INTRODUCTION: Information about condition(s) being present at time of surgery (PATOS) in the American College of Surgeons (ASC) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database can influence the postoperative complication rates after liver surgeries. Here, we compare the postoperative complication rates with and without taking condition(s) being PATOS into account.

METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the ACS NSQIP Participant User Files (PUFs) from 2015 through 2019. We analyzed rates of eight different postoperative complications: superficial surgical site infection (SSI), deep SSI, organ space SSI, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, ventilator, sepsis, and septic shock. In addition, we calculated the percent change in event rates after taking into account whether a condition is PATOS.

RESULTS: Of the 22,463 patients in the ACS NSQIP PUFs for liver surgery, 334 (1.49%) had one or more conditions PATOS. The percentages of patients with PATOS events ranged from 2.03% for superficial SSI to 14.74% for sepsis. For all complications, event rates declined when taking condition(s) PATOS into account. From 2015 through 2019, the observed-to-expected ratios for most complications remained unchanged.

CONCLUSION: Whether a condition is PATOS is important in reporting postoperative complication rates for patients undergoing liver surgery. When taking whether a condition is PATOS into account, we demonstrated an overall decrease in event rates across all eight postoperative complications.
