Few studies have examined the long\u2010term risk of IH. As OAAAR is often performed in younger patients requiring durable outcomes, understanding lifetime IH risk is important for preoperative counselling. This study aimed to determine the lifetime risk of IH following OAAAR.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective review of patients who underwent OAAAR at Auckland City Hospital between January 2004 and December 2008 was conducted. Patients who died within 30\u2009days of surgery, who resided outside New Zealand, or who had incomplete medical records were excluded. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was performed to assess the influence of demographic, anthropometric, disease, and treatment factors on IH development.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Two hundred and twenty\u2010six patients were identified, of whom 75.7% were male and 85.0% of European ethnicity. 90.7% of the cohort were deceased at the time of analysis. The median follow\u2010up amongst survivors was 18.2\u2009years. In total, 19% of patients developed an incisional hernia after OAAAR.
