Patient, treatment and discharge factors associated with hospital readmission within 30Â days after surgical cytoreduction for epithelial ovarian carcinoma

Readmission after surgical cytoreduction affected 12% of our population. Multivariate analyses suggested perioperative complications, particularly reoperation and cardiopulmonary event, placed the patient at the greatest risk. Age, comorbidities, surgical radicality and discharge with visiting nurse services/rehabilitation facility did not affect the likelihood of readmission.
