- W118081456 abstract "The objective of this study of a retrospective case series was to determine factors associated with survival after surgical intervention in pseudomembranous colitis (PMC). The study was conducted at a tertiary care medical center and comprised 36 patients who underwent colectomy for fulminant PMC from 1995 to 2006. Patients including 21 females ranged from 40 to 89 years of age (mean, 70 years). Comorbidities included diabetes (39%), cardiovascular disease (77%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (47%), and intake of immunosuppressive medications (45%). Seventy-two per cent received antibiotics in the previous 2 months. Only patients with a confirmation of PMC on pathology specimens were included in the study. All patients underwent colectomy. Patients were stratified into two groups: survivors and nonsurvivors. Various clinical factors/parameters used in the management of patients with PMC were studied in these two groups. Survival was correlated with mean white blood cell count (23,000 survivors versus 40,000 nonsurvivors, P < 0.01); multisystem organ failure (16 per cent survivors versus 47 per cent nonsurvivors, P < 0.05); and preoperative pressors (16 per cent survivors versus 47 per cent nonsurvivors, P < 0.05). Overall mortality for the study period was 47 per cent. Mortality rate analysis revealed a lower rate for the more recent years (32 per cent for 2000 to 2006 versus 65 per cent for 1995 to 1999, P < 0.05). In the more recent years, the time elapsing before colectomy was also lower (1.4 days versus 2.5 days, nonsignificant), and patients had less preoperative hemodynamic instability (70 per cent versus 31 per cent, P < 0.03). In one institution, survival after surgery for PMC was found to be associated with a mean white blood cell count (<37,000), nondependence on preoperative vasopressors, and surgical intervention before the onset of hemodynamic instability." @default.
