The primary objective was to examine the outcomes and costs associated with the use of IV APAP in combination with opioids versus opioids alone as a pain management strategy after neonatal esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) repair.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Data from the Pediatric Health Information System was used to examine 1137 hospitalizations for EA/TEF repair from October 2015 to September 2018. Neonates administered opioids only, or IV APAP in combination with opioids as pain management, were included.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Neonates receiving IV APAP experienced a longer median LOS, but a significantly lower mortality rate, a decreased mean daily cost, and reduced opioid use compared to neonates given only opioids. The two groups had no significant differences in pharmacy and total costs.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our findings suggest that the use of IV APAP alongside opioids in EA/TEF repair is associated with reduced mortality and opioid use, as well as longer LOS.</p>","PeriodicalId":56095,"journal":{"name":"Pediatrics and Neonatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141581676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
