The number of days at home within 30 days after surgery (DAH30) is a patient-centred outcome metric that integrates length of hospital stay and any readmission or death within 30 days after a surgical procedure. A group of clinical scientists at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, and Monash University Melbourne, Australia, have now comprehensively evaluated DAH30 as a novel perioperative outcome metric by combining unique information from an array of national health registries and databases across Sweden.
