Construction and Validation of Risk Prediction Model for Gastrointestinal Dysfunction of Patient With Colorectal Cancer After Surgery

To understand the current situation of the postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction in patients with colorectal cancer effect a radical cure, and analyze the risk factors, and build the colorectal cancer radical surgery in patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction risk prediction nomogram model decision tree classification and regression tree model, through internal validation evaluation the performance of the two models in the modeling data set and dividing the postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction risk level.Two risk prediction models were used to carry out external verification, evaluate the clinical practicability and effectiveness of the model, and provide reference for further promotion of the model.

Detailed Description

Colorectal cancer is characterized by high morbidity and mortality. Surgical treatment is the main treatment for colorectal cancer. Surgery is the best treatment for long-term survival.

Surgery is a destructive operation, can lead to local tissue injury, physical barrier damage, causes the patient's body, and a series of metabolism, neuroendocrine and immune response, all of which can cause local inflammation or systemic inflammatory response, also leads to occurrence of related complications, such as abdominal and pelvic infection, fever, anastomotic infection and fistula, intestinal obstruction, etc., Thus increasing the risk of postoperative complications. The trauma and irritation of gastrointestinal tract caused postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction.

The procedure of surgery is accompanied by anesthesia, and the anesthesia mode of gastrointestinal surgery is mainly general anesthesia. Opioid analgesics are one of the most important components of general anesthesia. The most common side effects of opioid analgesics include postoperative intestinal obstruction, nausea and vomiting, chills and urinary retention. The use of anesthetic drugs further aggravated the postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction.

At the same time, laparoscopic surgery must establish pneumoperitoneum pressure. In recent years, studies have suggested that pneumoperitoneum pressure can lead to changes in the body's internal environment, resulting in a series of pathophysiological changes such as tissue ischemia, intestinal edema, and release of inflammatory factors in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in dysfunction of gastrointestinal function.

All the above reasons lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction as the highest complication after radical resection of colorectal cancer.A review of previous literature shows that there is no predictive assessment tool for gastrointestinal dysfunction in patients after radical resection of colorectal cancer.Therefore, it is necessary to construct a risk prediction model for patients after radical resection of colorectal cancer, and to verify the clinical practicability of the model through external verification.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
questionnaires assessed patient with colorectal cancer after surgery
Patients with colorectal cancer who had a radical resection surgery.
The contents of the questionnaire included gender, age, BMI, previous operation history, previous medication history, smoking history,patient mobility in the hospital, etc.Questionnaire was completed on the first postoperative day.From the third day to the end of the seventh day, patients were evaluated daily for gastrointestinal dysfunction.Postoperative mobility was assessed daily.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
gastrointestinal dysfunction
Time Frame: 3 days after surgery
The gastrointestinal dysfunction will be assessed by 《Intake, Feeling nauseated, Emesis, Exam, and Duration of symptoms scoring system(I-FEED)》.The questionnaire consisted of 5 items.The scale contains five items, with the highest score of 3 and the lowest score of 0 for each item. Items include: tolerance to eating, presence of nausea, presence of vomiting, presence of bloating, duration of symptoms.A score of 6 or greater is a diagnosis of gastrointestinal dysfunction.
3 days after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
BMI
Time Frame: Baseline
Weight/(Height)²
Baseline
Smoking history
Time Frame: Baseline
Smoking history will be assessed by 《Patient General Data Collection Form》,described by "yes" or "not".If patient has smoking history, the form will record how many cigarettes are smoked per day.
Baseline
Nutritional Risk
Time Frame: Baseline
It will be assessed by《European Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS 2002)》.If the score ≥3, it indicates high nutritional risk.The scale contains three items, namely, disease severity, nutritional status, and age. Among them, the highest score of disease severity and nutritional status was 3 and the lowest score was 0. Age ≥70 years is one point.
Baseline
Previous medication history
Time Frame: Baseline
Medications history will be assessed by 《Patient General Data Collection Form》,described by "History of use of chemotherapeutics" 、"History of use of opiates"、"History of use of antithrombotic drugs" or "not".
Baseline
Previous operation history
Time Frame: Baseline
Previous operation history will be assessed by 《Patient General Data Collection Form》,described by "History of non-abdominal surgery" 、"History of colectomy surgery"、"History of rectotomy surgery"、"History of other abdominal surgery" or "none".
Baseline
Preoperative bowel preparation
Time Frame: one day before surgery
It will be assessed by 《Bristol stool form scale》.Divided into 7 types, type 1 stool is granular, difficult to discharge. Type 2 is salami, which is hard. Type 3 is a strip with a cracked surface. Type 4 is strip, smooth surface, soft texture, easy to discharge. Type 5 stools are clumpy and soft in texture. Type 6 is a mushy loose stool. Type 7 is watery stool.
one day before surgery
Patient Mobility in the hospital
Time Frame: one day after surgery
Patient Mobility l will be assessed by 《Inter-rater reliability of the Johns Hopkins Highest Level of Mobility Scale (JH-HLM)》.The maximum score of the scale is 8 points, 1 to 3 points means that only bed activities can be carried out, 4-5 points means that bedside activities can be carried out, and 6-8 points means that under-bed activities can be carried out. The higher the score, the higher the level of activity.
