“…The incidence of DVT ranges from 2.1% to 5% in this population. [46,47] In the present study, the incidence of DVT was 0.31% in the pre-implementation group, and 0.08% in the post-implementation group ( P = .02). This incidence was lower than the rates reported in the previous studies.…”

A 19-item surgical safety checklist (SSC) was published by the World Health Organization in 2008 and was proved to reduce postoperative complications. To date, however, the impacts of SSC implementation in China have not been evaluated clearly. The study was performed to evaluate the impacts of the SSC on postoperative clinical outcomes in gastrointestinal tumor patients. Between April 2007 and March 2013, 7209 patients with gastrointestinal tumor who underwent elective surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were studied. Data on the clinical records and outcomes of 3238 consecutive surgeries prior to SSC implementation were retrospectively collected; data on another 3971 consecutive surgeries performed after SSC implementation were prospectively collected. The clinical outcomes (including mortality, morbidity, readmission, reoperation, unplanned intervention and postoperative hospital stay) within postoperative 30 days were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to identify independent factors for postoperative complications. The rates of morbidity and in-hospital mortality before and after SSC implementation were 16.43% vs 14.33% ( P = .018), 0.46% vs 0.18% ( P = .028), respectively. Median of postoperative hospital stay in post-implementation group was shorter than that in pre-implementation group (8 vs 9 days, P < .001). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that the SSC was an independent factor influencing postoperative complications (odds ratio = 0.860; 95% CI, 0.750–0.988). Implementation of the SSC could improve the clinical outcomes in gastrointestinal tumor patients undergoing elective surgery in China.
