Impact of Sociodemographic and Hospital Factors on Inpatient Bilateral Reduction Mammaplasty: A National Inpatient Sample Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although reduction mammaplasty remains a common procedure in plastic surgery, its interaction with sociodemographic and economic disparities has remained relatively uncharacterized on a nationwide scale.

Methods

Patients who underwent reduction mammaplasty were identified within the 2016-2018 National Inpatient Sample databases. In addition to clinical comorbidities, sociodemographic characteristics, hospital-level variables, and postoperative outcomes of each patient were collected for analysis. Statistical analyses, including univariate comparison and multivariate logistic regression, were applied to the cohort to determine significant predictors of adverse outcomes, described as extended length of stay, higher financial cost, and postoperative complications.
