Key result
Combining risk variables for government insurance and unplanned reoperation was associated with the highest risk of 30-day readmission after CABG (OR 5.7; 95% CI 1.7-18.7).

What are the risk factors for 30-day readmission after coronary artery bypass surgery?
Odds Ratio: 5.7 (95% CI 1.7–18.7)
Readmissions after CABG occur in 13% of patients, typically within the first week, and are strongly associated with abnormal discharge creatinine, government insurance, and unplanned reoperations.

May support risk stratification for readmission after CABG; leaves open prospective validation of targeted interventions.
Price et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery bypass surgery (n=1,205). Risk factors (abnormal serum creatinine, government insurance, unplanned reoperation) vs. Absence of risk factors was evaluated on Readmission within 30 days (OR 5.7, 95% CI 1.7 to 18.7). Combining risk variables for government insurance and unplanned reoperation was associated with the highest risk of 30-day readmission after CABG (OR 5.7; 95% CI 1.7-18.7).
