Incidence, timing and variation in unplanned readmissions within 30-days following isolated coronary artery bypass grafting
One-in-8 patients undergoing CABG experienced an unplanned readmission within 30-day, rising to one-in-6 following urgent CABG. There was little statistically significant institutional variation in RSRR. Nevertheless, many readmissions are likely related to care quality and potentially preventable, highlighting scope for clinical and policy interventions to reduce readmissions.
