Clinical characteristics and risk factors of preventable hospital readmissions within 30 days.

Knowledge regarding preventable hospital readmissions is scarce. Our aim was to compare the clinical characteristics of potentially preventable readmissions (PPRs) with non-PPRs. Additionally, we aimed to identify risk factors for PPRs.

Persistence of Symptoms After Total vs Supracervical Hysterectomy in Women with Histopathological Diagnosis of Adenomyosis.

Study Objective: To compare symptom persistence in women with adenomyosis based on retention or removal of the cervix at the time of hysterectomy.

Design: Retrospective cohort study and follow-up survey (Canadian Task Force classification xx).

Setting: Tertiary care academic hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.

Trends in readmission rate by route of hysterectomy - a single-center experience.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the 60-day readmission rates after hysterectomy according to route of surgery and analyze risk factors for postoperative readmission.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included all women who underwent hysterectomy due to benign conditions from 2009 to 2015 at a large academic center in Boston. Readmission rates were compared among the following four types of hysterectomies: abdominal, laparoscopic, robotic and vaginal.

Study Objective: To compare perioperative outcomes associated with the use of 3 techniques for tissue removal at the time of laparoscopic hysterectomy and myomectomy.

Design: A retrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).

Setting: An academic hospital in Boston, MA.
