  • Late gastrointestinal disorders after rectal cancer surgery with and without preoperative radiation therapy
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: British Journal of Surgery. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0007-1323 .- 1365-2168. ; 95:2, s. 206-13
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to analyse late gastrointestinal disorders necessitating hospital admission following rectal cancer surgery and to determine their relationship to preoperative radiation therapy. METHODS: Curatively treated patients participating in the Swedish Rectal Cancer Trial during 1987-1990, randomized to preoperative irradiation (454 patients) or surgery alone (454), were matched against the Swedish Hospital Discharge Registry. Hospital records for patients admitted with gastrointestinal diagnoses were reviewed. RESULTS: Irradiated patients had an increased relative risk (RR) of late small bowel obstruction (RR 2.49 (95 per cent confidence interval (c.i.) 1.48 to 4.19)) and abdominal pain (RR 2.09 (95 per cent c.i. 1.03 to 4.24)) compared with patients treated by surgery alone. The risk of late small bowel obstruction requiring surgery was greatly increased (RR 7.42 (95 per cent c.i. 2.23 to 24.66)). Irradiated patients with postoperative anastomotic leakage were at increased risk for late small bowel obstruction (RR 2.99 (95 per cent c.i. 1.07 to 8.31)). The risk of small bowel obstruction was also related to the radiation technique and energy used. CONCLUSION: Small bowel obstruction is more common in patients with rectal cancer treated with preoperative radiation therapy.

  • The time profile of groin hernia recurrences
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Hernia. - : Springer. - 1265-4906 .- 1248-9204. ; 14:4, s. 341-344

    • PURPOSE: If the pathogeneses of the development of a recurrence varies following the different methods of hernia repair, the time required to develop a recurrence could be expected to vary. The aim of the study was to identify risk factors affecting the time interval between the primary repair and the reoperation.METHODS: Data from the Swedish Hernia Register were used. Each year of the 5-year follow-up period was treated as a separate subgroup and merged together into one large group. For each risk factor, we performed a Cox proportional hazard analysis, testing for interactions between the year and the risk factor, with reoperation as the endpoint.RESULTS: Altogether, 142,578 repairs were recorded, of which 7.7% were performed on women. The mean age of the cohort was 59 years. The overall recurrence rate in the 5-year period was 4.3%. Multivariate analysis showed that recurrence following surgery for recurrent hernia occurred relatively early (P < 0.05).Recurrence also appeared early if postoperative complications were registered (P < 0.05). Recurrence after suture repair or laparoscopic repair appeared relatively early compared to recurrence following open mesh repair (P < 0.05). In a separate analysis, a relatively higher risk for early recurrence was seen for all sutured repairs compared to all mesh repairs (P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONS: The pathogenesis behind the development of recurrence probably differs depending on the technique applied during the hernia repair. The higher proportion of early recurrences following laparoscopic repair, suture repair and recurrent repair may be explained by the high proportion of technical failures.

  • The DQB1*03:02 HLA haplotype is associated with increased risk of chronic pain after inguinal hernia surgery and lumbar disc herniation
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Pain. - : Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health). - 0304-3959 .- 1872-6623. ; 154:3, s. 427-433

    • Neuropathic pain conditions are common after nerve injuries and are suggested to be regulated in part by genetic factors. We have previously demonstrated a strong genetic influence of the rat major histocompatibility complex on development of neuropathic pain behavior after peripheral nerve injury. In order to study if the corresponding human leukocyte antigen complex (HLA) also influences susceptibility to pain, we performed an association study in patients that had undergone surgery for inguinal hernia (n = 189). One group had developed a chronic pain state following the surgical procedure, while the control group had undergone the same type of operation, without any persistent pain. HLA DRB1genotyping revealed a significantly increased proportion of patients in the pain group carrying DRB1*04 compared to patients in the pain-free group. Additional typing of the DQB1 gene further strengthened the association; carriers of the DQB1*03:02 allele together with DRB1*04 displayed an increased risk of postsurgery pain with an odds risk of 3.16 (1.61-6.22) compared to noncarriers. This finding was subsequently replicated in the clinical material of patients with lumbar disc herniation (n = 258), where carriers of the DQB1*03:02 allele displayed a slower recovery and increased pain. In conclusion, we here for the first time demonstrate that there is an HLA-dependent risk of developing pain after surgery or lumbar disc herniation; mediated by the DRB1*04 - DQB1*03:02 haplotype. Further experimental and clinical studies are needed to fine-map the HLA effect and to address underlying mechanisms.

  • Persistent pain after groin hernia surgery : a qualitative analysis of pain and its consequences for quality of life
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica. - : Wiley. - 0001-5172 .- 1399-6576. ; 53:2, s. 236-246

    • Despite a high prevalence of persistent groin pain after hernia repair, the specific nature of the pain and its clinical manifestation are poorly known. The aim of this study was to determine the type of post-herniorrhaphy pain and its influence on daily life. In order to assess long-term pain qualitatively and to explore how it affects quality of life, 100 individuals with persisting pain, identified in a cohort study of patients operated for groin hernia, were neurologically examined, along with 100 pain-free controls matched for age, gender and type of operation. The patients were asked to answer the SF-36 questionnaire, the hospital anxiety and depression scale, the Swedish Scales of Personality (SSP) and a standardised questionnaire for assessing everyday life coping. The patients were approached approximately 4.9 years after surgery. Twenty-two patients from the pain group had become pain free by the time of examination, whereas 76 patients still had pain, of whom 47 (68%) suffered from neuropathic pain and 11 from nociceptive pain. The remaining patients suffered from mixed pain, neuropathic and nociceptive, or were found to have another reason for pain. All dimensions of SF-36 were poorer for the pain group than the control group. Persistent post-herniorrhaphy pain is mainly neuropathic and has a substantial impact on health-related quality of life.

  • Risk factors for anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery : a case-control study
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: Colorectal Disease. - : Wiley. - 1462-8910 .- 1463-1318. ; 10:7, s. 715-21
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: With introduction of the total mesorectal excision technique and preoperative radiotherapy in rectal cancer surgery, the local recurrence rate has decreased and the overall survival has improved. One drawback, however, is the high anastomotic leakage rate of approximately 10-18%. Male gender and low anastomoses are known risk factors for such leakage. The aim of this study was to identify potentially modifiable risk factors. METHOD: In a case-control study, data from the Swedish Rectal Cancer Registry (1995-2000) were analysed. Cases were all patients with anastomotic leakage after an anterior resection (n = 134). Two controls were randomly selected for each case. The medical records (n = 402) were checked against a study protocol. Due to incorrect recording two cases and 28 controls were excluded from further analyses. RESULTS: In the multivariate analysis significant risk factors were American Society of Anesthesiologists score > 2 [OR = 1.40 (95% CI 1.05-1.83)], preoperative radiotherapy [OR = 1.34 (95% CI 1.06-1.69)], intraoperative adverse events [OR = 1.85 (95% CI 1.32-2.58)], level of anastomosis

  • Improved survival in cancer of the colon and rectum in Sweden.
  • 2005
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Surgical Oncology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0748-7983 .- 1532-2157. ; 31:8, s. 845-53

    • AIMS: To analyse time-trends in survival of patients with colon and rectal cancer in Sweden.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data including all patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the colon and rectum between 1960 and 1999, from the Swedish Cancer Registry, were analysed. The observed and relative survival rates were calculated according to the Hakulinen cohort method.RESULTS: Five-year relative survival rate for cancer of the colon improved significantly from 39.6% in 1960--1964 to 57.2% in 1995--1999 and for rectal cancer from 36.1 to 57.6%, respectively. Corresponding observed survival improved from 31.2 to 44.3% for colon cancer and from 28.4 to 45.4% for rectal cancer. The largest improvement of survival were seen during the later part of the period observed.CONCLUSION: The survival of patients with colon and rectal cancer in Sweden continues to improve, especially in rectal cancer, which now has a 5-year observed and relative survival rate comparable to that for colon cancer. The survival improvement in rectal cancer is probably a result of the implementation of total mesorectal excision and pre-operative radiotherapy.

  • Surgeon and hospital-related risk factors in colorectal cancer surgery
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Colorectal Disease. - : Wiley-Blackwell. - 1462-8910 .- 1463-1318. ; 13:12, s. 1370-1376
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • AIM: The aim of this study was to identify surgeon and hospital-related factors in a well-defined population-based cohort; the results of this study could possibly be used to improve outcome in colorectal cancer.METHOD: Data from the colonic (1997-2006) and rectal (1995-2006) cancer registers of the Uppsala/Örebro Regional Oncology Centre were used to assess 1697 patients with rectal and 2692 with colonic cancer. Putative risk factors and their impact on long-term survival were evaluated using the Cox proportional hazard model.RESULTS: The degree of specialization of the operating surgeon had no significant effect on long-term survival. When comparing the surgeons with the highest degree of specialization, noncolorectal surgeons demonstrated a slightly lower long-term survival for rectal cancer stage I and II (HR, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.05-3.92). Surgeons with a high case-load were not associated with better survival in any analysis model. Regional hospitals had a lower survival rate for rectal cancer stage III surgery (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.08-2.00).CONCLUSION: Degree of specialization, surgeon case-load and hospital category could not be identified as important factors when determining outcome in colorectal cancer surgery in this study.

  • Elective surgery for colorectal cancer in a defined Swedish population.
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Surgical Oncology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0748-7983 .- 1532-2157. ; 30:1, s. 26-33
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • AIMS: The aim of this study was to describe variability in compliance to clinical guidelines in colorectal cancer surgery related to hospital structure.METHODS: All patients registered in the databases of the Regional Oncologic Centre, operated upon electively for colon cancer between the start of the register in 1997 until 2000 (n=1771) and for rectal cancer between the start of the register in 1995 until 2000 (n=1841) were selected for analysis.RESULTS: There was no difference in 5-year survival rate between colon and rectal cancer (mean follow-up 2.6 and 3.0 years, respectively; p=0.22). There was a significant difference in frequency of preoperative liver scan depending on hospital category with an increase in colon cancer from 39 to 46% (p=0.02) and in rectal cancer from 42 to 64% (p<0.001). For colon cancer there was no difference, according to hospital category, in quotient sigmoid and high anterior resection to left-sided resection. Furthermore, high anterior resection was more common at university and general district hospitals (8%) compared with district hospitals (4%) (p=0.01). Sphincter-saving surgery was more common at university hospitals and district general hospitals than at district hospitals (low anterior/abdomino-perineal resection quotients 2.3, 2.4 and 1.6, respectively; p<0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Population-based audit forms an appropriate and valuable basis for quality assurance projects. In addition to describing compliance to guidelines and pointing to process steps that can be improved, such investigations may also indicate changes due to scientific development. Linked to case-costing data, such results may form an important basis for decisions about modifications in health care.

  • Patients with rectal cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy have an increased survival : a population-based longitudinal study
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Annals of Oncology. - : Oxford University Press. - 0923-7534 .- 1569-8041. ; 24:1, s. 160-165
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not the use of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage III rectal cancer varies between regions and over time, and if this has had an effect on survival rates.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients from the Uppsala/Örebro region below 75 years-of-age, operated 1995-2002 and registered in the Swedish Rectal Cancer Register, were monitored between 1995 and September 2008. A multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model was used for analysis. Overall survival was described using the Kaplan-Meier method.RESULTS: Four hundred and thirty-six patients with stage III rectal cancer were included. Adjuvant chemotherapy was given to 42% of the patients (proportions varying from 13% to 77% among counties), and there were substantial increases over time. The 5-year overall survival was 65.8% [95% confidence interval (CI) 50-84] for patients having adjuvant chemotherapy compared with 45.6% (95% CI 39-52) for patients not treated with chemotherapy. The multivariate hazard ratio for death was 0.65 (95% CI 0.5-0.8) for patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy.CONCLUSIONS: The use of adjuvant chemotherapy for rectal cancer has increased, but varies considerably between hospitals/counties. In this cohort, those having adjuvant chemotherapy had a longer overall survival.
