Wound Dehiscence after Posterior Sagittal Anorectoplasty in Children with Anorectal Malformations

Table 4

Multivariate logistic regression analysis of risk factors for wound dehiscence in 40 patients reconstructed with single-staged PSARP or limited PSARP.

	Single-staged reconstruction	Wound dehiscence	OR (95 CI)	P value
Total	40	17 (43)
Gender female	18 (45)	6 (35)	0.50 (0.14–1.81)	0.348
Cardiac malformation	10 (25)	7 (41)	3.73 (0.78–17.88)	0.066
Weight at surgery <3500g	15 (38)	5 (29)	1.56 (0.36–6.69)	0.716
Antibiotics <1 day	26 (65)	10 (59)	1.60 (0.43–5.94	0.521
Fasting 0–3 days	34 (85)	16 (94)	4.44 (0.47–42.18)	0.216

Values presented as the absolute number and percentage of patients, n (%); PSARP: posterior sagittal anorectoplasty; OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval.
