Abstract
To access the relationship between residential status and outcomes in surgical acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) patients.
Retrospective chart review of 153 AMI patients admitted to our institution between 2007 and 2021. Residential median income and Rural-Urban Commuting Area (RUCA) code were used as residential proxies.
Being of the female sex (odds ratio [OR] = 3.116 [1.276-7.609] P = 0.013) and having a vascular intervention performed (OR = 2.927 [1.087-7.883] P = 0.034) were both associated with a threefold increase in the risk of mortality. Increased age (OR = 1.037 [1.002-1.073] P = 0.039), elevated blood urea nitrogen (OR = 1.032 [1.012-1.051] P = 0.001), and living in higher residential income area (OR = 1.049 [1.009-1.091] P = 0.017) had a small, but statistically significant, increased risk of mortality. Patients in higher median income areas were less likely to undergo colonic resection (OR = 0.953 [0.911-0.997] P = 0.038) and tended to have a lower likelihood of receiving an ostomy (OR = 0.963 [0.927-1] P = 0.051). Being from urban or rural areas was not associated with mortality (OR = 1.565 [0.647-3.790] P = 0.321, although rural patients were more likely to undergo colon resection (OR = 2.183 [0.938-5.079] P = 0.070). Furthermore, rural patients were much more likely to be readmitted than urban dwellers (OR = 4.700 [1.022-21.618] P = 0.047).
AMI patients living in rural or small-town areas were more likely to be readmitted and tended to undergo colonic resection. Patients residing in higher income areas had a slightly higher risk of mortality but tended to be less likely to require ostomy or colonic resection. These findings suggest a potential need for postoperative care initiatives focused on AMI patients living in rural and lower income areas.
