However, recent studies evaluating the evolution of clinical scenarios and patient populations for which stenting is performed in real-world practice are lacking. Methods: We assessed colonic stent utilization patterns in a tertiary care academic medical center over the past 10 years. We analyzed the demographics and patient and procedure characteristics of the initial (first half of study period) and latter (second half of the study period) procedures to assess trends over time using standard descriptive statistics. Results: Our analysis was notable due to its provision of some novel insights. The frequency of colonic stent placement procedures increased significantly over time by comparison of the procedure volume for the initial 5-year interval (22 colonic stent procedures) relative to the latter 5-year interval (49 colonic stent procedures) (p = 0.03). The median age of patients who underwent colonic stent placement was significantly lower in the latter 5 years, compared with the initial 5 years of the study period (mean of 81.41 vs. 58.73 years, respectively, p &lt; 0.001). The increased diversity of indications for colonic stent placement was also noted over time. Conclusions: Our data highlight the evolution of colonic stent placement in tertiary care practice over time and are notable for some interesting trends, including the increased utilization of colonic stent placement over time, the broadening of indications for colonic stent placement to include benign indications, and lower patient age at the time of colonic stent placement over time. These findings will help inform the clinical practice of colonic stent placement and provide a foundation to guide future research on the topic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers16193309","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,27]],"date-time":"2024-09-27T09:16:10Z","timestamp":1727428570000},"page":"3309","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Tertiary Care Center Trends in Colonic Stent Placement over the Past Decade"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Wassem Y.","family":"Juakiem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA"}]},{"given":"Kelita","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Ofosu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA"}]},{"given":"Daryl","family":"Ramai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Endoscopy, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston, MA 02115, USA"}]},{"given":"Alana","family":"Persaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, SUNY Downstate, Brooklyn, NY 11203, USA"}]},{"given":"James H.","family":"Tabibian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adventist Health Glendale, Glendale, CA 91206, USA"},{"name":"David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2239-1650","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduardo","family":"Rodrigues-Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, Centro Hospitalar S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o, Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Mohit","family":"Girotra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Digestive Health Institute, Swedish Medical Center, Seattle, WA 98104, USA"}]},{"given":"Monique T.","family":"Barakat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA"},{"name":"Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Lucille Packard Children\u2019s Hospital, Stanford University Medical Center, Palo Alto, CA 94305, USA"},{"name":"Medicine and Pediatrics, Divisions of Adult\/Pediatric Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Stanford University Medical Center, 300 Pasteur Drive, Stanford, CA 94305, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2006.05.017","article-title":"Colorectal stenting for colonic obstruction: The indications, complications, effectiveness and outcome\u20145 year review","volume":"60","author":"Athreya","year":"2006","journal-title":"Eur.
