ABSTRACT
Background:
Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are prevalent in adult and pediatric populations, but their differences are not well studied using national data. We compared the clinical outcomes of these patients using the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) databases.Methods:
Colectomy cases for CD and UC, the 2 major forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), were compared between adult and pediatric patients using the 2017-2019 ACS NSQIP databases. Various clinical factors were analyzed, with postoperative complications being the primary outcome of interest.Results:
We identified 542 pediatric and 5174 adult CD patients and 360 pediatric and 1292 adult UC patients. Adults with CD or UC were more likely to be on steroids preoperatively (CD 60.15% vs 24.54%; UC 65.63% vs 51.39%). Children with IBD were more likely to have preoperative transfusions (CD 1.48% vs .33%; UC 8.33% vs .62%), systemic inflammatory response syndrome (CD 3.51% vs .93%; UC 12.78% vs 3.10%), or sepsis (CD 1.85% vs .66%; UC 1.39% vs .31%). Unplanned reoperations were more common among pediatric patients in both disease states compared to adults (CD 6.27% vs 4.10%; UC 11.11% vs 4.26%), with P-values for all factors described as ≤.02. Multivariate logistic regression found pediatric age to be associated with higher odds of needing a reoperation among UC patients but not CD patients.Conclusion:
Pediatric patients were sicker at the time of surgery, and those with either disease were more likely to require a reoperation within 30 days.
