Incidence of and Risk Factors for Multiple Readmissions after Kidney Transplantation

Unplanned readmission is often used as a surgical quality metric. A subset of kidney transplant recipients undergos multiple readmissions (MRs), although the incidence and risk factors are not well described. The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors for MR after deceased donor kidney trans...

Description
Summary:Unplanned readmission is often used as a surgical quality metric. A subset of kidney transplant recipients undergos multiple readmissions (MRs), although the incidence and risk factors are not well described. The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors for MR after deceased donor kidney transplantation. All patients undergoing deceased donor kidney transplantation at a single center over a three-year period were analyzed via retrospective chart review for factors associated with MR. P values
