Abstract

Our retrospective database study investigates sex-stratified predictors of prolonged operative time (POT) and hospital admission following parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The 2016 to 2018 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) was queried for patients with PHPT undergoing parathyroidectomy. Cases analyzed were all outpatient status, arrived from home, coded as non-emergent, and elective. POT was defined by the 75th percentile. Hospital admission was defined as LOS \(\ge\) 1 day. Univariate and multivariable binary logistic regressions were utilized. Of 7442 cases satisfying inclusion criteria, the majority were female (78.0%) and White (78.5%). Median OT (IQR) for females and males was 77 (58–108) and 81 (61–109) minutes, respectively (P = 0.003). 1965 (33.9%) females and 529 (32.3%) males required hospital admission. Independent predictors of POT included ASA class III/IV (aOR 1.342, 95% CI 1.007–1.788) and obesity (aOR 1.427, 95% CI 1.095–1.860) for males (P < 0.05). Independent predictors of hospital admission included age (aOR 1.008, 95% CI 1.002–1.014), ASA class III/IV (aOR 1.490, 95% CI 1.301–1.706), obesity (aOR 1.309, 95% CI 1.151–1.489), dyspnea (aOR 1.394, 95% CI 1.041–1.865), chronic steroid use (aOR 1.674, 95% CI 1.193–2.351), and COPD (aOR 1.534, 95% CI 1.048–2.245) for females (P < 0.05); and ASA class III/IV (aOR 1.931, 95% CI 1.483–2.516) and bleeding disorder (aOR 2.752, 95% CI 1.443–5.247) for males (P < 0.005). In conclusion, predictors of POT and hospital admission following parathyroidectomy for PHPT differed by patient sex. Identifying patients at risk for POT and hospital admission may optimize healthcare resource utilization.
