Abstract
- This article discusses the issue of unplanned hospital readmissions following trans-sphenoidal surgery for Cushing's disease. The study analyzed data from a multi-institutional database of patients who underwent this surgery between 2003 and 2023. The results showed that 10.3% of patients experienced unplanned readmissions, with the most common reasons being hyponatremia, CSF leak evaluation, headache/nausea, and epistaxis. The study also found that an increased number of chronic medical conditions and the need for a return to surgery were associated with a higher chance of unplanned readmission. The authors suggest strategies to mitigate these readmissions, such as fluid restriction and optimizing chronic medical conditions. [Extracted from the article]
