Key result
A 4-point increase in the B-PREPARED score was associated with a 16% decrease in readmission or death, outperforming CTM-3, though neither predicted outcomes as well as the LACE index.

Does the B-PREPARED score predict readmission or death better than the CTM-3 score in adults hospitalized for cardiovascular diagnoses?

Does the B-PREPARED score predict readmission or death better than the CTM-3 score in adults hospitalized for cardiovascular diagnoses?
Effect estimate: 16% decrease per 4-point increase
The B-PREPARED score is more strongly associated with readmission or death than the CTM-3 score, but administrative indices like LACE remain superior predictors.
Mixon et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular diagnoses. B-PREPARED score vs. CTM-3 score was evaluated on Time to first readmission or death at 30 and 90 days (16% decrease per 4-point increase). A 4-point increase in the B-PREPARED score was associated with a 16% decrease in readmission or death, outperforming CTM-3, though neither predicted outcomes as well as the LACE index.
