Late adjuvant chemotherapy (aCT) administration after colectomy (56 d) is known to be associated with impaired prognosis. We aim to identify risk factors associated with late aCT, especially the travel time between patients' home and hospital.We performed a retrospective monocentre cohort study. Patients included had a colectomy for a stage III or high risk stage II colon cancer between 2009 and 2015 performed at a French university hospital. Risk factors for late aCT were identified using a fractional polynomial logistic regression.Ninety-four patients were included. The risk of late aCT was associated with travel time length, emergent colectomy, the need for scheduled care before aCT, and length of time between colectomy and postoperative multidisciplinary meeting advising aCT.Our study suggests that, in patients with colon cancer, factors unrelated to disease severity and complexity could be associated with a higher risk of late aCT.

Summary Introduction Totally implanted venous access (TIVA) improves the safety and welfare of patients treated with cancer chemotherapy (CCT). We aimed to evaluate patients’ perception of TIVA placement, TIVA use, and information on TIVA, and to assess the association between patients’ perception and their attitude regarding a potential TIVA re-implantation. Methods We conducted a single center cross-sectional survey in a university hospital in Northern France. Patients included were consecutive urologic or digestive cancer inpatients admitted for a CCT cycle via TIVA between April 9th and May 9th 2014. We analyzed patients’ satisfaction, experience, and attitude, especially when requiring potential TIVA re-implantation under local anesthesia (LA), using a standardized questionnaire and medical records. We analyzed risk factors for refusing potential TIVA re-implantation under LA using multivariate logistic regression. Results Eighty-one patients were interviewed (no refusals), including 57 with a TIVA device placed under LA in our university hospital. Among them, 52/57 (91%) reported satisfactory TIVA placement, but respectively 21/57 (37%) and 18/57 (32%) complained of painful or uncomfortable TIVA placement; 51/57 (89%) were satisfied with care provided during CCT cycles. Risk factors for refusing potential re-implantation under LA were: TIVA placement considered painful (P = 0.012) or uncomfortable (P = 0.038) and dissatisfaction with care provided during CCT cycles (P = 0.028). Discussion We show that despite good overall satisfaction regarding TIVA, some aspects were less positive and warrant improvement actions. It suggests that these actions could not only improve patients’ experience of TIVA use but could also facilitate continuation of treatment in the long term.

Introduction We aimed to assess the association between a patient’s social status and the cost of stay for a single uncomplicated vaginal delivery. Currently, few data have been reported. Material and methods We conducted an observational study with data retrieved from the medical and administrative databases of a university hospital in North-West France. We included all patients admitted in 2014 and classified in either Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) « Single uncomplicated vaginal deliveries in a primiparous patient » or DRG « Single uncomplicated vaginal deliveries in a multiparous patient ». Criteria defining poor social status were: a specific healthcare benefit in relation to low income or for foreign undocumented patients, and/or a consultation with a social worker during the hospital stay except if no social problem was diagnosed. We compared the cost of stay between patients with poor social status and patients with good social status using a multivariate median regression stratified on parity, and adjusted for age, gestational age and neonatal hospitalization. Results Among 686 primiparous patients, 21% had poor social status, which was associated with an increase in the median cost of stay (+€475; 95% CI [+334 to +616]), mostly explained by a 1-day increase in the median length of stay.Among 899 multiparous patients, 29% had poor social status, which was not associated with the cost of stay. Discussion Social status had an impact on the cost of vaginal deliveries in primiparous patients. Our findings suggest a need to redefine the DRG classification according to patients' social status.
