| Abstract Background: Emergency neurological surgeries are often associated with complex recovery requirements, increased risk of complications, and high morbidity. Finding readmission predictors is essential to improving recovery and lowering healthcare costs. Aim of study to assess predictors of hospital readmission for patients undergoing emergency neurosurgeries. Research design: Descriptive research design was utilized. Setting: This study was conducted in Emergency and Intensive Care Unit in trauma hospital and Neuro-Psychiatry _Neuro Surgery hospital at Assuit University. Sample: convenience sample of both adult male and female patients undergoing emergency neurosurgery, with age groups ranging from 18–65 years. Tools: two tools utilized, Tool (I): Patient Neurological assessment sheet. Tool (II): Clinical risk scoring tool to predict readmission after neurosurgery by using LACE score. Results: Old age more than 50 years is more common risk factor and surgical site infection is most common cause for readmission, LACE score is a reliable method for prediction of readmission after Neurosurgeries.Conclusion: Readmission to the hospital following emergency neurosurgeries is still a complicated problem that affects prognosis. Recommendation: Nursing protocol must be implemented for nurses, who are integral in patient care, for early recognition and management of complications after emergency neurosurgeries. Keywords: hospital readmission, neurosurgeries, risk factors. | ||
