MULTICENTER STUDY
Long-term antireflux medication use following pediatric Nissen fundoplication.
Archives of Surgery 2008 September
HYPOTHESIS: Nissen fundoplication decreases the use of antireflux medications.
DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study using discharge abstract data and pharmacy data.
SETTING: Twelve regional Kaiser Permanente hospitals in southern California.
PATIENTS: Three hundred forty-two patients underwent Nissen fundoplication.
INTERVENTION: Nissen fundoplication.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Use of antireflux medications.
RESULTS: The number of patients requiring antireflux medications decreased from 233 patients (68.1%) before Nissen fundoplication to 197 (57.6%) after Nissen fundoplication. Of the 233 patients, 176 (75.6%) were restarted on antireflux medications within 1 year after Nissen fundoplication. Use of antireflux medication decreased in neurologically healthy patients but was unchanged in neurologically impaired children.
CONCLUSIONS: Use of antireflux medication decreased after Nissen fundoplication. Neurologically healthy children showed the biggest decrease in antireflux medication use after Nissen fundoplication.
