Résumé
Minimally invasive hysterectomy is a common gynecologic procedure. Numerous studies have found that a same day discharge (SDD) is safe following this procedure. Research has found that SDDs decrease resource strain, nosocomial infections, and financial burden for both the patient and healthcare system. Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the safety of hospital admissions and elective surgeries was called into question. To assess the rates of SDD among patients who underwent a minimally invasive hysterectomy before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. A retrospective chart review was performed from September 2018 to December 2020 on 521 patients, who met inclusion criteria. Descriptive analysis, chi-square tests of association, and multivariable logistic regression were used for analysis. There was a significant difference between rate of SDDs pre-COVID-19 (12.5%) versus during the COVID-19 period (28.6%) (p < 0.001). Surgical complexity was predictive of not being discharged the same day of surgery (odds ratio [OR] = 4.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.2-8.8), as was surgical completion time after 4 p.m. (OR = 5.2, 95% CI = 1.1-25.2). There was no difference in readmissions (p = 0.209) and emergency department (ED) visits (p = 0.973) between SDD and overnight stay. Rates of SDD for patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy were significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. SDDs are safe; the number of readmissions and ED visits did not increase among patients who were discharged on the same day.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Minimally invasive hysterectomy is a common gynecologic procedure. Numerous studies have found that a same day discharge (SDD) is safe following this procedure. Research has found that SDDs decrease resource strain, nosocomial infections, and financial burden for both the patient and healthcare system. Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the safety of hospital admissions and elective surgeries was called into question.
OBJECTIVE
OBJECTIVE
To assess the rates of SDD among patients who underwent a minimally invasive hysterectomy before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
STUDY DESIGN
METHODS
A retrospective chart review was performed from September 2018 to December 2020 on 521 patients, who met inclusion criteria. Descriptive analysis, chi-square tests of association, and multivariable logistic regression were used for analysis.
RESULTS
RESULTS
There was a significant difference between rate of SDDs pre-COVID-19 (12.5%) versus during the COVID-19 period (28.6%) (p < 0.001). Surgical complexity was predictive of not being discharged the same day of surgery (odds ratio [OR] = 4.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.2-8.8), as was surgical completion time after 4 p.m. (OR = 5.2, 95% CI = 1.1-25.2). There was no difference in readmissions (p = 0.209) and emergency department (ED) visits (p = 0.973) between SDD and overnight stay.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Rates of SDD for patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy were significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. SDDs are safe; the number of readmissions and ED visits did not increase among patients who were discharged on the same day.
