Inflammatory bowel disease and pulmonary comorbidities are independent risk factors for 30-day readmission after elective laparoscopic colon and rectal operations.
O’Brien et al. (2007) conducted a cohort in Elective laparoscopic colon and rectal operations (n=787). Inflammatory bowel disease vs. Absence of inflammatory bowel disease was evaluated on Readmission to the hospital within 30 days of discharge (OR 2.438, 95% CI 1.457-4.808, p=0.001). Inflammatory bowel disease (OR 2.438) and pulmonary comorbidities were identified as independent risk factors for unplanned hospital readmission within 30 days after laparoscopic intestinal surgery.
