| Core Tip |
Using national diagnosis-related group data from 78 Chilean public hospitals (2021-2024), this retrospective study evaluated 16599 pediatric discharges after surgery for adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Although same-day discharge predominated, recorded obesity was associated with a 67% longer expected length of stay in a zero-inflated negative binomial model, an association that remained robust after accounting for hospital-level clustering. These findings support incorporating obesity into perioperative risk stratification and developing standardized protocols for postoperative monitoring and discharge planning in children undergoing adenotonsillar surgery. |
