Project description:PurposeHistorically, robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy is accompanied by an inpatient hospital admission. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a transition to same-day discharge robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy in some centers to free up critically needed inpatient beds. This study aims to compare complications, total health care costs, and patient satisfaction for same-day discharge vs inpatient robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy.Materials and methodsWe compared 392 consecutive robotic-assisted radical prostatectomies performed as same-day discharge (n = 206) vs inpatient (n = 186) from February 2020 to November 2022 at 2 academic medical centers. We utilized propensity score analysis to assess the impact of same-day discharge vs inpatient robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy on 30-day complications (primary outcome). Time-driven activity-based costing analysis was applied to compare total costs of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy care, and we administered a validated Patient Satisfaction Outcome Questionnaire to compare satisfaction scores.ResultsInpatient robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy patients were more likely to be older, self-reported Black race or Hispanic ethnicity, and have higher American Society of Anesthesiologists classification. Complication rates were nonsignificantly lower for same-day discharge vs inpatient robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (OR 0.87, 95% CI 0.35 to 2.21; P = .8). Same-day discharge vs inpatient robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy demonstrated a $2106 (19%) overall cost reduction. Median satisfaction survey scores were similar, and a clinically significant difference can be excluded.ConclusionsSame-day discharge robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy is cost-effective and should be the preferred approach in appropriately selected patients.

Project description:IntroductionWe aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of implementing a sameday discharge (SD ) protocol for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and pelvic lymph node dissection.MethodsWe performed a prospective cohort study including all consecutive eligible patients undergoing RARP in 2021 following initiation of SDD RARP protocol in April. Baseline characteristics were compared using t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and odds ratios (OR ) calculated using multiple logistic regression to assess for predictors of SD success.ResultsA total of 117 patients underwent RARP in 2021 following initiation of the SDD protocol. Fifty-seven patients were initiated on the SD pathway and 60 patients underwent surgery as an inpatient (IP-RARP). Of those on the SD pathway (SD-RARP), 33 (58%) were successfully discharged the same day of surgery, while 24 (42%) failed SD . Baseline demographics were well-balanced between cohorts. Case order, increased patient age, and distance travelled to the hospital were factors associated with selection of patients for the IP-RARP protocol. In total, 12 SD and 12 IP patients presented to the emergency department (p=1.0), and none within 24 hours of discharge. There were no hospital admissions in the SD cohort, with four readmissions in the IP cohort (p=0.1). Multiple logistic regression revealed that case order (first case) was the only predictive factor for SD success (OR 4.08, 95% confidence interval 1.59-11.62, p=0.005).ConclusionsImplementation of an SD pathway following RARP is feasible, with no increase in rates of complications, unscheduled visits, or readmissions.

Project description:BackgroundUpper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is the malignant transformation of urothelial cells, from the renal calyces to the ureteral orifices. While the benefits of minimally invasive nephroureterectomy over their open counterpart have been established, the optimal technique remains a debate. We aimed to assess current evidence in the literature and compare outcomes between robotic-assisted (RANU) and laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNU).MethodsA systematic review of the literature was performed for studies comparing RANU and LNU for bladder cancer. Outcome measurements were recurrence rates (local and distal), positive margins, positive lymph node yield and perioperative outcomes. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.ResultsOur results demonstrate a significantly higher mortality rate in patients undergoing laparoscopic nephroureterectomy when compared with the robotic-assisted approach for the treatment of UTUC (1.8% vs. 1.1%, p = 0.008); however, these results were inconsistent on sensitivity analysis and should therefore be interpreted with caution. No significant difference was observed for other outcomes.ConclusionThe ideal approach to minimally invasive radical nephroureterectomy remains undetermined. Future research, ideally prospective randomised studies, should focus on long-term outcomes, in particular recurrence, recurrence-free survival, overall survival and the correlation between surgical technique and survival.

Project description:BackgroundIn January 2020, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approved total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to be performed in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). This study aims to develop a predictive model for targeting appropriate patients for ASC-based TKA.MethodsA retrospective review of 2266 patients (205 same-day discharge [SDD; 9.0%] and 2061 one-day length of stay [91.0%]) undergoing TKA at a regional medical center between July 2016 and September 2020 was conducted. Multiple logistic regression was used to evaluate predictors of SDD, as these patients represent those most likely to safely undergo TKA in an ASC.ResultsControlling for other demographics and comorbidities, patients with the following characteristics were at reduced odds of SDD: increased age (odds ratio [OR] = 0.935, P < .001), body mass index ≥35 (OR = 0.491, P = .002), female (OR = 0.535, P < .001), nonwhite race (OR = 0.456, P = .003), primary hypertension (OR = 0.710, P = .032), ≥3 comorbidities (OR = 0.507, P = .002), American Society of Anesthesiologists score ≥3 (OR = 0.378, P < .001). The model was deemed to be of adequate fit using the Hosmer and Lemeshow test (χ2 = 12.437, P = .112), and the area under the curve was found to be 0.773 indicating acceptable discrimination.ConclusionFor patients undergoing primary TKA, increased age, body mass index ≥35, female gender, nonwhite race, primary hypertension, ≥3 comorbidities, and American Society of Anesthesiologists score ≥3 decrease the likelihood of SDD. A predictive model based on readily available patient presentation and comorbidity characteristics may aid surgeons in identifying patients that are candidates for SDD or ASC-based TKA.

Project description:IntroductionSame-day discharge (SDD) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been shown to be feasible and safe. In order to improve uptake of this ambulatory model in Canada, we aimed to update our experience of SDD after RARP and identify reasons for SDD pathway non-initiation and failure in a universal healthcare system.MethodsA review of our prospectively collected database of patients undergoing RARP at a Canadian tertiary academic center from May 2021 to May 2023 was conducted. Binary logistic regression analysis determined predictors SDD pathway non-initiation and failure.ResultsWe identified 387 patients, of which 198 were initiated on the SDD pathway. Of those initiated, 104 (52.5%) were successfully discharged home on the same day. Patients who travelled distances greater than 100 km, or who had non-CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure)-compliant obstructive sleep apnea were significantly less likely to be initiated on the SDD pathway (both p<0.05). Patients who were scheduled to be the second case or later had an estimated blood loss ≥300 mL, or had a postoperative abdominal drain, were predictive of failing SDD after initiation (all p<0.05). There were similar rates of readmissions, unscheduled office visits, and emergency department presentations, when compared to the traditional inpatient model (all p>0.05).ConclusionsSDD after RARP in a Canadian healthcare system remains feasible and safe for selected patients. Predictors of failed SDD identified in this study inform the development of future ambulatory protocols and highlight areas of need in infrastructure to increase uptake of these outpatient pathways.

Project description:Background To manage overcrowding and bed shortages in Canadian hospitals, same-day discharge (SDD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has emerged as a solution to improve resource utilization. However, limited information exists regarding current trends, hospital variation, and safety of SDD PCI in Canada. Methods and Results We evaluated outpatients undergoing elective PCI in Ontario, Canada, from October 2008 to March 2016. SDD was defined when patients were discharged on the day of PCI, and non-SDD was defined as those patients who had 1 overnight stay. The primary outcome was 30-day all-cause death or hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome. Inverse probability of treatment weighting with propensity score was used to account for differences in baseline and clinical characteristics between SDD and non-SDD groups. Among 35 972 patients who underwent elective PCI at 17 PCI centers in Ontario, 10 801 patients (30%) had SDD PCI and 25 121 patients (70%) had non-SDD PCI. Substantial hospital variation for SDD PCI was observed, ranging from 0% to 87% during the study period. In the propensity-weighted cohort, SDD patients had no significant difference in 30-day rates of death or hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome (1.3% versus 1.6%; hazard ratio: 0.84 [95% CI, 0.65-1.08]; P=0.17) compared with non-SDD patients. SDD and non-SDD patients also had no significant difference in 30-day rates of mortality or coronary revascularization. Conclusions In this large population-based cohort of elective PCI patients, we demonstrated the safety of SDD PCI. Increased adoption of this strategy could lead to improved bed-flow efficiency and substantial savings for the Canadian healthcare system without comprising outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic caused a surge of same-day discharge (SDD) for total joint arthroplasty. However, SDD may not be beneficial for all patients. Therefore, continued investigation into the safety of SDD is necessary as well as risk stratification for improved patient outcomes.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study examined 31,851 elective SDD hip and knee arthroplasties from 2016 to 2020 in a large national database. Logistic regression models were used to identify patient variables and preoperative comorbidities that contribute to postoperative complication or readmission with SDD. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.ResultsSDD increased from 1.4% in 2016 to 14.6% in 2020. SDD is associated with lower odds of readmission (AOR: 0.994, CI: 0.992-0.996) and postoperative complications (AOR: 0.998, CI: 0.997-1.000). Patients who have preoperative dyspnea (AOR: 1.03, CI: 1.02-1.04, P < .001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AOR: 1.02, CI: 1.01-1.03, P = .002), and hypoalbuminemia (AOR: 1.02, CI: 1.00-1.03, P < .001), had higher odds of postoperative complications. Patients who had preoperative dyspnea (AOR: 1.02, CI: 1.01-1.03), hypertension (AOR: 1.01, CI: 1.01-1.03, P = .003), chronic corticosteroid use (AOR: 1.02, CI: 1.01-1.03, P < .001), bleeding disorder (AOR: 1.02; CI: 1.01-1.03, P < .001), and hypoalbuminemia (AOR: 1.01, CI: 1.00-1.02, P = .038), had higher odds of readmission.ConclusionSDD is safe with certain comorbidities. Preoperative screening for cardiopulmonary comorbidities (eg, dyspnea, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), chronic corticosteroid use, bleeding disorder, and hypoalbuminemia may improve SDD outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundJoint replacement procedures have traditionally been performed in an inpatient setting to minimize complication rates. There is growing evidence that total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) can safely be performed as an outpatient procedure, with the potential benefits of decreased health care expenses and improved patient satisfaction. Prior studies have not reliably made a distinction between outpatient TAA defined as length of stay <1 day and same-day discharge. The purpose of our study was to compare a large volume of same-day discharge and inpatient TAA for safety and efficacy.MethodsPatients undergoing TAA at our US-based institution are part of an institutional review board-approved registry. We queried the registry for TAA performed by the single highest-volume surgeon at our institution between May 2020 and March 2022. Same-day discharge TAA was defined as discharge on the day of the procedure. Patient demographics, baseline clinical variables, concomitant procedures, postoperative complications, and patient-reported outcomes were collected. Postoperative outcomes were compared after 1:1 nearest-neighbor matching by age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score. Multivariable models were created for comparison with the matched cohort outcome comparison analysis.ResultsOur same-day discharge group was younger (median 58 vs 67 years; P < .001), with proportionally fewer females (36.4% vs 51.4%; P = .044) and lower Charlson Comorbidity Indices (median 1 vs 3; P < .001) than the inpatient group. At a median follow-up of 1 year, after matching by age, sex, CCI, and ASA score, there was no difference in complications (P = .788), reoperations (P = .999), revisions (P = .118), or Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores between the 2 groups. Multivariable analyses performed demonstrated no evidence of association between undergoing same-day discharge TAA vs inpatient TAA and reoperation, revision, complication, or 1-year PROMIS scores (P > .05).ConclusionIn our system of health care, with appropriate patient selection, same-day discharge following TAA can be a safe alternative to inpatient TAA.Level of evidenceLevel III, retrospective cohort study.

Project description:BackgroundThere has been increasing interest in performing primary hip and knee replacement with same-day discharge (SDD). The purpose of this study is to compare patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores, pain scores, and readmissions in patients who underwent SDD total hip arthroplasty (THA) with those in patients who underwent traditional inpatient THA.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on 963 patients who underwent primary THA at our institution between September 2016 and December 2018. Two cohorts were established based on whether the patient underwent SDD or traditional inpatient THA. An electronic physical engagement application was used to collect PRO scores (Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement, Veterans Rand 12-Item Health Survey Physical Component Score, and Mental Component Score) and pain scores. To control for demographic variables, a multiple regression analysis of PRO scores was conducted.ResultsFour hundred fifteen (43.1%) patients in this study underwent the SDD protocol. There were significant differences between both cohorts with respect to sex, age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, and smoking status. The bivariate analysis revealed that the SDD cohort had a significantly greater change in the Veterans Rand 12-Item Health Survey Physical Component Score and had fewer readmissions. Both cohorts had equivalent decreases in pain scores. After controlling for demographic variables in a multivariable analysis, the SDD cohort was found to have higher PRO scores at all time points, but there were no significant differences in the change in PRO scores over time between both groups.ConclusionPatients in an SDD THA care pathway experienced similar improvements in PRO scores and clinically equal reduction in pain scores.

Project description:BackgroundThis study sought to investigate the safety and feasibility of same day discharge (SDD) practice and compare clinical outcomes to patients admitted for overnight stay (ON) undergoing elective left main stem (LMS) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). ON observation is still widely practiced in highly complex PCI as the standard of care, with no previous data comparing clinical outcomes in patients undergoing LMS PCI.MethodsWe analysed 6452 patients undergoing elective LMS PCI between 2007 and 2014 in England and Wales. Multiple logistic regressions and the BCIS risk model were used to study association between SDD and 30 day mortality.ResultsSDD rates almost doubled from 19.9% in 2007 to 39.8% in 2014 for all LMS procedures and increased from 20.7% to 41.4% for unprotected LMS cases during the same study period. There was a significant increase in procedural complexity with higher use of rotational atherectomy, longer stents and multivessel PCI. SDD was not associated with increased 30 day mortality (OR 0.70 95%CI 0.30-1.65) in the overall LMS PCI cohort and the results were similar in unprotected LMS (OR 0.48 95%CI 0.17-1.41) and those requiring ON stay (OR 0.58 95%CI 0.25-1.34).ConclusionsWe did not find evidence that SDD is not safe or feasible in highly complex LMS PCI procedures despite increasing procedural complexity with no significant increase in 30 day mortality rates.
