Reduction mammoplasty is becoming more commonly performed in the pediatric population yet the risk factors for complications have not been well-studied.

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between preoperative patient characteristics and postoperative complications in a large population of pediatric patients undergoing reduction mammoplasty.

Pediatric patients undergoing reduction mammoplasty were identified within the 2012 to 2019 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database for cross-sectional study.

The predictor variables were age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, chronic steroid use, time under anesthesia, and operative time, and the primary outcome was a 30-day postoperative surgical site-related complication.

Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify a relationship between predictor variable and primary outcome.
