مستخلص: Pediatric otolaryngology constitutes the highest frequency of elective surgical cases in children, but no studies have investigated the role of patient education in postoperative emergency department (ED) visits. A single institution's data for ED visits within 30 days of otolaryngologic surgery was reviewed from January 2018 through March 2019 to identify which visits were related to the prior surgery and of those, which could have been avoided with improved patient communication. Ninety-seven (29.4 percent) of the 330 patients who revisited the ED within 30 days after otolaryngologic surgery returned as a result of their surgery; the other 233 patients (70.6 percent) revisited the ED for unrelated reasons. Among the 97 who returned for reasons related to their surgery, 48 (49.5 percent) visits were because of lapses in patient communication. Improving patient communication could avoid approximately half of ED visits related to otolaryngology surgery performed within the preceding 30 days. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
