The Frequency of Unplanned Rehospitalization and Associated Factors in Gyneoncology Patients: A Retrospective Study.
In this study, we aim to analyze rate and associated factors with unplanned rehospitalization in gynecological cancer patients. ⋯ Unplanned rehospitalization after discharge for gynecological cancer is common with significant associated risk factors and patient outcomes. Integrated multidisciplinary health care strategies, such as safe transition, communication, patient and family education, accurate medication reconciliation, and short-interval outpatient follow-up may help to prevent rehospitalization after discharge and improve patient outcomes.
