Discharge readiness and its predictors in post craniotomy patients: A single-centre study at a tertiary care hospital in Northern India.

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
backgroundPost-craniotomy care presents unique challenges, often requiring careful monitoring and extensive support to facilitate a smooth transition from surgery to discharge. While same-day discharge following routine surgeries has become common, cranial surgeries typically require longer inpatient stays due to concerns about postoperative complications. This study evaluates post-craniotomy discharge readiness and its predictors, focusing on physical ability, emotional well-being, and support systems. MATERIAL AND
methodsA single-center study at a tertiary care hospital recruited 160 post-craniotomy patients from January 2022 to December 2023. The Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) was utilized to assess discharge readiness under various domains, including personal status, knowledge, coping ability, and expected support. Statistical analysis included Pearson correlation and stepwise regression analysis.
resultsRegression analysis indicated a positive correlation between higher education levels and discharge readiness (B = 6.232,
conclusionHigher education levels positively impact readiness, potentially indicating a greater understanding of postoperative care requirements. Conversely, lower satisfaction levels, caregiver presence, and comorbidities are associated with decreased readiness. Overall, understanding these predictors can aid healthcare professionals in optimizing discharge planning and support systems for promoting smoother transitions and improved outcomes following surgery.
