ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a congenital anomaly associated with lifelong multisystem morbidity. This study sought to identify factors contributing to hospital readmission after CDH repair.METHODS:
The Nationwide Readmissions Database from 2010 to 2014 was used to identify patients with CDH who underwent surgical repair. Primary outcomes included all cause readmission at 30-days and 1â¯year and readmission for hernia recurrence. Patient and hospital factors were compared using chi-squared analysis.RESULTS:
Five hundred eleven patients were identified with neonatal CDH. All repairs were performed at teaching hospitals via laparotomy in 59% (nâ¯=â¯303), thoracotomy in 36% (nâ¯=â¯183), and minimally invasive (MIS) repair in 5% (nâ¯=â¯25). The readmission rate within 30-days was 32% (nâ¯=â¯163), and 97% (nâ¯=â¯495) within 1â¯year. The most common conditions surrounding readmission were for gastroesophageal reflux (20%), CDH recurrence (17%), and surgery for gastrostomy tube and/or fundoplication (16%). Recurrence was significantly higher after MIS repair (48%) compared to those with open repair via either approach (16%), pâ¯<â¯0.001.CONCLUSIONS:
This is the first study to evaluate nationwide readmissions in newborns with CDH. Readmission is commonly due to CDH recurrence and reflux-associated complications. The recurrence rate is higher than previously reported and is more common after MIS and repair via thoracotomy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III treatment study.Palavras-chave
