OBJECTIVE: While management protocols of pediatric esophageal foreign bodies (EFBs) are well-delineated, resource utilization can be improved. This study's objectives were to explore hospital charges/costs for pediatric patients who present with EFBs and to identify patient risk factors associated with esophageal injury.
METHODS: A retrospective chart review of patients undergoing aerodigestive foreign body removal at a tertiary-care children's hospital from 2018 to 2021 was conducted. Data collected included demographics, medical history, presenting symptoms, EFB type, surgical findings, and hospital visit charges/costs.
RESULTS: 203 patients were included. 178 of 203 (87.7%) patients were admitted prior to operation. Unwitnessed EFB ingestion (p < 0.001, OR = 15.1, 95% CI = 5.88-38.6), experiencing symptoms for longer than a week (p < 0.001, OR = 11.4, 95% CI = 3.66-38.6) and the following presenting symptoms increased the odds of esophageal injury: dysphagia (p = 0.04, OR = 2.45, 95% CI = 1.02-5.85), respiratory distress (p = 0.005, OR = 15.5, 95% CI = 2.09-181), coughing (p < 0.001, OR = 10.1, 95% CI = 3.73-28.2), decreased oral intake (p = 0.001, OR = 6.60, 95% CI = 2.49-17.7), fever (p = 0.001, OR = 5.52, 95% CI = 1.46-19.6), and congestion (p = 0.001, OR = 8.15, 95% CI = 2.42-27.3). None of the 51 asymptomatic patients had esophageal injury. The median total charges during the encounter was $20,808 (interquartile range: $18,636-$24,252), with operating room (OR) (median: $5,396; 28.2%) and inpatient admission (median: $5,520; 26.0%) contributing the greatest percentage.
CONCLUSIONS: Asymptomatic patients with EFBs did not experience esophageal injury. The OR and inpatient observation accounted for the greatest percentage of the hospital charges. These results support developing a potential algorithm to triage asymptomatic patients to be managed on a same-day outpatient basis to improve the value of care.
