Age stratified analysis of pre-operative factors impacting unplanned thirty day readmission in geriatric general surgery

摘要

Background: The geriatrics population can no longer be considered as one homogenous group when it comes to patient-centric and value-based care. We aim to determine if there are pre-operative factors which differ between geriatric age strata (65-74, 75-84, 85 + years) that impact unplanned thirty-day readmission.
