Factors Associated With Otolaryngologists Performing Tracheotomy
Importance: Tracheotomies are frequently performed by nonotolaryngology services. The factors that determine which specialty performs the procedure are not defined in the literature but may be influenced by tracheotomy approach (open vs percutaneous) and other clinicodemographic factors.
Objective: To evaluate demographic and clinical characteristics associated with tracheotomies performed by otolaryngologists compared with other specialists and to differentiate those factors from factors associated with use of open vs percutaneous tracheotomy.
Design, Setting, and Participants: This multicenter, retrospective cohort study included patients aged 18 years or older who underwent a tracheotomy for cardiopulmonary failure at 1 of 8 US academic institutions between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2016. Data were analyzed from September 2022 to July 2023.
Exposure: Tracheotomy.
Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was factors associated with an otolaryngologist performing tracheotomy. The secondary outcome was factors associated with use of the open tracheotomy technique.
Results: A total of 2929 patients (mean [SD] age, 57.2 [17.2] years; 1751 [59.8%] male) who received a tracheotomy for cardiopulmonary failure (652 [22.3%] performed by otolaryngologists and 2277 [77.7%] by another service) were analyzed. Although 1664 of all tracheotomies (56.8%) were performed by an open approach, only 602 open tracheotomies (36.2%) were performed by otolaryngologists. Most tracheotomies performed by otolaryngologists (602 of 652 [92.3%]) used the open technique. Multivariable regression analysis revealed that self-reported Black race (odds ratio [OR], 1.89; 95% CI, 1.52-2.35), history of neck surgery (OR, 2.71; 95% CI, 2.06-3.57), antiplatelet and/or anticoagulation therapy (OR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.29-2.36), and morbid obesity (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.24-1.92) were associated with greater odds of an otolaryngologist performing tracheotomy. In contrast, history of neck surgery (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 0.96-1.92), antiplatelet and/or anticoagulation therapy (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.56-1.14), and morbid obesity (OR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.74-1.19) were not associated with undergoing open tracheotomy when performed by any service, and Black race (OR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.44-0.71) was associated with lesser odds of an open approach being used. Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index score greater than 4 was associated with greater odds of both an otolaryngologist performing tracheotomy (OR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.03-1.53) and use of the open tracheotomy technique (OR, 1.48, 95% CI, 1.21-1.82).
Conclusions and Relevance: In this study, otolaryngologists were significantly more likely than other specialists to perform a tracheotomy for patients with history of neck surgery, morbid obesity, and ongoing anticoagulation therapy. These findings suggest that patients undergoing tracheotomy performed by an otolaryngologist are more likely to present with complex and challenging clinical characteristics.
