Project description:BackgroundPostoperative complications after major gastrointestinal surgery are a major contributor to hospital costs. Thus, reducing postoperative complications is a key target for cost-containment strategies. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between postoperative complications and hospital costs following small bowel resection.MethodsPostoperative complications were recorded for 284 adult patients undergoing major small bowel resection surgery between January 2013 and June 2018. Complications were defined and graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system. In-hospital cost of index admission was calculated using an activity-based costing methodology; it was reported in US dollars at 2019 rates. Regression modeling was used to investigate the relationships among a priori selected perioperative variables, complications, and costs.FindingsThe overall complication prevalence was 81.6% (95% CI: 85.7-77.5). Most complications (69%) were minor, but 22.9% of patients developed a severe complication (Clavien-Dindo grades III or IV). The unadjusted median total hospital cost for patients with any complication was 70% higher than patients without complications (median [IQR] USD 19,659.64 [13,545.81-35,407.14] vs. 11,551.88 [8,849.46-15,329.87], P < 0.001). The development of 1, 2, 3, and ≥ 4 complications increased hospital costs by 11%, 41%, 50%, and 195%, respectively. Similarly, more severe complications incurred higher hospital costs (P < 0.001). After adjustments were made (for the Charlson Comorbidity Index, anemia, surgical urgency and technique, intraoperative fluid administration, blood transfusion, and hospital readmissions), a greater number and increased severity of complications were associated with a higher adjusted median hospital cost. Patients who experienced complications had an adjusted additional median cost of USD 4,187.10 (95% CI: 1,264.89-7,109.31, P = 0.005) compared to those without complications.ConclusionsPostoperative complications are a key target for cost-containment strategies. Our findings demonstrate a high prevalence of postoperative complications following small bowel resection surgery and quantify their associated increase in hospital costs.Trial registrationAustralian Clinical Trials Registration number: 12620000322932.

Project description:Background:Colonic resection is a common surgical procedure associated with a high rate of postoperative complications. The aim of this observational study is to estimate the in-hospital costs of complications and to identify perioperative variables associated with complication development following colon resection surgery. Materials and methods:We conducted a single-centre cohort study with retrospective data collection of 487 patients undergoing colonic resection surgery between 2013 and 2018. Postoperative complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system. In-hospital cost of index admission is reported in 2019 United States Dollars. Regression modelling was used to investigate the relationship of a priori selected perioperative variables and presence of complications and costs. Results:Overall complication prevalence was 69.6% (95%CI:65.5%-73.7%). Median [interquartile range] cost of patients with postoperative complications was significantly increased as compared to patients without complications ($17,963 [13,533:25,178] vs $12,578 [10,196:16,140]; p < 0.0001). Clavien-Dindo Grade I, II, III and IV complications increased costs by 15.8%, 36.8%, 169.4% and 240.1% respectively (p < 0.0001). Presence of complications was significantly associated with Charlson Comorbidity Index (Odds ratio (OR) per 1-unit increase: 1.09; 95%CI:1.02 to 1.17), preoperative albumin levels (OR per 1-unit increase: 0.94; 95%CI:0.90 to 0.98) and open as compared to laparoscopic resection (OR: 2.41; 95%CI:1.32 to 4.42). Conclusions:There is a high prevalence of complications following colonic resection surgery. Postoperative complications, including minor complications (Clavien-Dindo Grade I-II), were associated with a significant increase in hospital costs and are a key target for cost containment strategies.

The procedures were performed at the Austin Hospital, a tertiary hospital with colorectal expertise, over the period of January 2013 and June 2018. Patients were followed-up for 30 days following discharge from the index admission. If no subsequent readmissions occurred within this period, follow-up ceased. If a patient was readmitted within the 30-day period, then the readmission was included, and following discharge from the readmission or end of the original 30-day period, whichever was later, follow-up ceased.
Primary outcome(s): Costs of complications as a composite outcome defined as cost of patients with complications less the cost of patients without complications (i.e. by comparison of patients with and without complications).
All costs related to the index admission for rectal resection and any consequent readmissions are included. Costs related to preoperative course are not considered. Allocation of costs will be done based on service volume, and costs calculated using an activity-based costing methodology. Only in-hospital costs are considered, with both direct and indirect costs assessed to produce a total cost for each patient. Costs for each patient will be obtained from the Austin Health Department of Finance, which maintain an itemised prospective database of all hospital expenses related to each patient.[Costs will be calculated from day of surgery to hospital discharge. Readmissions are considered within 30 days of discharge from the index admission.]

Project description:BackgroundThe epidemiology and payer costs for ankle fractures are not well documented. This study evaluated: (1) the incidence of ankle fracture and ankle surgery following fracture in the US population; and (2) the clinical presentation of patients presenting with ankle fractures requiring surgery, their complication rates, and payer costs.MethodsPatients in the IBM® MarketScan® Commercial and Medicare Supplemental databases with an inpatient/outpatient diagnosis of ankle fracture from 2016 to 2019 were stratified by age group and gender, and rates of fracture per 10,000 enrollees were estimated. Surgically-treated patients between January 2016 - October 2021 were further analyzed. One-year post-surgical outcomes evaluated complication rates (e.g., infection, residual pain), reoperations, and 1-year payments. Standard descriptive statistics were calculated for all variables and outcomes. Generalized linear models were designed to estimate payments for surgical care and incremental payments associated with postoperative complications.ResultsFracture cases affected 0.14% of the population; 23.4% of fractures required surgery. Pediatric and elderly patients were at increased risk. From 3 weeks to 12 months following index ankle surgery, 5.5% (5.3% - 5.7%) of commercially insured and 5.9% (5.1% - 6.8%) of Medicare patients required a new surgery. Infection was observed in 4.4% (4.2% - 4.6%) commercially insured and 9.8% (8.8% - 10.9%) Medicare patients, and residual pain 3 months post-surgery was observed in 29.5% (28.7% - 30.3%) commercially-insured and 39.3% (36.0% - 42.6%) Medicare patients. Commercial payments for index surgery ranged from $9,821 (95% CI: $9,697 - $9,945) in the ambulatory surgical center to $28,169 (95% CI: $27,780 - $28,559) in the hospital inpatient setting, and from $16,775 (95% CI: $16,668 - $16,882) in patients with closed fractures, to $41,206 (95% CI: $38,795 - $43,617) in patients with Gustilo III fractures. Incremental commercial payments for pain and infection averaged $5,200 (95% CI: $4,261 - $6,139) and $27,510 (95% CI: $21,759 - $33,261), respectively.ConclusionAnkle fracture has a high incidence and complication rate. Residual pain affects more than one-third of all patients. Ankle fracture thus presents a significant societal impact in terms of patient outcomes and payer burden.

Project description:PurposeThis study examined postoperative heart failure (HF) and respiratory failure (RF) complications and related healthcare utilization for one year following cardiac surgery.MethodsThis study identified adult patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and/or valve procedures from the Cerner Health Facts® database. It included patients experiencing postoperative HF or RF complications. We quantified healthcare utilization using the frequency of inpatient admissions, emergency department (ED) visits with or without hospital admission, and outpatient visits. We then determined direct hospital costs from the determined healthcare utilization. We analyzed trends over time for both HF and RF and evaluated the association between surgery type and HF complication.ResultsOf 10,298 patients with HF complications, 1,714 patients (16.6%) developed persistent HF; of the 10,385 RF patients, 175 (1.7%) developed persistent RF. Healthcare utilization for those with persistent complications over the one-year period following index hospital discharge comprised an average number of the following visit types: Inpatient (1.49 HF; 1.55 RF), Outpatient (2.02, 0.51), ED without hospital admission (0.33, 0.13), ED + Inpatient (0.08, 0.06). Per patient annual costs related to persistent complications of HF and RF were $20,857 and $30,745, respectively. There was a significant association between cardiac surgical type and the incidence of HF, with risk for isolated valve procedures (adjusted OR 2.60; 95% CI: 2.35-2.88) and CABG + valve procedures (adjusted OR 2.38; 95% CI: 2.17-2.61) exceeding risk for isolated CABG procedures.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that HF and RF complication rates post cardiac surgery are substantial, and complication-related healthcare utilization over the first year following surgery results in significant incremental costs. Given the need for both payers and providers to focus on healthcare cost reduction, this study fills an important gap in quantifying the mid-term economic impact of postoperative cardiac surgical complications.

Project description:ObjectiveTo identify factors that account for variation in complication rates across hospitals and surgeons performing lumbar spinal fusion surgery.Data sourcesDischarge registry including all nonfederal hospitals in Washington State from 2004 to 2007.Study designWe identified adults (n = 6,091) undergoing an initial inpatient lumbar fusion for degenerative conditions. We identified whether each patient had a subsequent complication within 90 days. Logistic regression models with hospital and surgeon random effects were used to examine complications, controlling for patient characteristics and comorbidity.Principal findingsComplications within 90 days of a fusion occurred in 4.8 percent of patients, and 2.2 percent had a reoperation. Hospital effects accounted for 8.8 percent of the total variability, and surgeon effects account for 14.4 percent. Surgeon factors account for 54.5 percent of the variation in hospital reoperation rates, and 47.2 percent of the variation in hospital complication rates. The discretionary use of operative features, such as the inclusion of bone morphogenetic proteins, accounted for 30 and 50 percent of the variation in surgeons' reoperation and complication rates, respectively.ConclusionsTo improve the safety of lumbar spinal fusion surgery, quality improvement efforts that focus on surgeons' discretionary use of operative techniques may be more effective than those that target hospitals.

Project description:Laryngeal complications (LCs) following cardiac operations contribute to increased morbidity and resource utilization. Using a nationally representative cohort of cardiac surgical patients, we characterized the incidence of LC as well as its associated clinical and financial outcomes. All adults undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valvular operations were identified using the 2010-2017 Nationwide Readmissions Database. International Classification of Diseases 9th and 10th Revision diagnosis codes were used to identify LC. Trends were analyzed using a rank-based, non-parametric test (nptrend). Multivariable linear and logistic regressions were used to evaluate risk factors for LC, and its impact on mortality, complications, resource use and 30-day non-elective readmissions. Of an estimated 2,319,628 patients, 1.7% were diagnosed with perioperative LC, with rising incidence from 1.5% in 2010 to 1.8% in 2017 (nptrend < 0.001). After adjustment, female sex [adjusted odds ratio 1.08, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-1.12], advancing age, and multi-valve procedures (1.51, 95% CI 1.36-1.67, reference: isolated CABG) were associated with increased odds of LC. Despite no risk-adjusted effect on mortality, LC was associated with increased odds of pneumonia (2.88, 95% CI 2.72-3.04), tracheostomy (4.84, 95% CI 4.44-5.26), and readmission (1.32, 95% CI 1.26-1.39). In addition, LC was associated with a 7.7-day increment (95% CI 7.4-8.0) in hospitalization duration and $24,200 (95% CI 23,000-25,400) in attributable costs. The present study found LC to be associated with increased perioperative sequelae and resource utilization. The development and application of active screening protocols for post-surgical LC are warranted to increase early detection and reduce associated morbidity.

Project description:Case-control study.To determine the incidence, impact, and risk factors for wound complications within 30 days following elective adult spinal deformity surgery.Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Edition, diagnosis codes were used to query the database for adults who underwent spinal deformity surgery from 2010 to 2014. Patients were separated into groups of those with and without wound complications. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the influence of patient factors, operative variables, and clinical characteristics on the incidence of postoperative wound complication. This study was qualified as exempt by the Mount Sinai Hospital Institutional Review Board.A total of 5803 patients met the criteria for this study. Wound complications occurred in 140 patients (2.4%) and were significantly associated with other adverse outcomes, including higher rates of unplanned reoperation (P < .0001) and prolonged length of stay (P < .0001). Regardless of fusion length, wound complication rates were higher with a posterior approach (short = 2.7%; long = 3.7%) than an anterior one (short = 2.2%; long = 2.7). According to the multivariate analysis, posterior fusion (odds ratio [OR] = 1.8; P = .010), obese class II (OR = 1.7; P = .046), obese class III (OR = 2.8; P < .0001), preoperative blood transfusion (OR = 6.1; P = .021), American Society of Anesthesiologists class ≥3 (OR = 1.7; P = .009), and operative time >4 hours (OR = 1.8; P = .006) were statistically significant risk factors for wound complications.The 30-day incidence of wound complication in adult spinal deformity surgery is 2.4%. The risk factors for wound complication are multifactorial. This data should provide a step toward developing quality improvement measures aimed at reducing complications in high-risk adults.
