Popis: | BackgroundObesity is a global health issue with increasing prevalence. Surgical procedures, such as surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF), may be affected by obesity-related complications. The objective of the study is to investigate the effects of obesity on SSRF outcomes in multiple rib fractures.MethodsThis retrospective study analyzed data from adults aged ≥ 20 years in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database diagnosed with multiple rib fractures who underwent SSRF between 2005 and 2018. It investigated the relationship between obesity and in-patient outcomes, such as discharge status, length of stay (LOS), in-hospital mortality, hospital costs, and adverse events using logistic and linear regression analyses.ResultsAnalysis of data from 1,754 patients (morbidly obese: 87; obese: 106; normal weight: 1,561) revealed that morbid obesity was associated with longer LOS (aBeta = 0.07, 95% CI: 0.06, 0.07), higher hospital costs (aBeta = 47.35, 95% CI: 38.55, 56.14), increased risks of adverse events (aOR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.61), hemorrhage/need for transfusion (aOR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.12, 2.79) and mechanical ventilation ≥ 96 hours (aOR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.28, 3.58) compared to normal weight patients. Among patients with flail chest, morbid obesity was significantly associated with tracheostomy (aOR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.05, 4.32), ARDS/respiratory failure (aOR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.09, 3.70), and mechanical ventilation ≥ 96 hours (aOR = 2.80, 95% CI: 1.47, 5.32). In contrast, morbid obesity had no significant associations with these adverse respiratory outcomes among patients without a flail chest (p > 0.05).ConclusionsMorbid obesity is associated with adverse outcomes following SSRF for multiple rib fractures, especially for flail chest patients. |
