METHODS: A modified Delphi exercise was undertaken with three planned rounds to achieve consensus regarding the best Textbook Outcomes based on the category, number and importance (Likert scale of 1-5) of individual outcome measures. There were separate questions for non-trauma and trauma. A patient engagement exercise was undertaken after round 2 to inform the final round.
RESULTS: A total of 337 participants from 53 countries participated in all three rounds of the exercise. The final Textbook Outcomes were divided into \'early\' and \'longer-term\'. For non-trauma patients the proposed early Textbook Outcome was \'Discharged from hospital without serious postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ grade III; including intra-abdominal sepsis, organ failure, unplanned re-operation or death). For trauma patients it was \'Discharged from hospital without unexpected transfusion after haemostasis, and no serious postoperative complications (adapted Clavien-Dindo for trauma ≥ grade III; including intra-abdominal sepsis, organ failure, unplanned re-operation on or death)\'. The longer-term Textbook Outcome for both non-trauma and trauma was \'Achieved the early Textbook Outcome, and restoration of baseline quality of life at 1 year\'.
CONCLUSIONS: Early and longer-term Textbook Outcomes have been agreed by an international consensus of experts for non-trauma and trauma emergency laparotomy. These now require clinical validation with patient data.
方法:进行了修改的Delphi练习,计划进行三轮,以就基于类别的最佳教科书成果达成共识,单个结局指标的数量和重要性(李克特量表1-5)。非创伤和创伤有不同的问题。在第2轮之后进行了患者参与练习,以告知最后一轮。
结果:共有来自53个国家的337名参与者参加了所有三轮演习。最终的教科书成果分为“早期”和“长期”。对于非外伤患者,建议的早期教科书结果已出院,无严重术后并发症(Clavien-Dindo≥III级;包括腹腔内败血症,器官衰竭,计划外的再次手术或死亡)。对于外伤患者,在止血后没有意外输血就出院了,并且没有严重的术后并发症(适用于创伤≥III级的Clavien-Dindo;包括腹腔内败血症,器官衰竭,计划外的重新手术或死亡)。非创伤和创伤的长期教科书成果是实现早期教科书成果,并在1年时恢复基线生活质量。
结论:非创伤和创伤紧急剖腹手术的专家达成了国际共识。这些现在需要对患者数据进行临床验证。
