Risk of NSAIDs on Anastomotic Leak for Rectal Surgery

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Conflicting reports of the association between early postoperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) administration and anastomotic leak (AL) after rectal surgery have continued. The definition of AL and the exposure of NSAIDs differ from each other among studies, which may result in the different conclusions. The aim of this retrospective study was to clarify the effect of NSAIDs on anastomotic leak from new angels.

Clinical Trial Description

Concerning about the side effects induced by opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have gained its popularity in ERAS protocols. NSAIDs competitively inhibits the activity of cyclooxygenases (COXs), which are involved in migration of epithelial cell and mucosal restitution, angiogenesis and collagen synthesis during healing. Conflicting reports of the association between early postoperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) administration and anastomotic leak (AL) after rectal surgery have continued. Notably, the definition of AL and the exposure of NSAIDs (i.e. NSAIDs administration) differ from each other among the studies, which may result in the different conclusions. In concrete terms, the definition of NSAIDs administration timing varies from the first day to the first week after surgery, while the AL was also defined in multiple ways (timing varies from 14 to 90 days postoperatively, or only leaks with operative intervention included). Most previous studies suggested that early and late AL are different entities with different risk factors. These interesting evidences indicate reconsidering the effect of NSAIDs on AL is needed. Hence, investigators defined the NSAIDs administration as at least once in the early postoperative period--the day of and the day after surgery (NSAID group), to avoid the inclusion of patients started on NSAIDs secondary to a complication. At the same time, investigators also classified AL into early AL (confirmed within 6 days) and late AL (over 6 days). Moreover, concerning the higher rate of AL in rectal surgery than colonic surgery and the trend of minimally invasive surgery, investigators performed the current study, aiming to clarify the association between early postoperative NSAIDs and anastomotic leak in rectal surgery. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
