Analysis of Clinical Criteria for Discharge Among Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19: Development and Validation of a Risk Prediction Model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 can clinically deteriorate after a period of initial stability, making optimal timing of discharge a clinical and operational challenge.

Objective

To determine risks for post-discharge readmission and death among patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Design

Multicenter retrospective observational cohort study, 2020-2021, with 30-day follow-up.

Participants

Adults admitted for care of COVID-19 respiratory disease between March 2, 2020, and February 11, 2021, to one of 180 US hospitals affiliated with the HCA Healthcare system.

Main measures

Readmission to or death at an HCA hospital within 30 days of discharge was assessed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was calculated using a
