Thirty - and 90 - Day Readmissions after Treatment of Traumatic Subdural Hematoma: A National Trend Analysis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Andrew Koo presents findings from a study on readmissions in patients with traumatic subdural hematoma, which was also published in World Neurosurgery. The study aimed to identify patient factors associated with increased risk of unplanned readmissions within 30 and 90 days. The researchers used the HCUP Nationwide Readmission Database from 2013 to 2015 and included 14,355 patients. The study found that there was a 21.6% unplanned readmission rate after treatment of traumatic subdural hematoma, with infection, sepsis, and epilepsy-related complications being the most common drivers. Multiple patient-specific variables, including Medicare and comorbidities, were associated with hospital readmission. The study hopes to contribute to reducing unplanned hospital readmissions in the future. No credits were mentioned in the video.
