Key result
Among 150,215 patients undergoing isolated CABG, the 30-day readmission rate was 15.5%, with discharge disposition and hospital factors significantly influencing readmission risk.
Why the study?
Coronary artery bypass grafting 30-day unplanned readmission is a focus for the CMS Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, making awareness of care delivery environment elements and patient profiles essential to reduce readmissions.
What patient and hospital-level factors influence 30-day all-cause readmission after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting?
Observational (n=150,215)
Yes
What patient and hospital-level factors influence 30-day all-cause readmission after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting?
Effect estimate: AUC 0.709 (95% CI 0.702-0.716)
Readmission after coronary artery bypass grafting is strongly influenced by discharge disposition as well as hospital factors such as scale, personnel, and ownership structure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Discharge disposition and hospital factors may inform post-CABG readmission risk; leaves open whether targeted interventions reduce rates.
Rogers et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (n=150,215). Hospital characteristics and discharge disposition was evaluated on all-cause 30-day readmission (AUC 0.709, 95% CI 0.702-0.716). Among 150,215 patients undergoing isolated CABG, the 30-day readmission rate was 15.5%, with discharge disposition and hospital factors significantly influencing readmission risk.
