Colorectal adenocarcinoma is a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, often requiring patients to undergo anatomy-altering surgical interventions leading to increased postoperative readmission. Hospital readmission rates have been correlated with increased mortality. Therefore, it is important to understand the association between 30-day readmission rates and mortality as well as the factors associated with increased readmission rates.
