Factors associated with admission before the day of elective major surgery: an analysis of data from the UK Perioperative Quality Improvement Programme
Multiple risk factors for admission before day of surgery could be addressed through policy or local quality improvement. Unexplained variation at the hospital level might reflect local culture and process, which should be explored in future research. We recommend exploring hotel-type accommodation as a potentially cost-effective alternative to preoperative inpatient admission for suitable patients.
