Perioperative Morbidity Associated with Same-day Discharge in Elderly Patients.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisWe compared postoperative complications in elderly patients discharged on POD#0 versus POD#1 after prolapse repair.
methodsData were obtained from the National Surgical Quality Improvement database. A total of 20,984 women 65 years and older who underwent prolapse repair between 2014 and 2020 were analyzed. Patient demographics, comorbidities, readmission, reoperation, and 30-day postoperative complications were compared in patients discharged on POD#0 versus POD#1. A sensitivity analysis was completed to examine outcomes in patients who underwent an apical prolapse repair. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate for potential confounders.
resultsAge, race, ethnicity, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, prolapse repair type, and operative time were significantly different in patients discharged on POD#0 vs POD#1 (all p < 0.01). Patients discharged on POD#0 had significantly fewer postoperative complications (2.63% vs 3.44%) and readmissions (1.56% vs 2.18%, all p < 0.01). On multivariate regression modeling, postoperative discharge day was independently associated with complications, but not with readmissions or reoperation after. Patients who underwent an apical prolapse repair and were discharged on POD#0 had significantly more postoperative complications (3.5% vs 2.5%, p = 0.02) and readmissions (2.42% vs 10.08%, p < 0.01) than those discharged on POD#1. In this group, multivariate regression modeling demonstrated that postoperative discharge day was independently associated with any postoperative complication.
conclusionsFor elderly women undergoing prolapse repair, the type of surgery should be considered when determining postoperative admission versus same-day discharge. Admission overnight does not seem to benefit women undergoing vaginal repairs but may decrease overall morbidity and risk of readmission in women undergoing an apical prolapse repair.
