Postoperative care fragmentation and thirty-day unplanned readmissions after head and neck cancer surgery.
Researchers sought to determine the frequency, risk factors, and outcomes for head and neck cancer patients experiencing postdischarge care fragmentation. They found that postdischarge care fragmentation following head and neck cancer surgery is common, as 37 percent of readmitted patients and 31 percent of patients readmitted with a treatment complication are readmitted to a hospital other than the surgical hospital.
