Venous thromboembolism (VTE) can complicate major surgeries. This study examines the risk and outcomes of VTE in patients who underwent head and neck surgeries.
Retrospective cross-sectional analysis utilizing the Nationwide Readmissions Database (2010-2014). Study population included adults (≥18 year) patients who underwent head and neck surgeries.
A total 386 VTE patients and 116 450 controls included. VTE risk was 0.37%, postoperative mortality was 4.87%. Of VTE, 57.02% identified within the initial admission for surgery, while the rest required readmission within 90 days. VTE high-risk surgeries included: major ear/skull base surgeries, major nose/paranasal sinuses surgeries, major mouth/tonsil surgeries, major salivary glands/ducts surgeries, major maxillofacial bones/mandible surgeries, and major and nonmajor pharynx and larynx surgeries (P < .05). Those same surgeries were also associated with a high risk of readmission (P < .05).
VTE is associated with a significant mortality risk. Surgeries that involve the pharynx and larynx have the highest risk of VTE and readmission.
静脉血栓栓塞症(VTE)可使大手术出现并发症。本研究调查了接受头颈外科手术患者发生VTE的风险及后果。
利用全国再入院数据库(2010 - 2014年)进行回顾性横断面分析。研究人群包括接受头颈外科手术的成年(≥18岁)患者。
共纳入386例VTE患者和116450例对照。VTE风险为0.37%,术后死亡率为4.87%。在VTE患者中,57.02%在初次手术住院期间被确诊,其余患者在90天内需要再次入院。VTE高风险手术包括:耳部/颅底大手术、鼻/鼻窦大手术、口腔/扁桃体大手术、唾液腺/导管大手术、颌面骨/下颌骨大手术以及咽和喉的大手术与非大手术(P < 0.05)。这些手术也与再次入院的高风险相关(P < 0.05)。
VTE与显著的死亡风险相关。涉及咽和喉的手术发生VTE和再次入院的风险最高。
