We hypothesized that patients with acute mild gallstone pancreatitis (GSP) admitted to surgery (SUR; vs medicine [MED]) had a shorter time to surgery, shorter hospital length of stay (HLOS), and lower costs.
We performed chart reviews of patients who underwent a cholecystectomy for acute mild GSP from October 1, 2009 to May 31, 2013. We excluded patients with moderate to severe and non-gallstone pancreatitis. We compared outcomes for time to surgery, HLOS, costs, and complications between the 2 groups.
Fifty acute mild GSP patients were admitted to MED and 52 to SUR. MED patients were older and had more comorbidity. SUR patients had a shorter time to surgery (44 vs 80 hours; P < .001), a shorter HLOS (3 vs 5 days; P < .001), and lower hospital costs ($11,492 ± 6,480 vs $16,183 ± 12,145; P = .03). In our subgroup analysis on patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists score between 1 and 2, the subgroups were well matched; all outcomes still favored SUR patients.
Admitting acute mild GSP patients directly to SUR shortened the time to surgery, shortened HLOS, and lowered hospital costs.
我们推测,因急性轻症胆石性胰腺炎(GSP)而入院接受外科治疗(SUR组;与内科治疗[MED组]相比)的患者手术时间更短、住院时间(HLOS)更短且费用更低。
我们对2009年10月1日至2013年5月31日期间因急性轻症GSP接受胆囊切除术的患者病历进行了回顾。我们排除了中度至重度胰腺炎和非胆石性胰腺炎患者。我们比较了两组患者在手术时间、HLOS、费用和并发症方面的结果。
50例急性轻症GSP患者被收入MED组,52例被收入SUR组。MED组患者年龄更大且合并症更多。SUR组患者手术时间更短(44小时对80小时;P <.001),HLOS更短(3天对5天;P <.001),住院费用更低(11,492美元±6,480美元对16,183美元±12,145美元;P =.03)。在我们对美国麻醉医师协会评分为1至2分的患者进行的亚组分析中,亚组匹配良好;所有结果仍有利于SUR组患者。
将急性轻症GSP患者直接收入SUR组可缩短手术时间、缩短HLOS并降低住院费用。
