Abstract
PURPOSE Prior literature reviews have assessed the efficacy and safety of outpatient percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with "outpatient" defined as discharge within twenty-four hours of surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first literature review analyzing ambulatory PCNLs (aPCNL) defined as hospital discharge on the same day as surgery. This review aims to assess the efficacy and safety of same-day discharge after PCNL. METHODS We conducted a search in the PubMed database for key search terms including "ambulatory PCNL", "ambulatory percutaneous nephrolithotomy", "outpatient PCNL", "outpatient percutaneous nephrolithotomy", and "day surgery percutaneous nephrolithotomy". We reviewed articles defining "ambulatory" as discharge the same day the PCNL was performed. 13 papers were identified in our search. RESULTS Overall, we found no difference in complication rates, emergency department visits, and postoperative admissions when comparing outpatient PCNL to inpatient PCNL, and to previously published statistics for inpatient PCNL. Some studies even showed lower rates of adverse outcomes in ambulatory cohorts when compared to inpatient cohorts. Additionally, ambulatory PCNL conferred significant healthcare savings over inpatient PCNL. CONCLUSION This literature review suggests that ambulatory PCNL can be safely performed in both optimal and suboptimal surgical candidates with no significant increase in complications. Additional high-quality studies are warranted to further the evidence surrounding outpatient PCNL and its outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A shift toward same-day discharge (SDD) in primary elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) has created a need to optimize patient selection and improve same-day recovery pathways. The objectives of this study were (1) to identify our institution's most common causes for failed SDD, and (2) to evaluate risk factors associated with failed SDD. METHODS A retrospective review of SDD patients undergoing primary TKA or THA from January 2021 to September 2022 was conducted. Reasons for SDD failure were recorded and differences between successful and failed SDD cases were assessed via a multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS Overall, 85.3% (651 of 753) of patients included were successful SDDs. Failed SDD occurred in 16.8% (74 of 441) of TKA and 11.8% (38 of 322) of THA cases. Primary reasons included failure to clear physical therapy (33.0%, 37 of 112), postoperative hypotension (20.5%, 23 of 112), and urinary retention (16.9%, 19 of 112). Analysis revealed that overall failed SDD cases were more likely to have had prior opioid use and a longer surgical time. Failed TKA SDD cases were more likely to have had a longer surgical time and not have receive a preoperative nerve block, while failed THA SDD cases were more likely to be older. CONCLUSIONS The SDD selection criteria and pathways continue to evolve, with multiple factors contributing to failed SDD. Improving patient selection algorithms and optimizing post-operative pathways can enhance the ability to successfully choose SDD candidates. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The common practice after atrial fibrillation ablation is to admit patients for an overnight stay. The aim of this study was to compare a strategy of vascular suture mediated closure system utilization and early discharge (strategy A) compared to traditional closure and overnight hospitalization (strategy B) regarding feasibility, safety, quality of life and health care cost effectiveness. METHODS AND RESULTS Hundred patients were randomized to compare both strategies. No clinical differences were reported except diabetes mellitus. Six patients (6%) had and emergency visit or were admitted in the first 30 days after procedure. Three occurred in strategy A versus three in strategy B (p = 1) (p < .005 for non-inferiority). Forty out of 50 patients (80%) were safely discharged in a time frame of 3 h and 42 patients (84%) were discharged in the same day of the procedure in strategy A. Time to discharge was shorter in strategy A compared to strategy B. (5.89 ± 7.47 h vs. 27.09 ± 2.29 p < .005). No differences were obtained in quality-of-life outcomes. Mean (95% CI) euros cost saving per patient in strategy A was 379.16 ± 93.55 p < .001. Ten acute complications (10% patients CI 95% 4.02%-15.98%) were reported during the trial. Seven (14% CI 95% 4.04%-23.96%) occurred in strategy A patients versus 3 (6% CI 95% 0.8%-12.8%) in strategy B. (p = .182) CONCLUSION: A strategy of vascular suture mediated closure system utilization and early discharge was feasible, reduced time to discharge, saved costs and was not associated with more complications or admissions/emergency visits in a 30-day time frame after procedure compared to a strategy of regular admission and discharge after overnight stay. There were no differences regarding quality-of-life parameters between both strategies.

Abstract
Introduction and Objectives: Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has gained popularity over the last decade due to its stone-free rate comparable to traditional PCNL but with decreased risk of complications. While the data on mini-PCNL has been favorable thus far, no study today has evaluated outcomes in obese patients. Methods: All patients undergoing mini-PCNL at our institution since we began its use in 2019 were included in this study. Mini-PCNL was defined as access sheath ≤22F in size. An obese group with body mass index (BMI) ≥30 was compared to a nonobese group with BMI <30. A patient was considered relatively stone free if residual fragments were <4 mm on follow-up CT with ≤3 mm cuts. Fisher exact test was used to compare dichotomous differences between variables, and t-test to compare continuous variables. Results: We identified 67 patients who underwent mini-PCNL during the study period with 33 patients in the obese group. Median BMI in the obese group was 36.4 kg/m2 compared to 25.05 kg/m2 in nonobese. There were no blood transfusions in either group during the study period. There was no statistical difference between the obese vs nonobese group for age, access sheath size, change in hemoglobin, same day discharge, percent relatively stone free, emergency department visit within 30 days, and median largest single stone diameter. There was a significant difference in the sum of all treated stone diameter in the obese group (median 15 mm) vs nonobese (median 18 mm, p = 0.02) (Table 1). Conclusion: Mini-PCNL appears to be equally safe and effective in obese and nonobese patients alike. While there was a statistically significantly higher amount of overall stone burden in the nonobese groups, the overall difference is not clinically significant. Further research is needed to validate our experience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Same day discharge (SDD) following chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has received limited study. METHODS We evaluated the clinical, angiographic, and procedural characteristics of patients discharged the same day versus those kept for overnight observation in the Prospective Global Registry for the Study of Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention (PROGRESS-CTO, NCT02061436). RESULTS Of the 7181 patients who underwent CTO PCI, 943 (13%) had SDD. The SDD rate increased from 3% in 2015 to 21% in 2022. Patients with SDD were less likely to have a history of heart failure (21% vs. 26%, p = 0.005), chronic lung disease (10% vs. 15%, p = 0.001), or anemia (12% vs. 19%, p < 0.001). Technical success (87% vs. 88%, p = 0.289) was similar, but in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (0.0% vs. 0.4%, p = 0.041) were lower in SDD. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, prior myocardial infarction odds ratio (OR): 0.71 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.59-0.87, p = 0.001), chronic lung disease OR: 0.64 (95% CI: 0.47-0.88, p = 0.006), and increasing procedure time OR: 0.93 (95% CI: 0.91-0.95, p < 0.001, per 10-min increase) were associated with overnight observation, while radial-only access OR: 2.45 (95% CI: 2.03-2.96, p < 0.001) had the strongest association with SDD. In the SDD, 2 (0.4%) of 514 patients were readmitted, due to retroperitoneal bleeding (n = 1) and ischemic stroke (n = 1). CONCLUSION The overall frequency of SDD after CTO PCI was 13% and has been increasing over time. SDD is feasible in select patients following CTO PCI, and radial-only access had the strongest association with SDD.

Abstract
Endovascular arterial revascularisations for the treatment of symptomatic peripheral arterial disease are constantly increasing in importance and number due to the changing age structure and high numbers of comorbidities in the German population. Patients with peripheral artery disease are often at increased risk for peri- and post-procedural complications including severe cardiovascular events. Due to limited financial and human resources and considerable risks of hospitalization, endovascular interventions that were previously reserved for hospitalized patients are now progressively considered to be performed as day case procedures. More than one third of these procedures are performed in Germany by internists with a specialization in angiology. In the current position paper the German Society of Angiology endorsed by the European Society of Vascular Medicine, summarizes the requirements and risk factors to be considered for the planning, safe performance and post procedural care of endovascular revascularizations in outpatients. The performance of endovascular procedures for peripheral artery disease both in hospitalised and outpatients should be accompanied by a mandatory quality assurance process that should not only capture procedural data, but also require documentation of complications and longterm outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic caused a surge of same-day discharge (SDD) for total joint arthroplasty. However, SDD may not be beneficial for all patients. Therefore, continued investigation into the safety of SDD is necessary as well as risk stratification for improved patient outcomes. METHODS This retrospective cohort study examined 31,851 elective SDD hip and knee arthroplasties from 2016 to 2020 in a large national database. Logistic regression models were used to identify patient variables and preoperative comorbidities that contribute to postoperative complication or readmission with SDD. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. RESULTS SDD increased from 1.4% in 2016 to 14.6% in 2020. SDD is associated with lower odds of readmission (AOR: 0.994, CI: 0.992-0.996) and postoperative complications (AOR: 0.998, CI: 0.997-1.000). Patients who have preoperative dyspnea (AOR: 1.03, CI: 1.02-1.04, P < .001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AOR: 1.02, CI: 1.01-1.03, P = .002), and hypoalbuminemia (AOR: 1.02, CI: 1.00-1.03, P < .001), had higher odds of postoperative complications. Patients who had preoperative dyspnea (AOR: 1.02, CI: 1.01-1.03), hypertension (AOR: 1.01, CI: 1.01-1.03, P = .003), chronic corticosteroid use (AOR: 1.02, CI: 1.01-1.03, P < .001), bleeding disorder (AOR: 1.02; CI: 1.01-1.03, P < .001), and hypoalbuminemia (AOR: 1.01, CI: 1.00-1.02, P = .038), had higher odds of readmission. CONCLUSION SDD is safe with certain comorbidities. Preoperative screening for cardiopulmonary comorbidities (eg, dyspnea, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), chronic corticosteroid use, bleeding disorder, and hypoalbuminemia may improve SDD outcomes.

Abstract
Background Advances in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has made the possibility of facilitating same day discharge (SDD) of patients undergoing intervention. We sought to investigate the feasibility, safety and economic impact of such a service. Methods We retrospectively collected data on all patients undergoing outpatient PCI at our institution over a 12-month period. We included in-hospital and 30-day major adverse cardiac events (MACE), vascular complications, acute kidney injury and any re-hospitalisations. We analysed the cost effectiveness of SDD compared to overnight admission post PCI and staged PCI following diagnostic angiography. Results A total of 147 patients undergoing PCI with 129 patients deemed suitable for SDD (88%). Mean age was 65.7 years. Most patients had type C lesions (60.3%); including 4 chronic total occlusions (CTOs). At 30-day follow-up there were no MACE events (0%). There were 10 (7.8%) re-hospitalisations of which majority (70%) were non cardiac presentations. We also included cost analysis for an elective PCI with SDD, which equated to $2090 per patient (total of $269 610 for cohort). Elective PCI with an overnight admission was $4440 per patient (total of $572 760 for cohort), an additional $2350 per patient (total $303 150). Total cost of an angiogram followed by a staged PCI with an overnight stay was $4700 per patient (total $606 300). Conclusion SDD is safe and feasible in the majority of patients that have elective coronary angiography that require PCI. SDD leads to a significant reduction in total cost and hospital stay of patients undergoing elective PCI.

Abstract
Purpose Enhanced recovery pathways (ERPs) are associated with reduced complications
and length of stay. The validation of the I-FEED scoring system, advances in
perioperative anesthesia, multimodal analgesia, and telehealth remote
monitoring have resulted in further evolution of ERPs setting the stage for
same day discharge (SDD). Pioneers and early adopters have demonstrated the
safety and feasibility of SDD programs. The aim of this study is to evaluate
the impact of a pilot SDD ERP on patient self-reported pain scoring and
narcotic usage. Methods A quality improvement pilot program was conducted to assess the impact of a
SDD ERP on post-operative pain score reporting and opioid use in healthy
patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery as an alternative to
post-operative hospitalization during the COVID-19 pandemic (May
2020-December 2021). Patients were monitored remotely with daily telephone
visits on POD 1-7 assessing the following variables: I-FEED score, pain
score, pain management, bowel function, dietary advancement, any
complications, and/or re-admissions. Results Thirty-seven patients met the highly selective eligibility criteria for
“healthy patient, healthy anastomosis.” SDD occurred in 70%. The remaining
30% were discharged on POD 1. Mean total narcotic usage was 5.2 tablets of
5 mg oxycodone despite relatively high reported pain scores. Conclusions In our initial experience, SDD is associated with significantly lower patient
narcotic utilization for postoperative pain management than hypothesized.
This pilot SDD program resulted in a change in clinical practice with
reduction of prescribed discharge oxycodone 5 mg quantity from #40 to #10
tablets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is now considered an outpatient procedure, yet advanced age impacts patients' ability to achieve outpatient discharge. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the rate of successful outpatient discharge for TKA patients above 70 years of age and identify potential barriers to success. METHODS This retrospective review included 352 unilateral TKA patients. The rapid discharge protocol was followed for all patients with the intention of discharge within a 24-hour period. Successful outpatient discharge was classified as ≤24-hour stay and failure was any stay exceeding a 24-hour period in the hospital. Univariate logistic regressions were performed to determine the influence of independent variables on discharge status for all patients and only patients >70 years old. RESULTS Overall, 46 patients (13%) failed to achieve outpatient discharge, with 35 (76%) patients being ≥70 years old. For patients ≥70, age was not a predictive variable for failure to achieve outpatient discharge (P = .484). However, being female (odds ratio 3.273, 95% confidence interval 1.286-8.325, P = .013) and the use of an assistive walking device (odds ratio 3.031, 95% confidence interval 1.387-6.625, P = .005) remained independent contributors to prolonged hospital stay. CONCLUSION With patients ≥70 years old more likely to require >24-hour stays, age should be an evaluated metric for justifying higher levels of reimbursement. Although TKA is now considered an outpatient procedure, greater consideration should be given to patients ≥70 years old for higher levels of reimbursement as outpatient discharge is less likely to be successful.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the modern era, atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation trend has been shifted toward same-day discharge (SDD), from a traditional overnight stay. Yet, recent studies have not well stated the safety profiles which remained poor-understood and dispersed. We hence performed systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the adverse outcomes of SDD in comparison with an overnight stay. METHODS Databases were searched through January 2021. Effect estimates from the individual studies were extracted and combined using random-effects, generic inverse variance method of der Simonian and Laird. The primary outcomes included total cumulative complications and immediate complications following AF ablation. RESULTS Ten observational studies were met our inclusion criteria, comprising of total population of 11,660 patients, with SDD 51.3%. For total cumulative complications, there were no differences observed between SDD and overnight stay (5.2% vs. 6.2%: pooled OR 0.77: 95% CI 0.55-1.08, p = .13 with I2 = 27.1%). In addition, comparable immediate complications were also demonstrated (5.2 % vs. 4.3: pooled OR 1.08: 95% CI 0.72-1.62, p = .718, with I2 = 37.3 %). CONCLUSION Our study suggested that SDD had similar complication rates, both total cumulative and immediate outcomes, compared with overnight stay in selected patients following AF ablation. Nevertheless, randomized control trials are warranted to validate the findings.

Abstract
As perioperative protocols have improved, there has been a reduction in the rates of key complications after hip and knee arthroplasty. Likewise, as we have been able to make patients more comfortable postoperatively, hospital length of stay has decreased and in some centers, hip and knee arthroplasty is now routinely performed as an outpatient. While the number of surgeons offering this option and patients choosing to have procedures performed as an outpatient grows, many questions revolve around this movement. This article will review the data supporting outpatient arthroplasty, the business and legal aspects involved, if surgeons can align with their hospital to offer these services, and how tightly knit and highly organized teams are key to the success of safely offering hip and knee arthroplasty on an outpatient basis.

Abstract
Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a standardized clinical pathway allows most patients to achieve safe next-day discharge. This approach has been successfully implemented across global centers as part of the Benchmark Program. Considering restricted hospital resources resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, a modified same day discharge (SDD) clinical pathway was implemented for selected TAVR patients at a single Benchmark site. Methods All patients accepted for TAVR were assessed for the SDD clinical pathway. Eligibility criteria included adequate social support and accessibility to the TAVR program post-discharge. Patients with preexisting conduction disease were excluded. The clinical pathway comprised of mobilization, bloodwork and electrocardiogram 4 hours post-TAVR and discharge ≥8 hours following groin hemostasis. Results From June to December 2020, 142 patients underwent TAVR at a single community Benchmark site. Of those, 29 highly selected patients were successfully discharged the same day using the SDD clinical pathway. There were no vascular access complications, permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation, or mortality in the SDD group during index admission or at 30-day follow-up. When compared to a standard therapy group, there was no statistically significant difference in 30-day cardiovascular readmission. Conclusions This study demonstrates the safety and feasibility of same day discharge post-TAVR in a highly selected cohort of patients, with no observable difference in safety outcomes when compared to patients who were discharged according to standard institutional practice.Abbreviations: AS: aortic stenosis; ACT: Activated clotting time; AV: atrioventricular; AVB: atrioventricular block; BBB: bundle branch block; CAIC: Canadian Society for Cardiovascular Angiography; CCL: cardiac catheterization laboratory; CT: Computed topography; CV: cardiovascular; IQR: Interquartile Range; IVCD: intraventricular conduction delay; LBBB: left bundle branch block; LOS: length of stay; NDD: next day discharge; PPM: permanent pacemaker; RBBB: right bundle branch block; SCAI: Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention; SD: standard deviation; SDD: same day discharge; ST: standard therapy; STS PROM: society of thoracic surgeons predicted risk of mortality; TAVR: transcatheter aortic valve replacement; TF: transfemoral; THV: transcatheter heart valve; TTE: transthoracic echocardiogram; VARC: Valve Academic Research Consortium

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) continues moving to the outpatient arena, and may be feasible for some conversion and revision scenarios. Controversy surrounds appropriate patient selection. The purpose of this study is to report complications associated with outpatient revision and conversion THA, and to determine if comorbidities are associated with complications or overnight stay. METHODS From June 2013 through August 2018, 46 patients (47 hips) underwent conversion (n = 10) or revision (n = 37) THA at a free-standing ambulatory surgery centre. This represented only 6.3% of revision THA cases at our institution during the study period that were selected for outpatient surgery. Mean patient age was 58.0 years, and 52% of patients were males. 1 or more major comorbidities were present in 15 patients (32%) including 1 valvular disease, 7 arrhythmia, 2 thromboembolism history, 3 obstructive sleep apnoea, 3 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2 asthma, 4 frequent urination, and 1 renal disease. RESULTS 44 (94%) patients were discharged same day without incident, none required transfer to acute facility, and 3 stayed overnight (2 convenience, 1 for medical reasons - urinary retention). The patient kept overnight for medical reasons had no major comorbidities. 3 patients were placed on an extended course of antibiotics, including 2 with positive intraoperative cultures and 1 for cellulitis. There were no major complications, readmissions, or subsequent surgeries within 90 days. CONCLUSIONS Outpatient revision hip arthroplasty is safe in selected patients undergoing minor or partial revisions. Presence of medical comorbidities was not associated with risk of complications. Medical optimisation and a multimodal programme to mitigate risk of blood loss and reduce narcotic need facilitate the safe performance of arthroplasty in an outpatient setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is common practice to observe patients during an overnight stay (ONS) following a catheter ablation procedure for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). OBJECTIVES To investigate the safety and economic impact of a same-day discharge (SDD) protocol after cryoballoon ablation for treatment of AF in high-volume, geographically diverse US hospitals. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 2374 consecutive patients (1119 SDD and 1180 ONS) who underwent cryoballoon ablation for AF at three US centers. Baseline characteristics, acute procedure-related complications, and longer-term evaluations of safety were recorded during routine clinical follow-up. The mean cost of an ONS was used in a one-way sensitivity analysis to evaluate yearly cost savings as a function of the percentage of SDD cases per year. RESULTS The SDD and ONS cohorts were predominately male (69% vs. 67%; p = .3), but SDD patients were younger (64 ± 11 vs. 66 ± 10; p < .0001) with lower body mass index (30 ± 6 vs. 31 ± 61; p < .0001) and CHA2 DS2 -VASc scores (1.4 ± 1.0 vs. 2.2 ± 1.4; p < .0002). There was no difference between SDD and ONS in the 30-day total complication rate (n = 15 [1.26%] versus n = 24 [2.03%]; p = .136, respectively). The most common complication was hematoma in both the SDD (n = 8; 0.67%) and ONS (n = 11; 0.93%) cohorts. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that when 50% of every 100 patients treated were discharged the same day, hospital cost savings ranged from $45 825 to $83 813 per year across US hospitals. CONCLUSIONS SDD following cryoballoon ablation for AF appears to be safe and is associated with cost savings across different US hospitals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We explore whether same day discharge (SDD) is a feasible and safe practice following rotational atherectomy (ROTA) treatment during elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and examine which baseline characteristics are independently associated with SDD. BACKGROUND SDD following elective ROTA PCI is not recommended as per the recent SCAI consensus. However, reports show it is practiced and no previous study has evaluated its safety and feasibility. METHODS Our dataset included 4,591 patients undergoing elective ROTA PCI in England & Wales within an 8-years period. Independent associations with SDD were quantified via a multiple logistic regression model and the BCIS 30-day mortality risk model was used to evaluate the safety of SDD. RESULTS The majority of elective ROTA PCI cases remain at the hospital for overnight (ON) observation, although SDD rates increased substantially from 6.7% in 2007 to 35.5% in 2014. The use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists, Q wave AMI, left main PCI and valvular heart disease were independently associated with ON, while patients operated underwent transradial PCI were more likely to be SDD (OR = 1.77, 95% CI [1.45-2.15]). Over the study period, observed mortality rates were not significantly higher than those expected from the BCIS risk model. CONCLUSIONS Our findings did not show superiority of the ON strategy over SDD for higher risk cases undergoing elective ROTA PCI, in terms of 30-day mortality. This is the first study to examine the safety of SDD after elective ROTA PCI and more should follow.

Abstract
Introduction: Same-day discharge percutaneous coronary interventions (SDD-PCI) may be quite impactful on healthcare burden for small island developing states (SIDS) such as Trinidad and Tobago. Methods: From June 2012 to November 2014, 11 patients underwent SDD trans-radial PCI and followed up at one-month and three months. Data was retrospectively reviewed from a prospectively entered unit-maintained cardiology database. Baseline patient characteristics, in-hospital expenditure, and complications were assessed. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed in Microsoft Excel. Results: The mean age at SDD-PCI was 50.90±9.96 and nine were male. Nine patients were of East Indian Caribbean ethnicity. Six were diabetic and five were hypertensive. Procedural success was 100% with no major early complication or three-months complications; patient satisfaction was achieved with a potential in-hospital savings up to $1480 USD per patient. Conclusion: This SDD approach for elective trans-radial PCI may be safe and cost-effective in properly selected patients and merits a review of relevant policy issues in Trinidad and Tobago.

Abstract
Background Outpatient anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is performed frequently, with studies demonstrating similar complication and readmission rates compared to traditional admission. Advantages include cost effectiveness, as well as lower risk of nosocomial infections and medical errors, which lead to quicker recovery and higher patient satisfaction. Protocols are needed to ensure that outpatient ACDF occurs safely. The objective of this study was to develop and implement a protocol with patient selection and discharge criteria for patients undergoing same-day discharge (SDD) ACDF and assess readmission rates. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed to identify patients undergoing 1 or 2 level primary ACDF between March 2016 and March 2017 who were eligible for SDD according to the institutional protocol (Figure 1, Table 2). Patients with identical surgery and discharge dates were grouped as SDD, and admitted patients were grouped as same-day admission (SDA). Using our electronic health record's analytics, readmissions in the 90-day postoperative period were identified. Results Of the 434 patients identified, 126 patients were SDD, and 308 were SDA. Baseline characteristics such as age, operative time, and time in the recovery room were significantly different between the 2 groups (Table 2). The average length of stay of admitted patients was 1.48 days, with 77% discharged on postoperative day 1. There was an overall, noninferior readmission rate of 0.8% in the SDD group compared to 0.6% in the SDA group (P = .86). Conclusions The results of this study support the feasibility of outpatient ACDF and add a patient selection and discharge criteria to the literature. Proper identification of suitable patients using our protocol results in a noninferior readmission rate, allowing surgeons to continue to safely perform these surgeries with a low readmission rate. Level of Evidence 3. Clinical Relevance SDD is safe in the appropriate patient population.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the difference, if any, in the quality of life (QoL) at specified intervals in patients undergoing same day discharge (SDD, ambulatory) vs next day discharge (NDD) after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Materials and Methods: Two hundred consecutive patients underwent RALP with either SDD or NDD. They completed validated pain and health-related QoL questionnaires at predefined intervals postoperatively and results were compared between the two groups. Results: Pearson's coefficient revealed significant correlations between the time of discharge and physical well-being (r = -0.139; p = 0.005), emotional well-being (EWB) (r = -0.71; p < 0.001), functional assessment of cancer therapy-general (FACT-G) (r = -0.367; p < 0.001), functional assessment of cancer therapy-prostate (FACT-P) (r = -0.273; p < 0.001), pain severity score (PSS) (r = 0.237; p < 0.001), and pain interference score (PIS) (r = 0.214; p < 0.001). Student's t-test revealed significant (p < 0.001) difference in the means of PSS, PIS, EWB, FACT-G, and FACT-P between both groups. Time of discharge was found to be an independent significant predictor (p < 0.01) of PSS and PIS. Pearson's coefficients revealed that PSS had significant correlations with age (r = -0.60; p < 0.001), body mass index (r = 0.87; p < 0.001), and console time (CT) (r = 0.63; p < 0.001). CT also correlated with the estimated blood loss (r = 0.65; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Patients who were discharged the same day as their RALP had lesser pain and interference in general activity scores 2 days after discharge and had better perceived overall health than patients who were discharged on postoperative day 1.

Abstract
Elements of a successful comprehensive joint replacement program include preoperative education, joint class or camps, office support, and follow-up staff and systems. To meet the demand for consistent and safe outpatient joint replacement discharges, these elements must be optimized and, in many cases, enhanced beyond standard procedures. The office and staff protocols that support the outpatient joint replacement patient before and after surgery are as important as the surgery itself. There are unique consequences, or "ripple effects", of speeding patient recovery after joint replacement surgery and proceeding to early discharges. By understanding these differences and by being proactive, rather than reactive, the enhanced protocols can provide a safe and successful outpatient experience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nowadays 57% of the cardiologists based in the United Kingdom and 32% of the cardiologists based in Canada utilize same day discharge (SDD) following elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as a routine practice. In this analysis, we aimed to systematically assess early versus late clinical outcomes following SDD after elective PCI. METHODS The Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, the Cochrane Central, the Resources from the United States National Library of Medicine (www.ClinicalTrials.gov: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov) and EMBASE were carefully searched for relevant English publications which reported early versus late clinical outcomes in patients who were discharged on the same day following revascularization by PCI. Relevant clinical outcomes which were reported in the original studies were considered as the endpoints in this analysis. Odd ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to represent the data, and RevMan 5.3 was used as the statistical software. RESULTS A total number of 21, 687 participants (enrollment time period from the year 1998 to the year 2015) were assigned to this analysis. When early versus late clinical outcomes were compared in patients who were discharged on the same day following elective PCI, major adverse cardiac events (OR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.31-1.79; P = .51), mortality (OR: 0.26, 95% CI: 0.06-1.06; P = .06), stroke (OR: 1.46, 95% CI: 0.72-2.94; P = .29), arrhythmia (OR: 1.30, 95% CI: 0.64-2.63; P = .47), hematoma (OR: 1.00, 95% CI: 0.60-1.66; P = 1.00) and major bleeding from access site (OR: 1.68, 95% CI: 0.22-12.85; P = .62) were not significantly different. Post-procedural myocardial infarction (OR: 2.01, 95% CI: 0.71-5.70; P = .19) and minor bleeding from access site (OR: 6.61, 95% CI: 0.86-50.66; P = .07) were also similarly manifested. However, re-hospitalization was significantly higher in those patients with late clinical outcomes (OR: 0.18, 95% CI: 0.07-0.44; P = .0002). CONCLUSIONS In those patients who were discharged from the hospital on the same day following elective PCI, no significant difference was observed in the assessed early versus late clinical outcomes. However, late clinical outcomes resulted in a significantly higher rate of re-hospitalization. Larger studies should confirm this hypothesis.
