Abstract

Background

Multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings are important but resource-expensive components of surgical and oncologic care. This cohort study investigated the effectiveness of surgical MDT meetings by assessing the predictability of MDT meeting recommendations, the degree that patient management plans are changed by discussion, and the incidence of recommendation implementation.

Methods

Multidisciplinary team meetings at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in South Australia were audited for upper gastrointestinal (UGI) and colorectal (CR) surgical units from August 2021 to June 2022. All cases referred for MDT meeting discussion were included. Prospectively obtained pre-MDT meeting management plans were compared with formal MDT meeting recommendations to assess for concordance and degree of change. Patient records were assessed after 8 months for MDT meeting recommendation implementation. Multivariable analysis of patient factors was performed to identify associations between MDT meeting recommendation predictability and implementation.

Results

In 438 patient cases, discussed during 30 MDT meetings, 317 (72.37%) were correctly predicted. Specifically, 226 (51.6%) were correct with no change, 28 (6.39%) were correct with minor changes, 40 (9.13%) were correct with moderate changes, and 23 (5.25%) were correct with major changes. The UGI and CR cohorts differed significantly in moderate changes (P = 0.0217). The female patients were 1.62 times more likely than the male patients to have pre-MDT meeting management plans predicted (P = 0.0201). Formal MDT meeting recommendations were implemented in 380 (89.62%) cases.

Conclusions

The MDT meetings changed management for almost 1 in 2 patients discussed. Other than female sex, no identifiable patient factors increased the likelihood of predictability, and no factors predicted recommendation implementation.

Neu im Fachgebiet Chirurgie

Ab sofort gelten die neuen Verordnungsausnahmen für Lipidsenker

Freie Fahrt für Lipidsenker? Das nicht, doch mit niedrigerem Schwellenwert fürs Infarktrisiko und neuen Indikationen hat der G-BA die Verordnungs-Handbremse ein gutes Stück weit gelockert.

Appendizitis und Darminfarkt durch Blinddarm-Lipom

Eigentlich sind Lipome recht harmlos. Im Zäkum können sie jedoch erhebliche Komplikationen mit Darminfarkt und Appendizitis verursachen.

Gluteuslappen nach Rektumkarzinom-Op. schützt vor Abszessen

Die Wunddeckung mit einem autologen Rotationslappen nach Entfernung eines Rektumkarzinoms konnte in einer randomisierten Studie gegenüber dem primären Wundverschluss vor allem in einer Hinsicht punkten: Sie führte deutlich seltener zu präsakralen Abszessen.

MedTalk Leitlinie KOMPAKT: S3-Leitline zu peripheren Nervenverletzungen

  • Webinar | 10.02.2025 | 13:00

Über den Weg zur finalen Fassung der S3-Leitlinie "Versorgung peripherer Nervenverletzungen" sprechen Prof. Dr. Leila Harhaus-Wähner und Ressortleiter Dr. Gunter Freese im WebTalk Leitlinie KOMPAKT, einer neuen Webcast-Serie von SpringerMedizin passend zu Ihrem Fachmagazin Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie Mitteilungen und Nachrichten. In dem kurzen Video geht es darum, was sich im Vergleich zur vorigen Fassung der Leitlinie geändert hat, welche Aspekte für die tägliche Praxis besonders wichtig sind und was jeder gemäß Leitlinie nun anders oder besser machen sollte.
