Neighborhood Socioeconomic Disadvantage and 30-Day Rehospitalization

Key Points

• To evaluate the association between neighborhood-level socioeconomic disadvantage and the rate of 30-day hospital readmissions.
• Assessed geographic and socioeconomic deprivation measures in relation to post-discharge outcomes.
• Evaluated patient return rates within a 30-day follow-up window after initial hospitalization.
• Residence in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods is associated with an elevated likelihood of 30-day rehospitalization.
• Neighborhood-level social determinants significantly influence post-discharge clinical outcomes beyond individual risk factors.
