"Reported risk factors for the development of PSH are old age (> 60 years), sarcopenic obesity, history of abdominal hernia, malnutrition, chronic steroid use, and factors increasing intra-abdominal pressure (i.e. chronic cough, constipation, prostatism, and ascites) 4. COPD (chronic coughing leading to increased abdominal pressure), prolonged surgery time and larger diameter of the abdominal wall defect at the ostomy site are the most important independent predictors of the PSH development 4."
