The aim of this study is to investigate differences in 30- and 90-day readmissions for treatment of traumatic SDH using a nationwide readmission database. METHODS The Nationwide Readmission Database years 2013 - 2015 was queried. Patients with a diagnosis of traumatic SDH and a primary procedure code for incision of cerebral meninges for drainage were identified using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification coding system. Patients were grouped by no readmission (Non-R), readmission within 30 days (30-R), and readmission within 31 to 90 days (90-R). RESULTS A total of 14,355 patients were identified, with 3,106 (21.6%) patients encountering a readmission (30-R n = 2,193 [15.3%]; 90-R n = 913 [6.3%]; Non-R n = 11,249). The most prevalent 30- and 90- day diagnoses seen among the readmitted cohorts were postoperative infection (30-R 10.5%, 90-R 13.0%) and epilepsy (30-R 3.7%, 90-R 1.1%). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, Medicare, Medicaid, hypertension, diabetes, renal failure, congestive heart failure and coagulopathy were independently associated with 30-day readmission; Medicare and rheumatoid arthritis/collagen vascular disease were independently associated with 90-day readmission. CONCLUSION In this study, we determine the relationship between readmission rates and complications associated with surgical intervention for traumatic subdural hematoma. BACKGROUND The growing interest in minimally invasive approaches to the thoracic and lumbar spine is mostly secondary to the high surgical morbidity and complication rates associated with conventional open approaches.
