- Abstract
Objective: To compare long-term outcomes after laparoscopic lavage with resection surgery for perforated diverticulitis, Hinchey grade III as practiced in Sweden for 3 years., Background: Laparoscopic lavage has been studied in 3 randomized controlled trials. Long-term results indicate that additional surgery and a remaining stoma are less common after lavage compared with resection, but data from routine care and larger cohorts are needed to get a more complete picture., Methods: LapLav is a national cohort study with nearly complete coverage of all patients operated in Sweden between 2016 and 2018. The cohort was retrieved from the national patient register by a definition based on the Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems-10 code plus the surgical procedural code. All medical records have been reviewed and data retrieved in addition to registry data. Propensity score with inverse probability weighting was used to balance the 2 groups, that is, laparoscopic lavage vs resection surgery., Results: Before the propensity score was applied, the cohort consisted of 499 patients. Additional surgery was more common in the resection group [odds ratio, 0.714; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.529-0.962; P = 0.0271]. Mortality did not differ between the groups (hazard ratio, 1.20; 95% CI = 0.69-2.07; P = 0.516). In the lavage group, 27% of patients went on to have resection surgery., Conclusions: In Swedish routine care, laparoscopic lavage was feasible and safe for the surgical treatment of perforated diverticulitis, Hinchey grade III. Our results indicate that laparoscopic lavage can be used as a first-choice treatment., (Copyright © 2024 The Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.)

- Abstract
Background: High rates of negative intrusive thoughts have been reported among cancer patients. Prevalent users of beta-blocker therapy have reported lower levels of cancer related intrusive thoughts than non-user. The aim of this study is to investigate if initiation of beta-blocker therapy reduces the prevalence and severity of intrusive thoughts (co-primary endpoints) and the prevalence of anxiety, depressed mood, and low quality of life (secondary endpoints) in cancer survivors., Methods: Data on patient-reported outcomes from three cohort studies of Swedish patients diagnosed with colon, prostate or rectal cancer were combined with data on beta-blocker prescriptions retrieved from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register. Two randomized controlled trials were emulated. Trial 1 had follow-up 1 year after diagnosis, trial 2 had follow-up 2 years after diagnosis, baseline in both trials was 12 months before follow-up. Those who initiated beta-blocker therapy between baseline and follow-up was assigned Active group, those who did not was assigned Control group. All endpoints were analysed using Bayesian ordered logistic regression., Results: Trial 1 consisted of Active group, n = 59, and Control group, n = 3936. Trial 2 consisted of Active group, n = 87, and Control group, n = 3132. The majority of participants were men, 83% in trial 1 and 94% in trial 2. The prevalence and severity of intrusive thoughts were lower in the Active group in trial 1, but no significant differences between groups were found in either trial. The prevalence of depressed mood, worse quality of life and periods of anxiety were higher in the Active group in both trials with significant differences for quality of life in trial 1 and anxiety in trial 2., Conclusions: The emulated trials demonstrated no evidence of a protective effect of beta-blocker therapy against intrusive thoughts. The Active group had reduced quality of life and elevated anxiety compared to the Control group., Trial Registration: The three cohort studies were registered at isrctn.com/clinicaltrials.gov (ISRCTN06393679, NCT02530593 and NCT01477229)., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Aim: The aim of this work was to assess the effect of a short-term, home-based exercise intervention before and after colorectal cancer surgery on 12-month physical recovery within a previously reported randomized control trial (RCT)., Method: PHYSSURG-C is an RCT in six participating hospitals in Sweden. Patients aged ≥20 years planned for elective colorectal cancer surgery were eligible. The intervention consisted of unsupervised moderate-intensity physical activity 2 weeks preoperatively and 4 weeks postoperatively. Usual care was control. The primary outcome measure in PHYSSURG-C was self-assessed physical recovery 4 weeks postoperatively. The predefined long-term follow-up outcomes included: self-assessed physical recovery 12 months postoperatively and reoperations and readmissions 91-365 days postoperatively. The statistical models were adjusted with tumour site (colon or rectum), neoadjuvant therapy (none, radiotherapy or chemo/radiotherapy) and type of surgery (open or laparoscopic)., Results: A total of 616 participants were available for the 12-month follow-up. Groups were balanced at baseline regarding demographic and treatment variables. There was no effect from the intervention on self-reported physical recovery [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 0.91, p = 0.60], the risk of reoperation (OR 0.97, p = 0.91) or readmission (OR 0.88, p = 0.58)., Conclusion: The pre- and postoperative unsupervised moderate-intensity exercise intervention had no effect on long-term physical recovery after elective colorectal cancer surgery. There is still not enough evidence to support clinical guidelines on preoperative exercise to improve outcome after colorectal cancer surgery., (© 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic lavage as a treatment for perforated diverticulitis, Hinchey III, has been found safe and feasible in randomized trials. A few studies have reported functional outcomes and quality of life as secondary outcomes. This study investigated distress associated with dysfunction of the bowel or stoma, functional outcomes, and quality of life 2-3 years after surgery in a national unselected cohort., Methods: All patients in Sweden who underwent emergency surgery for perforated diverticulitis with purulent peritonitis (2016-2018) were invited to answer a comprehensive, study-specific questionnaire 2-3 years after the index surgery., Results: Out of 499 potential patients, 226 returned the questionnaire, and 209 were included in the analysis. There was no statistically significant difference between laparoscopic lavage and resection in distress associated with dysfunction of the bowel or stoma (odds ratio [OR], 1.32 [95% CI, 0.91-1.92]; p = 0.015). Bowel dysfunction measured by the LARS score was significantly higher for the lavage group (OR, 1.65 [95% CI, 1.11-2.45]), while stoma was more frequent after resection surgery (40 vs 6%)., Conclusions: Patients experienced long-term distress from bodily dysfunction after emergency surgery for perforated diverticulitis regardless of the technique used. Regular follow-up could benefit these patients., Trial Registration: The project was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov on 2017-11-06. Identifier: NCT03332550. Acronym: LapLav., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Objective: To determine the effect of a short-term, unsupervised exercise intervention before and after colorectal cancer surgery on self-assessed physical recovery., Summary of Background Data: Preoperative exercise interventions could help improve recovery after colorectal cancer surgery and is currently recommended., Methods: A randomized, parallel, open-label trial in six university or regional hospitals in Sweden. Inclusion criteria were age ≥20 years and planned elective colorectal cancer surgery. Participants were randomized to either a physical activity intervention with aerobic activity and inspiratory muscle training 2 weeks pre- and 4 weeks postoperatively or usual care. The primary outcome measure was self-assessed physical recovery 4 weeks postoperatively. Analyses were performed according to intention to treat. Outcome assessors were masked regarding the intervention while both participants and physiotherapists were informed due to the nature of the intervention., Results: Between January 22, 2015, and May 28, 2020, 761 participants were recruited and assigned to either intervention (I) (n = 379) or control (C) (n = 382). After exclusions 668 participants (I = 317, C = 351) were included in the primary analysis. There was no effect from the intervention on the primary outcome measure (adjusted odds ratio 0.84, 95% confidence interval 0.62-1.15) with 13% and 15% of participants feeling fully physically recovered in I and C, respectively. There were no reported adverse events., Conclusions: There was no effect from a physical activity intervention before and after colorectal cancer surgery on short-term self-assessed physical recovery. The results from this study call for reconsiderations regarding current recommendations for preoperative physical activity interventions., Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2021 The Author(s).

- Abstract
Aim: The factors that influence a patient's experience of a colostomy are not known. The aim of this study was to characterise stoma function, stoma-related bother and acceptance among patients operated for rectal cancer and to investigate if there were any preoperative personal factors with predictive impact on long-term stoma-related bother., Methods: The QoLiRECT (Quality of Life in RECTal cancer) study is a prospective multicentre study of patients with rectal cancer. This was a subgroup analysis of patients with a permanent colostomy with a 2-year follow-up. Penalised regression models with shrinkage estimation were used to predict the 1-and 2-year bother using baseline data. The predictive value and the importance of the included variables were evaluated using bootstrap resampling techniques., Results: A total of 379 patients were included. Overall stoma acceptance was high and a majority of patients were not bothered by their stoma; 77% and 83% at 1 and 2 years, respectively. The subgroup of patients with stoma-related bother had a high prevalence of difficulties, especially fear of leakage, and a low stoma acceptance in daily life. Both clinical and personal factors were associated with stoma-related bother. The most important factors were quality of life and physical health, but the prediction accuracy was low., Conclusions: Stoma-related bother was associated with overall stoma dysfunction. As stoma-related bother is a multifactorial problem, it was not possible to predict which patients will experience stoma-related bother. It is therefore of importance to prevent stoma-related symptoms and optimise stoma function to reduce long-term bother and increase stoma acceptance., (© 2021 The Authors.
