Return to acute care following ambulatory surgery.
This study determined the rates of all-cause, unplanned revisits (i.e., not for routine medical care) within 30 days of ambulatory surgery and whether revisits were related to the operation. It found that acute care revisits following ambulatory operations in low-risk patients occurred with notable frequency across 6 diverse types of operations.
