    Abstract Traditional surgical outcome measures include minor and major complications, hospital length of stay and sometimes longer-term survival. Each of these is important but there needs to be greater emphasis on patient-reported outcome measures. Global measures of a patient's quality of recovery, avoidance of postoperative morbidities, early hospital discharge to home (without re-admission) and longer term disability-free survival can better define postoperative recovery. A patient's recovery pathway can be mapped through the immediate days or weeks after surgery with documentation of morbidity using the postoperative morbidity survey and/or a quality of recovery score, days alive and at home up to 30 days after surgery and then longer term disability-free survival using the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 scale. These can be used to define quality of recovery after surgery.

    Abstract Background: Dexamethasone has been shown to reduce acute pain after surgery, but there is uncertainty as to its effects on chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP). We hypothesised that in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery, a single intraoperative dose of dexamethasone increases the incidence of CPSP.
    Methods: We devised a propensity score-matched analysis of the ENIGMA-II trial CPSP dataset, aiming to compare the incidence of CPSP in patients who had received dexamethasone or not 12 months after major noncardiac surgery. The primary outcome was the incidence of CPSP. We used propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting to balance baseline variables to estimate the average marginal effect of dexamethasone on patient outcomes, accounting for confounding to estimate the average treatment effect on those treated with dexamethasone.
    Results: We analysed 2999 patients, of whom 116 of 973 (11.9%) receiving dexamethasone reported CPSP, and 380 of 2026 (18.8%) not receiving dexamethasone reported CPSP, unadjusted odds ratio 0.76 (95% confidence interval 0.78-1.00), P=0.052. After propensity score matching, CPSP occurred in 116 of 973 patients (12.2%) receiving dexamethasone and 380 of 2026 patients (13.8%) not receiving dexamethasone, adjusted risk ratio 0.88 (95% confidence interval 0.61-1.27), P=0.493. There was no difference between groups in quality of life or pain interference with daily activities, but 'least pain' (P=0.033) and 'pain right now' (P=0.034) were higher in the dexamethasone group.
    Conclusions: Dexamethasone does not increase the risk of chronic postsurgical pain after major noncardiac surgery.

    Abstract Effective pain control enhances patient recovery after surgery. Laparoscopic techniques for major abdominal surgery are increasingly utilised to reduce surgical trauma. Intrathecal morphine is an attractive analgesic option that is gaining popularity. However, limited evidence guides its use in the setting of laparoscopic surgery. In addition, enhanced recovery after surgery pathways advocate opioid-sparing techniques. We conducted a feasibility trial to compare intrathecal morphine with non-neuraxial analgesia in laparoscopic or laparoscopic-assisted major abdominal surgery to inform the design of a future large clinical trial. This multicentre, double-blind, randomised controlled trial was conducted at two tertiary hospitals in Australia. Fifty-one patients were randomly allocated to receive either intrathecal morphine (intervention group) or a sham subcutaneous injection of normal saline in the lumbar area (control group) immediately before the induction of general anaesthesia. Co-primary outcomes were patient recruitment and successful adherence to treatment allocation as per the study protocol. The primary endpoints of feasibility and protocol adherence were met with a 46% recruitment rate (51 of 110 eligible patients) and 96% protocol adherence. There was only one patient with failed access to the intrathecal space. For secondary endpoints, fewer patients in the intrathecal morphine group required opioids in the post-anaesthesia care unit, their postoperative pain scores at rest were lower across the four time-points measured (p = 0.007), but not dynamic pain scores (p = 0.061), and pruritus was more common following intrathecal morphine (p = 0.007). Total oral morphine equivalents until postoperative day 3 were less in the intrathecal morphine group (median (95%CI) difference 82 (-13 to 168) mg), but this reduction was not statistically significant (p = 0.10). These findings support conducting a definitive clinical trial.

    Abstract In some patients, the inflammatory-immune response to surgical injury progresses to a harmful, dysregulated state. We posit that postoperative systemic inflammatory dysregulation forms part of a pathophysiological response to surgical injury that places patients at increased risk of complications and subsequently prolongs hospital stay. In this narrative review, we have outlined the evolution, measurement and prediction of postoperative systemic inflammatory dysregulation, distinguishing it from a healthy and self-limiting host response. We reviewed the actions of glucocorticoids and the potential for heterogeneous responses to peri-operative corticosteroid supplementation. We have then appraised the evidence highlighting the safety of corticosteroid supplementation, and the potential benefits of high/repeated doses to reduce the risks of major complications and death. Finally, we addressed how clinical trials in the future should target patients at higher risk of peri-operative inflammatory complications, whereby corticosteroid regimes should be tailored to modify not only the a priori risk, but also further adjusted in response to markers of an evolving pathophysiological response.
