Puccia R, Ramamurthi A, Grond SE, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective review to identify factors associated with 30-day hospital readmissions following head and neck cancer surgery and to determine whether these readmissions were preventable. Between 2015 and 2018, patients readmitted within 30 days after undergoing surgery for cancers of the head and neck were identified. Over a 3-year period, 26 patients who had head and neck cancer resection with or without reconstruction were readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. A reasonable and feasible change in management could have prevented hospital readmission for a subset of patients readmitted within 30 days of head and neck cancer surgery. The high mortality rate emphasizes the importance of better understanding this patient population.
