Overview

High 30-day readmission burden in hemodialysis signals need for prevention efforts; leaves open which predictors warrant targeted trials.

Outcome
30-day unplanned readmissionhard clinical

In patients on maintenance hemodialysis, 30-day unplanned readmissions are common (22%), frequently due to discordant diagnoses from the index admission, and disproportionately driven by a small group of high utilizers.
