What are the patient-identified factors related to heart failure readmissions?
Patient-identified reasons for heart failure readmission are multifactorial and heterogeneous, suggesting that interventions to reduce readmissions should be multifaceted and integrate patient input.

Patient interviews uncover nuanced HF readmission drivers; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Retrum et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Heart failure (n=28). Patient-identified factors for readmission was evaluated on Reasons for hospital readmission. Patient-identified reasons for heart failure readmission were highly heterogeneous, multifactorial, and not easily attributed to a single preventable cause.
