OBJECTIVE: To determine whether COVID-19 is a risk factor for developing airway stenosis in intubated patients.
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case-control study with planned chart review.
SETTING: Temple University Health Systems hospitals in Philadelphia, PA.
METHODS: Chart review of patients 18 to 90 years old diagnosed with COVID-19 who underwent endotracheal intubation and had a post-extubation CT scan at our institution between February 2020 and December 2022 was performed. Patients without COVID-19 matched for age, sex, and BMI who were intubated within one year served as a control group. Outcome variables included endoscopic and radiographic evidence of airway stenosis. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using Chi-squared and unpaired two-tailed T-test analyses for cohort comparison.
RESULTS: One hundred five COVID-positive and 101 COVID-negative met inclusion criteria. The mean age was 58.6 years. Mean endotracheal tube size was 8.05 for COVID-positive and 7.72 for COVID-negative patients (P = .0075). Twenty-six (24.76%) COVID-positive and 45 (44.55%) COVID-negative patients had COPD (P = .0016). Length of intubation was 8.8 days in COVID-positive patients and 3.5 days for COVID-negative patients (P < .0001). Thirty-five (33.98%) COVID-positive and 1 (0.99%) COVID-negative patient were ventilated while prone (P = .0002). Seventy-eight (75%) COVID-positive and 38 (41.76%) COVID-negative patients received intravenous steroids (P = .0001). Mean length of stay was 38.81 days for COVID-positive and 17.16 days for COVID-negative patients (P < .0004). Six (5.77%) COVID-positive and 2 (1.3%) COVID-negative patients developed airway stenosis (P = .202).
CONCLUSION: Patients with COVID-19 infection were not at an increased risk for intubation-related airway stenosis.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
