IntroductionData on the safety of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) are limited in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). We used a multi-institutional surgical registry to examine ESS outcomes in children with CF.MethodsThe 2014–2015 American College of Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatric database was queried for patients age <18 years undergoing elective ESS. Prolonged hospital stay (>1 day), 30-day readmission, and 30-day unplanned reoperation were compared according to presence of CF diagnosis.ResultsThe data included 213 children with CF (age 10 ± 5 years, 105/108 male/female) and 821 children without CF (age 10 ± 5 years, 504/317 male/female). CF patients were more likely than non-CF patients to require prolonged hospital stay (30% vs. 9%, p < 0.001), yet had similar rates of readmission (6% vs. 4%; p = 0.189) and reoperation (0 vs. 1%; p = 0.133). All readmissions but one among CF patients were unrelated to ESS. In the non-CF cohort, reasons for ESS-related readmissions included recurrence of sinusitis, postoperative pain, and bleeding.ConclusionsWe demonstrate the safety of ESS in the largest cohort of children with CF reviewed to date. Multi-institutional review of ESS safety may contribute to monitoring expansion of this intervention in children with CF.
