The Association between Bleeding Disorders and Postoperative Complications Following Operative Treatment of Distal Radius Fracture

Background  While previous studies have investigated the association between bleeding disorders and outcomes with hip or knee surgeries, no studies have investigated the association between bleeding disorders and outcomes in upper extremity surgery. Questions/Purposes  The purpose of this study was to investigate if a past history of bleeding disorders is associated with which, if any postoperative complications for patients receiving distal radius fracture open reduction internal fixation. Patients and Methods  Patients undergoing operative treatment for distal radius fracture from 2007 to 2018 were identified in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Patients were stratified into two cohorts: patients with a bleeding disorder and patients without a bleeding disorder. In this analysis, 30-day postoperative complications were assessed, as well as mortality, extended length of stay, reoperation, and readmission. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results  Of the 16,489 total patients undergoing operative treatment for distal radius fracture, 16,047 patients (97.3%) did not have a bleeding disorder, whereas 442 (2.7%) had a bleeding disorder. Following adjustment on multivariate analyses, an increased risk of postoperative transfusion requirement (odds ratio [OR] 17.437; p  = 0.001), extended length of hospital stay more than 3 days (OR 1.564; p  = 0.038), and readmission (OR 2.515; p  < 0.001) were seen in patients with a bleeding disorder compared to those without a bleeding disorder. Conclusion  History of bleeding disorders is an independent risk factor for transfusions, extended length of stay, and readmission. We recommend a multidisciplinary team approach to addressing bleeding disorders before patients receive distal radius fracture open reduction internal fixation. Level of Evidence  Level III, retrospective study.
