11: Factors associated with 30-day readmissions for cesarean delivery surgical site infections

Readmissions for surgical site infections (SSIs) are an increasing cost to healthcare systems. Cesarean SSIs in the United States range from 2% to 8% with the majority of those infections being diagnosed after the initial delivery discharge. The objective of this study was to determine the 30-day readmission rate for cesarean delivery complications and to determine the risk factors that place women at highest risk for readmission due to SSIs.
