RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial guidance for common bile duct stones during the perioperative period is limited. We sought to examine the effect of broad-spectrum (BS) vs narrow-spectrum (NS) antibiotics on surgical site infections (SSIs) in patients with common bile duct stones undergoing same-admission cholecystectomy. STUDY DESIGN: We performed a post hoc analysis of a prospective, observational, multicenter study of patients undergoing same-admission cholecystectomy for choledocholithiasis and/or acute biliary pancreatitis between 2016 and 2019. We excluded patients with cholangitis, perforated cholecystitis, and nonbiliary infections on admission. Patients were divided based on receipt of BS or NS antibiotics. Our primary outcome was the incidence of SSIs, and secondary outcomes included hospital length of stay, acute kidney injury (AKI), and 30-day readmission for SSI. RESULTS: The cohort had 891 patients: 51.7% (n= 461) received BS antibiotics and 48.3% (n = 430) received NS antibiotics. Overall antibiotic duration was longer in the BS group than in the NS group (6 vs 4 d, p = 0.01); however, there was no difference in rates of SSI (0.9% vs 0.5%, p = 0.7) or 30-day readmission for SSI (1.1% vs 1.2%, p = 1.0). Hospital length of stay was significantly longer in the BS group (p < 0.001) as were rates of AKI (5% vs 1.4%, p = 0.001). On multivariable regression, BS antibiotic use was a risk factor for AKI (adjusted odds ratio 2.8, 95% CI 1.16 to 7.82, p = 0.02). CONCLUSION: The incidence of SSI and 30-day readmission for SSI was similar between antibiotic groups. However, BS antibiotic use was associated with a longer hospitalization and greater likelihood of AKI.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: It is commonly taught that a widened mediastinum (WM) on chest X-ray (CXR) is a marker for aortic injury (AI). We sought to describe the epidemiology of injuries for all patients with WM and compare their CXR to those of patients with confirmed AI. METHODS: Adults (age ≥ 18) sustaining blunt traumatic injuries from January 2017 to June 2017 with both CXR (supine, anterior-posterior) and chest CT were included. We excluded those whose CT preceded CXR and those with missing data. Basic demographics, injury characteristics, mediastinal width (MW), mediastinal-to-thoracic width ratio (MTR), and all thoracic imaging findings were analyzed. MW > 8 cm was considered WM. We also queried our registry for all AI patients over a 4-year period. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of WM on CXR for AI were calculated. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with positive traumatic findings, controlling for body mass index (BMI), sex, high-energy mechanism, MTR, and mediastinal width. RESULTS: Of 749 included subjects, 502 (67%) had an MW > 8 cm: mean age was 48 ± 20 y, 381 (76%) were men, and BMI was 28 ± 5 kg/m2. Mechanism of injury was motor vehicle crash in 335 (67%); fall in 113 (23%); assault in 31 (6%); other (jet-ski accidents, etc.) in 17 (3%), and unknown in 6 (1%). Only 128 (26%) of patients with WM had positive findings on CT, with the most common [80 (16%)] being nontraumatic findings (pericardial infusion, lymph nodes, etc.), followed by hemomediastinum/pneumomediastinum [32 (6%)], sternal fractures [18 (4%)], multiple findings [15 (3%)], and vertebral fractures [6 (1%)]. Only 2 (1%) had AI. The sensitivity was 100%, specificity was 33%, PPV was 0.4%, NPV was 100%, and accuracy was 33%. From 2013 to 2017, 38 patients had AI: mean age was 46 ± 19 y, 26 (68%) were men, and BMI was 28 ± 4 kg/m2. Motor vehicle crash was the most common mechanism (89%), followed by "other" trauma mechanism (5%), fall (3%), and assault (3%). On univariate analysis, compared with all patients with WM, patients with AI had significantly greater MW (9.5 [8.8-10.4] versus 10.2 [9.1-11.1]; P = 0.042) and MTR (0.31 [0.28-0.34] versus 0.32 [0.31-0.37]; P = 0.001), although the actual differences were not clinically significant. The regression analysis did not identify any factors associated with traumatic CXR findings. CONCLUSIONS: Most bluntly injured adults have a WM, and the majority have either no findings or nontraumatic findings. The PPV of a WM for AI is <1%. WM on supine CXR is nonspecific and inaccurate for diagnosing traumatic injuries, especially AI.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Trauma patients are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). One in four trauma readmissions occur at a different hospital. There are no national studies measuring readmissions to different hospitals with VTE after trauma. Thus, the true national burden in trauma patients readmitted with VTE is unknown and can provide a benchmark to improve quality of care. METHODS: The Nationwide Readmission Database (2010-2014) was queried for patients ≥18 years non-electively admitted for trauma. Patients with VTE or inferior vena cava filter placement on index admission were excluded. Outcomes included 30-day and 1-year readmission to both index and different hospitals with a new diagnosis of VTE. Multivariable logistic regression identified risk factors. Results were weighted for national estimates. RESULTS: Of the 5,151,617 patients admitted for trauma, 1.2% (n = 61,800) were readmitted within 1 year with VTE. Of those, 29.6% (n = 18,296) were readmitted to a different hospital. Risk factors for readmission to a different hospital included index admission to a for-profit hospital (OR 1.33 [1.27-1.40], p < 0.001), skull fracture (OR 1.20 [1.08-1.35], p < 0.001), Medicaid (OR 1.16 [1.06-1.26], p < 0.001), hospitalization >7 days (OR 1.12 [1.07-1.18], p < 0.001), and the lowest quartile of median household income for patient ZIP code (OR 1.13 [1.07-1.19], p < 0.01). The yearly cost of 1-year readmission for VTE was $256.9 million, with $90.4 million (35.2%) as a result of different hospital readmission. CONCLUSIONS: Previously unreported, over one in three patients readmitted with VTE a year after hospitalization for trauma, accounting for over a third of the cost, present to another hospital and are not captured by current metrics. Risk factors are unique. This has significant implications for benchmarking, outcomes, prevention, and policy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Epidemiological study, level II.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients with gallstone pancreatitis (GP) or choledocholithiasis (CDL) may have common bile duct (CBD) stones that persist until cholangiography. The aim of this study is to evaluate pre-cholangiogram factors that predict persistent CBD stones. METHODS: Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to identify demographic, laboratory, and radiologic predictors of persistent CBD stones and non-therapeutic cholangiography among adults with GP or CDL. RESULTS: In 152 patients from 2010 to 2015, preoperative diagnosis, presence of a CBD stone on US, and age ≥ 60 years were associated with persistent CBD stones. Two risk factors alone had a PPV of 88% and the absence of all risk factors had a NPV of 94%. Age < 60 years and the absence of a CBD stone on US were most predictive of non-therapeutic cholangiography. CONCLUSION: Age, LFTs, and US help predict persistent CBD stones in patients initially presenting with GP or CDL and help minimize non-therapeutic preoperative cholangiography.
