Relation between Sarcopenia and Surgical Site Infection in Patients Undergoing Gastric Cancer Surgery.

Abstract:

: Background: Sarcopenia is a syndrome that can have negative consequences after gastric cancer (GC) surgery. This study aims to determine the effect of sarcopenia on surgical site infection (SSI) that develops after open GC surgery. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective design study, data were collected for patients who underwent GC surgery between January 2013 and August 2019. The diagnosis of sarcopenia was made according to the skeletal muscle index (SMI) calculated from pre-operative computed tomography images. Patients with sarcopenia and those without sarcopenia were compared in terms of SSIs; the risk factors for SSI were also analyzed. Results: One hundred forty-nine patients were included in the study and had a mean age of 59.3 years. Post-operative complications developed in 59 patients (39.6%) and SSIs in 28 patients (18.7%). Sarcopenia was detected in 57 (38.3%) patients; the mean age was 59.9 years in the sarcopenic group (SG) and 58.9 years in the non-sarcopenic group (NSG; p = 0.55). The mean SMI was 382.5 mm2/m2 and 646.2 mm2/m2 in the SG and NSG, respectively (p < 0.001). A relation between SSIs and sarcopenia was detected; 17 patients in the SG (29.8%) versus 11 patients in the NSG (11.9%; p = 0.007). Surgical site infection was not found to be statistically significantly related to obesity, hypoalbuminemia, intra-operative blood loss, or duration of operation, although the sarcopenic obesity patients were found to have the highest SSI rate (40%). Conclusion: The present study identified a relation between sarcopenia and SSIs occurring after GC surgery. The authors believe that studies seeking to reduce the incidence of SSIs, which are a leading cause of morbidity after GC surgery, should be supported.
