Long-term Functional Outcomes Among Older Adults Undergoing Video-assisted Versus Open Surgery for Lung Cancer

Long-term Functional Outcomes Among Older Adults Undergoing Video-assisted Versus Open Surgery... Objective: To examine the long-term healthcare dependency outcomes of older adults undergoing VATS compared to open lung cancer resection. Summary of Background Data: Although the benefits of VATS for lung cancer resection have been reported, there is a knowledge gap related to long-term functional outcomes central to decision-making for older adults. Methods: We conducted a population-based retrospective comparative cohort study of patients ≥70 years old undergoing lung cancer resection between 2010 and 2017 using linked administrative health databases. VATS was compared to open surgery for lung cancer resection. Outcomes were receipt of homecare and high time-at-home, defined as <14 institution-days within 1 year, in 5 years after surgery. We used time-to-event analyses. Homecare was analyzed as recurrent dichotomous outcome with Andersen-Gill multivariable models, and high time-at-home with Cox multivariable models. Results: Of 4974 patients, 2951 had VATS (59.3%). In the first three months postoperatively, homecare use ranged from 17.5% to 34.4% for VATS and 23.0% to 36.6% for open surgery. VATS was independently associated with lower need for postoperative homecare over 5 years (hazard ratio 0.82, 95% confidence interval 0.74-0.92). 1- and 5-year probability of high “time-at-home” were superior for VATS (74.4% vs 66.7% and 55.6% vs 45.4%, p < 0.001). VATS was independently associated with higher probability of high “time-at-home” (hazard ratio 0.81, 95% confidence interval 0.74-0.89) compared to open surgery. Conclusions: Compared to open surgery, VATS was associated with lower homecare needs and higher probability of high “time-at-home,” indicating reduced long-term functional dependence. Those important patient-centered endpoints reflect the overall long-term treatment burden on mortality and morbidity that can inform surgical decision-making. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Annals of Surgery Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

Objective: To examine the long-term healthcare dependency outcomes of older adults undergoing VATS compared to open lung cancer resection. Summary of Background Data: Although the benefits of VATS for lung cancer resection have been reported, there is a knowledge gap related to long-term functional outcomes central to decision-making for older adults. Methods: We conducted a population-based retrospective comparative cohort study of patients ≥70 years old undergoing lung cancer resection between 2010 and 2017 using linked administrative health databases. VATS was compared to open surgery for lung cancer resection. Outcomes were receipt of homecare and high time-at-home, defined as <14 institution-days within 1 year, in 5 years after surgery. We used time-to-event analyses. Homecare was analyzed as recurrent dichotomous outcome with Andersen-Gill multivariable models, and high time-at-home with Cox multivariable models. Results: Of 4974 patients, 2951 had VATS (59.3%). In the first three months postoperatively, homecare use ranged from 17.5% to 34.4% for VATS and 23.0% to 36.6% for open surgery. VATS was independently associated with lower need for postoperative homecare over 5 years (hazard ratio 0.82, 95% confidence interval 0.74-0.92). 1- and 5-year probability of high “time-at-home” were superior for VATS (74.4% vs 66.7% and 55.6% vs 45.4%, p < 0.001). VATS was independently associated with higher probability of high “time-at-home” (hazard ratio 0.81, 95% confidence interval 0.74-0.89) compared to open surgery.
