Abstract
Introduction
Rib fractures are among the most frequent injuries in trauma. This study aims to assess the current nationwide trends in operative rib fixation and identify predictors of surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRFs).
Methods
A 5-y (2017-2021) retrospective analysis of the Trauma Quality Improvement Program database was performed. Adult trauma patients who had at least one rib fracture were included. We analyzed data regarding type of SSRF including open and thoracoscopic approaches and its trends.
Results
A total of 780,275 patients were identified, of which 15,339 patients (1.9%) were managed with SSRF. Trends of both open and endoscopic approaches were increasing during the study period. Patients with ≤2 rib fractures had a decreasing rate of SSRF. Flail chest (odds ratio = 13.42, P < 0.001) was the strongest predictor of SSRF.
Conclusions
SSRF is gaining popularity in the management of chest trauma. The presence of a flail segment and multiplicity of rib fractures is among the predictors of SSRF.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Surgical Research: Clinical and Laboratory Investigation publishes original articles concerned with clinical and laboratory investigations relevant to surgical practice and teaching. The journal emphasizes reports of clinical investigations or fundamental research bearing directly on surgical management that will be of general interest to a broad range of surgeons and surgical researchers. The articles presented need not have been the products of surgeons or of surgical laboratories.
The Journal of Surgical Research also features review articles and special articles relating to educational, research, or social issues of interest to the academic surgical community.
