Abstract
Background: We previously reported that an extended antibiotic mitigation pathway following pancreatoduodenectomy in patients with intermediate-/high-risk glands is associated with 83 % lower odds of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF). We now describe associations between the pathway, resource utilization, and hospital charges.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent elective pancreatoduodenectomy with soft gland texture and fistula risk score (FRS) ≥3 who received standard or extended antibiotics. Hospital charges and resource utilization within 90 days of surgery were compared by CR-POPF status and antibiotic pathway.
Results: A total of 34 patients received extended antibiotics and 53 received standard antibiotics. In patients with CR-POPF, patients who received extended antibiotics had lower likelihood of surgical or percutaneous reintervention (75.0 % vs. 100.0 %, p = 0.022). Ninety-day postoperative charges associated with CR-POPF were higher than no CR-POPF ($60,527 vs. $25,631, p = 0.028). Our risk-based model predicted a $15,825 decrease in hospital charges per patient receiving extended antibiotics.
Conclusions: CR-POPF is associated with higher 90-day hospital charges. Extended antibiotic therapy following pancreatoduodenectomy in patients with soft gland texture and FRS ≥3 is associated with fewer reinterventions in patients who develop CR-POPF. These outcomes will be formally tested in a randomized controlled trial (NCT05753735).
期刊介绍:
HPB is an international forum for clinical, scientific and educational communication.
Twelve issues a year bring the reader leading articles, expert reviews, original articles, images, editorials, and reader correspondence encompassing all aspects of benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease and its management. HPB features relevant aspects of clinical and translational research and practice.
Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges faced in the management of cancer involving the liver, biliary system and pancreas. While surgical oncology represents a large part of HPB practice, submission of manuscripts relating to liver and pancreas transplantation, the treatment of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and those relating to hepatobiliary infection and inflammation are also welcomed. There will be a focus on developing a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, radiological interventions and surgical techniques being strongly represented. HPB welcomes submission of manuscripts in all these areas and in scientific focused research that has clear clinical relevance to HPB surgical practice.
HPB aims to help its readers - surgeons, physicians, radiologists and basic scientists - to develop their knowledge and practice. HPB will be of interest to specialists involved in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease however will also inform those working in related fields.
