Health literacy and numeracy are independently associated with 30- and 90-day readmission or death in patients discharged after an acute coronary syndrome.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May identify high-risk ACS patients; leaves open whether literacy interventions reduce readmission or death.
