Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 09/23/09
Riall TS et al. – The authors study demonstrates overall 30–day and 1–year readmission rates of 16% and 53%. The majority of early readmissions were related to postoperative complications but not related to patient and tumor characteristics. Complications causing early readmission are a cause of early mortality and are potentially preventable. Conversely, late readmissions are related to disease progression and are a marker of early mortality and not the cause.
