Increased Length of Hospital Stay after Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Role of Pulmonary Complications
Objectives The average hospital length of stay plays a significant role in healthcare costs, and is also used as a metric of hospital efficiency. An advantage of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the shorter postoperative time period after the surgery. The purpose of this study...

description | Objectives The average hospital length of stay plays a significant role in healthcare costs, and is also used as a metric of hospital efficiency. An advantage of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the shorter postoperative time period after the surgery. The purpose of this study is to review the factors associated with increased length of stay after EVAR. Methods The records from American College of Surgeons National Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database in 2013 were obtained using Procedure Participant User File. Pre-, intra-, and post-operative factors were assessed of patients undergoing EVAR in 2013. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent variables for a hospital length of stay of at least seven days. Results A total of 1,991 patients (18.7% female, 81.3% males) underwent EVAR in 2013. Among these patients, 223 (11.2%) had a hospital stay greater than seven days. Variables significantly associated with length of stay in a multivariable model included: total operation time greater than 180 minutes (vs. less than 90 minutes, OR 1.88, CI 1.03-3.41, p = 0.039), postoperative, and intraoperative transfusions (OR 2.60, CI 1.66-4.08, p < 0.001), return to operating room (OR 2.88, CI 1.55-5.38, p < 0.001), rupture indication for surgery (OR 5.59, CI 3.18-9.83, p < 0.001), myocardial infarction (OR 5.85, CI 2.22-15.43, p < 0.001), preoperative transfusion (OR 13.05, CI 4.26-39.99, p < 0.001), and on ventilator greater than 48 hours (OR 49.65, CI 10.72-230.07, p < 0.001). Conclusions Multiple factors affect length of hospital stay in patients who have undergone EVAR. Patients with postoperative respiratory failure after EVAR have a significantly higher risk for longer hospital stays. |
