Percentage of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients readmitted within 30 days, by functional status and surgical approach. Among functionally independent patients, 30-day readmission was lower following minimally invasive surgery (8.3%) compared to open surgery (12.7%). Similarly, among functionally partially/totally dependent patients, those who underwent minimally invasive surgery had a lower readmission rate (13.7%) than those who had open surgery (18.2%).
