Evaluating the Incidence, Cause, and Risk Factors for Unplanned 30-Day Readmission and Emergency Department/General Practitioner Visit After Short-Stay Thyroidectomy

摘要

Unplanned 30-day readmission and emergency department (ED)/general practitioner (GP) visit after thyroidectomy are important healthcare quality measures and may reduce any cost savings from performing it as a short-stay (< 24-h admission) procedure. Our study aimed to examine the incidence, cause, and risk factors for unplanned 30-day readmissions and ED/GP visits together following short-stay thyroidectomy.
