Temporal Trends and Mortality in Tracheobronchial Stenting in the United States: a national cohort study

Puntos clave

This research examines temporal trends in tracheobronchial stenting incidence and associated mortality rates in patients with central airway obstruction (CAO).
Analyzed national cohort data to track incidence and mortality rates over time.
Investigated regional variations in outcomes related to tracheobronchial stenting.
Defined indications for the procedure based on observed trends.
Reported an increase in both the incidence of tracheobronchial stenting and its associated in-hospital mortality.
Highlighted significant regional variations in stenting outcomes across the United States.
Emphasized the necessity for improved outcome tracking and indication definitions.

Resumen

Tracheobronchial stenting incidence and mortality for CAO have both increased over time. Regional variation and high in-hospital mortality highlight the need to better define indications and track outcomes of tracheobronchial stenting in patients with CAO.
