Filter by:A randomized control trial to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a patient educational platform (PEP) for patients with gastrointestinal malignancies undergoing active chemotherapy treatment.
Anastomotic leak after radical gastrectomy is a serious complication. Intraoperative leak testing was often used to assess the integrity of the anastomosis. However, the reliability, clinical benefits and safety of intraoperative leak testing are controversial. Our aim is to evaluate the effect and safety of intraoperative leak testing, and to compare the surgical complications of patients in intraoperative leak testing group with patients in non-intraoperative leak testing group.
Retrospective evaluation on a prospective cohort of patients undergoing curative gastric cancer resection to evaluate the impact of a patient blood management (PBM) program on transfusion rate and clinical outcomes. The study aims to compare transfusion practices and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing elective gastric cancer resection before and after implementing a PBM program, which included strategies to detect and treat preoperative anemia and restrictive transfusion practice (2014-2018). Primary outcome is transfusion rate (TR). Secondary outcomes are transfusion index (TI), postoperative complications, length of stay, 30-day readmissions, and 90-day mortality. Adherence to protocol is also analyzed. Differences of variables before and after PBM program implementation are evaluated with mean comparing analysis adjusted by confounding factors.
To compare the Idylla microsatellite instability test versus mismatch repair immunohistochemistry (IHC) in gastric adenocarcinoma.
Prophylactic use of anastomotic drain in upper gastrointestinal surgery has been questioned in the last 15 years but only small studies have been conducted. In 2015 a Cochrane meta analysis on four Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) concluded that there was no convincing evidence to the routine drain placement in gastrectomy. Nevertheless the Authors evidenced the moderate/low methodological quality of the included studies and highlighted how 3 out of four came from Eastern countries. Despite the above mentioned limits, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) society published the guidelines for gastrectomy that strongly recommend, with high evidence level, to avoid routine use of drain in gastric surgery. After 2015 some other retrospective studies have been published, all with inconsistent results. Our objective is to perform a multicentre prospective trial in a large western cohort of patients to establish wether avoid routine use of anastomotic drain does not led to an increasing of postoperative invasive procedure.
This study aims to compare efficacy and safety of bismuth-containing quadruple therapy（with rabeprazole amoxicillin clarithromycin）of different kinds of bismuth（Bismuth potassium citrate, pectin bismuth capsules, pectin bismuth particles）in H. pylori first-line eradication. It is hypothesized that different bismuth containing quadruple therapies have comparable eradication efficacy and safety. Patients with confirmed H. pylori positive status will be randomized to one of the treatments described above. At week 2and 6 follow-up visits, a urea breath test(UBT) will be performed to confirm eradication.
This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of VE800 in combination with nivolumab in patients with selected types of advanced or metastatic cancer
The primary purpose is to compare the remifentanil requirements in deep vs moderate neuromuscular blocks during the surgical pleth index -guided anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness, of three hospitalized patient care strategies in relation to disease-related malnutrition (DRM) hospital admissions based on results such as length of stay of the index admission, and from admission until one year after admission, mortality rate, appearance of complications, changes in weight and nutritional state, changes in their health related quality of life and functional status, readmissions, use of health services resources (primary care, hospital and emergency consultations) and costs. Methodology: Intervention study involving three hospitals with three branches in which, after nutritional screening in all centers, the first branch / hospital includes a intervention strategy for nutritional improvement in patients who after screening are identified as having DRE or at risk of DRE, and follow-up of other patients; a second cohort / hospital will include similar patients in which if there is any nutritional intervention it will be carried out by demand of the medical staff in charge of the patient; and a third branch /hospital in which the usual practice of the center will be followed without any explicit intervention. Subjects of the study: At least 300 patients in each center admitted to the digestive services, due to digestive pathologies, and surgery services due to tumor and digestive system pathologies. In all patients, sociodemographic and clinical data will be collected and of the outcomes described above during admission and until the year of follow-up. Statistical analysis: through appropriate multiple regression models for each outcome variable and with adjustments through propensity scores to compare the three centers based on each outcome parameter. A cost-effectiveness analysis will be carried out through of the incremental cost for each year of quality-adjusted life (QALY) .
The purpose of the study is to test 18F-BMS-986229 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging a practical and safe way to check the status of esophageal, stomach, and gastroesophageal junction cancer.
