Background: Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening condition requiring urgent medical care and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Given that in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is still poorly investigated, data on health-associated quality of life thereafter remains scarce. The available evidence is mostly transferred from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest studies, but the epidemiology and determinants of success might be different. The aim of the study was to investigate the change in the quality of life after in-hospital cardiac arrest and to identify potential risk factors for a poor outcome. Material and methods: This retrospective analysis of data and prospective evaluation of quality of life included all patients surviving an IHCA and being treated by the emergency medical team between 2010 and 2020. The primary endpoint of the study was the quality of life after IHCA at the reference date. Secondary endpoints covered determination of risk factors and predictors of poor outcome after in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Results: In total 604 patients were resuscitated within the period of 11 years and 61 (10%) patients survived until the interview took place. Finally, 48 (79%) patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria and 31 (65%) were included in the study. There was no significant difference in the quality of life before and after cardiac arrest (EQ-5D-5L utility 0.79 vs. 0.78, p = 0.567) and in the EQ-5D-5L visual analogue scale (VAS) score. Conclusion: The quality of life before and after IHCA in survivors was good and comparable. The quality of life was mostly affected by reduced mobility and anxiety/depression. Future studies with larger patient samples should focus on potentially modifiable factors that could prevent, warn, and limit the consequences of in-hospital cardiac arrest. Moreover, research on outcomes of IHCA should include available tools for the quality of life assessment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Study goal: The study goals were to analyze the course and compare it with patients who were only resuscitated manually as well as to record the influencing factors in patients in whom the mechanical chest compression aid LUCAS2™ was used as an add-on treatment at the NEF Innsbruck. Material and methodology: Retrospective history data analysis of patients in the study period from 01.01.2014 to 31.12.2019 of the NEF Innsbruck from the German Resuscitation Register (GRR), in which LUCAS2™ was used as an add-on treatment according to an emergency doctor's order. Result: A total of 123 add-on LUCAS2™ applications (18.8%) were performed in 653 resuscitations. Of all patients 16.2% survived the first 30 days. By using add-on-LUCAS2TM application 7.3% (9/123) of all add-on LUCAS2TM resuscitations and 1.4% (n = 9) of all CPR survived. Cardiac arrest was observed in 8/9 add-on LUCAS2™ 30-day survivors and bystander CPR was performed and 8/9 showed ventricular fibrillation as the primary rhythm. Compared to manual CPR alone, add-on LUCAS2™ resuscitation was used highly significantly (p < 0.001) more frequently in younger, male patients, in public, in shockable initial rhythms and during transport, and significantly more frequently in observed cardiac arrest (p < 0.05). The 30-day mortality with additive lysis treatment was 100%. Discussion: By using add-on LUCAS2™ CPR a percentage increase in survival rate can be achieved and thus appears advantageous (1.4% in our study). This means that high-quality CPR can be carried out on patients with favorable prognostic factors, even with technically complex rescue operations (turntable ladder, staircase, transport in an ambulance) and thus transport can be made possible; however, there is a higher admission rate under CPR and thus the treatment target decision is shifted to the shock room.

Background: Pancreatic cancer is the second most frequent cause of death among all forms of cancer in Germany with more than 19,000 deaths per year. The evaluation of the nationwide clinical cancer register aims to depict the reality of treatment and to improve the quality of treatment in the future by targeted analyses. Method: The data from the clinical cancer register of Brandenburg-Berlin for the diagnosis years 2001–2017 were analyzed with respect to the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Data from patients resident in the State of Brandenburg were evaluated with respect to epidemiological and therapeutic parameters. Results: A total of 5418 patients with pancreatic cancer were documented in the register from 2001 to 2017 and 49.6% of the patients were diagnosed as having the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) stage IV. A pancreas resection was carried out in 26.4% of the cases. In cases of cancer of the head of the pancreas the most frequent procedure was a pylorus-preserving resection with 51.8% and a pancreatectomy was carried out in 9.4%. The R0 resection rate of all pancreatic cancers in the period from 2014 to 2017 was 61.9%. After R0 resection the 5‑year survival was 19%. Relevant multivariate survival factors were age, UICC stage and the residual (R) tumor classification. The case numbers per hospital had no influence on the absolute survival of patients operated on in the State of Brandenburg. Conclusion: The treatment reality in the State of Brandenburg for patients with pancreatic cancer corresponds to the results of international publications with respect to the key performance indicators investigated. A qualitative internationally comparable treatment of these patients is also possible in nonmetropolitan regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A relevant number of patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma show a locoregional complete response of the tumor in the resected material after neoadjuvant therapy with modern chemotherapy and chemoradiation protocols. Due to a high rate of perioperative morbidity and decreased long-term quality of life following esophagectomy, the current treatment algorithm with neoadjuvant therapy and post-neoadjuvant esophagectomy on principle is critically questioned. An individualized treatment algorithm with extended clinical evaluation of post-neoadjuvant remission status and esophagectomy as needed is discussed. Patients with complete remission after neoadjuvant therapy are identified in an extended restaging protocol. Cases of clinical complete remission are treated with an active surveillance concept with esophagectomy as needed, i.e. surgery only when a local tumor recurrence is detected. Retrospective cohort studies have suggested that the active surveillance concept with esophagectomy as needed does not lead to a deterioration of overall survival rates in the patient collective. European prospective randomized, controlled, noninferiority studies with an oncological endpoint are currently evaluating the possibilities of organ-preserving concepts for clinical complete remission of esophageal cancer.
