Objective To analyze the current situation of day surgery patients’ withdrawal from hospitalization, and put forward reasonable and effective measures and suggestions.Methods Descriptive statistical analysis and trend chi-square test were conducted on the hospitalization withdrawal rate of day surgery in the Day Surgery Ward of the Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine from 2012 to 2020. The reasons for hospitalization withdrawal and the operation methods of withdrawn cases from 2019 to 2020 were descriptively analyzed.Results From 2012 to 2020, the hospitalization withdrawal rate of day surgery decreased from 4.48% to 2.19%, with a significant decrease and a linear downward trend (χ2trend=138.500, P<0.001). From 2019 to 2020, patient factor was the most important reason for hospitalization withdrawal of day surgery, accounting for 79.72%; secondly, long waiting time for surgery, abnormal examination results, inadequate preoperative evaluation, medical insurance reimbursement, epidemic situation in 2020 and other reasons had affected the patients’ hospitalization withdrawal of day surgery to varying degrees. Endoscopic lithotripsy accounted for the largest proportion (210 cases, accounting for 20.87%) in the withdrawn procedures from 2019 to 2020, followed by minimally invasive rotary resection for breast lesions (126 cases, accounting for 12.52%).Conclusion Improving preoperative evaluation, strengthening preoperative communication, implementing efficient medical treatment, and shortening the waiting time for surgery can reduce the rate of hospitalization withdrawal of day surgery.
