Multiprofessional Electronic Protocol for Digestive Surgery Validation

Abstract

Background: The creation of a computerized clinical database with the ability to collect prospective information from patients and with the possibility of rescue and crossing data enables scientific studies of higher quality and credibility in less time. Aim: To validate, in a single master protocol, the clinical data referring to Surgery of Digestive System in a multidisciplinary way, incorporating in the SINPE© platform, and to verify the incidence of digestive diseases based on the prospectively performed collections. Method: Organize in one software, in a standardized structure, all the pre-existing items in the SINPE© database; the theoretical basis was computerized through the MIGRASINPE© module creating a single multiprofessional master protocol for use as a whole. Results: The existing specific protocols were created and/or adapted - they correspond to the most prevalent digestive diseases - unifying them. The possibility of multiprofessional use was created by integrating all data collected from medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, nutrition and health management in a prospective way. The total was 4,281 collections, distributed as follows: extrahepatic biliary tract, n=1,786; esophagus, n=1015; anorectal, n=736; colon, n=550; small intestine, n=86; pancreas, n=71; stomach, n=23; liver, n=14. Conclusions: The validation of the unification and structuring in a single master protocol of the clinical data referring to the Surgery of the Digestive System in a multiprofessional and prospective way was possible and the epidemiological study carried out allowed to identify the most prevalent digestive diseases.

The Water-Soluble Contrast for Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction: Are There Advantages?

“…Several studies demonstrate the importance of using a standardized protocol for the administration of gastrografin in cases of ASBO, which results in a decrease in the rates of laparotomies and a decrease in the length of hospital stay 17 , 23 . It is important to adopt diagnostic methods in a context where exclusive clinical evaluation proved to be limited in some case series, in view of the low sensitivity to identifying surgical cases 15 , 19 .…”

Combined Venous and Arterial Reconstruction in the Triangle Area After Total Pancreatoduodenectomy

“…Pancreatoduodenectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the current treatment in patients with borderline pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in the head of the pancreas 1 , 2 , 3 . The total mesopancreas excision concept includes the resection of the lymphatic structures on the right side of the SMA and along the neuronal plexus of the pancreatic head.…”

Constipation Scoring System Validated for the Portuguese Language (Índice De Gravidade Da Constipação Intestinal): Is It Reliable in Assessing the Severity of Intestinal Chronic Constipation in Our Population?

“…Intestinal chronic constipation is one of the most frequent gastrointestinal disorders in general clinical practice 17 , 27 , 28 , reaching up to 34% of the studied population. It is considered to have a high global prevalence being endemic in the elderly population and associate with a significant impact on quality of life 14 , 16 .…”
