Relationship between in-hospital adverse events and hospital performance on 30-day all-cause mortality and readmission for patients with heart failure.
Wang Y, Eldridge N, Metersky ML, et al. Relationship between in-hospital adverse events and hospital performance on 30-Day all-cause mortality and readmission for patients with heart failure. Circ Cardiovasc Qual Outcomes. 2023;16(7):e009573. doi:10.1161/circoutcomes.122.009573.
Unplanned hospital readmission and 30-day all-cause mortality rates are indicators of hospital safety. This study analyzed the association of these two indicators with in-hospital adverse events (AE) for patients admitted with heart failure. Results suggest patients with heart failure admitted to hospitals with high rates of 30-day all-cause mortality and readmission are at increased risk for in-hospital AE. The authors describe several possible explanations for these findings.
