Background: Early physician follow-up after hospital discharge is commonly recommended, though whether it mitigates adverse events is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the association between physician follow-up within 30 days of hospital discharge and risk of hospital readmission, emergency department (ED) visits, or mortality in medical patients.
Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL electronic databases were searched from inception to April 2023.
