- aSSI: Surgical site infection. The category “Other infections” included readmission for unexplained severe gastritis, hypotension of unknown cause prompting transfer to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU), upper-extremity ischemia presumed to be caused by vasospasm, respiratory depression from opiate overdose requiring SICU transfer, readmission for biliary colic requiring surgical intervention, readmission for chylous ascites requiring paracentesis and postdural puncture headache requiring epidural blood patch (n = 1 for each complication).
