ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Although peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has emerged as a highly efficacious procedure in the treatment of a variety of esophageal motility disorders, currently no standard pathway for postprocedural care exists. Our study aims to report institutional outcomes in performing POEM as an outpatient procedure with same-day discharge. Additionally, we seek to determine factors associated with admission.METHODS:
Demographic, perioperative, and postoperative outcome data of 115 patients who underwent POEM between June 2014 and January 2020 on a same-day discharge pathway were analyzed. Cohorts were compared using the t test, Wilcoxon rank-sum, or chi-square test. Multivariable logistic regression with a manual backward selection method was used to identify factors associated with admission.RESULTS:
Fifty-five patients (48%) were successfully discharged same-day. The most common primary reasons for admission were delay in obtaining an esophagram (25%), intraoperative complication (13.3%), and pain (10%). There were no differences in 30-day ED visit rate (12.7% vs 15.0%, p = 0.725) or 30-day readmission rate (9.1% vs 16.7%, p = 0.373) between patients who were discharged same-day versus patients who were admitted. Patients discharged same-day had fewer intraoperative complications (1 vs 9, p = 0.017), shorter OR time (69 vs 100 min, p < 0.001), and earlier cessation of narcotic use (day 0 vs day 1, p = 0.001). On multivariable analysis, intraoperative complication (p = 0.048) was associated with overnight admission.CONCLUSION:
Patients did not experience additional morbidity with same-day discharge after POEM. A delay in obtaining an esophagram was the most common reason that patients were admitted and those who suffered an intraoperative complication are more likely to require admission.Palavras-chave
