Introduction to Hospital Readmission

The secondary outcome was to measure the need for noninvasive ventilation, need for admission to intensive care unit (ICU) in the initial visit, to evaluate the safety of magnesium sulphate and need for clinic revisit, hospital readmission and ICU readmission within 2 wk after discharge in both the groups.

The patient-centered health outcomes evaluated included all-cause mortality, hospital length of stay, 30-day hospital readmissions, hospital-acquired pneumonia, days of intubation or reintubation, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and ICU transfers, patient comfort, dyspnea, delirium, barotrauma, compromised nutrition, gastric dysfunction, functional independence at discharge, discharge disposition, and skin breakdown.

BACKGROUND Lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has been shown to predict a higher risk of hospital readmission and mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).

The clinical outcomes such as health-related quality of life, hospital readmissions, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels, symptom perception, functional status, left ventricular ejection fraction, Seattle HF score, self-care behaviour and knowledge on HF will be measured at the baseline, after 1 and 6 months of the intervention.

Programs developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) such as the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP), which aim to improve quality by impacting reimbursement rates for hospitals with high 30-day readmission rates, further impose strain among hospitals.

MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES We examined the association between depression severity and 30-day readmissions using logistic regression, adjusting for known predictors of hospital readmission.

Hospital readmissions following severe infections are a major economic burden on the health care system and have a negative influence on patients' quality of life.

Hospital readmissions are costly for health-care system and are regarded as a quality of care index.

To assess whether geriatric co-management combined with an interdisciplinary transitional care intervention could reduce 30-day hospital readmission rate compared to usual care in hospitalized frail older patients in a tertiary hospital in Argentina.

Background Medicare’s Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP), implemented beginning in 2013, seeks to incentivize Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) hospitals to reduce 30-day readmissions for selected inpatient cohorts including acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and pneumonia.

Health outcomes were compared between those with/without depression including length of hospital stay (LOS), inpatient mortality, and 30 day emergency hospital readmissions.

Postoperative (30-day) emergency department (ED) visits, hospital readmissions, and reoperations were compared between patients who were discharged shortly after surgery (same-day discharge [SDD] group) and patients who were discharged after spending one night in the hospital (overnight observation group).

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between the number of physical and occupational therapist visits received in the acute care hospital and the risk of hospital readmission or death.

Acute-care hospital reencounters (ACHEs)—encompassing emergency department visits, observation stays, and hospital readmissions—following COVID-19 hospitalization may exacerbate health care system strain and impair recovery from illness.

Clinical outcomes including LOS, 30-day all-cause hospital readmission, and in-hospital and 30-day mortality in the post-intervention group were stratified by patients not on ART, on ART at admission, and started on ART as a result of the intervention.

We estimated the associations between pain severity, medication utilization, and the following outcomes: 30-day mortality, 30-day hospital readmission, and ED disposition.

We propose a novel hybrid deep learning model, DeepNote-GNN, that integrates clinical notes information and patient network topological structure to improve 30-day hospital readmission prediction.

We describe a rare case of bullous pemphigoid, an autoimmune skin blistering disorder, that occurred after total knee arthroplasty in an otherwise healthy patient and led to hospital readmission.

Background In 2014, the Affordable Care Act Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program began penalizing hospitals for excessive readmission rates 30 days after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience high rates of hospital readmissions, placing substantial clinical and economic strain on the healthcare system.

Objectives: Prior studies have shown that patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) have a high hospital readmission rate and that close outpatient follow-up may reduce the need for hospital readmission.

Background: Among Medicare value-based payment programs for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program uses International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes to identify the program denominator, while the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced program uses diagnosis-related groups (DRGs).

INTRODUCTION While survival after acute myocardial infarction has improved substantially, older adults remain at heightened risk for poor hospital readmissions and death.

This is known to lead to significant morbidity including acute kidney injury, hospital readmission and non-commencement or non-completion of chemotherapy.

The course was complicated by acute kidney injury temporarily requiring haemodialysis, gastrointestinal bleed requiring multiple transfusions and hospital readmission with blood cultures again positive with MDR Kp.

While COPD is characterized by frequent exacerbation and hospital readmission, it was emphasized that most failed discharges could be attributed to bureaucratic organizational workflow which might not be in the patient’s best interest.

BACKGROUND Previous studies on readmissions after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation have focused on hospital readmissions after dismissal from the index hospitalization.

Retrospective case series Tertiary care medical center Consecutive adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 illness between March 26, 2020, and April 8, 2020, with a subset discharged home COVID-19 Discharge Care Program consisting of lenient provisional inpatient discharge criteria and option for daily telephone monitoring for up to 14 days after discharge Fourteen-day emergency department (ED) visits and hospital readmissions Among 812 patients with COVID-19 illness hospitalized during the study time period, 15.

TO was defined as freedom from intraoperative complication, postoperative reintervention, 30-day ICU or hospital readmission, length of stay >75th percentile of LTx patients, 90-day mortality, 30-day acute rejection, grade 3 primary graft dysfunction at 48 or 72 hours, postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, tracheostomy within 7 days, inpatient dialysis, reintubation, and extubation >48 hours post-transplant.

Compared to standard approach, there were no significant differences in in-hospital mortality, 30-day mortality, or hospital readmissions.

The 7-day revisit rate was 11% (11 revisits to ED; 6 hospital readmissions), the 14-day revisit rate was 14% (14 revisits to ED; 7 hospital readmissions), and the 30-day revisit rate was 24% (20 revisits to ED; 16 hospital readmissions).

Background Previous studies have shown cardiovascular disease (CVD) to be a risk factor in the prediction of 30-day hospital readmission among patients receiving dialysis.

We employed text-mining techniques to extract psychosocial topics that are representative of these patients and tested the utility of these topics in predicting 30-day hospital readmission beyond the predictive value of the LACE Index for Readmission.

Secondary outcomes included advance directive completion, emergency department visits, unplanned hospitalizations, average length of stay, unplanned hospital readmissions, chemotherapy dose modifications, and early discontinuation.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services identified unplanned hospital readmissions as a critical healthcare quality and cost problem.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether patient navigation services reduce hospital readmissions.

Purpose of Study: To evaluate whether screening for homelessness during hospitalization and deploying outpatient care managers (CMs) to the inpatient setting to rapidly connect patients to community social services reduce hospital readmissions.

METHODS We surveyed instrumentalization goals in 103 male and 78 female in-patients with AUD (pre/post onset of AUD), compared them with the goals of 124 male and 96 female age-matched non-addicted controls, and investigated whether instrumentalization goals predict 24-month alcohol-related hospital readmissions in the patients with a false discovery rate approach.

The primary outcome was a composite of incidence of cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, cardiac death, and cardiac related hospital readmission.

003) and 30-day all-cause hospital readmissions (7.

Observed hospital length of stay (LOS), LOS index, and 30-day all cause hospital readmission comparisons between treatment group and a comparison group on the same unit, and between cross-sectional comparison groups one year prior were used for Difference in Difference analysis.

INTRODUCTION Patients with liver disease have high rates of early hospital readmission, but there are no studies of effective, scalable interventions to reduce this risk.

To prevent early hospital readmission, coordinated discharge planning and individual therapeutic approach are recommended.

Why? Reducing hospital readmissions decreases patient suffering.

This type of service allows a provider to continue to track healthcare data remotely and diagnose, treat, and monitor treatment adherence and titrate medications with the goal of providing patient care locally and reducing hospital readmission rates and complications.

Seven children required hospital readmission, 5 SILA and 2 CLA (P = 0.

6% required hospital readmission and 5.

Health outcomes were compared between those with/without depression including length of hospital stay (LOS), inpatient mortality, and 30 day emergency hospital readmissions.

In secondary analysis, 30 days emergency hospital readmission, length of stay and mortality within 30 days of discharge were also investigated.

While there is some evidence about strategies to better integrate care, improve older patients’ experiences at transitions of care, and reduce preventable hospital readmissions, implementing these strategies at scale is challenging.

Paradoxically, the quality of family care for people living with Severe Mental Illness (PLSMI) has been linked to support for recovery, hospital overstay and preventable hospital readmissions.

Background: The relationship between severe maternal morbidity (SMM) events during inpatient delivery and subsequent hospital readmission is not well understood.

Outpatient procedures were also associated with decreased hospital resource utilization with a noted lower risk of subsequent hospital readmission (Single OR 0.

We propose that specialized, comprehensive rehabilitation program (COLTT) can be initiated immediately after discharge to (1) improve functional outcomes (2) decrease hospital readmission.

Efforts to decrease hospital readmissions following IS may improve quality and cost of care.

Background Limited health literacy is a national health crisis contributing to poor health outcomes including increased hospital readmissions, increased healthcare cost, decreased use of preventive services, and increased morbidity and mortality.

Half of the patients who were referred for postoperative assessment were lost to follow-up, and there was a trend towards increased hospital readmissions in this group.

Evidence also suggested that the PLASMA system reduced hospital readmissions compared with mTURP, increasing cost savings to £418–£534 per procedure.

Percutaneous mitral valve leaflet repair was associated with reduced hospital readmissions and potential cost-savings in post-procedural care.

081 indicating superior performance in predicting hospital readmissions in the majority group vs.

Predicting hospital readmission with effective machine learning techniques has attracted a great attention in recent years.

Objectives: Prior studies have shown that patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) have a high hospital readmission rate and that close outpatient follow-up may reduce the need for hospital readmission.

Attention to care transitions has become super-charged by policies promoting value-based payment models, incentivizing performance based on patient experience surveys, and penalizing providers for high hospital readmission rates.

7%) patients had at least one hospital readmission for HF and 151 (7.

Five serious adverse events were reported: three in the hypothermia group (one hospital readmission relating to pneumonia, one septic arthritis, and one suspected venous thrombosis), and two in the control group (one related to desaturations during MRI and other because of endotracheal tube displacement during transport for MRI).
