Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Wound Classification is Prognostic of 30-Day Readmission Following Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The goal of this study was to investigate factors associated with 30-day readmission in a multivariate model, including the CDC wound classes "clean," "clean/contaminated," "contaminated," and "dirty/infected."

Methods

The 2017-2020 American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database was queried for all patients undergoing total hip replacement, coronary artery bypass grafting, Ivor Lewis esophagectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, pneumonectomy, and colectomies. ACS-defined wound classes were concordant with CDC definitions. Multivariate linear mixed regression was used to determine risk factors for readmission while adjusting for type of surgery as a random intercept.
