Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fracture Outcomes by Pediatric and Nonpediatric Orthopedists.

Abstract:

:Pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures are common and often require surgical intervention by an orthopedic surgeon, who may or may not have pediatric subspecialty training. This study used a large national database to assess for potential differences in perioperative outcomes for pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures treated by pediatric and nonpediatric orthopedists. A retrospective comparative cohort analysis was performed using data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Project-Pediatric (NSQIP-P) database 2012 to 2017. Patients 1 to 11 years old were assessed. Demographics, comorbidities, and the incidence of adverse outcomes were compared between pediatric and nonpediatric orthopedists using multivariate analysis controlling for patient characteristics. A total of 15,831 patients were included in the study. Of these, 85.2% were treated by pediatric orthopedists and 14.8% were treated by nonpediatric orthopedists. Demographics, comorbidity burden, operative time, and hospital length of stay were not significantly different between the study groups. With multivariate analysis controlling for patient factors, no differences were identified for 30-day adverse events, reoperation, or readmission whether surgery was performed by pediatric or nonpediatric orthopedists. Considering self-selection of surgeons who perform surgery for pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures, no differences in hospital or general outcome metrics were identified based on who performed these procedures.
