Unplanned 180-day Readmissions and Healthcare Utilization After Immediate Breast Reconstruction for Breast Cancer.
Purpose: To assess the burden of post-discharge healthcare utilization given by readmissions beyond 30-days following immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) nationwide.
Methods: Women with breast cancer who underwent mastectomy and concurrent IBR (autologous and implant-based) were identified within the 2010-2019 Nationwide Readmission Database. Cox proportional hazards and generalized linear regression controlling for patient- and hospital-level confounders were used to determine factors associated with 180-day unplanned readmissions and incremental hospital costs, respectively.
Results: Within 180 days 10.7% of 100,942 women were readmitted following IBR.. Readmissions tended to be publicly insured (30.8% vs. 21.7%, P<0.001), and multimorbid (Elixhauser comorbidity index >2 31.6% vs. 19.6%, P<0.001) compared to non-readmitted patients. There were no differences in readmission rates amongst types of IBR (tissue expander 11.2%, implant 10.7%, autologous 10.8%; P>0.69). Of all readmissions, 40% occurred within 30 days and 21.7% in a different hospital, and 40% required a major procedure in the operating room. Infection was the leading cause of readmissions (29.8%). In risk-adjusted analyses, patients with carcinoma in situ, publicly insured, low socioeconomic status, and higher comorbidity burden were associated with increased readmissions (all P<0.05). Readmissions resulted in additional $8,971.78 (95% CI: $8,537.72-9,405.84, P<0.001) in hospital costs which accounted for 15% of the total cost of immediate breast reconstruction nationwide.
Conclusion: The majority of inpatient healthcare utilization given by readmissions following mastectomy and IBR occurs beyond the 30-day benchmark. There is evidence of fragmentation of care as a quarter of readmissions occur in a different hospital and over one-third require major procedures. Mitigating postoperative infectious complications could result in the highest reduction of readmissions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery is a peer-reviewed, indexed journal that provides an international forum for the publication of articles focusing on reconstructive microsurgery and complex reconstructive surgery. The journal was originally established in 1984 for the microsurgical community to publish and share academic papers.
The Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery provides the latest in original research spanning basic laboratory, translational, and clinical investigations. Review papers cover current topics in complex reconstruction and microsurgery. In addition, special sections discuss new technologies, innovations, materials, and significant problem cases.
The journal welcomes controversial topics, editorial comments, book reviews, and letters to the Editor, in order to complete the balanced spectrum of information available in the Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery. All articles undergo stringent peer review by international experts in the specialty.
