533 Readmission Rates After Elective Colorectal Cancer Surgery and Its Comparison to National Bowel Cancer Audit in 2019 (NBOCA 2019)

Abstract Background The NBOCA 2019 showed an overall 10.8% of patients had unplanned readmission within 30 days surgery (for both elective and emergency colonic resection (NBOCA, 2019). Aim To identify readmissions rates after colorectal cancer in our hospital comparing it to 2019. Identifying reasons for readmissions. Method A single centre, retrospective, observational study was performed between January 2018 – We included that required following resections cancer. Data collected on patient demographics, primary operation, histopathology, stage, neo-adjuvant chemo/radiotherapy, date, reason readmission. Results Total 123 cancer.13.8% (17/123) these 70.6% (12/17) readmitted with discharge, 29.4% (5/17) beyond 90 discharge. 58.8% (10/17) Of the operations needed were laparoscopically, most common operation resulting LAR (52.9%, 9/17). Tumour grades using Dukes classification 41.1% (7/17), B 11.8% (2/17), C 35.2% (6/17), D 5.9% (1/17). Neo-adjuvant chemo/radiotherapy given patients. Overall, admission small bowel obstruction (SBO) abdominal/pelvic collection, each by 23.5% (4/17), followed wound dehiscence (11.8%, 2/17) SSI (both deep organ related) 2/17). Conclusions 13.8% who underwent Further is investigate more contributing factors readmission, order formulate strategies help prevent them.
