Abstract

This study aims to assess factors associated with preventable readmissions after colorectal resection. All readmissions following colorectal resection from May 2013 to May 2016 at an academic medical center were reviewed. Readmissions that could be prevented were identified. Factors associated with preventable readmission were assessed using logistic regression. Of 686 patients discharged during the study period, there were 75 patients (11%) with unplanned readmission. Twenty-nine readmissions (39%) were preventable-these readmissions were due to dehydration or acute kidney injury, pain, ostomy complications, and gastrointestinal bleeding. On regression analysis, the strongest preoperative risk factors associated with preventable readmission were urgent or emergent operation (OR 4.0, 95% CI 1.6-9.9), recent myocardial infarction (OR 2.9, 95% CI 1.0-9.0), total or subtotal colectomy (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.1-7.3), and American Society of Anesthesiologist score ≥ 3 (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.0-4.7). Intraoperative risk factors associated with preventable readmission included intraoperative stapler complication (OR 24.2, 95% CI 1.5-397). Postoperative risk factors associated with preventable readmission included postoperative arrhythmia (OR 5.6,...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
