Thirty-day readmission rates, reasons, and costs for gastrointestinal angiodysplasia-related bleeding in the USA.

Background: Patients with gastrointestinal angiodysplasia (GIA)-related bleeding are at high risk for readmissions, resulting in significant morbidity and an economic burden on the healthcare system.

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the 30-day readmission rate with reasons, predictors, and costs associated with GIA-related bleeding in the USA.

Methods: We queried the National Readmission Database to identify patients hospitalized with GIA-related bleeding in the year 2016 using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes.

Rate, reasons, predictors, and burden of readmissions after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement.

Background And Aim: Nationwide data on readmissions after the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure are lacking. We aimed to investigate the 30-day readmission rate after TIPS procedure, reasons, and predictors for readmissions and its impact on resource utilization and mortality in the USA.

Methods: We identified all adults who underwent an inpatient TIPS procedure between 2010 and 2014 using the National Readmission Database.
