背景:经肛门内窥镜显微手术是广泛的直肠病变的治疗选择。术后尿潴留是常见的并发症。一些研究表明,使用α -1受体阻滞剂可以降低疝和结直肠手术后尿潴留的风险,但缺乏证据。目的:本试验旨在评估预防性使用α -1受体阻滞剂是否能降低经肛门内镜显微手术后尿潴留的发生率。设计:双盲、安慰剂对照试验。设置:单个高容量的加拿大结直肠癌中心。患者:包括等待经肛门内窥镜显微手术且未使用α -1受体阻滞剂的成年男性患者。干预:从术前5天到术后2天,患者被分配到坦索罗辛或安慰剂组。主要观察指标:主要观察指标为术后尿潴留发生率。次要结局为尿潴留相关住院、拔除膀胱导管时间、国际前列腺症状评分、治疗前后以及不良事件。结果:158例患者在2017年10月至2022年7月期间被随机分组。两组术后尿潴留无显著差异(23% vs 14%;P = 0.16)。两组患者拔除膀胱导管的时间差异无统计学意义(4.8天vs 8.6天,p = 0.26)。无当日出院失败,无尿潴留相关再入院。国际前列腺症状评分在手术时无显著差异(3.8 vs 5.4;P = 0.11),报告的不良事件组间无差异。局限性:我们不能排除潜在的II型错误。结论:经肛门内镜显微手术患者预防性使用α -1阻滞剂与术后尿潴留的减少无关。参见视频摘要。试验注册:ClinicalTrials.gov标识符:NCT03314025。

背景:结直肠癌术后静脉血栓栓塞是一种常见且高发病率的疾病。癌症手术后延长药物静脉血栓栓塞预防可降低静脉血栓栓塞的风险,并被主要专业协会推荐。在当代的地方和区域研究中,依从性较低。目的:在全国数据集中评估与结直肠癌手术后接受预防相关的患者和医院因素。设计:回顾性队列研究。设置:监测、流行病学和最终结果医疗保险数据集。患者:2016年至2017年期间接受结直肠癌切除术的64岁以上患者。主要结局指标:主要结局指标为出院后7天内接受预防治疗。使用多变量logistic回归确定与接受预防相关的患者和医院因素。次要结局包括30天和90天静脉血栓栓塞。结果:23,527例患者中,4.7%接受了预防。利用率从2016年到2017年有所增加(3.9%对5.5%;P < 0.001)。在国家癌症研究所指定医院接受治疗的患者接受预防治疗的频率高于教学、非国家癌症研究所医院和非教学、非国家癌症研究所医院(10.2%对5.6%对1.7%;P < 0.001)。按床位大小四分位数划分,在大医院接受治疗的患者比在小医院接受治疗的患者更有可能接受预防(9.0% vs. 4.0% vs. 3.4% vs. 2.2%;P < 0.01)。在多变量回归中,国家癌症研究所的地位、更大的床位、白人种族(与其他种族相比)、直肠肿瘤位置和最近治疗年份与预防使用独立相关。30天和90天静脉血栓栓塞事件分别为1.87%和2.63%。预防与减少30天静脉血栓栓塞相关(1.26% vs 1.9%;P = 0.1211)。局限性:回顾性、大型数据库研究。结论:即使在大型专科医院,结直肠癌手术后预防措施的应用仍然有限。需要进一步的工作来理解这种偏离指南的一致性护理。参见视频摘要。

Utilization increased from 2016 to 2017 (3.9% vs 5.5%; p < 0.001). Patients treated at National Cancer Institute-designated hospitals received prophylaxis more frequently than teaching, non-National Cancer Institute hospitals and nonteaching, non-National Cancer Institute hospitals (10.2% vs 5.6% vs 1.7%; p < 0.001). Patients receiving care at larger hospitals by bed size quartile were more likely to receive prophylaxis compared to those at smaller hospitals (9.0% vs 4.0% vs 3.4% vs 2.2%; p < 0.01). On multivariable regression, National Cancer Institute status, larger bed size, White race (compared to others), rectal tumor location, and more recent year of treatment were independently associated with prophylaxis utilization. Venous thromboembolism events at 30 and 90 days were 1.87% and 2.63%, respectively. Prophylaxis was associated with decreased 30-day venous thromboembolism (1.26% vs 1.9%; p = 0.1211).</p><p><strong>Limitations: </strong>Retrospective, large database study.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Utilization of prophylaxis after colorectal cancer surgery remains limited even in large, specialized hospitals.
