Abstract
Unplanned hospital readmissions are of major interest for health care quality control across all medical subspecialties; however, published data for pediatric ophthalmology are lacking. We reviewed the most common reasons for unplanned pediatric readmissions within 30days of discharge at a referral eye center in the Middle East. Of the top 5 reasons, 3 were related to problems following corneal suturing, often in the context of penetrating keratoplasty, highlighting that children for whom this is done require particular care and follow-up.
