Thirty-Day Outcomes following Pediatric Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcoma Surgery: A NSQIP Pediatrics Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pediatric bone and soft tissue sarcomas are rare; therefore, national registries are essential tools for orthopedic oncology research. Past studies provide excellent data on long-term prognosis and survival trends but fail to examine treatment-specific morbidity. The aim of this study is to use a national registry to describe patient demographics, comorbidities, and adverse events in the first thirty days following surgical management of pediatric bone and soft tissue sarcomas.

Methods

A retrospective review of patients in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatrics database (NSQIP-P) was performed. The cohort was partitioned by tumor origin (bone versus soft tissue) and tumor location (axial versus appendicular).
