Predictors for 30‐day readmission after pulmonary resection for lung cancer

Abstract

The factors predictive for readmission can help design individualized outpatient follow-up plans and programs for the reduction of readmissions.

Determining the most important factors in hospital readmission following surgery for lung cancer

“…Among the patients, 3,237 (8.1%) were readmitted within 30 days of discharge. This is a reliable value, which is similar to that present in other recently published data, with a range of 6.2-10.5% (3)(4)(5).…”

Les réadmissions après résection pulmonaire en France : la base de données du PMSI

“…Les facteurs pronostiques rapportés dans la plupart des études sont : le sexe masculin, la pneumonectomie, le score de Charlson élevé, la survenue de complications lors de la première hospitalisation, la durée du séjour hospitalier, le type de centre et le volume chirurgical [2,3,[14][15][16][18][19][20][21][22]. Dans notre travail, nous pouvons observer que les patients âgés avaient un risque plus faible de réadmissions que les plus jeunes, sans que l'on puisse pour autant fournir une explication.…”

Intraoperative haemodynamics and postoperative intensive care unit admission in older patients with cancer

“…The primary outcome of interest was admission to the ICU within 30 days after surgery. This length of time has been used in various studies across cancer and non-cancer surgical fields to assess for postoperative complications (Fisher et al 2017, Goel et al 2019, Quero-Valenzuela et al 2018, Wu et al 2019).
