A risk score to predict 30-day hospital readmission rate in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

There is lack of 30-day hospital readmission prediction score in patients with liver cirrhosis and SBP. The aim of this study is to recognize factors capable of predicting 30-day readmission and to develop a readmission risk score in patients with SBP.

Methods

This study prospectively examined the 30-day hospital readmission for patients previously discharged with a diagnosis of SBP. Based on index hospitalization variables, a multivariable logistic regression model was implemented to recognize predictors of patient hospital readmission within 30 days. Consequently, Mousa readmission risk score was established to predict 30-day hospital readmission.

Results

Of 475 patients hospitalized with SBP, 400 patients were included in this study. The 30-day r
