METHODS Using unit-record mortality data, we calculated avoidable mortality rates in Australia for 1968-2001. We partitioned avoidable c...

We reviewed urgent readmissions to determine which were potentially avoidable and compared rates of all-cause and avoidable readmissions. METHODS In a multicentre, prospective cohort study, we reviewed all urgent readmissions that occurred within six months among patients discharged to...

OBJECTIVES To measure variations in the Holland and Charlton classifications of avoidable death causes and to estimate the effect of the Spanish national health system on avoidable mortality. DESIGN Mortality in the Valencian Community was assessed between 1975 and 1990. The classifications of Holland and Charlton, used to assess avoidable causes of death, were compared. Holland's classificat...
OBJECTIVE Potentially avoidable hospitalizations have been identified by experts as leading to poor health outcomes and costly care. Potentially avoidable hospitalizations are particularly common among full-benefit dual eligible beneficiaries. This paper examines potentially avoidable hospitalizations rates by setting, state, and medical condition, and the average cost of these events. METHOD...
OBJECTIVE Hospital admissions for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (also called avoidable hospitalizations) are a measure of quality and access to outpatient care. We determined if young patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at increased risk of avoidable hospitalizations. METHODS A national organ failure registry was used to identify patients with ESRD onset at <22 years of ag...
