PURPOSE: Debate exists on whether patients with Hirschsprung Disease (HD) should undergo immediate resection during their newborn hospitalization or undergo a staged procedure. This study sought to compare postoperative outcomes among newborns receiving immediate versus staged surgery for rectosigmoid HD. METHODS: The Nationwide Readmission Database was queried (2016-2018) for newborns with HD who underwent surgical resection during their newborn hospitalization (immediate) versus planned readmission (staged). Those who did not receive rectal biopsy or had long-segment or total colonic HD were excluded. A propensity score-matched analysis (PSMA) of patients receiving either surgery was constructed utilizing >70 comorbidities. Outcomes were analyzed using standard statistical tests. RESULTS: 1,048 newborns with HD were identified (56% immediate vs. 44% staged). Staged resection was associated with higher total hospitalization cost ($56,642 vs. $50,166 immediate), p = 0.014. After PSMA, the staged cohort was more likely to require home healthcare at discharge and experience unplanned readmission (40% vs. 23%). These patients experienced more gastrointestinal complications (40% vs. 22%) on readmission, especially Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (35% vs. 20%). CONCLUSION: Newborns receiving staged procedures for HD experience higher rates of unplanned readmission complications and incur higher hospitalization costs. This information should be utilized to defray healthcare utilization costs for newborns with HD. TYPE OF STUDY: Retrospective Comparative. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
