Dhaheri M, Ahmad M, Qureshi T, Fernandez LM, Harper M, Parvaiz A. Textbook Oncological Outcomes for Robotic Colorectal Cancer Resections: An Observational Study of Five Robotic Colorectal Units. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3760. [PMID: 37568576 PMCID: PMC10417291 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15153760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The quality of care of patients receiving colorectal resections has conventionally relied on individual metrics. When discussing with patients what these outcomes mean, they often find them confusing or overwhelming. Textbook oncological outcome (TOO) is a composite measure that summarises all the 'desirable' or 'ideal' postoperative clinical and oncological outcomes from both a patient's and doctor's point of view. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of TOO in patients receiving robotic colorectal cancer surgery in five robotic colorectal units and understand the risk factors associated with failure to achieve a TOO in these patients. METHODS We present a retrospective, multicentric study with data from a prospectively collected database. All consecutive patients receiving robotic colorectal cancer resections from five centres between 2013 and 2022 were included. Patient characteristics and short-term clinical and oncological data were collected. A TOO was achieved when all components were realized-no conversion to open, no complication with a Clavien-Dindo (CD) ≥ 3, length of hospital stay ≤ 14, no 30-day readmission, no 30-day mortality, and R0 resection. The main outcome measure was a composite measure of "ideal" practice called textbook oncological outcomes. RESULTS A total of 501 patients submitted to robotic colorectal cancer resection were included. Of the 501 patients included, 388 (77.4%) achieved a TOO. Four patients were converted to open (0.8%); 55 (11%) had LOS > 14 days; 46 (9.2%) had a CD ≥ 3 complication; 30-day readmission rate was 6% (30); 30-day mortality was 0.2% (1); and 480 (95.8%) had an R0 resection. Abdominoperineal resection was a risk factor for not achieving a TOO. CONCLUSIONS Robotic colorectal cancer surgery in robotic centres achieves a high TOO rate. Abdominoperineal resection is a risk factor for failure to achieve a TOO. This measure may be used in future audits and to inform patients clearly on success of treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Textbook outcome (TO) has been used to define achievement of multiple "ideal" or "optimal" surgical and postoperative quality measures from the patient's perspective. However, TO has not been reported for their impact on survival in elderly, including CRC surgery. This study determined whether TO is associated with long-term outcomes after curative colorectomy in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS Patient who underwent curative surgery over 75 years old for CRC between March 2005 and December 2016. TO included five separate parameters: surgery within 6 weeks, radical resection, Lymph node (LN) yield ≥ 12, no stoma, and no adverse outcome. When all 5 short-term quality of care parameters were realized, TO was achieved (TO). If any one of the 5 parameters was not met, the treatment was not considered TO (nTO). RESULTS TO was realized in 80 patients (43.0%). Differences in surgical-related characteristics and pathological characteristics according to TO had no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics, except for Lymph node dissection. The Kaplan-Meier curves for OS and RFS association between TO and nTO had significantly poor 5-year OS and 5-year RFS compared with the TO groups (OS, 77.8% vs. 60.8%, P < 0.01; RFS, 69.6% vs. 50.8%, P = 0.01). In the multivariate analysis, nTO was an independent predictive factor for worse OS (HR, 2.04; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.175-3.557; P = 0.01) and RFS (HR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.043-2.842; P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS TO can be a useful predictor for postoperative morbidity and prognosis after curative colorectomy for CRC.

Innov Surg Sci 2023; 8:49-59. [PMID: 38058773 PMCID: PMC10696934 DOI: 10.1515/iss-2023-0026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives To investigate the influence of anastomosis on the early postoperative and long-term oncological outcomes of patients with primary colon carcinoma (CA). Methods All consecutive patients with the histologically diagnosed primary colon CA (design, prospective multicenter observational study) were registered with regard to patient-, diagnostic-, tumor (Tu) finding-, and treatment-related aspects using a computer-based registry with 60 items to characterize early postoperative and long-term oncological outcome. Results Basic data: From 2010 to 2016, data from a total of 14,466 patients were documented (mean age, 72.8 [range, 22-96] years; sex ratio, m:f=7,696:6,770). - 717/14,466 patients (4.96 %) were included in a matched-pair analysis. The majority of these patients underwent elective surgery (n=12,620 patients; 87.2 %) regardless of whether a bowel anastomosis or an ostomy was created. In emergency surgery, a bowel anastomosis was possible in a large proportion (n=1,332 patients [72.1 %]). In contrast, in 514 patients (27.9 %) who underwent emergency surgery, an ostomy was created. Interestingly, ostomy had to be created even less frequently in patients who had undergone planned surgery (n=366 [2.5 %]). - Early postoperative outcome: Cases of postoperative mortality were mainly due to general complications. Especially among the patients treated in an emergency situation without intestinal anastomosis, a high proportion died of their pre-existing condition (17.0 %). Patients who underwent ostomy creation or emergency surgery had a worse risk profile (incl. arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and secondary cardiac or renal diseases) which led to the decision to operate without anastomosis. Furthermore, data show no matter which technique had been used, patients that had undergone surgical intervention without anastomosis were more likely to develop complications. - Long-term oncosurgical outcome: The most important factors influencing long-term survival were age, resection status, and tumor stage (according to TNM and UICC). The more advanced the tumor growth, the lower the long-term survival. Patients categorized with the same tumor stage, age, and risk factors had a better chance of survival, if they underwent elective surgical intervention and with intestinal anastomosis. Interestingly, the multivariable analysis showed that older patients and such with distant metastasis benefit from a discontinuity resection. Conclusions The association of intraoperative and postoperative complications with increased postoperative mortality, as well as preexisting risk factors and perioperative complications is in line with findings of current studies. Furthermore, current studies also agree that older patients and such with reduced general condition benefit from discontinuity resection.

Abstract
Background and aims An increasing number of studies have confirmed that non-textbook outcomes (non-TO) are a risk factor for the long-term outcome of malignant tumors. It is particularly important to identify the predictive factors of non-TO to improve the quality of surgical treatment. We attempted to construct two nomograms for preoperative and postoperative prediction of non-TO after laparoscopic hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Patients who underwent curative-intent hepatectomy for HCC between 2014 and 2021 at two Chinese hospitals were analyzed. Using univariate and multivariate analyses, the independent predictors of non-TO were identified. The prediction accuracy is accurately measured by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve. ROC curves for the preoperative and postoperative models, Child-Pugh grade, BCLC staging, and 8th TNM staging were compared relative to predictive accuracy for non-TO. Results Among 515 patients, 286 patients (55.5%) did not achieve TO in the entire cohort. Seven and eight independent risk factors were included in the preoperative and postoperative predictive models by multivariate logistic regression analysis, respectively. The areas under the ROC curves for the postoperative and preoperative models, Child-Pugh grade, BCLC staging, and 8th TNM staging in predicting non-TO were 0.762, 0.698, 0.579, 0.569, and 0.567, respectively. Conclusion Our proposed preoperative and postoperative nomogram models were able to identify patients at high risk of non-TO following laparoscopic resection of HCC, which may guide clinicians to make individualized surgical decisions, improve postoperative survival, and plan adjuvant therapy against recurrence.

Abstract
Association of insurance type with colorectal surgical complications, textbook outcomes (TO), and cost in a safety-net hospital (SNH). Background SNHs have higher surgical complications and costs compared to low-burden hospitals. How does presentation acuity and insurance type influence colorectal surgical outcomes? Methods Retrospective cohort study using single-site National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2013-2019) with cost data and risk-adjusted by frailty, preoperative serious acute conditions (PASC), case status and open versus laparoscopic to evaluate 30-day reoperations, any complication, Clavien-Dindo IV (CDIV) complications, TO, and hospitalization variable costs. Results Cases (Private 252; Medicare 207; Medicaid/Uninsured 619) with patient mean age 55.2 years (SD = 13.4) and 53.1% male. Adjusting for frailty, open abdomen, and urgent/emergent cases, Medicaid/Uninsured patients had higher odds of presenting with PASC (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.22-3.52, P = 0.009) versus Private. Medicaid/Uninsured (aOR = 1.80, 95% CI = 1.28-2.55, P < 0.001) patients were more likely to undergo urgent/emergent surgeries compared to Private. Medicare patients had increased odds of any and CDIV complications while Medicaid/Uninsured had increased odds of any complication, emergency department or observations stays, and readmissions versus Private. Medicare (aOR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.33-0.88, P = 0.003) and Medicaid/Uninsured (aOR = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.30-0.60, P < 0.001) patients had lower odds of achieving TO versus Private. Variable cost %change increased in Medicaid/Uninsured patients to 13.94% (P = 0.005) versus Private but was similar after adjusting for case status. Urgent/emergent cases (43.23%, P < 0.001) and any complication (78.34%, P < 0.001) increased %change hospitalization costs. Conclusions Decreasing the incidence of urgent/emergent colorectal surgeries, possibly by improving access to care, could have a greater impact on improving clinical outcomes and decreasing costs, especially in Medicaid/Uninsured insurance type patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook oncologic outcome (TOO) is a composite outcome measure realized when all desired short-term quality metrics are met after an oncologic operation. This study examined the incidence and impact of achieving a TOO among patients undergoing resection of gastric adenocarcinoma. METHODS The 2004-2016 National Cancer Database was queried for patients who underwent curative gastrectomy. Textbook oncologic outcome was defined as having met five metrics: R0 resection, American Joint Committee on Cancer-compliant lymph node evaluation (n ≥ 15), no prolonged hospital stay (< 75th percentile by year), no 30-day readmission, and receipt of guideline-accordant systemic therapy. RESULTS Of 34,688 patients identified, 8249 (23.8 %) achieved TOO. The patients for whom TOO was achieved were more likely to have traveled farther (p < 0.001) and received care in an academic (p < 0.001) or very high case-volume facility (p < 0.001). The TOO group had a significanty higher median overall survival (OS) than the non-TOO group (80.5 vs 35.3 months; p < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier curve showed that at 12 months, the survival probability estimate was 92 % for the TOO group versus 77 % for the non-TOO group. At 60 months (long-term survival), survival probability estimates remained higher for the TOO group (57 % vs 38 %). The results of the multivariate Cox regression model found that TOO attainment was significantly associated with a reduced risk of death (hazard ratio, 0.82; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The TOO measure is associated with improved OS and reduced risk of death after gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma. Unfortunately, in this study, TOO was obtained in only 23.8 % of cases.

Abstract
The centralization of complex surgical procedures for cancer in Catalonia may have led to geographical and socioeconomic inequities. In this population-based cohort study, we assessed the impacts of these two factors on 5-year survival and quality of care in patients undergoing surgery for rectal cancer (2011-12) and pancreatic cancer (2012-15) in public centers, adjusting for age, comorbidity, and tumor stage. We used data on the geographical distance between the patients' homes and their reference centers, clinical patient and treatment data, income category, and data from the patients' district hospitals. A composite 'textbook outcome' was created from five subindicators of hospitalization. We included 646 cases of pancreatic cancer (12 centers) and 1416 of rectal cancer (26 centers). Distance had no impact on survival for pancreatic cancer patients and was not related to worse survival in rectal cancer. Compared to patients with medium-high income, the risk of death was higher in low-income patients with pancreatic cancer (hazard ratio (HR) 1.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.15-1.86) and very-low-income patients with rectal cancer (HR 5.14, 95% CI 3.51-7.52). Centralization was not associated with worse health outcomes in geographically dispersed patients, including for survival. However, income level remained a significant determinant of survival.

Textbook outcome, chemotherapy compliance, and prognosis after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer: A large sample analysis. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2022; 48:2141-2148. [PMID: 35780034 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2022.05.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2021] [Revised: 05/03/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to analyze the effect of textbook outcome (TO) on the long-term prognosis and adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) compliance of patients with gastric cancer (GC) in a single institute. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent radical gastrectomy with pathological stage I-III at Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2010 to June 2017 were included. TO was defined as receiving a complete-potentially curative status, ≥15 lymph nodes examined, hospital stay ≤21 days, and freedom from intraoperative and postoperative complications, re-intervention in 30 days, 30-day readmission to the hospital or intensive care unit, and 30-day postoperative mortality. RESULTS Totally 3993 patients were included, of which 3361 (84.2%) patients achieved TO. The overall, disease-specific, and recurrence-free survival of patients achieving TO were significantly better than those of patients without achieving TO (all P < 0.05). The total number of AC cycles was greater and the interval from surgery to first AC was shorter in the TO group compared with the Non-TO group. Age >65 years old, open surgery, pT3-4 stage, and total radical gastrectomy (TG) were identified as related high-risk factors for failure to achieve TO. Laparoscopic surgery facilitated TO achievement in high-risk groups. CONCLUSION TO is a reliable indicator of favorable prognosis of patients with GC and contributes to postoperative chemotherapy compliance. Age ≤65 years old, non-TG, pT1-2 stage, and laparoscopic surgery may promote the achievement of TO.

Eur J Surg Oncol 2021; 47:2821-2829. [PMID: 34120807 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2021.05.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2021] [Revised: 04/09/2021] [Accepted: 05/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Textbook outcome is a composite measure of combined outcome indicators, which has been suggested to be of additional value over single outcome parameters in clinical auditing of surgical treatment. This study aimed to assess textbook outcome after rectal cancer surgery as short-term marker for quality of care. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent elective rectal cancer surgery between 2012 and 2019 and registered in the Dutch ColoRectal Audit were included. Textbook outcome was achieved when the following criteria were met: 30-day and primary hospital admission survival, no reintervention, tumour-free margins, no postoperative complications, a hospital stay of less than 14 days and no readmission. Hospital variation was evaluated in case-mix corrected funnel-plots. A multilevel logistic regression analysis was performed to identify associated factors with textbook outcome. RESULTS The study population consisted of 20,521 patients who underwent primary rectal cancer surgery, of whom 56.3% achieved textbook outcome. Postoperative complications were the main contributor to not achieving textbook outcome. Case-mix corrected funnel plots demonstrated that underperforming hospitals in 2012-2015 were no underperformers in 2016-2019 anymore. Female sex, laparoscopic surgery, and rectal resection without defunctioning stoma creation were positively associated with textbook outcome. CONCLUSION Textbook outcome after rectal cancer resection is mainly driven by postoperative complications. Although textbook outcome showed some discriminating value for identifying underperforming hospitals, it does not fit the plan-do-check-act cycle of clinical auditing. In our opinion, textbook outcome has little added value to the current outcome indicators for rectal cancer surgery.
