This study was designed to evaluate factors that might be predictive of readmission and early and long-term outcomes for patients readmitted after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. ⋯ Early readmission after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is common. Associated comorbidity, laparoscopic approach, reconstruction of the ileal pouch-anal anastomosis at the index surgery, and postoperative blood transfusion are associated with readmission.
