Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare yet potentially fatal pharmacogenetic disorder triggered by exposure to inhaled anesthetics and the depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug succinylcholine. Epidemiologic research on MH is largely limited to inpatients. In this study, we examined the prevalence of recorded MH diagnosis in patients discharged from ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).
We analyzed the New York State Ambulatory Surgery Dataset for the years 2002 to 2011 and identified patients with a discharge diagnosis of MH due to anesthesia by using the International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification code 995.86. MH prevalence was assessed by demographic, clinical, and ASC characteristics.
During the study period, 31 of 17,092,765 discharges from ASCs had a recorded diagnosis of MH, yielding a prevalence of 0.18 per 100,000 discharges (95% confidence interval, 0.12-0.25). The prevalence of recorded MH diagnosis per discharge differed significantly across age groups and surgical procedure categories. All patients with a recorded diagnosis of MH were from hospital-based ASCs and were discharged alive from ASCs.
The prevalence of recorded MH diagnosis in ASC patients is approximately 1 per 500,000 and varies considerably with surgical procedures.
恶性高热(MH)是一种罕见但可能致命的药物遗传疾病,由吸入麻醉剂和去极化神经肌肉阻滞剂琥珀酰胆碱引发。关于恶性高热的流行病学研究主要局限于住院患者。在本研究中,我们调查了门诊手术中心(ASC)出院患者中记录的恶性高热诊断患病率。
我们分析了2002年至2011年纽约州门诊手术数据集,并使用国际疾病分类第九版临床修订本代码995.86识别因麻醉导致出院诊断为恶性高热的患者。通过人口统计学、临床和门诊手术中心特征评估恶性高热患病率。
在研究期间,门诊手术中心的17092765例出院病例中有31例记录了恶性高热诊断,患病率为每100000例出院病例中有0.18例(95%置信区间,0.12 - 0.25)。记录的每次出院恶性高热诊断患病率在不同年龄组和手术类别之间存在显著差异。所有记录有恶性高热诊断的患者均来自医院附属门诊手术中心,且从门诊手术中心出院时存活。
门诊手术中心患者记录的恶性高热诊断患病率约为每500000例中有1例,且因手术不同而有很大差异。
