Association of Comorbidities and Functional Level With Mortality in Geriatric Bowel Perforation
The Journal of surgical research(2023)
摘要
Introduction: Spontaneous bowel perforation is associated with high morbidity and mortality. This entity remains understudied in the geriatric patient. We sought to use a na-tional surgical sample to uncover independent predictors of mortality in elderly patients undergoing emergent operation for perforated bowel. Methods: Using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement database, years 2007 to 2017, all geriatric patients (age >= 65 y) who underwent emergency surgery and who had a postoperative diagnosis of bowel perforation were included. Univariate and multivariable analyses were used to identify independent predictors of 30-d mortality. Results: A total of 8981 patients were included. The median (interquartile range) age was 75 y (69, 82), and 59.0% were female. Twenty-one percent of patients were partially or totally dependent, and 25.2% were admitted from sources other than home. Overall, 30-d mortality rate was 22.1%. Independent predictors of mortality included the following: age 70-79 y (odds ratio [OR]: 1.59, P < 0.001), age >= 80 y (OR: 3.23, P < 0.001), American Society of Anesthesiologists >= 3 (OR: 4.74, P < 0.001), admission from chronic care facility (OR: 1.61, P < 0.001), being partially or totally dependent (OR: 1.50, P < 0.001), chronic steroid use (OR: 1.36, P < 0.001), and preoperative septic shock (OR: 3.74, P < 0.001). Having immediate fascial closure was protective against mortality (immediate fascial closure only, OR: 0.55, P < 0.001;-immediate closure of all surgical site layers, OR: 0.44, P < 0.001). Conclusions: In geriatric patients, functional status and chronic steroid therapy play an important role in determining survival following surgery for bowel perforation. These factors should be considered during preoperative counseling and decision-making. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
