Key result
Gender, race, and longer lengths of stay due to complications were associated with an increased risk of unplanned readmissions following cardiac surgery.
Why the study?
What are the predictors of unplanned readmissions in cardiac surgery patients following discharge?
What are the predictors of unplanned readmissions in cardiac surgery patients following discharge?

May inform readmission risk stratification after cardiac surgery; leaves open prospective validation and intervention trials.
Fasken et al. (2001) conducted a review in Cardiac surgery. Risk factors (gender, race, length of stay) was evaluated on Unplanned readmissions. Gender, race, and longer lengths of stay due to complications were associated with an increased risk of unplanned readmissions following cardiac surgery.
