Variation in Case-Mix Adjusted Unplanned Pediatric Cardiac ICU Readmission Rates.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To identify modifiable factors leading to unplanned readmission and characterize differences in adjusted unplanned readmission rates across hospitals.

Design

Retrospective cohort study using prospectively collected clinical registry data SETTING:: Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium clinical registry.

Patients

Patients admitted to a pediatric cardiac ICU at Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium hospitals.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

We examined pediatric cardiac ICU encounters in the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium registry from October 2013 to March 2016. The primary outcomes were early (< 48 hr from pediatric cardiac ICU transfer) and late (2-7 d) unplanned readmission. Generalized logit models id
