Hospital readmission and 30‐day mortality after surgery for oral cavity cancer: Analysis of 21,681 cases

Abstract

Interventions aimed at decreasing hospital readmissions should target high-risk patients identified here. Factors associated with 30-day mortality reflect risk factors for overall mortality. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 38: E221-E226, 2016.

Complications and mortality following surgery for oral cavity cancer: Analysis of 408 cases

“…The 30‐day mortality rate in our sample was 1.0%, which is in line with both Luryi et al's finding and Awad et al's finding of 0.8% . Additionally, Luryi et al linked male gender, ND, and stage T3 to unplanned readmission within 30 days postdischarge . Although the NSQIP does not record clinical staging or readmission data, we found current smokers, recent significant weight loss, and history of stroke/transient ischemic attack to be at high risk of reoperation.…”

Preoperative predictors of occult nodal disease in cT1N0 oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma: Review of 2623 cases

“…19 We found a slightly higher overall incidence of occult nodal disease in women (16.7% vs 13.9% men; P 5 .049). 19 We found a slightly higher overall incidence of occult nodal disease in women (16.7% vs 13.9% men; P 5 .049).…”

Outcomes of head and neck cancer surgery in the geriatric population based on case volume at academic centers

“…Due to the nature of the CDB/RM, readmissions to another hospital cannot be counted toward the index hospital readmission rate. Other studies report 30‐day readmission rates in the order of 3.2% to 14.5% . Despite this, the 7‐ and 30‐day readmission rates for geriatric patients (1.10%–1.75% and 3.84%–5.44%, respectively), when compared to previous studies for younger patients (1.55%–2.63% and 5.11%–6.76%, respectively) show that it is not that different.…”
