OBJECTIVE To assess trends in and risk factors for readmission to hospital across the age continuum. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS 31 729 762 index hospital admissions for all conditions in 2013 from the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Nationwide Readmissions Database. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE 30 day, all cause, unplanned hospital readmissions. Odds of ...

The number of unplanned readmissions is an important quality improvement indicator for Australian hospitals, as it has a direct impact on costs and patient outcomes. It is a useful indicator for patient multi-morbidity to identify patients that should potentially have different treatment or discharge plans. The objective of the Health Insights Challenge project was to develop a predictive model...

Load theory of attention proposes that distractor processing is reduced in tasks with high perceptual load that exhaust attentional capacity within task-relevant processing. In contrast, tasks of low perceptual load leave spare capacity that spills over, resulting in the perception of task-irrelevant, potentially distracting stimuli. Tsal and Benoni (2010) find that distractor response competit...

The basic principle of in situ leaching is chemical mining. process to inject solution into the ore body, and spread pores mountain. completed by coupling action liquid seepage field ion exchange reactions. In production process, only one injection can be carried out a certain stope, so it impossible improve effect through practice. By simulating rare earth ions, this paper builds test stope tr...

We use the exogenous variation in fertility caused by a twin birth to measure the impact of an unplanned child on a woman’s marital status. Contrary to previous research, we find that an unplanned child has little effect on the married mother’s probability of subsequent divorce or remarriage. For unmarried mothers we find that an unplanned child does reduce the likelihood of marriage, but that ...

BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to compare the risk factors for unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) transfer after emergency department (ED) admission in patients with infections and those without infections and to explore the feasibility of using risk stratification tools for sepsis to derive a prediction system for such unplanned transfer. METHODS The ICU transfer group include...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Infections are common after intracerebral hemorrhage, but little is known about the risk of serious infection requiring readmission after hospital discharge. METHODS To determine if infections are prevalent in patients readmitted within 30 days of discharge, we performed a retrospective cohort study of patients discharged from nonfederal acute care hospitals in Californ...
