11: Factors associated with 30-day readmissions for cesarean delivery surgical site infections




Objectives


Readmissions for surgical site infections (SSIs) are an increasing cost to healthcare systems. Cesarean SSIs in the United States range from 2% to 8% with the majority of those infections being diagnosed after the initial delivery discharge. The objective of this study was to determine the 30-day readmission rate for cesarean delivery complications and to determine the risk factors that place women at highest risk for readmission due to SSIs.




Methods


The 2013 National Readmissions Database (NRD) was used to identify women with a cesarean delivery who were readmitted within 30-days of discharge. The all-cause readmission rate after cesarean delivery was calculated. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression modeling were used to evaluate the association of sociodemographic risk factors and maternal medical comorbidities on the diagnosis for cesarean SSI.
