Temporal fluctuations of post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage

Purpose Although haemorrhage is a common and in some cases life-threatening complication after tonsillectomy, surprisingly little is known about the temporal fluctuations of the onset of bleeding. The purpose of this study was to assess circadian and seasonal rhythms of post-tonsillectomy haemorrhag...

description Purpose Although haemorrhage is a common and in some cases life-threatening complication after tonsillectomy, surprisingly little is known about the temporal fluctuations of the onset of bleeding. The purpose of this study was to assess circadian and seasonal rhythms of post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage (PTH) and potential ramifications to educate patients and health care staff. Methods This retrospective study carried out at a tertiary referral hospital included paediatric and adult patients requiring emergency surgery due to severe PTH between 1993 and 2019. Medical records were reviewed and patient demographics, details regarding the initial procedure, postoperative day of haemorrhage, and start time of emergency surgery were extracted. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal–Wallis test, Mann–Whitney U test, and Chi-square goodness of fit tests were used to detect potential differences. Results A total of 300 patients with severe PTH and subsequent emergency surgery were identified. The median postoperative duration until PTH was 6 (range:
