Do specific ERAS components (multimodal pain control, limited opioid use, and early mobilization) reduce length of stay and readmission?
Multimodal pain control, limited opioid use, and early mobilization are the most critical ERAS components for reducing length of stay and readmission.
While increasing compliance with ERAS protocols and minimally invasive procedures decrease LOS and readmission overall, a subset of components-multimodal pain control, limited opioid use, and early mobilization-was most associated with decreased LOS and readmission. This study provides guidance on which ERAS elements should be emphasized.
