Study Population

Since January 2010, around 7,500 patients have had heart surgery, and around 2,083 of these patients have returned to the University Hospital of Basel within 30 days of discharge after heart surgery.

You may qualify if:

• Patients who had heart surgery and returned unplanned to the University Hospital Basel within 30 days of leaving the hospital (outpatient or inpatient)
• Patients who had heart surgery and did not return unplanned to the University Hospital Basel within 30 days of leaving the hospital (outpatient or inpatient)

You may not qualify if:

• Patients with other initial hospitalization reasons for heart surgery without heart surgery (conservative treatments, cerclage removal, pacemaker surgery) are not included in the analysis.
• Planned readmissions to the University Hospital Basel within 30 days
