To find out the 30-day readmission rate for different surgical procedures and determine the causes for readmissions.
An audit report.
Department of Surgery, The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, in the calendar year 2014.
Records were retrospectively reviewed for 30-day readmission rate and their cause in general surgical patients who underwent a general surgical procedure at The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, in the year 2014.
Out of 217 (6.4%) readmissions in 3,387 patients, more than 50% unplanned readmissions were avoidable. The highest readmission rate was after placement of feeding tubes (28.5%).
More than half of the readmissions could have been prevented by proper patient/attendant education, good communication and provision of nursing services to these patients beyond the hospital.
