Health Services Research, 10/06/09
Lorch SA et al. – Medical and sociodemographic factors explained the largest amount of variation in risk–adjusted readmission rates. NICU facilities were significantly associated with readmission rates up to 1 year after discharge, but the outpatient facility where patients received outpatient care can explain much of this variation. Characteristics of outpatient facilities, not the NICUs, were associated with variations in readmission rates.
