Why the study?

Can detailed pre-discharge follow-up data accurately predict total and cause-specific readmissions within 3 months after CABG?

Population

4,835 patients undergoing isolated CABG in Israel in 1994 who survived the initial hospitalization.

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

3 months

Implication

Cause-specific models outperform total readmission prediction after CABG; leaves open their value as quality metrics pending prospective validation.

Can detailed pre-discharge follow-up data accurately predict total and cause-specific readmissions within 3 months after CABG?

Population

4,835 patients undergoing isolated CABG in Israel in 1994 who survived the initial hospitalization.

Intervention

Logistic and multinomial prediction models using detailed pre-discharge follow-up data (preoperative co-morbidities, operative factors, immediate post-operative complications, socio-demographic characteristics, and provider characteristics).

Outcome

Readmissions within 3 months after CABG (total and cause-specific).hard clinical

Cause-specific readmissions after CABG are more predictable than total readmissions and may serve as a better outcome metric for evaluating quality of care.
