Background:
Patients with IBD are challenging to manage perioperatively because of disease complexity and multiple comorbidities.
Objective:
To identify whether preoperative factors and operation type were associated with extended postoperative length of stay after IBD-related surgery, defined by 75th percentile or greater (n = 926; 30.8%).
Design:
This was a cross-sectional study based on a retrospective multicenter database.
Setting:
The National Surgery Quality Improvement Program-Inflammatory Bowel Disease Collaborative captured data from 15 high-volume sites.
Patients:
A total of 3008 patients with IBD (1710 with Crohn's disease and 1291 with ulcerative colitis) with a median postoperative length of stay of 4 days (interquartile range, 3-7) from March 2017 to February 2020.
Main Outcome Measures:
The primary outcome was extended postoperative length of stay.
Results:
On multivariable logistic regression, increased odds of extended postoperative length of stay were associated with multiple demographic and clinical factors (model p < 0.001, area under receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.85). Clinically significant contributors that increased postoperative length of stay were rectal surgery (vs colon; OR, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.52-2.98), new ileostomy (vs no ileostomy; OR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.15-1.97), preoperative hospitalization (OR, 13.45; 95% CI, 10.15-17.84), non-home discharge (OR, 4.78; 95% CI, 2.27-10.08), hypoalbuminemia (OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.27-2.18), and bleeding disorder (OR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.22-4.82).
Limitations:
Retrospective review of only high-volume centers.
Conclusions:
Patients with IBD who were preoperatively hospitalized, who had non-home discharge, and who underwent rectal surgery had the highest odds of extended postoperative length of stay. Associated patient characteristics included bleeding disorder, hypoalbuminemia, and ASA classes 3 to 5. Chronic corticosteroid, immunologic, small molecule, and biologic agent use were insignificant on multivariable analysis. See Video Abstract.
Impacto De Los Factores Preoperatorios En Pacientes Con Enfermedad Inflamatoria Intestinal En La Duracin De La Estancia Postoperatoria Un Anlisis Colaborativo Del Programa Nacional De Mejora De La Calidad Quirrgicaenfermedad Inflamatoria Intestinal:
ANTECEDENTES:Los pacientes con enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal son difíciles de manejar perioperatoriamente debido a la complejidad de la enfermedad y a múltiples comorbilidades.OBJETIVO:Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar si los factores preoperatorios y el tipo de operación se asociaron con una estadía postoperatoria prolongada después de una cirugía relacionada con enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal, definida por el percentil 75 o mayor (n = 926, 30.8%).DISEÑO:Este fue un estudio transversal basado en una base de datos multicéntrica retrospectiva.ESCENARIO:Datos capturados de quince sitios de alto volumen en El Programa Nacional de Mejoramiento de la Calidad de la Cirugía-Enfermedad Intestinal Inflamatoria en colaboración.PACIENTES:Un total de 3,008 pacientes con enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (1,710 con enfermedad de Crohn y 1,291 con colitis ulcerosa) con una mediana de estancia postoperatoria de 4 días (RIC 3-7) desde marzo de 2017 hasta febrero de 2020.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:El resultado primario fue la extensión de la estancia postoperatoria.RESULTADOS:En la regresión logística multivariable, el aumento de las probabilidades de prolongar la estancia postoperatoria se asoció con múltiples factores demográficos y clínicos (modelo p<0.001, área bajo la curva ROC - 0.85). Los contribuyentes clínicamente significativos que aumentaron la duración de la estancia postoperatoria fueron la cirugía rectal (frente al colon) (OR 2.13, IC del 95 %: 1.52 a 2.98), una nueva ileostomía (frente a ninguna ileostomía) (OR 1.50, IC del 95 %: 1.15 a 1.97), hospitalización preoperatoria (OR 13.45, IC 95% 10.15-17.84), alta no domiciliaria (OR 4.78, IC 95% 2.27-10.08), hipoalbuminemia (OR 1.66, IC 95% 1.27-2.18) y trastorno hemorrágico (OR 2.42, IC 95% 1.22-4.82).LIMITACIONES:Revisión retrospectiva de solo centros de alto volumen.CONCLUSIONES:Los pacientes con enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal que fueron hospitalizados antes de la operación, que tuvieron alta no domiciliaria y que se sometieron a cirugía rectal tuvieron las mayores probabilidades de prolongar la estancia postoperatoria. Las características asociadas de los pacientes incluyeron trastorno hemorrágico, hipoalbuminemia y clases ASA 3-5. El uso crónico de corticosteroides, inmunológicos, agentes de moléculas pequeñas y de agentes biológicos no fue significativo en el análisis multivariable. (Traducción-Dr. Jorge Silva Velazco ).

01:30Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
