“…Health related quality of life (HRQoL) was evaluated by the 5-dimensional scale of the EuroQoL (EQ-5D-3 L) rated with local utilities [ 8 ] and visual analogue scale (EQVAS) at 30 days after surgery. EQ-5D-3 L is a questionnaire with five dimensions regarding mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression on three levels to define HRQoL values (utilities) for 245 health states.…”

Predictors of major complications after elective abdominal surgery in cancer patients

BackgroundPatients undergoing abdominal surgery for solid tumours frequently develop major postoperative complications, which negatively affect quality of life, costs of care and survival. Few studies have identified the determinants of perioperative complications in this group.MethodsWe performed a prospective observational study including all patients (age > 18) undergoing abdominal surgery for cancer at a single institution between June 2011 and August 2013. Patients undergoing emergency surgery, palliative procedures, or participating in other studies were excluded. Primary outcome was a composite of 30-day all-cause mortality and infectious, cardiovascular, respiratory, neurologic, renal and surgical complications. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictive factors for major perioperative adverse events.ResultsOf a total 308 included patients, 106 (34.4%) developed a major complication during the 30-day follow-up period. Independent predictors of postoperative major complications were: age (odds ratio [OR] 1.03 [95% CI 1.01–1.06], p = 0.012 per year), ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status greater than or equal to 3 (OR 2.61 [95% CI 1.33–5.17], p = 0.003), a preoperative haemoglobin level lower than 12 g/dL (OR 2.13 [95% CI 1.21–4.07], p = 0.014), intraoperative use of colloids (OR 1.89, [95% CI 1.03–4.07], p = 0.047), total amount of intravenous fluids (OR 1.22 [95% CI 0.98–1.59], p = 0.106 per litre), intraoperative blood losses greater than 500 mL (2.07 [95% CI 1.00–4.31], p = 0.043), and hypotension needing vasopressor support (OR 4.68 [95% CI 1.55–27.72], p = 0.004). The model had good discrimination with the area under the ROC curve being 0.80 (95% CI 0.75–0.84, p < 0.001).ConclusionsOur findings suggest that a perioperative strategy aimed at reducing perioperative complications in cancer surgery should include treatment of preoperative anaemia and an optimal fluid strategy, avoiding fluid overload and intraoperative use of colloids.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12871-018-0516-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Desde entonces se ha utilizado para medir el estado de salud de la población general en varios países de Europa (9) y en algunos de Latinoamérica. Los estudios realizados en Brasil y en Argentina, fueron conducidos con fin de obtener las preferencias de la población para un grupo limitado (no más de 90) de estados de salud derivados del EQ5D; pero en ninguno de ellos se informa sobre el estado de salud individual reportado por los participantes ni sobre la valoración que los individuos hacen de su estado de salud (10,11). En Colombia, hasta la fecha de este estudio, tampoco se habían encontrado estudios que reportaran sobre los estados de salud y su valoración en la población colombiana.…”

“…44 In Brazil, only recently EQ-5D and SF-6D were cross-cultural adapted and validated, as well as societal preferences weights were estimated. [45][46][47][48] The difficulty to derive a valid QALY measure is even greater for pediatric populations, because a valid and reliable preference-based measure of utility for child health states does not exist, and the novel approaches are still under methodological investigation. 41,49 HEEs of vaccination usually incorporate only health benefits (reduction in morbidity and mortality) and averted medical spending, undervaluing the vaccines.…”

Methods: Systematic review of the literature. We searched multiple databases. Two researchers independently selected the studies and extracted the data. The methodological quality of individual studies was evaluated using CHEERS items. Results: Twenty studies were reviewed. The most evaluated vaccines were pneumococcal (25%) and HPV (15%). The most used types of HEE were cost-effectiveness analysis (45%) and cost-utility analysis (20%). The research question and compared strategies were stated in all 20 studies and the target population was clear in 95%. Nevertheless, many studies did not inform the perspective of analysis or data sources. Conclusions: HEE of vaccines in Brazil has increased since 2008. However, the studies still have methodological deficiencies.
