Abstract
We show some baseline comorbidities and procedural complications that are directly associated with early and late readmissions, and anemia and postoperative stroke were associated with an increase in mortality. Moreover, we found that readmission was associated with double the hazard of death within 1Â year. Whether treatment of identified risk factors could decrease readmission rates and mortality warrants further investigation.
