Incidence and predictors of readmission following hospitalization for thoracic disc herniation
We established a 90-day all-cause readmission rate of 18.9 % for TDH. There was no difference in readmission based on patients' initial neurological presentation. Non-surgical treatment was identified as an independent risk factor for readmission, suggesting that timely surgical interventions may reduce the risk of readmission. Medicare insurance, hypertension and depression were also identified as independent risk factors.
