Key result
Among maintenance hemodialysis patients, 32.1% had a 30-day readmission, with risk factors including serum albumin <3.3 g/dl (OR 4.28; 95% CI 2.37-7.73) and nonuniversity-affiliated dialysis.

Discharge predictors identify high-risk hemodialysis patients; leaves open whether targeted interventions reduce 30-day readmissions.

Hospital discharge data, including factors like low serum albumin and nonuniversity-affiliated outpatient dialysis, are strong predictors of 30-day readmission in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
Flythe et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Maintenance hemodialysis (n=349). Hospital admission and discharge risk factors was evaluated on 30-day hospital readmission. Among maintenance hemodialysis patients, 32.1% had a 30-day readmission, with risk factors including serum albumin <3.3 g/dl (OR 4.28; 95% CI 2.37-7.73) and nonuniversity-affiliated dialysis.
