مستخلص: Background: Surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) has demonstrated benefit in patients with flail chest and multiple displaced fractures. There is mounting evidence for SSRF following chest wall injury (CWI) for the geriatric trauma population. A recent multi-center retrospective study highlighted a mortality benefit even for those patients aged 80 years and older. The objective of this investigation was to review our institutional experience with both in- and out-of-hospital outcomes within this patient population following SSRF.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients 80 years and older was performed at a high-volume level 2 trauma center from 2017 to 2021. SSRF volume is routinely >60 cases per year. Perioperative, inpatient, and outpatient data were collected as available. Primary outcomes were inpatient and 90-day mortality. Secondary outcomes included discharge on narcotics and freedom from narcotics at 30 days.
Results: 50 patients were included for review. Mean age was 86 years and mechanism of injury was most often fall. 28 of 50 (56%) patients had flail chest (radiographic). Mean number of ribs fixated was 4.7 and time to surgery 2.5 days. Inpatient mortality was 3/50 (6%), 90-day mortality was 9/50 (18%) of which three were attributable primarily to CWI (6/50, 12%). Of patients with follow-up of 1 year and beyond, 27/28 were alive (96%). With respect to narcotic consumption, 45% (21/47) were discharged on narcotics with 90% (28/31; N limited by missing data) being narcotic-free at 30 days.
Conclusion: In this high-risk patient population, inpatient mortality was comparably low to prior reports, though 90-day mortality was doubled when incorporating CWI-related deaths. Narcotic use was seen in the minority of patients upon discharge, and most progressed to being narcotic-free at 30 days post-hospitalization. Inpatient outcomes alone may not adequately define both the benefit and risk of SSRF performed in patients 80 years and older.
