Background As an important evaluation index after cervical surgery, ninety-day readmission is gradually being valued. Our study collected the latest published relevant studies, analyzed the risk factors of ninety-day readmission after cervical surgery, and continuously improved the postoperative rehabilitation plan. This study focuses on two research hotspots: (1) What is the rate of ninety-day readmission after cervical surgery? (2) What are the risk factors affecting the ninety-day readmission? Methods Based on the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases, this study searched for studies about ninety-day readmission after cervical surgery, from the establishment of the database to August 1, 2022. The evaluation indicators are as follows: age, American Society of Anesthesiology physical status (ASA) class, diabetes, hypertension, chronic heart diseases, chronic lung diseases, income, and payments for hospitalization. The meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4. Results Seven studies with 222,490 participants were eligible for our meta-analysis. The analysis displayed that there were statistically significant differences in the age (MD = − 4.60, 95%CI − 4.89–4.31, p < 0.001), diabetes (OR = 0.60, 95%CI 0.56–0.64, p < 0.00001), hypertension (OR = 0.40, 95%CI 0.30–0.54, p < 0.00001), chronic heart diseases (OR = 0.05, 95%CI 0.01–0.19, p < 0.00001), chronic lung diseases (OR = 0.46, 95%CI 0.43–0.49, p < 0.00001), income (OR = 2.85, 95%CI 1.82–4.46, p < 0.00001), and payments for hospitalization (OR = 2.29, 95%CI 1.14–4.59, p = 0.02) between readmission and no readmission groups. In terms of the ASA, there was no difference on the ninety-day readmission (p = 0.78). Conclusion Age, diabetes, hypertension, chronic heart diseases, chronic lung diseases, income, and payments for hospitalization are the risk factors of ninety‐day readmission following cervical surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
