Unplanned Readmissions after Spine Surgery: A Single-Center Prospective Analysis of a 90-Day Model in 2,860 Cases.

Conclusions: Our study showed that SSIs and aseptic pain were leading causes of readmissions at 90-d interval. Limiting analysis to 30-day readmissions as in previous studies would lead to failure in identification of more severe complications like deep infections. Continued vigilance, particularly for patients with predisposing factors, could help alleviate the financial burden. PMID: 31608610 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
