Key result
Demographic and clinical characteristics including age, employment, caregiver presence, financial status, and first hospitalization significantly predicted discharge readiness (P < .001).
Why the study?
Postcraniotomy individuals require monitoring due to direct effects on brain function and constraints from underlying illness, motivating an examination of the relationship between their characteristics and readiness for discharge.
Population
150 postcraniotomy individuals

Associations between characteristics and discharge readiness should not change practice; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Cross-Sectional (n=150)
p-value: p=< .001
Postcraniotomy patients have moderate readiness for discharge but low discharge-related knowledge, highlighting the need for individualized discharge planning.
Baksi et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Postcraniotomy (n=150). Demographic and clinical characteristics was evaluated on Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale score (p=< .001). Demographic and clinical characteristics including age, employment, caregiver presence, financial status, and first hospitalization significantly predicted discharge readiness (P < .001).
