Objective To study protective and therapeutic measures to improve perioperative safety in extremely elderly patients with biliary diseases.Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinical data of elderly patients with biliary diseases treated at the Department of General Surgery,Beijing Electric Power Hospital,from July 2013 to December 2018,were collected.According to age,the patients were divided into the high age (HA) group (≥80.0 years) and the middle-low age (MLA) group (60.0~79.0 years).The related indexes of perioperative safety such as preoperative coexisting diseases,functions of liver,kidney,heart and lung,surgical procedures,intraoperative blood loss,operation time,postoperative hospital stay and postoperative hospital stay were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results Of the 372 included patients,there were 168 males and 204 females,aged 60.0 to 96.0 (72.0 ± 8.6) years.There were 69 elderly patients (37 males and 32 females) aged 80.0 to 96.0 (84.4 ±3.8) years in the HA group.There were 303 patients in the middle and lower age group (131 men and 172 women),aged 60.0 to 79.0(68.4 ±5.8) years (MLA group).(1) Preoperative coexisting diseases were significantly increased in the HA compared with the MLA group (all P < 0.05),including the proportion of coexisting coronary heart disease [34.8% (24/69) vs.18.5% (56/303)],hypertension [68.1% (47/69)vs.46.9% (142/303)],chronic bronchitis with emphysema [17.4% (12/69) vs.3.6% (11/303)],hypoproteinemia [39.1% (27/69) vs.26.7% (81/303)],and anemia [42.0% (29/69) vs.11.9% (36/303)].(2) Laboratory examinations:the functions of liver,kidney,heart,lung and blood coagulation were significantly worse in the HA compared with the MLA group (P < 0.05).(3) Surgical procedures:the proportion of open cholecystectomy with transcystic common bile duct exploration (OC + OTCBDE) was higher [17.4% (12/69) vs.6.9% (21/303)],while laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) was lower [43.5% (30/69) vs.62.7% (190/303)],in the HA compared with the MLA group (P <0.05,totally).(4) Operative effects:the intraoperative blood loss [30.0 (20.0,75.0) ml vs.20.0 (10.0,30.0) ml],operation time [90.0(72.5,137.5) min vs.77.0(55.0,115.0) min],postoperative hospital stay [10.0(6.0,18.0) d vs.7.0(4.0,11.0) d],and length of hospitalization [17.0(11.5,23.0) d vs.13.0(9.0,19.0) d] were significantly increased or prolonged in the HA compared with the MLA group (all P <0.05).(5) Postoperative complications:the incidence of postoperative complications was significantly higher [30.4% (21/69) vs.12.2% (37/303)] in the HA compared with the MLA group (P < 0.05).(6) Therapeutic outcomes:there was a cure rate of 95.7% (66/69) in the HA group,and 97.7% (296/303)in the MLA group.No significant difference in the therapeutic effects was found between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusions Operation in extremely elderly patients with biliary diseases is safe and feasible.The key is to take measures such as actively treating preoperative coexisting diseases,strictly mastering operative indications,reasonably selecting surgical procedures,accurately carrying out precise operation,strictly monitoring and dealing with intraoperative emergency,timely preventing and treating postoperative complications,and especially focusing on maintaining cardiopulmonary function during the perioperative period.

Objective:The purpose of this study was to explore the critical values of monitored indexes of perioperative major adverse cardiac events(MACE), so as to take effective prevention and treatment measures in time to maintain the stability of perioperative cardiac function to further improve the perioperative safety of elderly patients with biliary diseases.Methods:The clinical data of 246 elderly patients with biliary diseases in our hospital from May 2016 to February 2022 were collected.According to whether MACE occurred during the perioperative period, they were divided into the MACE group and the non-MACE group.The differences of clinical data, the monitoring indexes of postoperative cardiac function, and the coagulation function between the two groups were compared and analyzed.Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of perioperative MACE, the cut-off value of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was calculated, and the Logistic multivariate prediction model was established.Results:In the MACE compared with the non-MACE group, age, postoperative complications and mortality, postoperative hospital stay, and the levels of postoperative high sensitivity troponin-I(Hs-TnI), creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB), myoglobin(MYO), B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP), and D-dimer(D-D)were significantly increased(all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that postoperative BNP and D-D were two independent risk factors for perioperative MACE, and their cut-off values in the ROC curve were 382.65 pg/mL and 0.975mg/L respectively.The Logistic multivariate prediction model established by the Logistic regression equation was P= ex/(1+ ex), X=-5.710+ 0.003X 1+ 0.811X 2, where X 1 was the postoperative BNP level and X 2 was the postoperative D-D level.The accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of this prediction model for predicting perioperative MACE were 96.3%(237/246), 100.0%(235/235), and 18.2%(2/11). Conclusions:The Logistic multivariate prediction model established in this study can effectively predict the occurrence of perioperative MACE in elderly patients.Postoperative BNP and D-D were two independent risk factors for perioperative MACE.The cut-off values of BNP and D-D in the ROC curve could be used as critical values for monitoring perioperative MACE.Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to take effective prevention and treatment measures in time to maintain the stability of perioperative cardiac function, and further improve the perioperative safety of elderly patients with biliary diseases.
