Retrospective Analysis of Causes and Risk Factors of 30-Day Readmission After Spine Surgery for Thoracolumbar Trauma.

Spine trauma 30-day readmission rate was 5.1%, comparable to those reported in the elective spine surgery literature. Readmitted patients were more likely to sustain concomitant operative lower limb trauma. Wound complications were the most common cause of readmission, and almost half of the patients were readmitted due to surgery-related complications.
