Abstract

AbstractIndividuals with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) reportedly have a higher risk of postoperative complications than those without DM1; however, factors related to perioperative complications in DM1 patients remain unclear. We aimed to identify the risk factors that may be associated with postoperative complications in DM1 patients. We reviewed medical records of 256 patients with DM1 from 1998 to 2018, among whom 42 (16.4%) had previously undergone 51 surgeries under general and regional anaesthesia. Among the 42 patients, 11 (21.5%) had 13 postoperative complications including respiratory complications, sustained hypotension, wound infection and dehiscence, artery thrombosis and occlusion, and delayed recovery from anaesthesia. There were significant inter-group differences between the non-complicated and complicated groups considering the following parameters: high-grade (≥ 3) muscular impairment rating scale (MIRS), extubation time, postoperative opioid use, and hospital length of stay. Furthermore, univariate analysis revealed that an MIRS score ≥ 3 (odds ratio [OR] 9.346, confidence interval [CI] 1.761–49.595, p = 0.009) and postoperative opioid use (OR 8.000, CI 1.772–36.127, p = 0.007) were the only statistically significant factors. Therefore, clinicians should be cautious in administering opioids, particularly in patients with a high-grade MIRS score during the perioperative period.
