Background: It is controversial when surgery should be performed for pectus excavatum (PE). The study retrospectively compared the long-term prognosis in PE children undergoing the Nuss procedure at the age of 4–6 versus those performing surgery at the age of 12–14. Methods: 178 patients were included in the retrospective real-world research. Clinical Characteristics were collected at baseline. The endpoint of the study was set as the last follow-up at the age of 18 in outpatient services. Satisfaction and complication rate were set as the primary outcome and were collected at the endpoint. Hospital stay post-surgery and analgesia dosage were regard as the secondary outcome. To reduce potential bias between two different age groups, propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was analysized. Results: The oral analgesic dosage of children in the 4–6 years old age group is significantly lower than that of the 12–14 years old group (0.70/kg, 0.30–1.50/kg versus 1.50/kg, 0.90–2.30/kg, P |
