OBJECTIVE: Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage is a common risk after tonsillectomy. The goal of this study is to analyze the rate of recurrent PTH (R-PTH), and to determine potential risk factors for recurrent bleeding.
METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of patients <18 years of age evaluated at a tertiary care pediatric hospital for PTH. Risk factors for patients with R-PTH episodes were evaluated, when compared to patients with a single bleeding episode. An assessment of healthcare utilization in those with R-PTH was performed.
RESULTS: Among 18,819 tonsillectomies performed in the study period, 382 (2.0 %) had a PTH. Of these, 42 patients (11.0 %) experienced R-PTH: 35 patients (9.2 %) with two bleeding episodes, and 7 patients (1.8 %) with three. Patients with R-PTH were male (n = 26, 61.9 %), Hispanic/Latino (n = 19, 45.2 %), and English-speaking (n = 33, 78.6 %). The overall risk of R-PTH following tonsillectomy was 0.2 %, and the relative risk of R-PTH after an initial PTH was 5.4 times. None of the factors analyzed were found to have a significant association with R-PTH, although a greater proportion of patients with R-PTH were found to have a history of chronic tonsillitis (21.4 % vs 14.4 %). Healthcare utilization, an aggregate measurement of primary care, otolaryngology, telemedicine, and emergency department visits unrelated to PTH, was significantly higher in R-PTH patients (2.5 vs. 1.8 occurrences, p = 0.023).
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of R-PTH was small (0.2 %), although those patients with an initial PTH had a relative risk of 5.4 for a R-PTH episode. No clear risk factors for R-PTH were identified. Increased healthcare utilization was noted in those with R-PTH.
