Abstract :Purpose To compare the length of hospital stay insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LHS); and complications between mini-facelift insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MFL); and modified Blair incisions insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MBI); for adult patients undergoing parotid abscess drainage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PAD);. Materials and Methods A retrospective cohort study design was utilized comprising 2 groups of healthy adult patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(American Society of Anesthesiology [ASA] status I-II); who underwent PAD during a 7-year interval. The primary predictor variable was incision type insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MFL vs. MBI);. The primary outcomes were LHS and adverse complications resulting from the incision type. Other study variables were grouped into demographic, clinical, microbiological, and therapeutic categories. Difference in the cohort characteristics were analyzed using appropriate descriptive and uni- and bivariate statistics. Multivariate logistic regression was used to measure the effect of the incision type had on the LHS and adverse complication rates. Results The sample included 120 subjects insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(50% females); with a mean age of 41.7±18.3 years. Patients in the MFL group were hospitalized for 8.2±7.7 days, and the other group stayed in the hospital for 10.2±8 days insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(adjusted odd ratio [OR] 1.19, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.52 to 2.7; p=0.8);. In comparison with MBI, MFL did not significantly increase complication risks in term of facial paralysis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(adjusted OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.06 to 15.29; p=1.0); and necessity of re-operation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(adjusted OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.1 to 3.8; p=0.7);. Conclusion Given no different LHS and complication risks, MFL can replace MBI for ASA I-II adult patients undergoing PAD.
