What are the rates, causes, and predictors of 30-day readmission after upper and lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage?
Absolute Event Rate: 14.6% vs 14.4%
Gastrointestinal and cardiac etiologies are the most common causes of 30-day readmission following index admissions for upper and lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
Patel et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Upper and lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage (n=215,404). Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage vs. Lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage was evaluated on All-cause 30-day readmission. All-cause 30-day readmission rates were 14.6% for upper and 14.4% for lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage, with gastrointestinal causes being the most common etiology for both.
