Readmission destination and risk of mortality after major surgery: an observational cohort study
Patients who are readmitted after major surgical procedures have improved survival if they return to the same hospital where their surgery took place, finds a study.
Readmission to the index hospital was associated with a 26% lower 90-day mortality risk than readmission to a non-index hospital.
These findings may have implications for regional centralization of surgical care, the authors say.
