Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Small bowel obstruction (SBO) represents roughly 15% of admissions by general surgeons. Management of SBO relies heavily on provider judgment, including decisions on how long to try nonsurgical management and whether to use a laparoscopic or open approach when surgery is needed. Given the subjective nature of these decisions, it is unknown if patient race influences management of SBO. STUDY DESIGN:The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was used to identify patients who underwent adhesiolysis or small bowel resection for adhesive SBO between 2010 and 2015 (n = 13,896). Adjusted logistic regression models incorporating patient comorbidity, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class, and emergency status were used to analyze odds of receiving surgery after 5 days from hospital admission (Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma guidelines) and of undergoing an open operation. RESULTS:Patients who waited more than 5 days for a procedure had greater adjusted odds of postoperative complication (odds ratio [OR] 1.56 95% CI 1.37 to 1.79) compared with those waiting 5 days or less. Similarly, open procedures had higher odds of complication compared with laparoscopic (OR 2.31 95% CI 2.00 to 2.68). Regression analysis demonstrated that black patients were significantly more likely than white patients to wait more than 5 days for surgery (OR 1.31 95% CI [1.13-1.53]) and undergo open surgery (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.36 to 1.79). There was no statistical difference for Hispanics patients waiting more than 5 days (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.73 to 1.31) or receiving open surgery (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.70 to 1.01) compared with white patients. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical decisions regarding SBO management differ based on patient race. Future studies focusing on the surgical decision-making process and the influence of bias are needed.
