Abstract
PURPOSE: Postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) is not uncommon in patients with ileostomy reversal. The appropriate index to predict the postoperative SSI in these individuals remains unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk factor for SSI after ileostomy reversal. METHODS: A consecutive cohort of 201 patients who underwent elective ileostomy reversal between January 2015 and January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: SSI group and non-SSI group. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify risk factors for postoperative SSI. RESULTS: Postoperative SSI occurred in 37 (18.4%) patients. Compared with the non-SSI group, patients in SSI group had higher incidence of nutrition risk (56.77% vs 39.02%, P = 0.049), higher C-reactive protein (CRP) level (10.81 ± 16.49 vs 4.86 ± 4.14 mg/L, P < 0.001), and longer postoperative hospital stay (13.08 ± 3.71 vs 7.47 ± 2.38 days, P < 0.001). By analyzing the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve, CRP have the value in predicting the occurrence of SSI. The areas under the ROC curves of CRP for SSI was 0.671 (95% confidence interval 0.568-0.774, P = 0.001) with an optimal diagnostic cut-off value of 8.0 mg/L. By the univariate and multivariate analyses, preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥ 8 mg/L(P < 0.001) and conventional linear closure method (P = 0.004) were independent risk factors for postoperative SSI. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative CRP levels can be served as a predictive index for postoperative SSI after stoma reversal. Purse-string closure technique is the treatment of choice to minimize stoma site SSI in patients with stoma reversal.
