Popis: Readmission to intensive care unit (ICU) after esophageal cancer surgery is a major concern and can be associated with increased adverse outcomes. This study aims to explore causes, risk factors and early outcomes. We performed a monocentric retrospective analysis in 1140 patients who received esophageal cancer surgery in a higher volume surgeon group between January 2016 and December 2019, at Shanghai Chest Hospital. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify risk factors, and 1:4 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was conducted to compare early outcomes. The incidence of ICU readmission was about 3.8% (43 of 1140). The most common cause was respiratory failure, found in 30 patients (70%). ICU readmission mainly occurred within 3 days after surgery, accounting for 46.5% (20 of 43), with the median length of stay was 3 days. Multivariate analysis identified heavy smoking (odds ratio[OR] = 2.445, 95% CI = 1.128 to 5.301, P = 0.024), intraoperative hypoxemia (OR = 2.461, 95% CI = 1.078 to 5.621, P = 0.033), mechanical ventilation during initial ICU stay (OR = 16.036, 95% CI = 7.332 to 35.074, P
