Key result
The estimated 30-day readmission rate after CABG was 16.1%, with diabetes, asthma, hyperlipidemia, and specific medications significantly correlated with readmission (P=0.04).
Why the study?
CABG is associated with high readmission rates that increase healthcare costs, motivating an assessment of 30-day readmission rates and associated risk factors.
Population
Adult patients who underwent CABG between January 1, 2016, and January 31, 2019 at King Abdulaziz Medical City
Design
Retrospective cohort study
Follow-up
30 days

May inform risk stratification after CABG; leaves open whether targeting diabetes or hyperlipidemia reduces readmissions.

p-value: p== .04
Following CABG, approximately 1 in 6 patients are readmitted within 30 days, highlighting the need for targeted strategies addressing risk factors like diabetes, asthma, and specific medication use.
Alghafees et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Risk factors (diabetes mellitus, asthma, hyperlipidemia, amiodarone, statins, amlodipine) was evaluated on 30-day readmission (p== .04). The estimated 30-day readmission rate after CABG was 16.1%, with diabetes, asthma, hyperlipidemia, and specific medications significantly correlated with readmission (P=0.04).
