Thirty-Day Readmission Risk Among Adults Hospitalized for Heart Failure or Acute Myocardial Infarction With and Without HIV.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People with HIV (PWH) have a higher incidence of heart failure (HF) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) than people without HIV (PWoH). While hospital readmission is a common quality-of-care indicator, readmission risk for HF or AMI by HIV status is not well defined.

Methods

We included adults hospitalized for HF or AMI from the 2016-2022 Nationwide Readmissions Database. The outcome was 30-day all-cause unplanned readmission. We examined trends in readmission risk between 2016 and 2022, and subgroup-specific readmission risk in 2022, by HIV status. Crude and age-and sex-adjusted risk ratios (aRR) were calculated using marginal estimates from mixed-effects logistic regressions.

Results

From 2016 to 2022, 30-day readmission risk significantly declin
