Factors associated with safe and successful postoperative day 1 discharge after lung operations: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A shorter length of stay (LOS) is associated with fewer hospital-acquired adverse conditions and decreased utilization of hospital resources. While modern perioperative care protocols have enabled some ambitious surgical teams to achieve discharge as early as within postoperative day 1 (POD1), most other teams remain cautious about such an approach due to the perceived risk of missing postoperative complications and increased readmission rates. We aimed to identify factors that would help guide surgical teams aiming for safe and successful POD1 discharge after lung resection.

Methods

We searched the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and CENTRAL databases for articles comparing perioperative characteristics in patients discharged within POD1 (DWPOD1) and after POD1 (DAPOD1) following lung resection. Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model.

Results

We included eight retrospective cohort studies with a total of 216,887 patients, of which 22,250 (10.3%) patients were DWPOD1. Our meta-analysis showed that younger patients, those without cardiovascular and respiratory comorbidities, and those with better preoperative pulmonary function are more likely to qualify for DWPOD1. Certain operative factors, such as a minimally invasive approach, shorter operations, and sublobar resections, also favor DWPOD1. DWPOD1 appears to be safe, with comparable 30-day mortality and readmission rates, and significantly less postoperative morbidity than DAPOD1.

Conclusions

In select patients with a favorable preoperative profile, DWPOD1 after lung resection can be achieved successfully and without increased risk of adverse outcomes such as postoperative morbidity, mortality, or readmissions.

Project description:PurposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of day-case unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) by assessment of successful same-day discharge (SDD), readmission, complication and reoperation rates in the recent literature.MethodsFor this systematic review and meta-analysis, PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library were comprehensively searched to identify all eligible studies reporting outcomes of day-case UKA. Studies with intended same-day home discharge after UKA were included. A meta-analysis of proportions, using a random-effects model, was performed to estimate overall rates of successful SDD and adverse events. Subgroup analyses were performed for studies including selected patients (i.e., patients had to meet certain patient-specific criteria to be eligible for day-case UKA) and unselected patients (i.e., no additional criteria for day-case UKA), as well as for clinical and registry-based studies. Additional outcomes included reasons for the failure of SDD and patient satisfaction.ResultsA total of 29 studies and 9694 patients were included with a mean age of 66 ± 9 years and mean follow-up of 59 days (mean range 30-270 days). Based on 24 studies (2733 patients), the overall successful SDD rate was 88% (95% confidence interval [CI] 80-92). These rates were 91% (95% CI 84-95) across studies with selected patients and 76% (95% CI 55-89) across studies with unselected patients. Overall readmission, complication and reoperation rates were 3% (95% CI 1.9-4.4), 4% (95% CI 2.8-5.2) and 1% (95% CI 0.8-1.3), respectively. Inability to mobilize, nausea and uncontrolled pain were frequently reported reasons for failed SDD. The overall patient satisfaction rate was 94%.ConclusionThis systematic review with meta-analysis found an overall successful SDD rate of 88% after UKA in a heterogeneous cohort of selected and unselected patients. Readmission, complication and reoperation rates suggest UKA can be performed safely and effectively as a same-day discharge procedure.Level of evidenceLevel IV, systematic review of level III and IV studies.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Nowadays 57% of the cardiologists based in the United Kingdom and 32% of the cardiologists based in Canada utilize same day discharge (SDD) following elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as a routine practice. In this analysis, we aimed to systematically assess early versus late clinical outcomes following SDD after elective PCI. METHODS:The Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, the Cochrane Central, the Resources from the United States National Library of Medicine (www.ClinicalTrials.gov: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov) and EMBASE were carefully searched for relevant English publications which reported early versus late clinical outcomes in patients who were discharged on the same day following revascularization by PCI. Relevant clinical outcomes which were reported in the original studies were considered as the endpoints in this analysis. Odd ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to represent the data, and RevMan 5.3 was used as the statistical software. RESULTS:A total number of 21, 687 participants (enrollment time period from the year 1998 to the year 2015) were assigned to this analysis. When early versus late clinical outcomes were compared in patients who were discharged on the same day following elective PCI, major adverse cardiac events (OR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.31-1.79; P?=?.51), mortality (OR: 0.26, 95% CI: 0.06-1.06; P?=?.06), stroke (OR: 1.46, 95% CI: 0.72-2.94; P?=?.29), arrhythmia (OR: 1.30, 95% CI: 0.64-2.63; P?=?.47), hematoma (OR: 1.00, 95% CI: 0.60-1.66; P?=?1.00) and major bleeding from access site (OR: 1.68, 95% CI: 0.22-12.85; P?=?.62) were not significantly different. Post-procedural myocardial infarction (OR: 2.01, 95% CI: 0.71-5.70; P?=?.19) and minor bleeding from access site (OR: 6.61, 95% CI: 0.86-50.66; P?=?.07) were also similarly manifested. However, re-hospitalization was significantly higher in those patients with late clinical outcomes (OR: 0.18, 95% CI: 0.07-0.44; P?=?.0002). CONCLUSIONS:In those patients who were discharged from the hospital on the same day following elective PCI, no significant difference was observed in the assessed early versus late clinical outcomes. However, late clinical outcomes resulted in a significantly higher rate of re-hospitalization. Larger studies should confirm this hypothesis.

Project description:Background To compare the readmission rate, rate of urgent/unplanned visits to emergency, complication rate along with cost of health care among children and adolescents who were discharged the same day following a laparoscopic appendectomy and those who were not discharged on the same day. Methods A systematic search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases. Randomized controlled trials and studies, observational in design, were considered for inclusion. The included studies were conducted in children and adolescents with uncomplicated appendicitis undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy and compared outcomes of interest between patients that were discharged the same day (SDD group) following the operation and patients that were discharged within 2 days post-operatively (non-SSD group). Statistical analysis was performed using STATA software. Effect sizes were reported as pooled odds ratio (OR) or weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals. Results A total of 13 studies with 32,021 children and adolescents were included. There was no significant difference in the risks of unplanned visit to the emergency department (OR 1.07, 95% CI: 0.78, 1.47), readmission (OR 0.83, 95% CI: 0.66, 1.05), reoperation/re-intervention (OR 1.73, 95% CI: 0.19, 16.2) and complications (OR 0.84, 95% CI: 0.67, 1.06) in both groups of patients. Patients in the SDD group had slightly lower risk of wound infection/complication (OR 0.74, 95% CI: 0.57, 0.96) compared to patients in the non-SDD group. Those with SDD had to incur comparatively lesser hospital expense (in USD) compared to those with no SDD (WMD −2587.4, 95% CI: −4628.3, −546.6). Conclusion In children and adolescents with uncomplicated acute appendicitis undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy, same-day discharge is not associated with increased readmission risk, unplanned visits to emergency, and complications. Further, SDD is associated with lower cost of hospital care. Adoption of SDD in this subset of children and adolescents may be encouraged.
