Intercostal Nerve Cryoablation in Minimally Invasive Repair of Pectus Excavatum: National Trends, Outcomes, and Predictors of Utilization
Purpose
Intercostal nerve cryoablation during minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) is an effective pain control technique. Some insurers may not reimburse for cryoablation in this context, contending that it’s an experimental procedure. This study aimed to describe national trends in cryoablation use and evaluate outcomes and predictors of its use.
Methods
The Pediatric Health Information System database was queried for pectus excavatum patients aged 9–21 who underwent MIRPE between 2016 and 2023. Concurrent cryoablation use was identified using billing/supply codes. Temporal trends in cryoablation utilization were described and quantified using linear regression. Demographics, resource utilization, and outcomes were compared for patients based on cryoablation utilization using chi-square and Kruskal–Wallis tests. Predictors of cryoablation use were evaluated with logistic regression.
Results
This analysis included 2068 patients (mean age 15 ± 1.8 years; 86 % male). Cryoablation utilization increased from 33 % to 61 % from 2016 to 2023, with a strong positive trend (R2 = 0.73). Cryoablation patients had fewer surgical complications (8 % vs 12 %, p = 0.004), shorter LOS (2.0 ± 1.3 vs. 2.8 ± 1.6 days, p < 0.001), fewer total mean opiate days billed (1.4 ± 1.1 vs. 1.6 ± 1.4 days, p < 0.0001) and higher total costs ($24,045 ± $9696 vs. $20,751 ± $9,237, p < 0.001). High-volume centers (odds ratio (OR) 1.9, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.2–3.0) and commercial HMO insurance (OR 2.7, 95 % CI 1.9–3.8) were predictors of cryoablation use.
Conclusion
Cryoablation during MIRPE has increased nationally since 2016; now being performed in nearly two-thirds of all cases. Cryoablation should be considered a standard adjunct to MIRPE rather than an experimental technique.
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.
