目的:探讨社区层面的社会脆弱性对小儿扁桃体切除术结果的影响。
方法:这项单中心回顾性队列研究包括2019年8月至2020年8月对1至18岁儿童进行的扁桃体切除术。地理信息系统被用来对地址进行地理编码,和空间覆盖用于为每位患者分配人口普查道级别的社会脆弱性指数(SVI)得分。对于分类变量,采用双侧皮尔逊卡方检验,而对于连续变量,配对t检验,means,并计算标准偏差。使用二项逻辑回归对SVI及其四个子主题进行了调查,以确定其对T&A后并发症和再入院的影响。
结果:该研究包括397名患者,52例出现并发症(13.1%),33例(8.3%)因并发症需要再次入院.控制年龄,性别,种族,保险状况,手术适应症,合并症,肥胖,和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停,术后并发症与高总SVI相关(比值比[OR]5.086,95%置信区间[CI]1.128-22.938),高社会经济脆弱性(SVI主题1,OR6.003,95%CI1.270-28.385),和高房屋构成脆弱性(SVI主题2,OR6.340,95%CI1.275-31.525)。再次入院也与高总体SVI(10.149,95%CI1.293-79.647)和高住房/交通脆弱性(SVI主题4,OR5.657,95%CI1.089-29.396)相关。
结论:社区层面的社会脆弱性与原本健康的儿童手术效果较差有关,建议以社区为基础的干预目标。由于风险增加,这可能对术前决策有影响,治疗计划,和临床随访。

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of neighborhood-level social vulnerability on pediatric tonsillectomy outcomes.
METHODS: This single-center retrospective cohort study included tonsillectomies performed on children aged 1 to 18 between August 2019 and August 2020. Geographic information systems were used to geocode addresses, and spatial overlays were used to assign census-tract level social vulnerability index (
SVI) scores to each patient. For categorical variables, two-sided Pearson chi-square tests were used, whereas for continuous variables, paired t-tests, means, and standard deviations were calculated.
SVI and its four subthemes were investigated using binomial logistic regressions to determine their impact on post-T&A complications and readmissions.
RESULTS: The study included 397 patients, with 52 having complications (13.1%) and 33 (8.3%) requiring readmissions due to their complications. Controlling for age, gender, race, insurance status, surgical indication, comorbidities, obesity, and obstructive sleep apnea, postoperative complications were associated with high overall
SVI (odds ratio [OR] 5.086, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.128-22.938), high socioeconomic vulnerability (SVI theme 1, OR 6.003, 95% CI 1.270-28.385), and high house composition vulnerability (SVI theme 2, OR 6.340, 95% CI 1.275-31.525). Readmissions were also associated with high overall
SVI (10.149, 95% CI 1.293-79.647) and high housing/transportation vulnerability (
SVI theme 4, OR 5.657, 95% CI 1.089-29.396).
CONCLUSIONS: Social vulnerability at the neighborhood level is linked to poorer surgical outcomes in otherwise healthy children, suggesting a target for community-based interventions. Because of the increased risk, it may have implications for preoperative decision-making, treatment plans, and clinic follow-ups.
