Key result
Nursing-delivered interventions generally decreased hospital readmission rates among patients post coronary artery bypass graft surgery, with 4 of 8 included studies reporting a significant reduction.
Why the study?
Hospital readmission after CABG surgery is an international concern, but few studies have focused on the role of nurses in reducing readmission rates.
Do nursing-delivered interventions reduce hospital readmission rates in adult patients post CABG surgery?
Systematic Review
Do nursing-delivered interventions reduce hospital readmission rates in adult patients post CABG surgery?
Nursing-delivered interventions, particularly those involving advanced practice nurses and continuity of care, can be effective in reducing hospital readmission rates among patients post CABG surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support targeted nursing interventions post-CABG; mixed trial results leave optimal components open.
Introduction: Despite that hospital readmission after CABG surgery became an international concern, fewstudies have focused on nurse’s role in the reduction of the readmission rate.The purpose: This reviewaims to assess the effectiveness of nursing interventions that are reported to reduce patient’s readmissionpost CABG surgery. Methods: a systematic review following the PRISM Aprotocol was operated. Relevantstudies were retrieved from two main electronic databases. Results: Eight studies met the inclusion criteria.The retrieved studies were conducted to identify the effectiveness of nursing interventions on readmissionrate among patients post CABG surgery. Different types of nursing interventions were identified andgenerally, it decreased the readmission rate among patients in most of the studies. Conclusion: Differentnursing interventions have been reported to reduce readmission rate after coronary artery bypass graftsurgery. However, a better reporting of these nursing interventions and linking it with nursing staff trainingand qualification is recommended.This review is registered at PROSPERO; the registration number is: CRD42020143206

Shaikha et al. (2021) conducted a systematic review in Post Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. Nursing delivered interventions vs. Usual care was evaluated on Readmission rate. Nursing-delivered interventions generally decreased hospital readmission rates among patients post coronary artery bypass graft surgery, with 4 of 8 included studies reporting a significant reduction.
