Article Synopsis
- * Out of 648 patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy, 53 (8.2%) visited the ED within 30 days post-surgery, with factors like being unemployed, having government insurance, and a lower socioeconomic status increasing the likelihood of such visits.
- * The findings highlight various risk factors, including not having a primary care physician within the health system and a higher number of pre-surgery ED visits, which can inform strategies to reduce unnecessary ED visits after surgery.
