Abstrakt: Introduction: Standardisation has the potential to serve as a measure to mitigate complication rates. The objective was to assess the impact of standardisation by implementing a colorectal bundle (CB), which comprises nine elements, on the complication rates in left-sided colorectal resections.
Patients and Methods: This prospective, multicentre, observational, cohort trial was conducted in Switzerland at nine participating hospitals. During the control period, each patient was treated in accordance with the local standard protocol at their respective hospital. In the CB period, all patients were treated in accordance with the CB. The primary endpoint was the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) at 30 days.
Results: A total of 1141 patients were included (723 in the No CB group and 418 in the CB group). Median age was 66 years and 50.6% were female. Median CCI before and after CB implementation was 0.0 (Interquartile Range [IQR]: 0.0-20.9). A hurdle model approach was used for the analysis. The CB was not associated with the presence or severity of complications. Older age (Odds Ratio [OR] 1.02, 95% Confidence Intervall [CI]: 1.00-1.03), surgery for malignancy (OR 1.34, 95% CI: 1.01-1.92), emergency surgery (OR 2.19, 95% CI: 1.31-3.41), elevated nutritional risk score (OR 1.13, 95% CI: 1.01-1.24) and Body-Mass Index (OR 1.04, 95% CI: 1.00-1.06) were associated with higher odds of postoperative complications. In a supplementary per-protocol analysis, for each additional item of the CB fulfilled, the odds of anastomotic leakage (AL) were 24% lower (OR 0.76, 95% CI: 0.64-0.93).
Conclusions: Dedicated teams can establish high quality colorectal services in a network of hospitals with a joint standard. The study can serve as a model for other healthcare settings to conduct and implement quality improvement programs. The consistent implementation of the CB items can reduce the occurrence of AL.
