Risk factors and costs associated with nationwide nonelective readmission after trauma

Most prior studies of readmission after trauma have been limited to single institutions, whereas multi-institutional studies have been limited to single states and an inability to distinguish between elective and nonelective readmissions. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors and costs associated with nonelective readmission after trauma across the United States. The Nationwide Readmission Database was queried for all patients with nonelective admissions in 2013 and 2014 with a primary diagnosis of trauma. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression identified risk factors for 30-day nonelective same- and different-hospital readmission. The diagnosis groups on readmission were evaluated, and the total cost of readmissions was calculated. There were 1,180,144 patients admitted for trauma, the 30-day readmission rate was 9.4%, and 26.4% of readmissions occurred at a different hospital. The median readmission cost for patients readmitted to the same hospital was $8,298 (interquartile range,$4,899-$14,911), whereas the median readmission cost for patients readmitted to a different hospital was$8,568 (interquartile range, $4,935-$16,078; p < 0.01). Multivariate regression revealed that patients discharged against medical advice were at increased risk of readmission (odds ratio, 2.79; p < 0.01) and readmission to a different facility (odds ratio, 1.58; p < 0.01). Home health care was associated with a decreased risk of readmission to a different hospital (odds ratio, 0.74; p < 0.01). Septicemia and disseminated infections were the most common diagnoses on readmission (8.4%) and readmission to a different hospital (8.6%). A significant portion of US readmissions occur at different hospitals with implications for continuity of care, quality metrics, cost, and resource allocation. Home health care reduces the likelihood of nonelective readmission to a different hospital. Infection was the most common reason for readmission, with ramifications for outcomes research and quality improvement. Care management/epidimeological, level IV

Readmission and reinjury patterns in pediatric assault victims

Repeated pediatric assault should be a never event. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the readmission and reinjury patterns in pediatric victims of assault including readmissions to different hospitals across the US. The 2010-2014 Nationwide Readmissions Database was queried for all nonelective admissions for patients under the age of 18 years. Primary outcomes were readmission or reinjury within 1 year. Results were weighted for national estimates. Assault-related injury occurred in 46,294 pediatric patients with 11.4% of patients being readmitted within 1 year. Of those readmitted, 35.2% presented to a different hospital. Reinjury within 1 year occurred in about 1% of patients, with 14.8% of those presenting to a different hospital. Age  15, female gender, and leaving AMA were found to be independent prognostic indicators of readmission within 1 year among pediatric assault patients. Care of children who are admitted and discharged for assault injuries is more fragmented that previously thought. Quality metrics fail to capture this previously hidden population. Our results identify treatable factors which could improve the care of children after assault
