AI Article Synopsis
- * Methods: Analyzed data from 7,213 patients discharged between September 2013 and July 2014 using statistical models to assess various factors such as demographics and health conditions that might impact readmission rates.
- * Results: About 11.2% of patients were readmitted within 30 days, with higher rates among men, cancer patients, and those admitted through emergency. Home care support clinics significantly decreased readmission rates, and larger hospitals also showed lower rates compared to smaller clinics.
Article Abstract
Aim: To improve preventive strategies for readmission within 30 days after discharge among older patients receiving home medical care services, we examined the associations between readmission within 30 days and the medical institute factors among patients over 75 years of age.
Methods: All patients over 75 years of age receiving home medical care services and who had been admitted to hospital or clinic and discharged between September 2013 and July 2014 in Tokyo, Japan, were participants of this study (n=7,213). The primary outcome was readmission within 30 days after discharge. We performed generalized estimating equations (GEEs) using a model with logit link and binominal sampling distribution to examine the associations of sociodemographic variables, the prevalence of chronic diseases and medical institute factors with readmission within 30 days.
Results: Approximately 11.2% of the patients receiving home medical care services who had been discharged were readmitted within 30 days after discharge. Men, cancer patients, and emergency admission were positively associated with readmission within 30 days according to the GEEs. The rate of readmission within 30 days was lower in patients receiving home medical care services at home care support clinics/hospitals after discharge (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.205, p value < 0.001) and in patients discharged from hospitals with over 200 beds (aOR = 0.447, p value < 0.001, vs. clinics) than in others.
Conclusion: Home care support clinics/hospitals, which can provide home medical care services around the clock, may help reduce the rate of readmission within 30 days.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) practices are evolving under the influence of the current value-based healthcare system and bundled payment models. This study aimed to (1) evaluate national trends in discharge disposition and postoperative outcomes after THA, (2) compare discharge cohorts on episode-of-care parameters, and (3) determine predictors of nonhome discharge from 2011 to 2021.
Methods: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for THA data from 2011 to 2021.
