Using the LACE index to predict hospital readmissions in congestive heart failure patients

The aim of this study is to validate the accuracy of using the LACE index in CHF patients. METHODS This was a retrospective study. The LACE index score was calculated on each patient who was admitted to hospital due to an acute CHF...
متن کاملPerformance of the LACE index to predict 30-day hospital readmissions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

The use of a prediction model to quantify a patient's risk of readmission may assist in directing interventions to patients who will benefit most. The ...

In our study, we assess clinicians' abilities to independently predict 30-day hospital readmissions, and we compare their abilities with a common prediction tool, the LACE index. METH...
