Abstract

Abstract Purpose Understanding the complication profile of craniosynostosis surgery is important, yet little is known about complication co-occurrence in syndromic children after multi-suture craniosynostosis surgery. We examined concurrent perioperative complications and predictive factors in this population. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, children with syndromic diagnoses and multi-suture involvement who underwent craniosynostosis surgery in 2012–2020 were identified from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatric database. The primary outcome was concurrent complications; factors associated with concurrent complications were identified. Correlations between complications and patient outcomes were assessed. Results Among 5,848 children identified, 161 children (2.75%) had concurrent complications: 129 (2.21%) experienced two complications and 32 (0.55%) experienced ≥ 3. The most frequent complication was bleeding/transfusion (69.53%). The most common concurrent complications were transfusion/superficial infection (27.95%) and transfusion/deep incisional infection (13.04%) or transfusion/sepsis (13.04%). Two cardiac factors (major cardiac risk factors (odds ratio (OR) 3.50 [1.92–6.38]) and previous cardiac surgery (OR 4.87 [2.36–10.04])), two pulmonary factors (preoperative ventilator dependence (OR 3.27 [1.16–9.21]) and structural pulmonary/airway abnormalities (OR 2.89 [2.05–4.08])), and preoperative nutritional support (OR 4.05 [2.34–7.01]) were independently associated with concurrent complications. Children who received blood transfusion had higher odds of deep surgical site infection (OR 4.62 [1.08–19.73]; p = 0.04). Conclusions Our results indicate that several cardiac and pulmonary risk factors, along with preoperative nutritional support, were independently associated with concurrent complications but procedural factors were not. This information can help inform presurgical counseling and preoperative risk stratification in this population.
