Follow-up and complications rates in orthopedic trauma patients with substance use disorders
Background
Substance use disorders (SUD) are common and associated with trauma [1–5]. Despite the high frequency of patients with SUDs presenting with trauma and the ubiquitous concerns about compliance, follow-up, and complications amongst providers caring for these patients there has been little attempt to quantify outcomes in this everyday group of patients. The purpose of the current study was thus to document basic demographics, follow-up rates, and surgical outcomes in orthopedic trauma patients presenting with substance use disorders.
Methods
A retrospective review of an observational cohort was performed. All skeletally mature patients younger than 70 and with insurance that allowed long term follow-up and surgically treated for orthopedic trauma by a single author at an urban level-1 trauma center between November 2019 and December 2024 were enrolled. 202 patients did not have a pre-existing substance use disorder (NO-SUD), 96 patients did (SUD). Basic demographic information, injury characteristics, follow-up rates, and surgical complication rates over the first post-operative year were compared.
Results
Mean age and percentage of male/female did not differ between SUD and NO-SUD cohorts. There were more white and fewer Asian/Pacific Islanders in the SUD cohort. Of the 10 most common comorbidities, there was only a significantly higher rate of congestive heart failure (CHF) in the SUD cohort. Injury location did not differ between cohorts. Those in the SUD cohort more often had high grade open fractures. Follow-up rates in both groups were poor, but worse at all time points for those in the SUD cohort. The SUD cohort also had significantly longer lengths of stay and a higher mortality rate at 1 year. Infection, construct failure, and amputations rates were all higher in the SUD cohort.
Conclusions
Demographics between the SUD and NO-SUD populations were similar. Injury severity, follow-up rates, and complication rates were all significantly worse in the SUD cohort. Such data can be used by surgeons to council patients on prognosis and when discussing the risks and benefits of surgical intervention in the SUD population.
