Impact of Socio-Economic Status on the Hospital Readmission of Congestive Heart Failure Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study
Authors
Abstract:
Background The aim of this study was to examine the impacts of multiple indicators of Socio-economic Status (SES) on Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) related readmission. Methods A prospective study consisting of 315 patients without the history of admission due to CHF was carried out in Tehran during 2010 and 2011. They were classified into quartiles based on their SES applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and followed up for one year. Using stratified Cox regression analysis, Hazard Ratios (HRs) were computed to assess the impact of SES on the readmission due to CHF. Results During the 12 months follow-up, 122 (40%) were readmitted at least once. HR of lowest SES patients vs. the highest SES patients (the fourth versus first quartile) was 2.66 (95% CI= 1.51–4.66). Variables including abnormal ejection fraction (

15 صفحه اولA Profiling Model for Readmission of Patients with Congestive Heart Failure: A multi-hospital study
Mitigating preventable readmissions, where patients are readmitted for the same primary diagnosis within thirty days, is a significant challenge in delivery of high quality healthcare. Towards this end, it is imperative to understand the cause, risk propensity and timing associated with patient readmissions. We develop a patient profiling model that can predict the propensity of readmission for...
