May flag high-risk pediatric asthma patients for closer monitoring; observational data leave open whether interventions reduce readmissions.
Case-Control (n=107)
Odds Ratio: 5.2 (95% CI 1.7–15.4)
Previous NICU admission, chronic comorbidities, and prior asthma admissions are significant risk factors for 30-day readmission in pediatric asthma patients.
Cohen et al. (2000) conducted a case-control in Pediatric asthma (n=107). History of previous NICU admission, co-morbidity, or previous asthma admission vs. Absence of these risk factors was evaluated on Readmission within 30 days of discharge (OR 5.2, 95% CI 1.7-15.4). History of previous NICU admission (OR 5.2; 95% CI 1.7-15.4), co-morbidity (OR 4.3), and previous asthma admission (OR 4.9) were significant risk factors for 30-day readmission in pediatric asthma.
