Abstract

BACKGROUND: Patients with IBD are challenging to manage perioperatively because of disease complexity and multiple comorbidities. OBJECTIVE: To identify whether preoperative factors and operation type were associated with extended postoperative length of stay after IBD-related surgery, defined by 75th percentile or greater (n = 926; 30.8%). DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional study based on a retrospective multicenter database. SETTING: The National Surgery Quality Improvement Program-Inflammatory Bowel Disease Collaborative captured data from 15 high-volume sites. PATIENTS: A total of 3008 patients with IBD (1710 with Crohn's disease and 1291 with ulcerative colitis) with a median postoperative length of stay of 4 days (interquartile range, 3-7) from March 2017 to February 2020. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was extended postoperative length of stay. RESULTS: On multivariable logistic regression, increased odds of extended postoperative length of stay were associated with multiple demographic and clinical factors (model p < 0.001, area under receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.85). Clinically significant contributors that increased postoperative length of stay were rectal surgery (vs colon; OR, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.52-2.98), new ileostomy (vs no ileostomy; OR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.15-1.97), preoperative hospitalization (OR, 13.45; 95% CI, 10.15-17.84), non-home discharge (OR, 4.78; 95% CI, 2.27-10.08), hypoalbuminemia (OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.27-2.18), and bleeding disorder (OR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.22-4.82). LIMITATIONS: Retrospective review of only high-volume centers. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with IBD who were preoperatively hospitalized, who had non-home discharge, and who underwent rectal surgery had the highest odds of extended postoperative length of stay. Associated patient characteristics included bleeding disorder, hypoalbuminemia, and ASA classes 3 to 5. Chronic corticosteroid, immunologic, small molecule, and biologic agent use were insignificant on multivariable analysis. See Video Abstract.
