Objective To compare the intraoperative, postoperative indicators and economic costs of varicose veins patients between day surgery and inpatient surgery, and to explore the safety and benefit of large-scale varicose veins day surgery in China.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to collect varicose veins patients in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2016 to January 2019. Patients were divided into the day surgery group and the inpatient surgery group, and the subjects were matched by the propensity score matching (PSM) method according to the basic characteristic data. Intraoperative and postoperative indicators and economic costs were compared between the two groups.Results A total of 1 806 varicose vein patients were enrolled in the study, and 502 patients were enrolled in each of the two groups after PSM matching. After matching, there were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, nationality, marriage status, working status, residence, number of operative legs, medical insurance type, grade of American Society of Anesthesiologists, and complications (including hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and respiratory system diseases) between the two groups (P>0.05), which were comparable and the differences were not statistically significant. Compared with the inpatient surgery group, the day surgery group had shorter hospital stay, less intraoperative infusion volume, lower total cost, bed cost, nursing cost, drug cost, examination cost, medical insurance, and out-of-pocket (P<0.05). Conclusion The varicose veins day surgery is not only safe and effective, but also can reduce the medication insurance payment.
