Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aim The purpose of this study is to investigate course of illness leading to reoperation after primary anti-reflux surgery and investigate the utilization of anti-reflux treatment, both medical and surgical, in the period 2000-2017

Methods The study is a two-part register-based cohort study based on data from The National Patient Registry, The Civic Registry and Danish Anaesthesia Database in the period 1996-2017. The two individual parts of the study concerns the same population.

The population is defined as all adult Danish patients undergoing anti-reflux surgery (Nomesco: KJBC00, KJBC01, KJBC02, KJBW96, KJBW97) from 2000-2017 identified from The National Patient Register.

Age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index at date of surgery and length of stay in relation to any surgery and any surgical or endoscopic procedure performed after anti-reflux surgery (including diagnosis 30 days postoperatively to establish possible morbidity) are derived from the National Patient Registry.

ASA-score, weight, height, use of alcohol or tobacco and priority of any surgery (emergency or planned) during the study period are retrieved from The Danish Anaesthesia Database. From the Civic Register, data on mortality in the study period are retrieved.

Information on the use of pharmacological treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease on population level is retrieved from MEDSTAT and data on population size on population level are retrieved from Statistics Denmark.

Statistical analysis

1. Course of illness leading to reoperative anti-reflux surgery Data will be analyzed using STATA15. Descriptive analysis of age, sex, comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index, ASA-score, BMI, alcohol/tobacco use), complications to surgery, rate of endoscopic dilation and mortality comparing patients with only primary anti-reflux surgery and patients with reoperation during the study period, will be performed using Student's t-test, Chi2-test and Mann-Whitney-U test.

Logistic regression will be performed with reoperation (laparoscopic, open or other) as primary outcome and age, sex, comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index, ASA-score, BMI, alcohol/tobacco use), complications to surgery and endoscopic or surgical procedure during study period as independent variables. If the number of patients is sufficient, subanalysis will be performed with emergency reoperation as dependent variable/outcome.

Secondary analysis will be performed using Cox-regression investigating time to reoperation with age, sex, comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index, ASA-score, BMI, alcohol/tobacco use), complications to surgery and endoscopic or surgical procedure during study period as independent variables.
2. Utilization of treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. The rate of anti-reflux surgery per 100.000 inhabitants for each year during the study period will be calculated using census data from Statistics Denmark. From MEDSAT the rate of use of pharmacological anti-reflux treatment per 100.000 inhabitants will be calculated using abovementioned census-data. Trends in the utilization of surgery are investigated with trend-analysis in the form of Poisson-regression alternatively negative binominal regression.
