Rates, Causes, and Predictive Factors of Hospital Readmissions After Spine Surgery for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study
About 6% of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis who underwent spine surgery were readmitted within 30 days and 12% by 180 days. The causes of readmissions and predictive factors varied by period, providing valuable insights for quality improvement efforts and the burden of readmission reductions.
