Clinical factors associated with ultrashort length of stay in patients undergoing lower extremity bypass for peripheral arterial disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Length of stay (LOS) is a major driver of cost and resource utilization following lower extremity bypass (LEB). However, the variable comorbidity burden and mobility status of LEB patients makes implementing enhanced recovery after surgery pathways challenging. The aim of this study was to use a large national database to identify patient factors associated with ultrashort LOS among patients undergoing LEB for peripheral artery disease.

Methods

All patients undergoing LEB for peripheral artery disease in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Project database from 2011 to 2018 were included. Patients were divided into two groups based on the postoperative length of stay : ultrashort (≤2 days) and standard (>2 days). Thirty-day outcomes were compared using descr
