Variables associated with 90-day readmission following craniotomy for tumor in the pediatric population
Utilizing our large pediatric tumor database, we identified key drivers of readmission following elective tumor resection. These were young children (0 to < 5 years), surgical time, high tumor grade, and return to the neurosurgical OR due to POE, of which high tumor grade was the strongest. Future studies are warranted to explore the specific ways that these predictors increase readmission risk.
