Randomized clinical trial of multimodal optimization of surgical care in patients undergoing major colonic resection
Abstract
Background: The aim of this trial was to compare multimodal optimization with conventional perioperative management in a consecutive series of patients undergoing a wide range of colorectal procedures. Methods: Thirty-nine patients undergoing major elective colonic resection were recruited prospectively. Patients were randomized to receive a ten-point multimodal optimization package or conventional perioperative care. All patients were administered epidural analgesia and opiates were avoided. Outcome measures recorded related to length of hospital stay, physical and mental function, and gut function. Results: Optimization was associated with a significantly shorter median (interquartile range) hospital stay compared with conventional care (5 (4–9) versus 7·5 (6–10) days; P = 0·027). Duration of catheterization (P = 0·022) and duration of intravenous infusion (P = 0·007) were also less. Optimization was associated with a quicker recovery of gut function (P = 0·042). Grip strength was maintained in the postoperative period in the optimized group (P = 0·241) but not in the control group (P = 0·049). There were no differences in morbidity or mortality between the groups. Conclusion: Optimization is safe and results in a significant reduction in postoperative stay along with other improved endpoints. This cannot be directly attributed to improvement in any single outcome measure or to the use of epidural analgesia. Improvements are more likely to be multifactorial and may relate to an earlier return of gut function.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
