Abstract
Among patients with the lowest risk profile, there was an 11.7% readmission rate. Adjusting for other factors, each additional comorbidity and complication increased this rate by approximately 2.0% and 2.7%, respectively. These results demonstrate that the avoidance of postoperative complications may represent an effective mechanism for decreasing readmissions after thoracic surgery.
