Abstract

Textbook outcome (TO) has been proposed as a tool to evaluate surgical quality. Textbook oncological outcome (TOO) adds chemotherapeutic compliance to TO. This study was conducted to analyze the TO and TOO of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery at our center. Data from a prospective database of patients operated on for gastric adenocarcinoma between September 2018 and September 2022 were analyzed. Postoperative management followed Enhanced Recovery After Surgery guidelines. The Dutch Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Audit group defined TO as a multidimensional measure (10 items). TOO also considers guideline-accordant chemotherapeutic compliance. Three hundred patients underwent surgery during the study period (167 men, 133 women). One hundred seventy-six (58.7%) reached TO. Achieving TO was influenced by patients' comorbidities, calculated via the Charlson Comorbidity Score (3 vs. 4; p = 0.002) and surgery type (subtotal gastrectomy; p < 0.001), but not by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score (p = 0.057) or surgical approach (laparoscopic vs. open; p = 0.208). The analysis of TOO included 213 patients. Of these, 71 (33%) underwent complete adequate systemic treatment. Compared with the non-TOO group, patients who achieved TOO had a lower median age (64 vs. 73 years; p < 0.001) and lower ASA score (p < 0.001) and more frequently underwent preoperative chemotherapy (p < 0.001). Our results represent the experience of a single team at a high-volume Western institute. Patients' comorbidities and surgery type influenced whether TO was achieved. Conversely, younger age, lower ASA score and preoperative chemotherapy were associated with TOO.
