Abstract
Background
Postdischarge recovery continues at home and some patients will need admission if complications occur.
Objective
To analyze the postdischarge unplanned admission rate in a hospital-based ambulatory surgery unit.
Method
Prospective non-comparative study. Patients admitted in the first 30 days postdischarge were included.
Univariate analysis was performed to identify independent predictive factors for these admissions.
Results
The postdischarge unplanned admission rate was 1%. Urology, gynaecology and general surgery, patients 90 years or older and epidural anaesthesia were significant risk factors for postdischarge unplanned admission.
Conclusion
The postdischarge unplanned admission rate was very low.
