Abstract
BackgroundIncidence of, and potential risk factors for, postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (POGD) after gastrointestinal procedures performed in US hospitals were examined. MethodsThis retrospective study used hospital discharge data of inpatients who underwent ≥1 gastrointestinal procedures from 1-Jan-2016 to 30-Apr-2019. POGD incidence was calculated based on all hospitalizations for MDC-06 procedures. Predictors of POGD were assessed using multivariable logistic regression. ResultsPOGD incidence was 5.8% among 638 611 inpatient hospitalizations. Major bowel procedures, peritoneal adhesiolysis, and appendectomy were the most notable predictors of POGD among gastrointestinal procedures assessed (adjusted odds ratios [95% confidence intervals]: 2.71 [2.59–2.83], 2.48 [2.34–2.64], and 2.15 [2.03–2.27], respectively; all p < 0.05). Procedures performed by colorectal/gastroenterology specialists (0.86 [0.84–0.89]), and those performed percutaneously (0.55 [0.54–0.56]) were associated with significantly lower odds of POGD (both P < 0.05). ConclusionsFindings may help clinicians tailor management plans targeting patients at high-risk of POGD.
