Background And Objectives: Hospital readmission rate helps to highlight the effectiveness of post-discharge care. There remains a paucity of plausible age-based categorization especially for ages below one year for hospital readmission rates.
Methods: Data from the 2017 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National Readmissions Database was analyzed for ages 0-18 years.
Background And Objectives: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) leads to significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients and increases the readmission rates for hospitalizations. This study evaluates the risk factors and comorbidities associated with an increase in 30-day readmissions among pediatric PH patients.
Methods: National Readmission Database (NRD) 2017 was searched for patients less than 18 years of age who were diagnosed with PH based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10).
Background: There are few studies looking into adult, all-cause and age-group-specific unplanned readmissions. The predictors of such unplanned readmissions for all inpatient encounters remain obscure.
Aims: To describe the incidence and factors associated with unplanned readmissions in all inpatient encounters in the United States.
Introduction: This study aimed to describe the rates and causes of unplanned readmissions within 30 days following carotid artery stenting (CAS) and to use artificial intelligence machine learning analysis for creating a prediction model for short-term readmissions. The prediction of unplanned readmissions after index CAS remains challenging. There is a need to leverage deep machine learning algorithms in order to develop robust prediction tools for early readmissions.

In this review, we discuss in detail the invasive mechanical non-cell therapy-based options, the evidence behind these therapies, and future trends.
Recent Findings: There is extensive ongoing research in the areas of spinal-cord stimulation, transmyocardial laser revascularization, sympathectomy, angiogenesis, and other non-cell-based therapies to explore the best therapy for refractory angina.
Background And Purpose: Smartphone applications have been increasingly identified as a novel platform for dissemination of healthcare related information. However, there have been no studies done to evaluate the availability and content of stroke related apps.
Purpose: This study aims to identify and analyze stroke-related applications available on the Apple iTunes and Android Google Play Store.
