Key result
In patients with unplanned ICU readmission, the overall in-hospital mortality rate was 34.3%, and cardiovascular organ dysfunction significantly increased the risk of death (adjusted OR 5.14).

Early ICU readmission often stems from respiratory failure or cardiac issues; leaves open targeted prevention strategies for prospective study.

Unplanned ICU readmission within 48 hours is associated with a high in-hospital mortality rate of 34.3%, driven primarily by high APACHE II scores, underlying malignancy, and cardiovascular organ dysfunction.
Lin et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) readmission (n=99). Cardiovascular organ dysfunction vs. Absence of cardiovascular organ dysfunction was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (adjusted OR 5.14, 95% CI 1.24-21.38, p=0.024). In patients with unplanned ICU readmission, the overall in-hospital mortality rate was 34.3%, and cardiovascular organ dysfunction significantly increased the risk of death (adjusted OR 5.14).
