Outcomes After Pectus Excavatum Repair: A Nationwide Comparison of Nuss Versus Ravitch Operations
Introduction
Pectus excavatum is the most prevalent chest wall deformity. Repair may be offered via Nuss or Ravitch technique. This study aims to investigate the outcomes of these repairs using a national cohort.
Methods
The Nationwide Readmission Database was queried from 2016 to 2020 for patients aged 12-21 y old with pectus excavatum. Demographics, hospital characteristics, and outcomes were analyzed using standard statistical tests. The results were weighted for national estimates.
Results
A total of 10,053 patients with pectus excavatum underwent repair (86% Nuss, n = 8673 and 14% Ravitch, n = 1380). Baseline characteristics were similar between cohorts. Nuss repair patients traveled more frequently out of state for repair (10.5% versus 8.7%) and were in the highest income quartiles (61.1% versus 57.3%), both P < 0.05. Of reporting hospitals, 60% performed only the Nuss procedure. The Ravitch cohort experienced higher rates of complications during index admission, including chest tube placement (5.1% versus 2.2%), bleeding (2.4% versus 0.6%), air leak (0.9% versus 0.3%), and respiratory failure (1.0% versus 0.3%), as well as longer median length of stay (4 versus 3 d), all with a P value < 0.05. While both cohorts had similar overall readmission rates, Ravitch repairs had higher rates of readmissions for bleeding (18.3% versus 4.5%), pain (32.9% versus 13.5%), and psychiatric complications (31.7% versus 21.2%), all with a P value < 0.05. Ravitch repairs also incurred higher total hospital costs ($18,670 versus 17,462, P < 0.001).
Conclusions
Nuss repairs were associated with fewer index complications with no increase in readmissions compared to Ravitch procedures. However, disparities may exist in access to Nuss repair.
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.
