Abstract
Background: This study aimed to determine the clinical impact of wound management technique on surgical site infection (SSI), hospital length of stay (LOS), and mortality in emergent colorectal surgery.
Methods: A prospective observational study (2021-2023) of urgent or emergent colorectal surgery patients at 15 institutions was conducted. Pediatric patients and traumatic colorectal injuries were excluded. Patients were classified by wound closure technique: skin closed (SC), skin loosely closed (SLC), or skin open (SO). Primary outcomes were SSI, hospital LOS, and in-hospital mortality rates. Multivariable regression was used to assess the effect of wound closure on outcomes after controlling for demographics, patient characteristics, intensive care unit admission, vasopressor use, procedure details, and wound class. A priori power analysis indicated that 138 patients per group were required to detect a 10% difference in mortality rates.
Results: In total, 557 patients were included (SC, n = 262; SLC, n = 124; SO, n = 171). Statistically significant differences in body mass index, race/ethnicity, American Society of Anesthesiologist scores, EBL, intensive care unit admission, vasopressor therapy, procedure details, and wound class were observed across groups. Overall, average LOS was 16.9 ± 16.4 days, and rates of in-hospital mortality and SSI were 7.9% and 18.5%, respectively, with the lowest rates observed in the SC group. After risk adjustment, SO was associated with increased risk of mortality (OR, 3.003; p = 0.028) in comparison with the SC group. Skin loosely closed was associated with increased risk of superficial SSI (OR, 3.439; p = 0.014), after risk adjustment.
Conclusion: When compared with the SC group, the SO group was associated with mortality but comparable when considering all other outcomes, while the SLC was associated with increased superficial SSI. Complete skin closure may be a viable wound management technique in emergent colorectal surgery.
Level of Evidence: Therapeutic/Care Management; Level III.
