Abstract

To identify risk factors for and the rate of wound complications after laryngectomy in a large, prospectively collected national dataset, and to generate a predictive model. Study design We used the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) registry created by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to identify patients undergoing total laryngectomy from 1989 to 1999 (n = 2063). We linked these data to inpatient and outpatient VA administrative records to capture data for prior radiation. Over 20 preoperative and intraoperative risk factors were analyzed using bivariate techniques. Those significant at the P < 0.01 level were analyzed with logistic regression and conjunctive consolidation to identify independent predictors of wound complications. The overall wound complication rate was 10.0%. In adjusted analyses, prolonged operative time (>10 hours, odds ratio = 2.10, 95% confidence interval: 1.32-3.36), exposure to prior radiation therapy (OR =1.63, 1.07-2.46), presence of diabetes (OR =1.78, 1.04-3.04), preoperative hypoalbuminemia (OR =1.90, 1.32-2.74), anemia (OR =1.59, 1.07-2.36), and thrombocytosis (OR =1.48, 1.04-2.10) were independently associated with postoperative wound complications.
