Perioperative Stroke and Thirty-Day Hospital Readmission After Cardiac Surgeries: State Inpatient Database Study.

Background: Readmission rates are an important metric for evaluating healthcare quality. Stroke is a major complication following cardiac surgery. Our study aimed to evaluate the frequency and predictors of 30-day unplanned hospital readmission after cardiac surgeries and to evaluate the impact of perioperative stroke on readmission.

Perioperative stroke associated in-hospital morbidity and in-hospital mortality in common non-vascular non-neurological surgery.

Perioperative stroke in non-vascular, non-neurological surgery is a potential cause of high levels of in-hospital morbidity and mortality. Although, perioperative stroke following non-vascular and non-neurological surgery is a relatively infrequent event; high surgical volume results in thousands of patients experiencing neurological deficits. We aim to determine if perioperative stroke is an independent risk factor for 30-day in-hospital morbidity and mortality following common non-vascular non-neurological surgery.
