Article Abstract
Objective: The 30-day readmission is associated with increased medical costs, which has become an important quality metric in several medical institutions. This current study is aimed at clarifying the prevalence, the underlying risk factors, and reasons of the 30-day readmission after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were systematically searched to identify eligible studies. Random-effect models were employed to perform pooled analyses. Means and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate prevalence and reasons for 30-day readmission. We also used Odds ratios (ORs) to explore the potential significant predictors of risk factors of 30-day readmission after AMI. Potential publication bias was assessed using funnel plot and Begg'test.
Results: A total of 14 relevant studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled 30-day readmission rate of AMI was 12% (95% CI 0.11-0.14). Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), angina and acute ischemic heart disease, and heart failure (HF) were the principal cardiovascular reasons of 30-day readmission. Meanwhile, non-specific chest pain was regarded as the significant cause among non-cardiovascular reasons. The common co-morbidities kidney disease, HF and diabetes mellitus were significant risk factors for 30-day readmission. No significant publication bias was found by funnel plot and statistical tests.
Conclusions: The 30-day readmission rate of post-AMI ranged from 11% to 14% and can be mainly attributed to cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular events. The common co-morbidities, such as kidney disease, HF, and diabetes mellitus were significant risk factors for 30-day readmission.

Background: Infected animal bites and localised infections are traditionally managed by inpatient admission, intravenous antibiotics, and localised washout +/- debridement. Our hand trauma protocol was modified to accommodate the challenges faced in delivering this pathway during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of two management pathways, ambulatory (2020) vs inpatient (2019), at a single tertiary referral centre.

Background: Intrahepatic and perihepatic abscess (IPHA) is a severe yet understudied complication that can occur after hepatectomy. This multicenter study aimed to elucidate the clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes of IPHA after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to develop a novel prediction model for personalized risk assessment.
Methods: This was a multicenter cohort study of HCC patients who underwent curative-intent hepatectomy.
Objective: Delays in discharges have a downstream effect on emergency department admissions, wait times, intensive care unit transfers, and elective admissions. This quality improvement project's aim was to increase the percentage of discharges before noon from a hospital medicine service from 19% to 30% over a 6-month period and sustain the increase for 6 months.
Methods: Interventions included introduction of a dedicated patient flow provider (PFP), optimization of workflow, technology assistance with discharge tasks, and multidisciplinary education on patient flow.

Background: Computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation and robotic technologies aim to optimize implant placement and alignment in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) to improve patient outcomes. This study uses a retrospective hospital billing database covering 1,300 hospitals to compare the clinical and economic effect of these technologies.
Methods: The study compared patients undergoing THA with robotic versus computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation technologies between January 1, 2016, and September 30, 2021, using the Premier Healthcare Database.
