Objectives: In this study, the effects of sociodemographic and clinical factors on heart failure (HF) readmission risk were examined.
Background: Hospitals now incur financial penalties for excessive HF readmission rates; therefore, identifying factors associated with risk is essential for designing risk-reduction strategies.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study using chart reviews compared HF inpatients (N = 245) who were readmitted with those who were not readmitted.
