Key clinical point: Every 1 in 5 patients who underwent colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery with curative intent required emergency 30-day readmission, with some requiring extended readmission and surgical re-intervention, highlighting the benefits of additional post-discharge follow-ups in patients at a high risk for preventable readmissions.
Major finding: Overall, 20.5% (95% CI 20.1%-20.9%) of patients were readmitted within 30 days of discharge after CRC surgery with curative intent, with 12.2% (95% CI 11.9%-12.5%) and 1.9% (95% CI 1.8-2.1%) requiring post-discharge extended re-admission and surgical readmission, respectively. A very shortlength of stay (odds ratio [OR] 2.36; 95% CI 1.95-2.87) and an American Society of Anesthesiology score ≥IV (OR 2.21; 95% CI, 1.56-3.13) were the strongest predictors of emergency 30-day readmission.
Study details: The findings are from a retrospective study including 40,782 patients who had undergone colorectal tumor resection with curative intent.
Disclosures: This study was financially supported by local institutional sources. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
