Background: Patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) have a reduced life expectancy and a significant symptom burden. Our aim is to determine if inpatient palliative care (PC) referral for patients with ESLD is associated with decreased hospital readmission rates.
Methods: The 2013 US Nationwide Readmission Database (NRD) was used for the current analysis.
