Abstract
Purpose
We aim to utilize a large national database to assess postoperative outcomes of pancreatic resection operations in children and the factors associated with early postoperative adverse events.
Methods
Children (age ≤18 years) undergoing pancreatectomy between 2012 and 2021 were identified using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatric database. Demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes were reported across operation types. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with postoperative adverse events within 30 days.
Results
Of 336 patients identified, 260 (77.4 %) underwent distal pancreatectomy, 54 (16.1 %) underwent enucleation, 12 (3.6 %) underwent total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation, 5 (1.5 %) underwent pancreatoduodenectomy, 3 (0.9 %) underwent total pancreatectomy, and 2 (0.6 %) underwent debridement. Indications for operation included pancreatic neoplasms/cysts (n = 134, 39.9 %), hypoglycemia (n = 95, 28.3 %), other pancreatic diagnoses (n = 59, 17.6 %), pancreatitis/pseudocysts (n = 36, 10.7 %), and trauma (n = 12, 3.6 %). Median length of stay was 7 days (IQR: 5–15). In the 30-day postoperative period, 27 (8 %) patients were readmitted, 20 (6 %) patients underwent reoperation, 85 (25.3 %) patients had complications, and there was one (0.3 %) mortality. Overall, 106 (31.5 %) patients had postoperative adverse events. Odds of any adverse event were independently higher in those with preoperative comorbidities (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.51, 95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.39–4.57) and need for preoperative nutritional support (aOR: 3.94, 95 % CI: 1.88–8.54).
Conclusion
In pediatric patients undergoing pancreatectomy operations, preoperative comorbidities and need for nutritional support are independently associated with higher odds of adverse events. Multidisciplinary preoperative optimization should be considered in these high-risk groups.
期刊介绍:
The journal presents original contributions as well as a complete international abstracts section and other special departments to provide the most current source of information and references in pediatric surgery. The journal is based on the need to improve the surgical care of infants and children, not only through advances in physiology, pathology and surgical techniques, but also by attention to the unique emotional and physical needs of the young patient.
