With an aging population, the utility of surgery in elderly patients, particularly octogenarians, is of increasing interest. The goal of this study was to analyze outcomes of octogenarians versus non-octogenarians undergoing paraesophageal hernia repair (PEHR).
The Nationwide Readmission Database was queried for patients > 18 years old who underwent PEHR from 2016 to 2018. Exclusion criteria included a diagnosis of gastrointestinal malignancy or a concurrent bariatric procedure. Patients ≥ 80 were compared to those 18-79 years old using standard statistical methods, and subgroup analyses of elective and non-elective PEHRs were performed.
From 2016 to 2018, 46,450 patients were identified with 5425 (11.7%) octogenarians and 41,025 (88.3%) non-octogenarians. Octogenarians were more likely to have a non-elective operation (46.3% vs 18.2%, p < 0.001), and those undergoing non-elective PEHR had a higher mortality (5.5% vs 1.2%, p < 0.001). Outcomes were improved with elective PEHR, but octogenarians still had higher mortality (1.3% vs 0.2%, p < 0.001), longer LOS (3[2, 5] vs 2[1, 3] days, p < 0.001), and higher readmission rates within 30 days (11.1% vs 6.5%, p < 0.001) compared to non-octogenarian elective patients. Multivariable logistic regression showed that being an octogenarian was not independently predictive of mortality (odds ratio (OR) 1.373[95% confidence interval 0.962-1.959], p = 0.081), but a non-elective operation was (OR 3.180[2.492-4.057], p < 0.001). Being an octogenarian was a risk factor for readmission within 30 days (OR 1.512[1.348-1.697], p < 0.001).
Octogenarians represented a substantial proportion of patients undergoing PEHR and were more likely to undergo a non-elective operation. Being an octogenarian was not an independent predictor of perioperative mortality, but a non-elective operation was. Octogenarians' morbidity and mortality was reduced in elective procedures but was still higher than non-octogenarians. Elective PEHR in octogenarians is reasonable but should involve a thorough risk-benefit analysis.
随着人口老龄化,手术在老年患者(尤其是 80 岁以上的患者)中的应用越来越受到关注。本研究的目的是分析 80 岁以上患者与非 80 岁以上患者行食管裂孔疝修补术(PEHR)的结局。
从 2016 年至 2018 年,全国再入院数据库中检索了 18 岁以上行 PEHR 的患者。排除标准包括胃肠道恶性肿瘤或同时行减重手术。80 岁以上患者与 18-79 岁患者比较采用标准统计学方法,对择期和非择期 PEHR 进行亚组分析。
2016 年至 2018 年,共纳入 46450 例患者,其中 5425 例(11.7%)为 80 岁以上患者,41025 例(88.3%)为 18-79 岁患者。80 岁以上患者更可能行非择期手术(46.3%比 18.2%,p<0.001),行非择期 PEHR 的患者死亡率更高(5.5%比 1.2%,p<0.001)。择期 PEHR 可改善结局,但 80 岁以上患者死亡率仍较高(1.3%比 0.2%,p<0.001),住院时间更长(3[2,5]比 2[1,3]天,p<0.001),30 天内再入院率更高(11.1%比 6.5%,p<0.001)。与非 80 岁以上择期患者相比。多变量逻辑回归显示,80 岁以上不是死亡率的独立预测因素(优势比(OR)1.373[95%置信区间 0.962-1.959],p=0.081),但非择期手术是(OR 3.180[2.492-4.057],p<0.001)。80 岁以上是 30 天内再入院的危险因素(OR 1.512[1.348-1.697],p<0.001)。
80 岁以上患者在接受 PEHR 的患者中占很大比例,更可能行非择期手术。80 岁以上不是围手术期死亡率的独立预测因素,但非择期手术是。择期手术可降低 80 岁以上患者的发病率和死亡率,但仍高于非 80 岁以上患者。80 岁以上患者行择期 PEHR 是合理的,但应进行彻底的风险-获益分析。
