Article Synopsis
- Readmissions to the intensive care unit (ICU) lead to worse patient outcomes and increased health risks, highlighting the need for a tool to analyze the factors influencing these readmissions.
- The study aimed to create a tool called We-ReAlyse to systematically assess the patient journey from ICU discharge to readmission, identifying specific causes and areas for improvement.
- The We-ReAlyse tool successfully analyzed ten readmission cases, revealing root causes related to handover processes, patient care needs, and use of electronic healthcare records, ultimately helping to inform quality improvement efforts in healthcare settings.
Purpose: Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) after abdominal visceral surgery is an underestimated long-term complication with relevant impact on health-related quality of life and socioeconomic costs. Early identification of affected patients is important. We aim to identify the incidence and risk factors for CPSP in this patient population.
