id="ch11.s1.1"><h3>Review question</h3><p>What is the effectiveness of stenting compared with emergency surgery for suspected colorectal cancer causing acute large bowel obstruction?</p><div id="ch11.s1.1.1"><h4>Introduction</h4><p>Patients presenting with suspected malignant colonic obstruction typically have two treatment options &#x02013; emergency surgery, which is associated with a number of different complications, including high morbidity and mortality and a high rate of stoma formation; or stenting, which involves placing a hollow, self-expanding, flexible metal tube in the large bowel to keep it open. The use of colonic stents as a bridge to surgery has the potential to convert a bowel obstruction from an emergency condition to an elective situation, yet controversy remains as to whether this treatment option is superior to traditional emergency surgical options. Therefore the aim of this review is to determine the effectiveness of stenting compared with emergency surgery for suspected colorectal cancer causing acute large bowel obstruction.</p></div><div id="ch11.s1.1.2"><h4>Summary of the protocol</h4><p>Please see <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK559925/table/ch11.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch11tab1" rid-ob="figobch11tab1">Table 1</a> for a summary of the population, intervention, comparison and outcome (PICO) characteristics of this review.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figch11tab1"><a href="/books/NBK559925/table/ch11.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table 1" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figch11tab1" rid-ob="figobch11tab1"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK559925/table/ch11.tab1/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK559925/table/ch11.tab1/?report=previmg" alt="Table 1.

evidence</h4><div id="ch11.s1.1.10.1"><h5>Interpreting the evidence</h5><div id="ch11.s1.1.10.1.1"><h5>The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>Clinically successful bowel decompression, as defined by the author, was considered a critical outcome as it identifies the clinical success rate of stent placement compared to emergency surgery. 30-day mortality was also a critical outcome as it indicates the technical success rate of stent deployment. Disease-free survival was a critical outcome for decision making because disease progression suggests ineffective management of the cancer and bowel obstruction, potentially requiring further treatment and affecting overall survival, which was considered an important outcome.</p><p>Length of hospital stay and treatment-related morbidity (including anastomotic leak, perforation rate, surgical site infection, stoma rate and stent failure) were considered important outcomes because they are indicators of technical success of the stent. Quality of life was an important outcome because of the impact that different treatment options can have on patients&#x02019; functioning and the potential long term adverse effects.</p></div><div id="ch11.s1.1.10.1.2"><h5>The quality of the evidence</h5><p>Evidence was available for the comparison of stenting followed by planned bowel resection or palliative care versus emergency surgery. Evidence was available for all of the outcomes. No evidence was available for the comparison of stenting followed by palliative care versus best supportive care alone. The quality of the clinical evidence was assessed using GRADE and varied very low to moderate quality.</p><p>The quality was downgraded due to lack of blinding in all trials, and inconsistency or imprecision for some outcomes. Although median length of hospital stay was reported by several studies but it was not possible to pool these results using meta-analysis.</p><p>An expert witness presented unpublished results of the CReST trial which provided expert evidence for the comparison of stenting followed by planned bowel resection or palliative care versus emergency surgery. This evidence was assessed using GRADE as moderate quality due to imprecision resulting from the sample size of the trial.</p></div><div id="ch11.s1.1.10.1.3"><h5>Benefits and harms</h5><p>The recommendations were based on evidence of reduced stoma rates in patients presenting with acute left-sided large bowel obstruction treated with stents compared with those receiving emergency surgery. There was no evidence of a difference in overall or disease-free survival. Potential harms of stenting included perforation, stent failure or failure to achieve technical success and these patients would then require surgery. The committee agreed that stenting was successful for most patients and so the benefits outweighed the harms. This balance was less clear cut for patients to be treated with curative intent who would go on to receive surgery at some point, and for this group the committee recommended both stenting and emergency surgery as options.</p><p>The committee also discussed that stenting allows time to fully assess the patient and stabilise any comorbidities before proceeding with further surgery.</p><p>The yet to be published results of the CReST trial were consistent with the published evidence and supported the recommendation for stenting as an option for those suitable for potentially curative resection.</p><p>Ideally, the decision about whether to offer stenting or emergency surgery should be taken after discussion with relevant specialists (for example colorectal specialist), however, their unavailability should not delay the timely treatment in an emergency situation.</p></div></div><div id="ch11.s1.1.10.2"><h5>Cost effectiveness and resource use</h5><p>A systematic review of the economic literature was conducted but no relevant studies were identified which were applicable to this review question.</p><p>These recommendations will lead to an increase in stenting as it is not currently established practice for patients with left-sided large bowel obstruction being treated with palliative intent.</p><p>It may also require that patients are transferred to other centres to receive stenting. Stenting however allows patients to be assessed and become stable before surgery reducing operative morbidity and preventing expensive surgery in those individuals where it would not be appropriate. Expert evidence from the CReST trial also highlighted there was a lower rate of stoma. All these would reduce downstream costs and improve quality of life.</p></div></div><div id="ch11.rl.r1"><h4>References</h4><ul class="simple-list"><li class="half_rhythm"><p><div class="bk_ref" id="ch11.s1.1.ref1"><p id="p-206">

<p>The methodological quality of each study will be assessed using an appropriate checklist:
<ul id="ch11.l56"><li id="ch11.lt156" class="half_rhythm"><div>ROBIS for systematic reviews</div></li><li id="ch11.lt157" class="half_rhythm"><div>Cochrane risk of bias tool for RCTs</div></li><li id="ch11.lt158" class="half_rhythm"><div>ROBINS-I for non-randomised studies</div></li></ul>
The quality of the evidence for an outcome (i.e. across studies) will be assessed using GRADE.</p>
<p>The risk of bias across all available evidence was evaluated for each outcome using an adaptation of the &#x02018;Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) toolbox&#x02019; developed by the international GRADE working group <a href="http://www.gradeworkinggroup.org/" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">http://www<wbr style="display:inline-block"></wbr>&#8203;.gradeworkinggroup.org/</a></p>

<b>Synthesis of data:</b>
</p>
<p>Pairwise meta-analysis of randomised trials will be conducted where appropriate.</p>
<p>When meta-analysing continuous data, final and change scores will be pooled if baselines are comparable. If any studies report both, the method used in the majority of studies will be analysed.</p>
<p><b>Minimally important differences</b>:</p>
<p>The guideline committee identified statistically significant differences as appropriate indicators for clinical significance for all outcomes except for quality of life for which published MIDs from literature will be used (see outcomes section for more information).</p>
