What are the predictors of early readmission after laparoscopic colon and rectal operations?
Inflammatory bowel disease and pulmonary comorbidities are independent risk factors for early readmission after laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
David O’Brien (2007) conducted a cohort in Laparoscopic colon and rectal operations (n=787). Inflammatory bowel disease and pulmonary comorbidity vs. Absence of these comorbidities was evaluated on Readmission within 30 days of discharge. Inflammatory bowel disease and pulmonary comorbidity were independent risk factors for 30-day readmission, which occurred in 10% of patients after elective laparoscopic intestinal surgery.
