Brief summary
There has been recent interest in understanding the costs associated with post operative complications undergoing gastric resection (removal of the stomach). Accurately defining the costs of complications allows institutions to make more informed decisions as to what these costs are and implement strategies to reduce the incidence of complications, thereby mitigating hospital costs. The aim of this study is to provide a detailed costs analysis for patients who undergo gastric resection. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult who underwent gastric resection for any indication including (i.e. cancer and non-cancer causes) ,at the Austin Hospital between 1 Jan 2020 and 31 Dec 2019. Study details This study will be conducted using a review of medical records, and no patient contact is required. The study will review the medical records of adult patients who underwent a gastrectomy during the above 10-year period. at the Austin Hospital . It is hoped that this research will help to provide a better understanding of the costs associated with major surgery.
Interventions
In this study we will be observing complications after surgery and their associated hospital costs. As this is a retrospective study, there is no participant involvement. Only the de-identified hospital medical record of patients who have undergone gastric resection surgery will be reviewed.
We will review the following ICD Codes:
30518-00 Partial distal gastrectomy with gastroduodenal anastomosis
30518-01 Partial distal gastrectomy with gastrojejunal anastomosis
30518-02 Partial proximal gastr

Patients will be followed-up following discharge from the index admission. Readmission of up to 90 days post-operatively will be collected.
