Abstract

Unplanned readmissions are common and costly. Factors have been identified that predict readmissions, and predictive algorithms, such as LACE index, have been studied and widely adopted despite variability in predictive ability. We examined the associations between unplanned readmissions and the LACE index, and other variables not in the LACE index.

Evaluation of the associations between unplanned readmissions and the LACE Index and other variables

Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

Unplanned readmissions are common and costly. Factors have been identified that predict readmissions, and predictive algorithms, such as LACE index, have been studied and widely adopted despite variability in predictive ability. We examined the associations between unplanned readmissions and the LACE index, and other variables not in the LACE index.
