Thirty-Day Readmission Rates after Takotsubo Syndrome with or without Malignancy: A Nationwide Readmissions Database Analysis

The association between malignancy and readmission after Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) hospitalization has not been fully described. We sought to examine the rates, cause, cost of 30-day readmissions TTS, with or without malignancy, by utilizing Nationwide Readmissions Databases from 2010 2014. identified 61,588 index hospitalizations for TTS. TTS patients tended be older (70.6 ± 0.2 vs. 66.1 0.1, p < 0.001), overall burden comorbidities was higher than in those malignancy. had significantly rates (15.9% 11.0%; odds ratio (OR), 1.35; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.18–1.56). Non-cardiac causes were most common versus (75.5% 68.1%, 0.001). rate due recurrent very low both groups (0.4% 0.5%; = 0.47). total costs 25% (p 0.001) In summary, among hospitalized presence associated increased risk costs. These findings highlight importance optimized management
