Factors associated with unplanned readmissions and costs following resection of brain metastases in the United States
Abstract The purpose of this study was to critically analyze the risk of unplanned readmission following resection of brain metastasis and to identify key risk factors to allow for early intervention strategies in high-risk patients. We analyzed data from the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) f...
