Outcomes and Readmission in Patients With Retinal Artery Occlusion (from the Nationwide Readmission Database).

Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) is an ophthalmologic emergency, leading to sudden vision loss. Understanding its risk factors and garnering information on the incidence of adverse events can provide helpful information on the cost-effective evaluation of patients and secondary prevention. In this retrospective cohort study, we used the Nationwide Readmission Database from 2016 to 2018 and queried the database to identify patients with RAO.
