Objectives/Hypothesis
To characterize and identify predictors of 30-day adverse events in patients undergoing laryngeal framework surgery (LFS).
Study Design
This study is a retrospective analysis of the National Surgical Quality Improvement dataset.
Methods
LFS cases were identified from the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database from 2008 to 2018. Demographic variables, patient comorbidities, and perioperative outcomes (any adverse event, 30-day readmission, 30-day reoperation, and unplanned intubation) were extracted. Patient-specific and surgery-specific factors associated with perioperative adverse events were examined using descriptive statistics and univariate logistic regression (LR).
Results
Of 283 patients who underwent LFS, 225 underwent laryngoplasty medialization, 56 underwent laryngoplasty medialization with arytenoidectomy or arytenoidopexy via an external approach, and 2 underwent local myocutaneous or fasciocutaneous advancement flap along with laryngoplasty. Medical comorbidities were present in 33.6% of patients and 57.9% were American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Class III/IV (57.9%). LFS was performed as same-day surgery in 30.7% of cases. Fourteen patients (4.9%) suffered an adverse condition within 30 days following surgery. In univariate LR, ASA Class III or IV (odds ratio [OR] 4.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2–30.1) was the only predictor associated with any adverse event. Arytenoid adduction (AA) was associated with increased risk of reoperation within 30 days of the initial surgery (OR 6.4, 95% CI 1.0–49).
Conclusions
LFS is a generally safe procedure with infrequent perioperative adverse events. In the ACS-NSQIP database, ASA classification of III or IV was associated with a higher risk for any 30-day adverse event and AA was associated with a higher risk for 30-day reoperation.
