Factors Related to the Timing of Intestinal Stoma Closure and Outcomes after the Surgery

Patients of stoma caused by the colorectal disease or trauma are increasing and most of the patients are keen to have their stoma closed as early as possible to lower the burdens in their life. However, stoma often associated with complications such as wound. The interval between constructing and closing of stoma is still controversial.
This study will figure out a way to predict an appropriate timing of stoma closure to get better outcome by using NHI database, from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008, in Taiwan.
In 463 stoma closure patients, mean age: 65.94 years, ratio of male to female: 1.66, 70.19% Colostomy, 29.81% Ileostomy, mean timing: 156.73 days, mean length of stay: 10.81 days, mean fees: 57,698.06 TWD, only one death in hospital, 35 readmission within 30 days after discharged; with £\ = 0.05 level, the timing is significant in comorbidity, primary diagnosis; the outcomes are associated with the timing of stoma closure, comorbidity, patients¡¦ age and gender, hospital ownership and physician annual volume.
Through this study, a perfect timing of stoma closure should be determined by the characteristics of patient and physician. Physicians could predict the timing through the stratified analysis and well organize the resource of hospital to improve the quality of medical care.
