Assimon et al. (2017) conducted an editorial in Maintenance hemodialysis (n=390,627). Comorbid conditions (e.g., drug abuse history, heart failure, diabetes, and depression) vs. Absence of these comorbid conditions was evaluated on 30-day unplanned hospital readmission. Among 390,627 index hospitalizations in US hemodialysis patients, 22% resulted in at least one unplanned 30-day readmission, with 80% having discordant primary discharge diagnoses.
