Risk factors for early readmission to hospital in patients with malignancy-related ascites: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Malignancy-related ascites (MRA) is a common serious complication of many advanced malignant tumors with high morbidity and mortality. The high hospital expenditures induced by unplanned readmission in patients with MRA have become an urgent issue to the public. We aimed to overall assess the unplanned early readmission rate of patients with MRA and explore the potential risk factors for such readmission.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study based on 2018 Nationwide Readmissions Database was performed and patients with MRA were recruited into the analysis. The primary outcome was unplanned 30-day readmission rate and inpatient outcomes. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the potential risk factors for such early readmission.<
