Evaluation of Unplanned Hospital Readmissions After Major Urologic Inpatient Surgery in the Era of Accountable Care.
To provide a multi-institutional analysis of clinical factors predicting unplanned hospital readmission after major inpatient urologic surgery. ⋯ Readmission after inpatient urologic surgery occurs at a rate of 5.8%, with cystectomy and urinary diversion demonstrating the highest rates. Major and minor postoperative complications were the most substantial predictors of readmission. These results may guide risk reduction initiatives to prevent readmissions after major urologic surgery.
