Identifying Patients Eligible for a Short Hospital Stay After Stoma Closure.
Journal of Investigative Surgery : the Official Journal of the Academy of Surgical Research 2018 June
INTRODUCTION: The implementation of enhanced recovery programmes after elective colorectal surgery has dramatically reduced the length of stay. The objective of this study was to assess the selection of good candidates for short post-operative stay (GCSS) in the context of stoma closure.
METHODS: Between January 2011 and December 2014, 222 patients were included in the present retrospective, single-center study. The primary endpoint was the proportion of GCSS. We also identified factors associated with GCSS status and built a predictive score.
RESULTS: The study population was predominantly male (n = 122, 55%). 60% of the patients had undergone ileostomy and 85% had undergone hand-sewn anastomosis. The postoperative ileus rate was 5% and the readmission rate was 3.5%. 41% (n = 92) of the study population were considered to be GCSS. In a multivariate analysis, age under 50 (odds ratio (OR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] = 2.8 [1.2-5.6], p = 0.008), the absence of vascular comorbidities (OR [95%CI] = 3.2 [1.3-12.3]; p = 0.006) and stapled anastomosis (OR: 4.2, 95%CI: 1.1-17.3, p = 0.03) were associated with GCSS status. Predictive scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 were associated with GCSS rates of 20%, 18%, 44%, and 62%, respectively (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: In the context of stoma closure, 41% of patients were GCSS.
