Readmission after appendectomy
Among the 95 patients with cancer, 21 (22.1%) were readmitted to the
hospital within 30 days of discharge. This compares to 983/28124 (3.5%)
in the non-cancer group. However, only one of those 21 patients (4.8%)
in the cancer group was admitted for a reason related to surgery, as
opposed to 828/983 (84.2%) in the non-cancer group.
