Abstract
Objective
To assess the association of hospital teaching status with outcomes of patients presenting with type B aortic dissection (TBAD).
Design
Retrospective cross-sectional study of the National Readmissions Database (NRD), from 2016 to 2020.
Setting
Hospitals across the United States stratified by teaching status.
Participants
TBAD patients.
Interventions
Surgical repair, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), and conservative medical management.
Measurements and Main Results
A total of 44,981 TBAD patients were included, of whom 5421 (12%) were managed at a nonteaching (NT) hospital and 39,470 (88%) were treated at a teaching (T) hospital. Propensity score matching (1:1) yielded 4676 matched pairs. In-hospital mortality (12.9% for NT vs 12.5% for T; p = 0.58) and 30-day readmission (23.3% for NT vs 21.8% for T; p = 0.12) outcomes were not statistically significantly different between the groups. On multivariable regression, teaching status was not associated with higher odds of in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR], 0.943; 95% confidence interval [CI, 0.841-1.057; p = 0.31) or 30-day readmission (OR, 0.965; 95% CI, 0.88-1.058; p = 0.44). At teaching hospitals, TEVAR was associated with higher odds of in-hospital mortality (OR, 1.898; 95% CI, 1.596-2.257; p < .01), while hospital volume was associated with higher odds of 30-day readmission (quartile 3: OR, 1.488; 95% CI, 1.106-2.002; quartile 4: OR, 1.684; 95% CI, 1.256-2.257; p < 0.01).
Conclusions
Hospital teaching status alone was not associated with in-hospital mortality or 30-day readmission in TBAD patients. At teaching hospitals, management by TEVAR and greater hospital volume were associated with in-hospital mortality and 30-day readmission outcome, respectively.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia is primarily aimed at anesthesiologists who deal with patients undergoing cardiac, thoracic or vascular surgical procedures. JCVA features a multidisciplinary approach, with contributions from cardiac, vascular and thoracic surgeons, cardiologists, and other related specialists. Emphasis is placed on rapid publication of clinically relevant material.
