Unplanned readmission after lung resection surgery: A systematic review.

Urgent readmissions have a major impact on outcomes in patient health and healthcare costs. The associated risk factors have generally been infrequently studied. The main objective of the present work is to identify pre- and perioperative determinants of readmission; the secondary aim was to determine readmission rate, identification of readmission diagnoses, and impact of readmissions on survival rates in related analytical studies.

[Incidence of adverse events in a general surgery unit].

Objective: Clinical practice is an activity accompanied by risks and uncertainties. The objectives are: to determine the incidence of patients with adverse events (AE) in a general surgery unit; to analyse the associated factors; to consider their impact and to identify the prevention possibilities.

Patients And Method: Ambispective study in patients taken care of in a general surgery unit in a tertiary hospital.

[Adverse events in general and digestive surgery departments in Spanish hospitals].

Objective: To determine the incidence of patients with adverse events (AE) in Spanish general surgery units, describe the immediate causes of AE, identify avoidable AE, and determine the impact of these events.

Material And Method: We performed a retrospective cohort study of a randomized stratified sample of 24 hospitals. Six of the hospitals were small (fewer than 200 beds), 13 were medium-sized (between 200 and 499 beds) and five were large (500 or more beds).
