Analysis of intra-operative variables as predictors of 30-day readmission in patients undergoing glioma surgery at a single center

ConclusionIntraoperative risk factors may help risk-stratify patients with a high degree of accuracy and improve postoperative patient follow-up. Attention should be paid to duration of hypertension and end-case final temperature as these represent potentially modifiable factors that appear to be highly associated with 30-day readmission rates. Prospective validation of our model is needed to assess its potential for implementation as a screening tool to identify patients undergoing glioma surgery who are at a higher risk of post-operative readmission within 30 days
