This measure has been used to rate hospital quality and also to penalize hospitals for excess readmissions. It has been hypothesized that shorter hospital stays and fewer readmissions are associated with endoscopic skull base procedures. In this study we analyze endoscopic skull base procedures performed at our institution over a 10\u2010year period to identify rates and factors associated with readmissions after endoscopic skull base surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective chart review was performed at a tertiary care academic medical center identifying patients who underwent endoscopic skull base surgery over the past 10 years. Data on patient demographics and tumor variables, as well as patient variables such as body mass index (BMI), revision surgery, history of skull base radiation, medical comorbidities, intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, and postoperative CSF leaks, were recorded.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Eight hundred thirty\u2010three patients were included in our study. Sixty\u2010one patients (7.3%) were readmitted a total of 66 times within 30 days. The most common reasons were as follows: hyponatremia (n = 18); CSF leak (n = 17); epistaxis (n = 3); diabetes insipidus (n = 3); rhinorrhea (n = 3); as well as other reasons.
