摘要: Background Lower extremity revascularization for critical limb ischemia (CLI) remains a subject of clinical equipoise. Readmissions and repeat lower increase the cost care decrease value initial treatment. This study examines readmissions inpatient major amputation up to 1 year after open endovascular revascularization. Methods The 2014 Nationwide Database (NRD) was reviewed. NRD provides all subsequent any hospitalization calendar year. A cohort patients undergoing in January only selected based on International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes. Patients were divided into groups. (RFR) identified procedural Open compared terms patient characteristics as well readmissions, RFR, amputation, mortality at Risk-adjusted outcomes accounting differences age, gender, income, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) derived using regression analysis. Results There 1,668 1,410 revascularizations. group significantly older (P Conclusions Endovascular CLI is performed sicker seems be associated with increased readmission Regardless modality treatment, are likely undergo least during readmissions.
