We describe the incidence of complications and their association with healthcare utilization and hospital-borne costs among patients who underwent open LAR with CCS, with the intent to provide contextual epidemiologic and economic burden data for future evaluations of innovations that may lead to a reduced incidence of complications.Methods: Retrospective cohort study using Premier Healthcare Database. Studied patients were ≥ 18 years who underwent inpatient open LAR with CCS between October 1, 2016 and March 30, 2020 (index admission). Complications of interest included anastomotic leak, bleeding, infection, transfusion, and device complications/adverse incidents during the index admission. Outcomes included index admission hospital length of stay (LOS), non-home discharge status, total operating room (OR) time, total hospital-borne costs, and all-cause readmissions within 30, 60, and 90 days post discharge from index admission. Multivariable regression models were used to compare outcomes between patients with vs without any complication of interest.Results: The study included 618 patients with a mean age of 61 years, of whom 57% were males. The incidence proportion of any complication during the index admission for open LAR with CCS was 28% (95% CI: [23.9%, 31.0%], n=170). As compared with patients experiencing no complications, those with a complication had higher adjusted mean total hospital costs ($38,159 vs $22,303, p< 0.001), non-home discharge status (21.8% vs 9.2%, p=0.004), mean LOS (13 days vs 6 days, p< 0.001), and mean OR time (362 mins vs 291 mins, p< 0.001). There were no significant differences in all-cause readmissions between patients with vs without complications.Conclusion: Among patients undergoing open LAR with CCS, over a quarter of patients experienced a complication, resulting in a substantial burden to the healthcare system.Keywords: anastomotic leak, bleeding, costs, contour curved stapler, radial reload, rectal resectionRai PJohnston SSChaudhuri RNaoumtchik EPollack EDove Medical Pressarticleanastomotic leakbleedingcostscontour curved staplerradial reloadrectal resectionMedical technologyR855-855.5ENMedical Devices: Evidence and Research, Vol Volume 14, Pp 87-95 (2021)
