A Multicenter Study of Unplanned Hospital Readmissions after Transsphenoidal Surgery for Cushing's Disease
Our results show that readmission rates after transsphenoidal surgery for Cushing's disease are comparable to previously reported rates for all pituitary-related disorders, with the most common reason being hyponatremia. High-impact clinical protocols focused on preventing delayed hyponatremia may reduce the risk of readmission. Failure to identify significant predictors of readmission, even in this large clinical dataset, underscores the challenge of identifying high-risk clinical cohorts.
