The risk factors influencing nonroutine discharge in surgical patients with spinal metastases: a scoping review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeNonroutine discharge is associated with increased healthcare costs and higher readmission rates among surgical patients with spinal metastases. However, the factors influencing nonroutine discharge remain inadequately summarized, and related research is still in its early stages. This review aims to identify and analyze the risk factors associated with nonroutine discharge in these patients, with the goal of informing discharge planning.
methodsA scoping review was conducted following the framework established by Arksey and O'Malley. We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL for studies examining risk factors influencing nonroutine discharge in surgical patients with spinal metastases. Data extraction was performed independently by two researchers, with discrepancies resolved by a third reviewer.
resultsNine studies were included, which identified a range of factors influencing nonroutine discharge. These factors were categorized into three main domains: (1) sociodemographic factors (age, race, insurance status, marital status, and family member involvement), (2) disease-related factors (spinal cord injury grade, serum albumin level, body mass index, spinal surgery segment, type of surgery, preoperative functional dependency, ASA grade, emergency versus elective surgery, and activities of daily living at discharge), and (3) other factors (frailty index, comorbidity index, and the efficiency of the referral or discharge process).
conclusionThe risk of nonroutine discharge in surgical patients with spinal metastases is influenced by sociodemographic, disease-related, and other factors. Early identification of patients at risk for nonroutine discharge is crucial for implementing a comprehensive, nurse-led discharge plan aimed at reducing hospital stay duration and minimizing related complications.
