Does an Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) program improve outcomes and reduce length of stay in patients aged over 75 undergoing oesophagectomy?
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 6.2%
p-value: p=0.04
In patients over 75 undergoing oesophagectomy, an ERAS program significantly reduces length of hospital stay and 30-day mortality.
Oakley et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Oesophageal cancer (n=147). Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program vs. Time period before the ERAS program was evaluated on 30-day mortality (p=0.04). An Enhanced Recovery After Surgery program in patients over 75 undergoing oesophagectomy significantly reduced 30-day mortality from 6.2% to 0% (p=0.04) compared to the prior period.
