High Rates of Readmission in Necrotizing Pancreatitis: Natural History or Opportunity for Improvement?

Background Necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) is a complex and heterogeneous disease with a protracted disease course. Hospital readmission is extremely common; however, few data exist regarding the cause of readmission in NP. Methods A retrospective review of NP patients treated between 2005 and 2017 id...

Description
Summary:Background Necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) is a complex and heterogeneous disease with a protracted disease course. Hospital readmission is extremely common; however, few data exist regarding the cause of readmission in NP. Methods A retrospective review of NP patients treated between 2005 and 2017 identified patients readmitted both locally and to our hospital. All patients with unplanned hospital readmissions were evaluated to determine the cause for readmission. Clinical and demographic factors of all patients were recorded. As appropriate, two independent group t tests and Pearson’s correlation or Fisher’s exact tests were performed to analyze the relationship between index admission clinical factors and readmission. p values of
