Association of Hospital Bed Turnover With Patient Outcomes in Digestive Surgery.

ABSTRACT: To determine the influence of hospital bed turnover rate (BTR) on the occurrence of complications following minor or major digestive surgery.

Background

Performance improvement in surgery aims at increasing productivity while preventing complications. It is unknown whether this relationship can be influenced by the complexity of surgery.

Methods

A nationwide retrospective cohort study was conducted, based on generalized estimating equation modeling to determine the effect of hospital BTR on surgical outcomes, adjusting for patient mix and clustering within 631 public and private French hospitals. All patients who underwent minor or major digestive surgery between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2018 were included. Hospital BTR was defined as the annual number of stays per be
