Holiday ratio of hospitalization and 30-day readmission rates among cancer patients after major surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To determine the association of 30-day readmission with weekend discharge and the number of holiday days during a hospital stay (holiday ratio).

Methods

This retrospective cohort study used the clinical research database and cancer registry data of our hospital from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2017. Patient characteristics, tumor factors, clinical laboratory data, and proxies of continuity of care, such as weekend discharge or holiday ratio (holiday days/total hospitalization days), received statistical analysis. Multivariate logistic regression identified the independent factors for 30-day potentially avoidable readmission rate (PAR).

Results

Of 1433 patients receiving tumor resection, 520 (36.29%) had colon cancer; 440 (30.70%) had head and neck cance
