Kim DK, Ascherman JA. Impact of Sociodemographic and Hospital Factors on Inpatient Bilateral Reduction Mammaplasty: A National Inpatient Sample Analysis. PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY-GLOBAL OPEN 2024; 12:e5682. [PMID: 38525492 PMCID: PMC10959567 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000005682] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
Background Although reduction mammaplasty remains a common procedure in plastic surgery, its interaction with sociodemographic and economic disparities has remained relatively uncharacterized on a nationwide scale. Methods Patients who underwent reduction mammaplasty were identified within the 2016-2018 National Inpatient Sample databases. In addition to clinical comorbidities, sociodemographic characteristics, hospital-level variables, and postoperative outcomes of each patient were collected for analysis. Statistical analyses, including univariate comparison and multivariate logistic regression, were applied to the cohort to determine significant predictors of adverse outcomes, described as extended length of stay, higher financial cost, and postoperative complications. Results The final patient cohort included 414 patients who underwent inpatient reduction mammaplasty. The average age was 45.2 ± 14.5 years. The average length of stay was 1.6 ± 1.5 days, and the average hospital charge was $53,873.81 ± $36,014.50. Sixty (14.5%) patients experienced at least one postoperative complication. Black race and treatment within a nonmetropolitan or rural county predicted postoperative complications (P < 0.01). Black race, lower relative income, and concurrent abdominal contouring procedures also predicted occurrence of extended length of stay (P < 0.01). Hospital factors, including larger bed capacity and for-profit ownership, predicted high hospital charges (P < 0.05). Severity of comorbidities, measured by a clinical index, also predicted all three outcomes (P < 0.001). Conclusion In addition to well-described clinical variables, multiple sociodemographic and economic disparities affect outcomes in inpatient reduction mammaplasty.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Concurrent psychiatric diagnoses adversely impact outcomes in surgical patients, but their relationship to patients with rib fracture after trauma is less understood. We hypothesized that psychiatric comorbidity would be associated with increases in hospital length of stay (LOS) and mortality risk after rib fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS The 2017 National Inpatient Sample was queried for adult patients who were admitted with rib fracture after trauma. Mental health disorders were categorized into 34 psychiatric diagnosis groups (PDGs) using clinical classifications software refined for International Classification of Diseases-10. Outcomes of interest were LOS and mortality. Bivariable analysis determined associations between PDGs, patient demographics, hospital characteristics, and outcomes. Logistic regression was performed to identify adjusted effects on mortality, and linear regression was performed to identify effects on LOS. RESULTS Of 32,801 patients, median age was 61 y (IQR 46-76), and median LOS was 5 d (IQR 3-9). No PDGs were associated with increased odds of mortality. Concurrent diagnosis of schizophrenia spectrum (Coeff. 3.5, 95% CI 2.7-4.4, P < 0.001) or trauma- or stressor-related (Coeff. 1.6, 95% CI 0.9-2.5, P < 0.001) disorders demonstrated the greatest association with prolonged LOS. Increased odds of death and prolonged hospital stay were also associated with male sex, non-White patient race, and surgery occurring at urban and public hospitals. CONCLUSIONS Psychiatric comorbidities are associated with death after rib fracture but are associated with increased LOS. These findings may help promote multidisciplinary patient management in trauma.

Efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid for patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with intramedullary fixation: A systematic review and meta-analysis of current evidence in randomized controlled trials. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:945971. [PMID: 36199695 PMCID: PMC9528975 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.945971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been widely applied to reduce perioperative bleeding. Recently, several studies focused on the administration of TXA in the treatment for with intertrochanteric fracture patients treated with intramedullary fixation. However, the efficacy and safety of TXA in these studies remain controversial. Therefore, we performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of TXA in intertrochanteric fracture patients treated with intramedullary fixation.Methods: We systematically searched electronic databases, including Cochrane, PubMed, and EMBASE, up to 16 May 2022. The efficacy and safety of TXA was evaluated in four aspects, which were bleeding-related outcomes, non-bleeding-related outcomes, thromboembolic events, and other complications. The outcomes of these studies were extracted and analyzed by RevMan Manager 5.4.Results: Finally, nine randomized controlled trials, involving nine hundred and seventy-two intertrochanteric fracture patients treated with TXA, were enrolled in this study. In the bleeding-related outcomes, TXA group was significantly lower than the control group in terms of total blood loss (MD = −219.42; 95% CI, −299.80 to −139.03; p < 0.001), intraoperative blood loss (MD = −36.81; 95% CI, −54.21 to −19.41; p < 0.001), hidden blood loss (MD = −189.23; 95% CI, −274.92 to −103.54; p < 0.001), and transfusion rate (RR = 0.64; 95% CI, 0.49 to 0.85; p = 0.002). Moreover, the postoperative hemoglobin on day 3 of the TXA group was significantly higher than that of the control group (MD = 5.75; 95% CI, 1.26 to 10.23; p = 0.01). In the non-bleeding-related outcomes, the length of hospital stays was significantly shorter in the TXA group (MD = −0.67; 95% CI, −1.12 to −0.23; p = 0.003). In terms of thromboembolic events, there was no significant differences between the TXA group and control group in deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke. As for complications and mortality, there was no significant differences between the TXA group and control group in respiratory infection, renal failure, and postoperative mortality within 1 year.Conclusion: TXA is an effective and safe drug for perioperative bleeding control in intertrochanteric fracture patients treated with intramedullary fixation. However, the long-term efficacy of TXA still needs to be investigated by large-scale multicenter randomized controlled trials.Level of evidence: II, Systematic review and Meta-analysis.Systematic Review Registration:https://inplasy.com/, identifier [INPLASY202280027]

Influence of comorbidity on postoperative course and mortality in patients with hip fracture. SRP ARK CELOK LEK 2022. [DOI: 10.2298/sarh211229052p] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction/Objective. Epidemiological research shows that we have a
dramatic increase in the number of people with hip fractures, especially
those over 65 years of age. The main objectives of this study are to assess
the association between preoperative comorbidity and the risk of
postoperative complications and mortality and postoperative worsening of
comorbid conditions and their relationship to mortality within one year of
hip fracture surgery. Methods. In the period from January 2018. until
January 2020. in a retrospective study, at the Department of Orthopedic
Surgery in Kosovska Mitrovica, we operated 64 patients with hip fractures.
We monitored the number of comorbidities and their significance on the
preoperative risk and the course of concomitant diseases in the
postoperative period and one - year mortality from surgery, in patients with
hip fractures. Results. We collected data on patients from the moment of
admission to discharge from the hospital accompanied by medical histories,
and after discharge after follow-up examinations, six months and one year
from discharge. Of the total number of subjects, 23 (35.9%) had one or two
comorbidities, most often of cardiac and neurological nature, in 25 patients
(39.1%) we had three concomitant diseases, and in 11 (17.2%) four and more
comorbidities. The mean age of the patients was 72.51 years (69-92 years).
Conclusion. Approximately 45-60% of men and women who suffer a hip fracture
have three or more comorbid states. In older people with hip fractures, the
presence of three or more comorbidities is the strongest preoperative risk
factor.
