Kelley KM, et al. - Researchers sought to determine the factors contributing to readmission after emergency general surgery. The Virginia Health Information database yielded 121,223 records from January 2011- June 2016 that met initial inclusion criteria; after exclusions, 54,372 remained. They identified 5,050 readmissions in 30 days and 7,896 readmissions in 90 days. Factors significant in contributing to 30-day readmission were the length of stay (LOS), discharge location, comorbidities. For 90-day readmission, insurance, LOS, discharge location, and more comorbidities were the significant contributing factors. They observed very high rates of 90-day readmission in correlation to discharge to rehab, SNF or with home health.
