Why the study?
Readmissions within 30 days after HF hospitalisation are an important healthcare quality metric, but their impact on medium-term mortality was unclear in an Australian setting.
Does unplanned 30-day readmission increase 1-year mortality in patients surviving 30 days after incident heart failure hospitalisation?
Does unplanned 30-day readmission increase 1-year mortality in patients surviving 30 days after incident heart failure hospitalisation?
Unplanned 30-day readmission after incident heart failure hospitalization is associated with a two- to three-fold higher risk of 1-year mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Early readmissions after incident HF hospitalization signal higher 1-year mortality; hypothesis-generating for targeted prevention trials.
Weber et al. (2023) studied this question.
