Popis: Background Distal pancreatectomy (DP) continues to carry a significant risk of morbidity resulting in hospital readmissions and increased costs. Prognostic factors predicting 30-day readmission after DP were evaluated. Methods Data were collected from 946 patients undergoing DP at the University of Verona Hospital Trust and the Massachusetts General Hospital between 2004 and 2014. Patients were divided into a derivation and a validation cohort. Results The 30-day readmission rate was 13.9%. Predictors of readmission were age over 60 years (OR 1.8), intraoperative transfusions (OR 2.02), CR-POPF (OR 2.4), abdominal abscesses (OR 3.9), and urinary tract infections (OR 5.9). The score generated by the derivation cohort was validated identifying three different categories with a progressively increased risk for readmission. Conclusion One out of seven patients undergoing DP will be readmitted within 30 days of discharge. Comorbidities seems not to affect the risk. A 10-point score predicts the risk of 30-days readmission.
