BACKGROUND: Hospital readmissions are core indicators of the quality of health care provision.
OBJECTIVE: To understand factors associated with 30-day, all-cause hospital readmission rate for patients with COVID-19 in the United States during the early pandemic by utilizing the Nationwide Readmissions Database.
METHODS: This retrospective study characterized the 30-day, all-cause hospital readmission rate for patients with COVID-19 in the United States during the early pandemic by utilizing the Nationwide Readmissions Database.
RESULTS: The 30-day, all-cause hospital readmission rate in this population was 3.2%. We found the most common diagnoses at readmission to be sepsis, acute kidney injury, and pneumonia. Chronic alcoholic liver cirrhosis and congestive heart failure were prominent predictors of readmission among patients with COVID-19. Moreover, we found that younger patients and patients from economically disadvantaged backgrounds were at higher risk of 30-day readmission. Acute complications during index hospitalization, including acute coronary syndrome, congestive heart failure, acute kidney injury, mechanical ventilation, and renal replacement therapy, also increased the risk of 30-day readmission for patients with COVID-19.
CONCLUSION: Based on the results of our study, we advise clinicians to promptly recognize patients with COVID-19 who are at high risk of readmission, and to subsequently manage their underlying comorbidities, to institute timely discharge planning, and to allocate resources to underprivileged patients in order to decrease the risk of 30-day hospital readmissions.
