BACKGROUND Reducing hospital readmissions for patients with heart failure is a national priority, and quality improvement campaigns are targeting reductions of ≥20%. However, there are limited data on whether such targets have been met. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed data from the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure registry linked to Medicare claims between 20...
BACKGROUND As of October 1, 2012, hospitals in the United States with excess readmissions based on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) risk-adjusted ratio began being penalized. Given the impact of high readmission rates to hospitals nationally, it is important for individual hospitals to identify which patients may be at highest risk of readmission. The objective of this study...
Aims To create a profile of emergency readmissions to the Department of Surgery, Victoria Hospital, Blackpool (June-July 2010) encompassing the following profile elements: Patient demographics, source of admission, surgical specialty involved in patient care, duration of hospital stay during admissions, gap between discharge and readmission, reason for readmission, surgical procedure and invest...
BACKGROUND One quality indicator of hospital care, which can be used to judge the process of care, is the prevalence of hospital readmission because it reflects the impact of hospital care on the patient's condition after discharge. The purposes of the study were to measure the prevalence of hospital readmissions, to identify possible factors that influence such readmission and to measure the p...
BACKGROUND Despite initial recovery from critical illness, many patients deteriorate after discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU). We examined prospectively collected data in an attempt to identify patients at risk of readmission or death after intensive care discharge. METHODS This was a secondary analysis of clinical audit data from patients discharged alive from a mixed medical and s...
BACKGROUND Thirty-day readmission rates have been tied to hospital reimbursement in the United States, but remain controversial as measures of healthcare quality. We profile the timing, main diagnoses, and survival outcomes of inpatient and emergency department readmissions after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), based on a large regional database. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients enrolled in the Al...
BACKGROUND Both Clostridium [corrected] difficile infection (CDI) rates in hospitals and interest in reducing 30-day readmission rates have increased dramatically in the United States. The objective of this study was to characterize the burden of CDI on 30-day hospital readmissions at a tertiary care health-system. METHODS A patient discharge database was used to identify patients with a CDI ...
OBJECTIVES Identifying patients at risk of a 30-day readmission can help providers design interventions, and provide targeted care to improve clinical effectiveness. This study developed a risk model to predict a 30-day inpatient hospital readmission for patients in Maine, across all payers, all diseases and all demographic groups. METHODS Our objective was to develop a model to determine the...
UNLABELLED MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) is a proinflammatory cytokine involved in chemotaxis of monocytes. In several diseases, such as acute coronary syndromes and heart failure, elevated MCP-1 levels have been associated with poor outcomes. Little is known about MCP-1 in cirrhosis. AIM To investigate the relationship between MCP-1 and outcome in decompensated cirrhosis. METH...
