Safe Discharge Criteria After Curative Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between clinical and laboratory parameters and complication status to predict which patients can be safely discharged from the hospital on the third postoperative day (POD).

Materials and methods

Data from a prospectively maintained database of 2,110 consecutive patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent curative surgery were reviewed. The third POD vital signs, laboratory data, and details of the course after surgery were collected.

The proposed algorithm was tested using a validation dataset of consecutive patients from the sam
