    The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the CD14 rs2569190 polymorphism and death related to septic shock in white European patients who underwent major cardiac or abdominal surgery. We carried out a retrospective study in 205 septic shock patients. The septic shock diagnosis was established by international consensus definitions. The outcome variable was the death within 28, 60 and 90 days after septic shock diagnosis. The CD14 rs2569190 polymorphism was analyzed by Agena Bioscience's MassARRAY platform. For the genetic association analysis with survival was selected a recessive inheritance model (GG vs. AA/AG). One hundred thirteen out of 205 patients (55.1%) died with a survival median of 39 days (95%CI = 30.6; 47.4). Patients with rs2569190 GG genotype had shorter survival probability than rs2569190 AA/AG genotype at 60 days (62.3% vs 50%; p = 0.035), and 90 days (62.3% vs 52.6%; p = 0.046). The rs2569190 GG genotype was associated with increased risk of septic shock-related death in the first 60 days (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.67; p = 0.016) and 90 days (aHR = 1.64; p = 0.020) compared to rs2569190 AA/AG genotype. In conclusion, the presence of CD14 rs2569190 GG genotype was associated with death in shock septic patients who underwent major surgery. Further studies with bigger sample size are required to verify this relationship.The authors thank the Spanish National Genotyping Center (CEGEN-PRB2-ISCIII) for providing SNP genotyping services (http://www.cegen.org).

    Anesthesia outside the Operating Room in a Patient with Mitochondrial Disease

    No full text
    Mitochondrial dysfunction comprehends a wide range of genetic disorders. These patients’ precarious metabolic balance makes its management difficult. Furthermore, the same systems affected by mitochondrial disease can be altered by many of the frequently used anesthetic agents. Each patient has to be evaluated individually according to their comorbidities and anesthetic requirements

    Background: In many immune-related diseases, inflammatory responses and several clinical outcomes are related to increased NF-&#954;B activity. We aimed to evaluate whether SNPs related to the NF-&#954;B signaling pathway are associated with higher susceptibility to infection, septic shock, and septic-shock-related death in European patients who underwent major surgery. Methods: We performed a case-control study on 184 patients with septic shock and 212 with systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and a longitudinal substudy on septic shock patients. Thirty-three SNPs within genes belonging to or regulating the NF-&#954;B signaling pathway were genotyped by Agena Bioscience&#8217;s MassARRAY platform. Results: No significant results were found for susceptibility to infection and septic shock in the multivariate analysis after adjusting for multiple comparisons. Regarding septic-shock-related death, patients with TNFAIP3 rs6920220 AA, TNIP1 rs73272842 AA, TNIP1 rs3792783 GG, and TNIP1 rs7708392 CC genotypes had the highest risk of septic-shock-related death in the first 28 and 90 days. Also, the MyD88 rs7744 GG genotype was associated with a higher risk of death during the first 90 days. Haplotype analysis shows us that patients with the TNIP1 GAG haplotype (composed of rs73272842, rs3792783, and rs7708392) had a lower risk of death in the first 28 days and the TNIP1 AGC haplotype was associated with a higher risk of death in the first 90 days. Conclusions: The SNPs in the genes TNFAIP3, TNIP1, and MyD88 were linked to the risk of septic-shock-related death in patients who underwent major surgery

    Evaluation of a quality improvement intervention to reduce anastomotic leak following right colectomy (EAGLE): pragmatic, batched stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized trial in 64 countries

    Background Anastomotic leak affects 8 per cent of patients after right colectomy with a 10-fold increased risk of postoperative death. The EAGLE study aimed to develop and test whether an international, standardized quality improvement intervention could reduce anastomotic leaks. Methods The internationally intended protocol, iteratively co-developed by a multistage Delphi process, comprised an online educational module introducing risk stratification, an intraoperative checklist, and harmonized surgical techniques. Clusters (hospital teams) were randomized to one of three arms with varied sequences of intervention/data collection by a derived stepped-wedge batch design (at least 18 hospital teams per batch). Patients were blinded to the study allocation. Low- and middle-income country enrolment was encouraged. The primary outcome (assessed by intention to treat) was anastomotic leak rate, and subgroup analyses by module completion (at least 80 per cent of surgeons, high engagement; less than 50 per cent, low engagement) were preplanned. Results A total 355 hospital teams registered, with 332 from 64 countries (39.2 per cent low and middle income) included in the final analysis. The online modules were completed by half of the surgeons (2143 of 4411). The primary analysis included 3039 of the 3268 patients recruited (206 patients had no anastomosis and 23 were lost to follow-up), with anastomotic leaks arising before and after the intervention in 10.1 and 9.6 per cent respectively (adjusted OR 0.87, 95 per cent c.i. 0.59 to 1.30; P = 0.498). The proportion of surgeons completing the educational modules was an influence: the leak rate decreased from 12.2 per cent (61 of 500) before intervention to 5.1 per cent (24 of 473) after intervention in high-engagement centres (adjusted OR 0.36, 0.20 to 0.64; P &lt; 0.001), but this was not observed in low-engagement hospitals (8.3 per cent (59 of 714) and 13.8 per cent (61 of 443) respectively; adjusted OR 2.09, 1.31 to 3.31). Conclusion Completion of globally available digital training by engaged teams can alter anastomotic leak rates. Registration number: NCT04270721 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov)
