Thirty-Day Readmission After Radical Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: A Meta-analysis.

Background: Readmission is a commonly accepted parameter to evaluate surgical quality, but previous studies reported inconsistent results in radical gastrectomy. The purpose of our study is to clarify the prevalence, potential causes, and risk factors of 30-d readmission after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Methods: PubMed and Embase were systematically searched from inception to September 2018 for any possible inclusion.
