Less Than 100 Hours Hospital Stay After Pancreatico-duodenectomy, RCT

January 13, 2022 updated by: National Cancer Institute, Egypt

Few decades back pancreatico-duodenectomy (PD) was associated with a very high morbidity and mortality. With recent advancements in surgical and anesthetic techniques and improvement in peri-operative care, PD has evolved into a procedure with acceptable morbidity and mortality. Today PD is associated with a mortality of less than 5%, in high volume tertiary care centers. The multimodal concept of fast-track surgery was first introduced in colonic surgery. Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of this program in colonic resection. Recently, fast-track surgery has been attempted in pancreatic surgery with encouraging results, but such data are sparse. The core aims of ERAS protocols are to safely hasten postoperative recovery and ease the stress response.

Specifically, in the context of pancreatico-duodenectomy, such interventions have been shown to be safe with no increase in mortality or unplanned readmissions, delayed gastric emptying (DGE), or pancreatic fistula . Purported benefits include reduced admission related costs, incidence of DGE, overall morbidity and length of stay.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of implementing fast track rehabilitation protocol following pancreaticoduodenectomy and to see if it is associated with improved recovery, reduced morbidity and reduced length of hospital stay.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Study population: This is a prospective study that will be conducted on all patients of both sexes and definite age groups attending the National Cancer Institute, Cairo University and candidate for pancreatico-duodenectomy Sampling: all cases fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be included in the study.

Patients will be classified into two groups:

  • Group A: Fast track Care pancreatico-duodenectomy.
  • Group B: Conventional Care pancreatico-duodenectomy. Baseline demographics, body mass index (BMI), perioperative parameters, postoperative course, postoperative complications and 30-days operative mortality will be analyzed.

Inclusion criteria:

  • Age ≤ 75 years
  • ASA 1 or 2
  • BMI < 35 The underlying pathology or use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy did not preclude inclusion into the study

Exclusion criteria:

  • pancreatico-duodenectomy with vascular reconstruction.
  • Unenthusiastic patients.

Type of study: randomized controlled trial The assignment of patients to either group will be done by a random computer-assissted allocation. The allocation will be done by the use of opaque envelopes with assignments.

It's an open-labeled study i.e. patients, investigators (surgeons, researchers) and data collectors will know which procedure will be done to which patients.

Discharge criteria for goup A include; uncomplicated procedure, afebrile patient without tachycardia, tolerance of oral feeding, adequate control of pain with oral analgesia, patient ambulating independently, adequate support at home.

Follow up: will be completed within one month (immediate post-operative outcome).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study
