“…SSI in ovarian cancer has previously been shown to be associated with increased postoperative mortality, increased risk of readmission, and longer TTC [8,9,19]. Additionally, delay of chemotherapy initiation following PS has been linked to decreased DFS and OS [20,21]. SSI following gynecologic cancer surgery is also associated with increased costs of care and SSIs in the setting of hysterectomy or bowel resection are reported to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as a benchmark of institutional surgical quality [12,22].…”

“…Furthermore, length of ICU stay and time between surgery and chemotherapy were also longer in the RR group. Mahner et al 15 found that initiation of chemotherapy later than 19 days was associated with earlier death. This may be regarded as an advantage of DP over RR in providing earlier admission for chemotherapy.…”

“…Patients with ovarian cancer are recommended to receive adjuvant chemotherapy within 3 to 4 weeks of surgery, and unanticipated hospital admissions may delay initiation of such treatment. 19 In this study of patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer, the 30-day readmission rate, after index admission for surgical cytoreduction, was 17.2%, and increased to more than 19% if multiple readmissions per patient were considered.…”
