Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVE: DESIGN: This is a retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS: This study was conducted at a single tertiary referral institution. PATIENTS: MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Perioperative morbidity, long-term pouch function, and pouch survival were the main outcome measures. RESULTS: One hundred patients (62 male) were studied. Forty-three percent were on steroids. There was no perioperative mortality, and 51 30-day complications occurred in 39 patients (39%). Median follow-up time was 5.9 years (range, 0.14-16.2 y). Pouch failure occurred in 3 patients (3%). The single variable that predicted 30-day morbidity was previous abdominal surgery (P = .03). Prednisone use, body mass index, age, ASA score, preoperative Model for End Stage Liver Disease score, and year of surgery were not significantly associated with short-term complications.
