Brown et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Intensive care unit (ICU) readmission (n=196,202). Admission to an academic hospital vs. Admission to a community hospital without residents was evaluated on 48-hour ICU readmission (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.12-2.02). Medical patients in academic hospitals had higher odds of 48-hour ICU readmission compared to those in community hospitals without residents (OR 1.51; 95% CI 1.12-2.02).
