Popis: | Purpose There is no concrete evidence to support the association between the amount of subcutaneous fat area (SFA) in the central venous port-insertion site (precordium) and port-related complications. We aimed to investigate the relationship between SFA in the midclavicular line and postoperative infectious complications in patients undergoing port-insertion surgery. Methods This was a single-institute and historical cohort study of 174 patients who underwent first central venous port implantation surgery for chemotherapy between January 2014 and December 2018. SFA in the midclavicular line was measured using preoperative computed tomography scans. The patients were divided into three groups according to SFA amount tertiles, and we investigated the association of SFA with infectious and all-cause complication events within 1 year. Results Within a median follow-up of 306 days, the patients with intermediate SFA had significantly higher infection-free survival than those with low and high SFA (low vs. intermediate vs. high: 80.4% vs. 97.7% vs. 83.4%, respectively, p=0.034). In contrast, there was no significant difference in the overall complication-free survival among the groups (low vs. intermediate vs. high: 80.4% vs. 88.9% vs. 81.8%, respectively, p=0.29). Low SFA was independently associated with high risk of infectious complications (hazard ratio, 9.45; 95% confidence interval, 1.07–83.22, p=0.043). Conclusion Low SFA in the midclavicular line was an independent risk factor for infectious complications in the chemotherapy setting. This practical indicator can be useful for optimizing patients’ nutritional status and when considering other types of vascular access to support administration of intravenous chemotherapy. |
