Surgical patient values frame and modify the impact of risk factors for non-routine postdischarge care: a mixed-methods study.
This mixed methods study looked at patient perspectives on risk factors of non-routine postdischarge care (emergency department visit or rehospitalization) for adult colorectal surgery patients. Surgery patients were identified from hospital records from 2017 to 2018. The authors enrolled 258 participants, surveyed 167, and interviewed 18. Depressive symptoms were found to be one of the many risk factors confirmed to increase non-routine health utilization.
