Abstrakt: Introduction: Optimal criteria and timing for enterostomy closure (EC) in neonates is largely based on clinical progression and adequate weight, with most institutions using 2.0-2.5 kg as the minimum acceptable weight. It is unclear how the current weight cutoff affects post-operative morbidity.
Aim: To determine how infant weight at the time of EC influences 30-day complications.
Methods: Infants weighing ≤4000 g who underwent EC were identified in the 2012-2019 ACS NSQIP-P database. Demographics, comorbidities, and 30-day outcomes were assessed using univariate analysis. Multivariable logistic regression controlling for ASA score, nutritional support, and ventilator support was used to estimate the independent association of weight on risk of 30-day complications.
Results: A total of 1692 neonates from the NSQIP-P database during the years 2012-2019 met inclusion criteria. Neonates weighing <2.5 kg were significantly more likely to have a younger gestational age, require ventilator support, and have concurrent comorbidities. Major morbidity, a composite outcome of the individual postoperative complications, was observed in 283 (16.7%) infants. ASA classifications 4 and 5, dependence on nutritional support, and ventilator support were independently associated with increased risk of 30-day complications. With respect to weight, we found no significant difference in major morbidity between infants weighing <2.5 kg and infants weighing ≥2.5 kg.
Conclusion: Despite using a robust, national dataset, we could find no evidence that a defined weight cut-off was associated with a reduction in major morbidity, indicating that weight should not be a priority factor when determining eligibility for neonatal EC.
