Readmission Risk Factors in Patients Receiving Geriatric Rehabilitation

Numerous studies have been conducted on hospital readmissions among older persons within 30 days following release, but few have examined the entire procedure. In this study, we looked into risk variables that were connected to discharge, transition of care, and follow-up procedures as well as patient characteristics prior to and events during the initial hospitalisation. In order to develop strategies to reduce early readmissions in this population, we set out to identify the patients who were most at risk of being readmitted as well as the processes that needed improvement the most. In total, 720 patients were included in this comparative retrospective analysis. Variables pertaining to patient characteristics before and during the first hospital stay, as well as those pertaining to the processes of discharge, transition of care, and follow-up, were collected in a conventional manner while reviewing medical records.
